THE Mr. DudeBroGuy

While I doubt this was one of his alts, it did remind me some people online are just miserable and force themselves to engage with media they clearly weren’t gonna enjoy (for context he’s on Normal+ for the gameplay complaint btw)

One infamous case used to be the secondary requirement to unlock Akyu by getting her a kill on intermission 1. It was added to the Switch version (so 2022) as to not make her Reimu route exclusive. Yet only got added to the flowchart and secret pages December that just past? Wasn’t there in October

It is one of those few strange “it’s in the code but not documented” cases that are here and there on the game’s Akurasu page sadly.

The reason Armour and HP aren't seen as good (in their opinion) is that genuinely keeping someone alive is pretty easy. And more importantly, Armour has very steep diminishing returns.

Negate Barrier is low on their priority cause the logic is (if not getting hit, why invest in it)

Huh, lol, yet another funny case of just how flexible and balanced this game is to cause such widely differing opinions.

The general community tends to agree +1 Move is logically the best the majority of the time

Why is she like this, genuinely

Also Okuu, writing in Eternal was already Grade A stuff and she was already very high up on my favs list of Touhou characters... but man, MAN. What she has to say at the end of 76 has legit stuck with me forever. Words I hold dear as why she's my all time favorite as is this game for Touhou fangames

My favourite detail Mehko actually losing all her default and personal skills come using the Dream power, yet another case of the games excellent storytelling through gameplay.
Her Wool Guard and Power themed gimmicks all gone in favour for replicating what Yatagarasu did when cornered.

This is one of the points I meant by the last 2 maps' bosses aren't nearly as challenging gameplay wise and are more story thematic. The entirety of Despair Mehko is meant to be a purposeful mirroring of Eternal's Final boss. But with Mehko actively forcing this on herself, It's chefs kiss

The best way to understand what kind of game this is would be to check out the many reviews gathered from around the world. Please take a look.
It's truly a game I love. If you're interested, I'd be thrilled if you gave it a try.

Very much agree with them, 75 feels like a better culmination of everything you've learnt when fighting bosses in this game. A final test if you would.

The last 2 I won't say anything about why they are victory laps gameplay wise, but just know 75 is agreed apon unanimously to be harder than both

Think this is my third time having to post my feelings on 75 lol, still feel this way even after first experiencing what happens almost 9 years ago

Never mentioned it but 73 LTC is so funny (as is much of late game due to the sheer amount of resources you have, but 73 in particular cracks me up)

You just turn stall the intro till everyone arrives and Rally Spam > Bum Rush both main Nightmares and it's over in like 10-15 minutes tops

sadly can confirm Rumia and Cirno not getting the attack is a resent bug from the January 30th patch, they will actually get the attack in their weapon selections once you beat the chapter.

Having seen the many bugs that have plagued this game(s) over 15+ years all I can say is.... "shit happens"

I feel bad for Okuu's default theme lol... cause I'm replacing that shit with "SKYGAZER" FRAME 1 every playthrough

Recording footage for the next Fantasy Maiden Wars compilation Video I'm working on and and I forgot Eirin's Blocking/Barrier was straight up just an A.T Field from EVA

I do wanna just say I really hope non of my comments came off sounding elitist (and if they did that wasn't my intention). Its just rare to get to share my personal feelings on how I felt playing the game and my impressions on characters, and I love hearing people find uses for character I wrote off

If anything, this just goes to show how truly well balanced the roster actually is and that every character is to some degree viable depending on playstyle. A huge majority of people usually agree Kanao is the least good 3.5, so it's nice to see someone find use for her

Doesn't help the consistency between the 3.0's and 3.5's is very off to further your point. Why does Ran get one Item Slot (and the only 3.0 at that) to Yuyuko's 2 (the only 3.5 with 2 Item slots)

Poor Kanako, built up lore wise, just to be entirely out classed by even pure utility 2.0 units

Eirin's so funny to me, she's defacto a better healer than Dai & Lily... but she costs the same as both combined. She can fight better... but is the worst form of offensive unit, a sniper. All her PS's aside the full heal are omega gimmicky (fun but not really Luna Viable long term)
She's confusing

A blessing in disguise given shes probably a way better backpack than frontliner (4 move is yikes even with her range) and gets the most of the hidden Assist boost (it's never stated but thx to those who have checked the ingame code, the higher the Unit's cost, the higher their Assist attacks scale)

Thanks, Been following this game since it's separate original doujin releases from 2010-2017. It was the game the really sold me on Touhou's world and characters and made me appreciate the STGs even more... so yeah to say this game means a lot is an understatement.

Have fun and hope you enjoy it!

done and done

Perfect, alrighty then, just link me your Steam account and you'll see one of the best Touhou fan games in your Library right away

I am serious, but before I ask for your account to friend and gift, I do have to know your general currency

can't gift games if they'd cost a 10% difference between both parties price wise

Did someone say "I can't afford FMW"

I know what I must do

Most likely due to Dream throwing the entire kitchen sink at you on Luna so they started overtuning characters that join come the final 4th

(Hilariously the problem's reversed on lower difficulties since everyone is Viable, Dream characters join so late you prob have no space/time to test them out)

Man... seeing this reminded me how much of a bitter pill it was to swallow that on NG Lunatic, so much of Mystic and Eternity's rosters are just "Opps all B tier" in the fact they... function... but you'd rather wise you just had more on par with your A game characters

Its clearly intentional given 68 maxes out Byakuren at map start. On the lower difficulties it is genuinely a good showcase to the player of her sheer potential as a powerhouse.

But for Luna, it's grim reminder to the player they need alternatives to build power or they are FUCKED going forward

Yeah, The triple gut punch of 68, 69, 70 back to back on Luna (especially on a raw NG save) is diabolical... and yet somehow... "Sanbando made a pact with the idea of evil itself" is tame in comparison the universally most hated map by the community on Lunatic
