Topic	Do you have any opinions on the Touhou games?

One of the other things about Heian Alien for me is that a section of it is exactly the Fire Emblem Fates Lost in Thoughts theme and that was used so much it became my least favorite FE leitmotif. Necrofantasy/Necrofantasia are one of of my favorite tracks in the series though. It's really just the quintessential Touhou theme imo with the fast paced piano, synths, zunpets, and strings. Yeah Raiko has that as well. It has the whole middle of nowhere, disconnected from the rest of the plot sound down. Doesn't feel very conclusive or important though, I do like it but similar to Utsuho being before Satori in Double Spoiler, it sometimes makes me wonder if any time Raiko shows up again, she'll be demoted. I don't know exactly what I'd pick for a most ZUN sounding song, but it'd probably come from the middle of Mountain of Faith. Stage 3 or stage 4's themes maybe. GiftedACIII posted... For some reason ZUN stopped with the stage 5 boss being a new Player Character after SA. Sanae became the last recurring player character. It even took awhile until Sakuya and Youmu started returning. 15 unexpectantly had Reisen but then it went back to Youmu and Sakuya. 16 did have Cirno and Aya as amusing gimmicks though lol. Maybe it's just the clearest way of announcing the story's changing direction again. Start out small, go back to two characters. GiftedACIII posted... Agreed. How does UM do it? I haven't spoiled myself much on UM. Although maybe you haven't checked out anything of it either? In WBaWC, it's a bit unique in that the stage 1-4 and extra bosses are both against the final boss who has a single subordinate. However the stage 4 boss is like Satori in being very relevant to the game unlike many other stage 4s. I actually do kind of remember UM's arcade mode. It's something like you do a few fights, then in the middle you fight either Byakuren or Miko depending on who you picked. Then it turns out it was Mamizou in disguise, Mamizou gives you a time and places and challenges you to a real fight. You win that and move on to the final boss with all the masks. The WBaWC one sounds more like something I'd like. Local nuisance antagonizes everyone including protagonist. GiftedACIII posted... Yeah, it isn't a fighter. It's a beat-em-up. It's single player only last I checked. A beat em up in which Reimu now does the Sonic the Hedgehog spin jump apparently. Didn't see that coming. --- Still waiting on that third threat <cite>ViewtifulJoe posted [p:976958194] in Do you hav... [t:80523651]...</cite> <quote>GiftedACIII posted... </cite><quote>Interesting.
