Did ZUN ever explain why he's not bringing back all the awesome characters from the PC-98 era? Ive been reading some of the character profiles and they seem fucking awesome. Hell even a passing mention is worth it.

He said that all the story before EoSD didn't happen.

Even if you ignore Reimu, Marisa and Alice...
Yuka came back.

I feel it in my bones, etc.

Seriously, why makes ZUN hate Mima so much?

The same reason ZUN won't use any of his other characters.

Pic related.

1. Back then, Touhou was just his little "miko kills demons" game, so all characters were just created for the purpose of danmaku. Personality is not important.
2. So when he added "continuity", he recycled old character ideas (Yumeko->Sakuya, Elly->Komachi, Yuuka -> Yuuka) and released manga to take care of character development.
3. Some of the old games didn't play in Gensokyo or featured characters who don't live in Gensokyo.

Yes, but that fails to take into consideration the fact that Mima is awesome.

It's not translated, but I think Mima tries to become a god at the end of Mystic Square.

You're saying this as if anything changed in the meantime.

Yeah, stuff has changed in the meantime.

Plus, there are plenty of PC98 characters with interesting personalities and plenty of Windows characters with zero personality. So that point is kind of shaky to begin with.

Because it's easier writing the new blank slates than going back and having to flesh something out for an older character to explain where they've been.

i guess he took shinki, stripped her down of most of her power and split what was left into kanako and suwako then.

He doesn't have to even explain where they've been all he has to do is just plop them in a game. But ZUN doesn't reuse characters accept for playable characters and Cirno.

I want him to bring back that one Ghost chick as a playable character. That ghost that haunts the shrine.

Byakuren has a shrine. Her story checks out.

I wish to play as the Captain.

It's a temple, not a shrine, learn the difference. (Durr hurr.)
