Why is the Ten Desires OST so underappreciated?

I mean sure, it's no SA or the likes, but it's still great in my opinion.

It's pretty good, I guess. But it is still much worse than compared to any other OST. It has some interesting ideas and a new style. I liked Trojan Green Asteroid, too. But it's still nowhere near as good as the other OSTs

I love all Touhou games. My only issues with Ten Desires are:

- Mamizou is by far the easiest EX boss I've faced. I beat her on the first attempt.
- Sanae instead of...ya know what? Screw it, just Sanae being playable in general.
- Overall gameplay felt a bit easier than most Touhous (but last Touhou I beat on Lunatic was SA so everything seems easier by comparison).

Otherwise, loved the game. Liked the attempt of a new mechanic, liked the re-introduction of practice spell cards, and the OST is great as usual. His artwork also seemed to improve slightly as well.

Rigid Paradise was a great theme but I cannot really remember any others. Though that might be because I haven't played Ten Desires as often as the others (not because it's worse but it came out while I was in uni whereas everything else came out while I was in college and had tons of free time).

This was also a nice 38BEETS album from M3-29 which was entirely Ten Desires arrangements. Also it was no vocal EDM, which I prefer.

Let's Live in a Lovely Cemetery is possibly the best thing ZUN has ever produced. Too bad it's just not working that well as STG background music. It should have been an album-only piece, like Innocent Treasures or Hide-and-Seek at the Shrine.

>>9546995
I may not be remembering things well, but isn't Kanako's second shrine maiden supposed to be a youkai? The inherent contradiction of youkai youkai fighter aside, youkai don't usually get PC jobs in main games. So no, Sanae will be with us even after Kanako gets the second shrine maiden.

Well, compared to others OST, it's really average. Many songs are boring and repetitive (Ghost Lead, (worst Toho theme so far), boss 2 theme, stage 5 and 6 and extra stage themes are boring as hell) and some theme are pretty good (Rigid Paradise, True Administrator, Desire Drive..), so this is why I don't really like it

>Mamizou is by far the easiest EX boss I've faced. I beat her on the first attempt.

I've beaten every EX boss, and it took me 11 days to beat Mamizou. It took 4 days each for me to beat Nue and Mokou, and everyone else took less time than that. Difficulty is subjective.

>Sanae instead of...ya know what? Screw it, just Sanae being playable in general.

What's wrong with her? She was fantastic in UFO.

>Overall gameplay felt a bit easier than most Touhous

I agree, but I don't see that as necessarily a bad thing. The game was also pretty stingy with resources to balance it out a bit.

I have that theory where, as ZUN's production values are getting better, it's getting increasingly harder to outdo him. It's not that the arranges are getting worse. They just don't compare as favorably to the originals anymore.

I just didn't like the new game mechanics. Probably due to not understanding them. (I think it took me a week or more to figure out there was a button to use the energy stuff without dying)

And I still don't understand how to use it efficiently (getting small green and red souls seems like what I want, but I'm not sure how to get them efficiently).

I should just go watch some replays and see if it gives me any interest in replaying it.

I think there might be some truth to that. I haven't found anything I prefer over the original 死霊の夜桜/Night Sakura of Dead Spirits and 聖徳伝説 ~ True Administrator.

Though of course there will be future arranges that will probably be better than there are now so I think its best to hold off on that theory.

Desire Drive, and Rigid Paradise are the best.
