I wonder if this aura on every sprite has something to do with the unknown magic Marisa can sense.

[Anonymous No.]

So I can win if I beat the boss attack twice? The game seems really forgiving, although I consider that a point in its favor.

It's a guess because the makai fairies in the code might indicate where she's going next for stage 4. https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Unfinished_Dream_of_All_Living_Ghost/Story/Marisa%27s_Scenario

I'm pretty sure they just happen to be there along with a bunch of other projectiles and sprites from past games
It sounds like she's too busy with claiming ownership of 'the land' to go to makai. Actually has anyone got any ideas of what this actually refers to? In the prologue it's called the ancient land but there weren't really any clues in the trial. Or I wonder if it's not a specific place and it's referring to all of Gensokyo.

So what's the deal with the freebie boss and spells? I thought it was combo related but it seems inconsistent, so I'm not sure.
Also are the skill cards translated yet?

According to the omake you get free ex spells and boss attacks if you destroy a lot of spirits at once.

Haven't played 2hu in years, is there no power item in this game? And why are the point items so hard to see?

There is no power. Those things fill up your charge gauge.

>>43432314
Farming spirits is the meta then, got it. That makes sense, I've noticed it tends to happen most often during more intense exchanges.
Not sure how much I like that mechanic though, it depends heavily on your opponent playing along. The game could very well devolve into endless neutral resets if it isn't either changed or if the fairy/spirit durability isn't reduced.

>>43432325
Anon you can't use the "it's been a long time" bullshit excuse considering how old PoFV is at this point. I doubt you played the original Windows trilogy back when it was released and then never touched the series again.

How dodgeable are the high level spells in general? I feel that Reimu's high level spells are really nasty. If they are all comparably hard to dodge, the game may be a race to level up your spells. If you stall, you may be denying your opponent an opportunity to combo, but won't you still fall behind in the race to level up?

Would still be lazy but at least there's a workaround

[Anonymous No.]

Anyone that thinks that the actual game will be anything more than adding in cards or characters that were already made is out of their mind.
No replays, no netplay, no testing (Friendly reminder that ZUN admitted that he didn't test half of the cards in 18).
But hey! At least he hired someone to make sprites for him. Unless he conned someone into doing that for free while he counted his gacha and figure money.

I'd like to start some newhu speculation. The following are names of the difficulty levels in the demo:
>テントウムシ (Ladybug)
>軍隊アリ (Army Ant)
>キラービー (Killer Bee)
>魑魅魍魎 (Chimimouryou)
Taking this at face value, it seems the bughu family is going to get some expansion. But I think the more interesting takeaway is the Chimimouryou. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimim%C5%8Dry%C5%8D
I've never heard of it before. Wiki gave me some interesting things to chew on. For one, it seems they're actually two seperate creatures. Could we be facing another set of sisters?
>"Chimi" (魑魅) refers to the monsters of the mountains, and "mōryō" (魍魎) refers to the monsters of the river
Mountains and rivers... Could the newhu(s) be related to the yamawaro and the kappa?
>Chimi are said to be monsters that come about from strange atmosphere (miasma) in mountains and forests.
I think the aura >>43430814 pointed out will end up being miasma.

Do we have other examples of difficulty levels hinting at characters past stage 3? I checked WBaWC and the names are like Lamb, Shiba, Sabertooth tiger. So names of random animals based on how dangerous they are, without any link to the actual cast.
That chimimouryou thing does seem odly specific though, I can see the japanese pronunciation of its chinese name being used as a character name, like for the three matriarches.
Mountains and rivers... After all, Takane was behind the recent black market incident.

It could just be flavor text after all. Or we might still be in for a new bughu but she won't be among the list used for flavor text, like how WBaWC introduced several beasthus that didn't match the difficulty titles (Urumi, Kutaka, Saki, Yachie).

It's partly famous because of how cool and complicated it looks. I think if you're Japanese you'd be expected to know it. It's used quite generically to mean lots of youkai and monsters and groups of them rather than being restricted to refer to those just from mountains and rivers.
Just searching the touhou wiki brings up a few results including Rin using the term to refer to monsters and youkai in general.

Wonder how ressources will work if there's no scoring. I can't imagine you just having to do everything on one life as if its one big photo game. That'd be a little underwhelming, and I don't particularly like scoring.
I wouldn't exactly be fond of, say, a certain type of beast or spirit not yet seen being tied bringing a life piece or something like that, but I guess it is better than static/no ressources. I just think it'd be hard to not make it trivial or rng.

I don't know how to feel. PoFV is my favourite game in the series and I've been waiting so long for a new VS game, but it's not living up to what I liked about PoFV so much.
I'm still having fun, and hopefully the final game can patch up a few of the things bothering me (most notably scope being tied to charge and charge being its own button) but I can't shake that feeling of disappointment.

her aura moves pretty quick if you can bounce it between close spirits but it does move pretty slow otherwise

>>43438788
it's because there's no reversal system

[Anonymous No.]

>>43438792
It reminds me of WBaWC's title screen where there was something behind her that probably represented the animal spirit that possessed her, and Aunn says Reimu's walking into a trap by going to the animal realm so maybe it has something to do with the 4th yakuza boss or their animal spirit.
It could mean nothing though honestly.

[Anonymous No.]

3 bombs per stage feels a bit excessive, with how you can abuse them to clear bullets or brute force the boss attacks. Having 3 lives overall for the entire game but getting bombs on death would make the game more challenging, but I'm not sure if that would work well with the messy bullet vomit you can face in these games.

[Anonymous No.]

>>43438812
I mean, it's a whole bunch of things, but what it really comes down to is it feels like a lot of the system was changed to appeal to people who didn't like PoFV in the first place. It's an awkward middle ground between the traditional games and the Phantasmagoria games that doesn't really mesh well together. Like the whole need for a bomb system, when the punishment for using a bomb being left with no gauge previously worked just fine.

Even as just someone who's been collecting 1ccs on Normal (but could probably move to Hard already), I've only found it challenging on Lunatic, and even then I've cleared Seiran's route without dying once.
Aunn's route was hell though, I've lost like 7 times before beating stage 3 reimu. Her scope barely helps, though at least it's not almost unusable like nazrin's.

[Anonymous No.]

>>43439320
The first story is reimu going to the animal realm to find a potential culprit. The second thread will likely have marisa venture into makai. The third one with Seiran and Nazrin involves some mysterious gem. All of these will likely tie together in the end.

My biggest problem with the PC-98 games is how hard it is to tell what you're supposed to be avoiding with all the colourful shit all over the screen. 4 is probably the easiest to read at a glance but this wasn't really fixed until the Classic Era games made player shots and point items translucent.

Aunn in general is just really bad, even the CPU struggles to play as her. Having a strong shot seems to be the most important thing given that charge attacks don't clear bullets (unless you have god reimu privileges) and the random enemies are damage sponges now so you need that firepower to deal with bosses. Aunn very quickly struggles to deal with the onslaught of things to deal with and can't do much to fight back.

I'm just not getting what the gameflow should be in this game. How do I consistently put out pressure? It seems incredibly reliant on what your opponent does, bosses seem like a really broken source of bouncable bullets but milking them just feels inconsistent given how weak your shot is and how difficult it can be to line up enemies where you need them.

[Anonymous No.]

I don't know if I'm getting old, but it's really super hard to actually see the bullets in this one. It seems like there's a lot of non-bullet shit flying around and getting in the way.

Kind of agree. Especially with the constant time-stops of 'BOSS ATTACK' or 'EXTRA ATTACK', after the enemy spams two in a row and you get one off too in a matter of a second or two, it's really just good luck hope you don't get instakilled after the animation finishes

Graze more, it spawns more of the little things needed to do charged shots, then time your charged shots better so you use less to kill more which should be easy because fairies usually come in lines and overlap paths a lot. Then spam lvl3 charged shots and lvl4 charged shots. If they summon a boss, you'll be getting shitloads of the things so you can spam charged shots of various levels, but usually lvl1s work for boss killing unless you're playing Nazrin lmao

[Anonymous No.]

>>43446011
>Graze more, it spawns more of the little things needed to do charged shots
you can also get them by slowing down bullets in your scope
this is why matches with Seiran are so fucking chaotic, because she starts shitting out tons of bullets from the get-go and you will be fat with charge immediately, all hell breaking loose once she spawns a Boss Attack and hits you with the mass of bullet bullets

Phantasmagoria of unfinished dream, the "all living ghost" part seems like a mistranslation of Phantasmagoria.
Also, i don't like the actual name of the game, it breaks the most important rule of title naming, the 4 words rule:
"To be catchy, the name of your title must have at most 4 words, 5 is dangerous territory but not impossible, 6 or more, scrap it and think of another name".
It's a clusterfuck to say the title of this game and that's a problem that Touhou never had in the past.

Yeah for story mode, I guess that's a better way to do it than how it was with waiting some time against a cheating AI until it gives up.
Also one thing I noticed is that if your timing is good (or bad) enough, you can kill the boss attack exactly at the same time as the AI launches another boss attack and then you have to do it again.
