Zexaeon Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Holy crap, Cirno in a fighting game? YES. DO WANT. Lar, even you should play it, despite claiming to suck at fighting games, just so you can be Cirno. xD =O I wonder who the boss of the game will be (always excited for new Touhou characters). 12.3 though? That's odd. Why not 12.5 like every other Mid-installment?Double Post, but we never care as long as it's relevent. Anyway, the game is called Touhou Hisouten. There isn't an English name available, yet, but if I know my Japanese, then it means: Eastern/Oriental Tragic Heaven or Oriental Heavenly Tragedy Although, the Touhou part of the name is almost never read when reading a Touhou title (otherwise, almsot all the games would start with Eastern/Oriental), so I'm pretty sure it's just Heavenly Tragedy.

Big Bad Pennar Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 XD...... DO WANT!!!!! Even though I have Cirno in my Mugen Game XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larxene Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 EPIC NEWS. A new game was just announced today' date=' only known at the moment as Touhou 12.3 It's another [b']fighting game[/b]. But Cirno is a playable character. HELLZ YES. Oh. My. God.Do want. I just looked it up, Cirno is on the cover. @.@ Anyway, I actually disagree. I think Mokou is easier then Flan. =\ How so? Also, the new game is released ONE DAY after Touhou 12. August 14th and 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larxene Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Well, at least we'll probably find out who's in it pretty shortly~ It's less than a month away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larxene Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I doubt that he'll even release one at all. Especially since the full game is released in less than a month, and it was only announced today. ...although he might just be releasing a demo.

Zexaeon Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 It must be nice being a developer who works almost by himself, and who doesn't care about publicity. xD ZUN can blindside us anytime he wants by randomly announcing a game. Hell, he could announce it 2 days prior to the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larxene Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Or he could just release it unannounced. xD That's kinda what he did with StB I think. It came with one of his books, and I don't think the game was ever really announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexaeon Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Lol, I've always wanted to do that. Like, be a developer at Square Enix or something, and then one day, just quietly release a game with no prior announcement. And it turns out to be the best game EVAR. xD 'Course, I'm no developer and never will be. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larxene Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I have no real desire to make anything big of myself. I just want a job I can live off of, and that's it. xD Maybe learn a bit of programming, just so I can make some games of my own to entertain myself with~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larxene Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 The character art of Cirno, Sanae, and Meiling looks pretty good in the new game btw. =o As always, it isn't drawn by ZUN. But it looks better than the artwork in SWR~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexaeon Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Link meh? Seriously, why doesn't ZUN just get those guys to do the artwork for all his games? >.>;; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zexaeon Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Yeeeeees ~ Meiling pretty much looks like she did in IaMP, with a few touch-ups done. Cirno and Sanae look epic. I wanna see everyone else's new Art now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zexaeon Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 xD I always liked Mima. But I just finished reading the scripts for all five of the PC-98 games, and I really, really, really like her now. She's a charming character. Besides, Kanako was only occupying some of my obsession. =3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexaeon Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Alright! After reading through all the PC-98 Game Scripts and carefully looking over every character, I have come to the following conclusion: The only Characters out of the first five games, aside from the obvious Reimu and Marisa, who deserve to be seen again are (in order of appearance) Mima, Chiyuri Kitashirakawa, Yumemi Okazaki, Yuka Kazami, and Alice Margatroid. Yuka and Alice have both already gotten to have reappearances. Yumemi is probably going to be in UFO, and if she is, she'll likely be accompanied by her assistant Chiyuri. So that just leaves poor Mima. Buuuuut, if Yumemi IS in UFO, Mima might just get in too, since Mima directly involved with Yumemi's plot in Touhou 3. Anyway ~ Every other PC-98 character has any of the following reasons (or even a combination of them) NOT to be in a future Touhou game. A) They have NO CHARACTER. Literally, some of them didn't say two words to Reimu/Marisa, and only existed to fight.B) They have characters, but they are underexplored, bland, and uninteresting. This is painfully the case with every character in Touhou 3, other than Reimu, Marisa, Mima, Chiyuri, and Yumemi.C) They exist as a "prototype". For example, in Touhou 5, Shinki and her maid Yumeko were great characters, and under normal circumstances, would definitely deserve a comeback. The only real problem is that Shinki and Yumeko are basically a Mirror friggin image of Remilia and Sakuya.Likewise, Orange looks almost exactly like Meiling, and has a similar personality, while Elly (Yuka's Guard) also has a Meiling-like personality, and even sucks at her job. So yeah, the few other good characters basically exist already as different characters in newer games. But, since Yuka did make a reappearance, it's maybe a little possible that Elly might appear in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larxene Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 And other than the 7 obvious PC-98 characters that you listed, none of the others are very popular anyway. Other than Shinki and Elly, who are fairly well known. Also, I find it kinda funny that the extra bosses of Touhou 4 have NOTHING to do with ANYTHING. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zexaeon Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 ^^ I'm all for it. xP And yes, Lar, that's right. For some reason though, Mugetsu and Gengetsu are kinda popular. ._. I honestly don't know why, given their barely tangible personalities and lack of any importance whatsoever. But yeah, I like Elly. I just doubt she'd show up because she's too similar to Meiling, but it IS possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
