Touhou 17 prediction: It's gonna turn out the animal spirits didn't affect the main characters personalities.

Seems unlikely given how out of character some of the goast types are.

Kinda wonder if the final boss will pull an Okina and have a unique spellcard depending on your shot type, what with the hints that the animal possessing the player isn't on the up-and-up.

Maybe this was already clear earlier and I just missed it, but apparently the Touhou mobile game that ZUN approved of (Touhou Cannonball) is a gacha game of some kind. One of the pre-registration goals is giving out a "gacha ticket for a guaranteed 4 star or higher" as the reward. Marisa and Reimu (who both seem to be 4*) are also being given out as rewards.

If you haven't been following this game, it's a fairly high budget thing with 3D attack animations and voice acting. So... Touhou is gacha now.

They don't want your dollars anyway because no way is this going to get a global release. Only cold hard yen accepted.

That hasn't stopped me from paying Sega money for PSO2. Life... finds a way.

(Which is a gacha game too now that I think about it)

I have appreciated gacha games in the past but there's never been one attached to a series I've cared about, until now I guess.

But I also have 0 gambling inclinations, and I know there are plenty of people out there who fall victim to the kind of psychology that these games employ so I'm not exactly thrilled about it, conceptually. But I'll play it.

Technically we don't know anything about their monetization, only that there is some kind of gacha system in the game. Maybe you can't buy more pulls and only earn them in-game. /shrug

The closest acceptable translation is
"die properly"
All characters will be available in all rarities, along with ways to upgrade the rarities of characters you already have, so it hopefully won't be that exploitative.

Thats fair enough. For the record I don't expect it to be hyper-exploitative on the scale of some other high-profile gacha games or western mobile games, but watch out. Michael Transactions is everywhere.

It's true that I do seem to be remembering some posts summarizing the fall reitaisai talks about this game tat say there will be no gacha.

I sure hope you're right. It does seem way out of character for him, and directly opposed to things he's said recently.

In that case, I don't understand how they're planning to pay for it, though. Nonrandomised content packs?

Yeah, if the game doesn't go all-in on microtransactions then it's all fine by me

Also I'm not usually into buying multiple copies of the same game for different platforms, but if TasoFro can figure out how to actually do netplay for the Switch release I might just to play all y'all motherfuckers. Assuming it can be bought on non-Japanese Switches and they don't just limit it to the Japanese market to avoid the netplay issue altogether.

The switch isn't region locked, so you can run anything on it regardless of where it's released.

Oh, that's neat then. Maybe it is finally time for Antinomy of Common Flower but with actual netplay.
