Touhou newfag here. Which is the best game to play first? I tried The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil for awhile, seems nice

The only character I am familiar with is Cirno.

>> No.7110501

All of them.

If you've already started with EoSD, might as well just play all of them in order.

>> No.7110502

Imperishable Night

>> No.7110508

Do them in order, play EoSD as a trainer, IN as spell practice, SA/UFO/PCB as what you would actually call a Touhou game worth playing.

>> No.7110511

Imperishable Night is one of the easier ones.

They are all the same though except for which waifus are in them. So just keep playing EoSD

>> No.7110514

The one that you enjoy the most. Get all of them, then the one that you enjoyed the most of those will be the one you practice on most.

Alright. Another question, are all the installments the bullet shooting type?

>> No.7110517

I would personally recommend PCB as the first game. It keeps the bullet density up, even on Easy, teaching you to not see the bullets, but the spaces between them. Stage 4 will also teach you patience and streaming techniques which are vital for any shmup.

EoSD is kind of old and shitty, and IN will teach you bad deathbombing habits. I have nothing against the later games, and SA is my favorite, but they might be too gimmicky for a beginner.

>>7110501 is also a good plan.

>> No.7110528

Make sure you get the vsync patch to remove input lag from EOSD, PCB, and IN

All of the Windows integer games are the standard danmaku games (with the exception of 9, maybe). 7.5, 10.5, and 12.3 are the fighting games, 9.5 and 12.5 are the Aya picture taking games, and 12.8 is Cirno bullet freezing shenanigans.

ASM: Story of Eastern Wonderland (old and quirky)
C: EoSD (hard, old, reliable, a bit quirky, and very fun)
C++: IN (complex and consistent)
Java: PCB (easy and slow)
Visual Basic: IN easy modo (easy and uninteresting)
Python: PCB easy modo (very easy)
Any functional language: SA (very hard, gimmicky, and fun)

Touhou games are boring as shit. Rehash after rehash.

I'll stick with the fan art, music, and VNs thanks.
