Oh neat! I didn't consider material outside of the games themselves. There's something that feels extra special about having a character being "canonized" in a full game with a portrait and lines and everything (even though the fighters and books are still canon). Hope we can get something like that for more of the rest of the extended cast, too.

Calling it an arc is a bit disingenuous, as ULiL was really just a setup for LoLK, and while AoCF was a consequence of the occult incident, it didn't really involve the orbs directly. Anyway, HSiFS is chronologically after AoCF, and has no relation to the "Occult Orb" games, so it's safe to call that arc finished.

Why not? It's only been 2 mainline games since the last spell card only game, not nearly enough to use only newhus. We'll have to see at least some characters that have already been in either StB, DS, or ISC, and Kaguya only got to be in one of those despite being a major character.

When you think bad western art, you mostly think of stuff off DeviantArt and FurAffinity and those sorts of sites. These are websites were ANY sort of criticism is seen as trolling and condemned viciously by the community. That atmosphere has maintained and redoubled on itself for years too. This leads to art being absolute fucking dogshit but receiving nothing but praise, so the artist doesn't improve, and western art stays trash.
The cultural differences don't help. West is all "everyone is great and special and if you try you'll succeed!" where in the east you gotta earn and keep that success and need to be constantly proving and improving yourself. Those attitudes aren't necessarily accurate to real life, but they are what they are.

It's a recent development. If I go look back at ancient fanart, it's usually pretty poor quality, but it's much more similar to bad japanese art than the current abomination of style is. Mostly I think it's a big game of telephone, where instead of learning from anatomy and then stylizing, a certain kind of style has been copied over and over to the point where people aren't learning from reality anymore, and thus it ends up really inhuman and ugly.
Not to mention it's just low effort and lazy.

Assuming we get Aya or hatate as playable characters, but I'm more inclined to think of it as a some sort of ISC or a mix between the two but with more focus on the camera instead of just being an optional item.

Kaguya couldn't give any less fucks about what's going on, I feel it would be much more probable to see Eirin and sagume doing some shady things. The only development where I could see kaguya appearing is if sumireko happens to reach entein or if kaguya is dragged in something involving mokou.

The Perfect Possession "Urban Legend" was something they specifically crafted too help abuse their abilities and they personally spread the rumor themselves (at least too start with).
And the honest most likely scenario is that the "arc" will never conclude because itll always remain as something ZUN can come back and toy with at some point when he feels like it. When you get down too it Touhou doesn't necessarily work in "arcs". At the very least, im pretty confident that's now how ZUN looks at it.

Fairies are pranksters by nature, anon. They are always like that. The reason she's a "memehu" was because she was such an unorthodox design for Touhou Project. Lampads invariably have the power to drive people to madness. It's in their mythology, it was not a lazy Reisen power clone. And it goes much deeper than that. Hecate, the Greek goddess Hecatia is based on, is one of the two goddesses (the other being the Roman God, Libertas) that inspired the Statue of Liberty. In fact, Hecate's crown and torch almost definitely mirrors the ones seen on the Statue of Liberty. It makes all the more sense considering Clownpiece has the same torch Hecate uses in her depictions and is in the exact same pose as the Statue of Liberty, further connecting her to Hecate. Hecate and Clownpiece's connection to the moon stems from the Greeks conflating the Egyptian god, Isis (God of the Moon and Underworld), with their own god, Hecate. Clownpiece isn't just some run of the mill wacky random design, she is as deeply entrenched in lore as most other major characters. Her clothes, pose, and ability all make sense when you connect the dots. Yes, in the end of the day she is just another fairy, but do realize that she is no ordinary fairy. She is the most complex and brilliantly designed fairy we've seen yet.

>Sagume
She's a Lunarian goddess, Toyo and Yori are Lunarian princesses. Very different, and was kinda strange that we didn't have an outright god on the Moon yet. Also has a new and interesting ability, character, and heaps of plot importance, but I digress.

Yeah, I know all that, but it doesn't change that it's all been done before and been done better.
I get that fairies are all pranksters, but that doesn't change that this has been done five times over now. I get that she kind has too have madness powers, that's what Lampads do, but that doesn't change that it's also been done. Christ, it's even a "if you look into X you'll go crazy!" thing too.
And really, why make her a fairy at all in that case? Make her a Lampad. Hecate is attended by Lampads, Hecatia is Hecate, but doesn't have a Lampad serving her, just a fairy with Lampad-like qualities. Why? Why does the Goddess of Hell and Magic, one of THE kingpins of myth, have a garden-variety Hell fairy as her go-to henchman? Why is she a fairy and not a Lampad?

Are you playing dumb? Clownpiece is confirmed to be a lampad. Lampads are nothing but fairies (nymphs). The only consorts Hecate has are fairies. The only thing that makes a lampad special from other nymphs is their magic torch. Clownpiece has all that and is wonderfully tied into the American flag through both the Moon and Hecatia/Isis/Liberty. Her eccentric and "lunatic" personality is nothing more than a poke at the torch's ability to drive people mad. Reisen's ability is more akin to causing illusions and hallucinations in a person's vision, thus deteriorating their mental state through the manipulation of radio waves and light waves.

Like I explained in >>19486655, arcs is kind of an inadequate way of putting it, and while ZUN does focus in on a particular theme for a while he has been getting much looser with that as you've said. The way he describes DDC through HSiFS is "answers too his previous works", so I guess maybe we could consider that the "theme". How it seems too go with stuff like the religion based works is he will usually only expand on something like that if he feels he can do more with it. That in general is how these sort of arcs come about. To be honest I feel like the next several games are going too be more dis attached from previous stuff and each other and just be their own thing.
You might be on too something with the "Outsiders" idea though. I dont think itll do much with the outside world (plus we already have a bunch of stuff that deals with that), but I think he is going too explore "Otherworlds" more. The hell subplot he's been setting up in the manga really feels like it might end up tying into a game. Paying attention too the manga is always a good way of getting an idea of where his mind currently is.

Not him but this should be common sense. Newer characters get shafted real hard because people are already attached too the older characters, and many artists have certain characters that they like too draw more often then others. Even still though the numbers arent awful, just not as good as the many characters people already have affection for. Not too mention many artist have moved too twitter and many people still use Pixiv numbers when talking about this kind of stuff.
Still isnt a metric too describe quality though. ZUN has put way more effort in into his newer games and characters than his older works. There is alot of objectivity in this. Koakuma gets some much art despite being a literally nothing character yet still gets more art than many new characters with great designs and so much more thought put into them.

Exceptions cant exist? Even in terms of older characters being so overwhelmingly popular there are still some that simply arent (Letty for example).

Also being "boring" other than being very subjective is also not a metric you should use when talking about this when characters that are literally nothing midbosses are more popular. Lets not pretend characters like Flandre arent "boring" either with her complete lack of depth. Yet she is consistently one of the most popular characters.

Where? Cite it. Every source there I've seen has her as just a fairy, every scene has her acting like just a fairy, everyone including herself treats has like just a fairy. Not a Lampad-type fairy or anything, just a fairy.

>Reisen's ability is more akin to causing illusions and hallucinations in a person's vision, thus deteriorating their mental state through the manipulation of radio waves and light waves.
Reisen's ability is listed in IN as "manipulating insanity." Same for PoFV, SWR, Bougetsushou, and AoCF. Yes, she does it in a different way, and she can do other things with her ability too, but you're acting like this is some knockoff "oh well she CAN drive people crazy but that's just a side thing" sort of deal. It's not. Madness is what she does. Given what Clownpiece is based on it makes sense for her to also have madness-inducing abilities, but don't act like it's anything new in Touhou, which is exactly her problem.

I get what you're saying, but given that it's the only unique angle she has besides the awful design it's not enough to make her a good character. Maybe if it was emphasized more, but it isn't. For all intents and purposes she's just a playful prankster fairy. You can disagree if you want, I don't want to hijack this thread too much, but I really think you'd be wrong to do so.

Not by much, and you're missing the point. Madness has been Reisen's shtick since IN, and thus Clownpiece's ability is nothing new or interesting.

That was your argument. I told you to show me a lampad that was that plus not waifubait or an RPG enemy. You're moving the goalpost.

He also created Sanae specifically to be a third protagonist and that just kinda comes and goes at random.

This really isn't a big deal at all. You'd have more of a point if you were saying that this should have been Hatate's focus game. Not like it matters since this isn't a "pure" photo game anyway.

And that's what I did. No, of course an RTS unit isn't a better character than Clownpiece, that'd be silly, and I wasn't saying that at all. This is this, that is that.

When I said "it's all been done before and better" I meant the other stuff character trait I've been talking about, see >>19493530, and the whole 'murica thing. Sorry, should have been clearer. Bad idea to argue about bullshit when you're hungry, I guess.

>>19495459
That's true, but Sanae's still showing up pretty often, and you're right, this SHOULD probably be Hatate's game. I guess the idea is Aya doesn't want to screw with the moon anymore, and neither of the journalists really do ISC-ish stuff? Ugh, I guess.
Point is there isn't going to be a "pure" photo game for this era of Touhou, which sucks. Realize that with this we might be missing out on ZUN art of this Aya! If that's not a disaster I don't know what is.

My argument is that Clownpeice isn't a good character because every aspect of her is done better by other Touhous, except for the Lampad angle, which is barely utilized, and her design, which is shit. It's the old 'murica thing, that's such a trope it's got a name. No, I don't know another character that combines all these things, but that doesn't make her good, unique, or likable.

>Case closee.
Agreed. You're not refuting my points at all and this is already derailing the thread way too much. Will happily go on about how the shitty clown is shit in an actual Clownpiece thread, maybe, but that's enough about this here.

Hmm let's see fairies are all the same personality wise and Reisen has a similar but different ability to Clownpiece. Are you saying that Cirno is irrelevant too just because Letty has the better similar power? Fuck off. Clownpiece is the most creative fairy yet, in my opinion. Not a trope or something that's been "done to death". So yes, I do agree with you, the case is closed due to lack of refutation. Your lack of refutation for STILL not giving examples of characters that are "done better" in her niche.

I predict that this game will suffer due to being rushed. There will be a wealth of reused and reskinned spell cards as well as fewer "scenes" than ISC, which had 10. I also predict that three out of the five new songs will be forgettable, with the fourth being replayable at best and the fifth being amazing. Oh yeah and the "plot" will be a huge "wow that was fucking nothing" and will never be mentioned or referenced again.

A lot of old characters are very archetypical and one-note (even after getting the fanwork treatment, ironically) with little to no motives. Some of these have extremely basic designs, some don't even have dialogues (as you said, Koakuma). This makes them easier to draw though, which is probably why they get art regularly. It's also amazing how easy it is to sway and warp people's perception when it comes to this series; all it takes is for one doujin artist to know how to manipulate the reader.

Pretty sure this is actually wrong. I remember in his MoF interview they joke about how at one point (around when the game came out I presume) ZUN would say that she is just too powerful too be a protagonist, and then almost immediately forgot he said that.

Dream was a PC98 game and looking back too those games for answers is not helpful in the slightest, and Phantasmagoria of Flower View was technically supposed too be the last game in the series if I recall correctly. I think he views that particular type of game as a sort of "compilation game", too which he seems too have moved on too and prefers other types of games too fill in that roll (like the photo games and ISC). If were being honest it might also be preferable for him because Phantasmagoria's take alot more work too make (and he's busy enough as it is these days) and he overall just seems too enjoy making other types of games more.

Sumireko is basically designed to be a certain kind of character that people will often find unlikable, in the youthful arrogant cynicism that she portrays, especially so because she's explicitly from the Outside World and so reflects more tangible and relatable traits to fans close to that time. Many people can't separate their dislike of a character's traits as though they were real, from their opinion of the character as a character in a story, so there tends to be a considerable amount of disdain for Sumireko for these reasons.
