宇佐見 蓮子@C94 Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 [spoiler=ZUN's blog post, translated. Courtesy of somebody over at Shrine Maiden.org] The game to be released on 5/26 is the following. Touhou Project 14 The playable demo for "Touhou Kishinjou ~ Double Dealing Character" will be released. As usual, it'll be playable up to stage 3. The theme I went for this time was "Neither novel or retro, a 2000's neo-retro danmaku shooter". So basically it's the usual where I went for a simple to enjoy game, but I tried removing a lot of the complicated game mechanics. The general synopsis is as follows: Reimu, Marisa, and Sakuya's individual weapons have suddenly started acting on their own. On top of that, the Youkai who are usually quiet and subdued have suddenly started rebelling. Will the three oppose their own weapons or abandon them? And that's the lowdown of the story. Anyway, the three playable characters will be Reimu, Marisa, and Sakuya. *Screenshots are a work in progress and are liable to change at any time. Wow, time flies by! This is the 14 installment in the main line of games, though I guess it's like 21 if we include the side-games as well. This time, I've doubled the resolution of the game. However, I haven't increased the game window size. That being said, players can continue playing with the familiar window size but with higher game resolution. If you own a respectable computer, you should be able to play at 1280x960. The disk will cost 300 yen. If you are attending Reitaisai, please feel free to drop by the "Shanghai Alice Gakuendan" booth. Oh, and if you're wondering the other title will be available at the Twilight Frontier's booth. Touhou Project 13.5 "Touhou Shinkirou ~ Hopeless Masquerade" But of course, do drop by my booth as well! [/spoiler] Ho-ly sh*t. Talk about awesome. Obviously so many people are getting hyped by Sakuya being playable again, but I'm more hyped to see the final boss of it. Judging by the plot of "Youkai Rebellion", can we expect to see Mima-*shot*. Also, at first I was really surprised by the title screen, more specifically, the reflection on it. When I first saw it, the reflection looked like PC-98 Reimu because of the longer skirt and the fact that the shadow made the hair look blue-y purple. But no, it's apparently just Reimu's reflection. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sage Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Wonder if there will be a gimmick revolving around that storyline and how it would play out… Also, no fourth character in sight. Too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Fascist Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 I like the sound of it thus far. It won't top PCB or IN, though imo. Wait, 300 Yen for the demo disk or the full game? With the name, I'm kind of hoping you pick two characters and switch between them, that or I just really liked the team system, but then again IN is pretty much the best TH game, so I understand why.

a bad post Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Yay! Also I really hope its the full game, and not just a demo for 300 yen... I wonder if they'll introduce a new character for the final boss, or just use a pre-existing one, either way I'm excited to play this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Not sure why I'm commenting here, but: [quote]The game to be released on 5/26 is the following. ...

EmpoleMew Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I'm kinda hoping for Patchy and Yuuka to show up and punish Marisa for stealing their moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Fascist Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I'm kinda hoping for Patchy and Yuuka to show up and punish Marisa for stealing their moves. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=4wCds84wOSg#t=134s Also, I kinda want Orin or Okuu back, even though it has more chance of happening in a fighter than anything else.

Northern Sage Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Cirno is the first midboss, we have 3 new characters, including the one we thought was Orin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sage Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 More observations: ZUN's comments for the music talked about a worshipped deity in the Bamboo Forest, but it couldn't be Mokou, could it? Maybe somebody new from the moon. Speaking of IN, the stage 3 boss was rather reminiscent of Keine. The title translates to "Bright Needle Fortress", I wonder what that could be about.

宇佐見 蓮子@C94 Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 You know how the western fandom always makes jokes about the Scarlet Sisters being better than any other vampire from any universe ever, most particularly Edward from Twilight? Well, I think the same will happen for Kagerou (The Stage 3 Boss of DDC) and that homosexual werewolf Jacob from Twilight. It's just begging to happen. Also, Sekibanki x Kogasa OTP. No particular reason, but they just seem to work well with each other =3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
