Why is touhou 6 the most universally known and liked.

It might not be everyone's favorite, but its probably in everyone's top 3.

At the very least, no one has any problem recognizing or naming all of the characters from that game.

It also has best girl Meiling.

For me, I like it because I find it the simpliest. It doesn't have any other gameplay mechanics (cherry border, time points, etc.), doesn't have a seemingly cruel difficulty (looks at SA), and allows you to continue should you run out of lives.

Whenever I need a quick fix but don't want to put the time into an actual run, I usually just pop on EoSD.

At least the cast is more memorable than the UFO cast.

I figured by now i'd get used to them, but the only ones that really stand out are Byakuren and Kogasa. Shou is kinda neat but completely ignored.

Hell the entire TD cast stuck faster with me than UFO and they're much newer. Even the DDCs aside from the not-prismrivers are much more likable than Ichirin or Murasa.

He kinda did with DDC, except he chose creatures that appear in both Eastern and Western fantasy (mermaid, dullahan, werewolf), which honestly fits his theme better.

Still, I'd welcome a fully foreign Touhou, since when have we had one of those, since PCB? It may be hard for ZUN to create foreign characters that would have as much impact as vampires, maids, or magicians though.

I agree she has no personality, no sense of purpose. As much as I hate to admit it, its partially to blame because she gets ignored by the fandom.

Because it is the first game, therefore anyone that knows what Touhou is probably is going to play it before anything (as 1 to 5 require emulation and whatnot).

Now, assuming that the person in question still isn't skilled enough to 1cc the game, he will spend a lot of time on 6. When he can finish the game and get the good endings, even if he does not try to beat Flandre and move to another game, the time he will spend until being able to finish the other games will be lower than 6's. After 1cc one game to 1cc another comes faster.

Also, great songs and memorable characters. Meiling have beautiful patterns, Patchouli have some very funny spell cards and Sakuya can stop time (and everyone knows how much people love their Za Warudos).

Personally, I'd rank TD and EoSD in the lowest position, with SA and DDC at the top.

I used to rank TD slightly above EoSD, but the Touhou 3D stuff has made me like it more. I just never cared for anyone prior to stage 5. Patchouli, Meiling, and Rumia are just boring, and Cirno a shit. They don't even have memorable music to go along with their stages. Out of all of those, I only remember Beloved Tomboyish Daughter, simply because it's Cirno's theme and Cirno is fucking everywhere.

To be fair, though, EoSD wasn't bad. It was just really bland compared to its sequels. It's remembered because it's the oldest and the simplest, kind of like SMB being more well known than SMB3 or SMW because it was first, even though it was severely lacking compared to its successors.

I kind of liked them before that commercial came out and ruined them for me.
