Now that Fairy Wars has been out for a bit, let's talk about the music. What is your impression of it? Personally I really disliked that ZUN reused the stage boss theme for all 3 fairies and for the two stages. The song isn't bad, but it's just a boss song. One of the things I really like about Touhou is that every boss has their own theme, their own patterns and sometimes their own bullet types or manner of attack. This adds personality to each boss you face, and while some of those elements are still there in Fairy Wars the same song made it feel a lot like the Cave shooters where I don't give a damn about what I'm taking down. I'm not asking for a song for each of the 6 routes, but one for each fairy would have been nice. In fact, if he was time constrained why didn't he just reuse the songs he already made for them (CD manga)? It wouldn't be the first time he reused a song (spoiler level from DS).

With that said I really enjoyed the regular themes, stage 3 is fucking fantastic and the 3 fairies theme, although short, sets the battle in a really nice way. At first it feels bossy, as in "oh fuck, shit just got real" but then it gets lighter, and then you realize it's just fairies playing around. I really liked that. I have mixed reactions about the new Marisa theme though, what do you guys think of it?

Marisa's theme is kind of bad to listen to on its own but it fits the battle very well.

Extra stage theme is pretty cool though.

I really like the opening theme. Haven't really payed attention to the others.

I can see why he did that and here's why:
First of all, it's a spinoff game "for summer", not an actual one. Spinoff games don't deserve that many ZUNthemes.
Second, you essentially pick "routes" but the stages remain the same, there's really no point in having a lot of themes, it would make it too complicated.

Also Love Colored Master Spark is the best Marisa theme and the official one in my heart~

I really like Fairy Wars, it captures the atmosphere of a childish quarrel perfectly. Almost feels like you're there blasting at the fairies. Marisa's theme is pretty energetic, overall similar in feel to Love-Colored Master Spark, though it's more cheerful since she's just fooling around with a fairy.

I found it pretty meh. Not sure if it'll grow on me as I play more.

Do all the routes, in any difficulty. It must be a 1cc.

>> No.5952934

I might as well squeeze a request in here, do any of you have a scan of the game's cover? Haven't seen it digitalized yet.

>> No.5952950

has the song been uploaded yet? im incapable of beating this game.

>> No.5952956

Music was pretty plain. Better than StB and DS though.

It doesn't bother me much because it's a ".x" game. I hope ZUN is already working on th13

Solid. Stage themes aren't very remarkable though.
Magus Night sounded terrible at first but it grew on me after the clear. Now it's my favorite along with the trio's boss theme.

>> No.5952989

I didn't mid the music. It's about average for touhou, and varied enough to not get repetitive like shoot the bullet and double spoiler. It's a side game, after all, I can accept that Zun wouldn't put as much effort into it as the main games.

OP here. Someone just now uploaded the cover on the wiki. I'll share it if anyone else wants it.

Year-Round Absorbed Curiosity is my favorite song. ZUN's instruments are so much better than they used to be.

>> No.5953040

Beats the tar out of DS and StB that's for sure. I hope he follows this angle in the future, mainly because there were less trumpets blaring this time around.

Me again. I did some editing and removed the lines from the edges. Should look nicer now.

Fuck you, the trumpets make every song 10x better, every touhou fag knows that.
