There's a semi-formal rule among the Japanese Touhou fanbase: post as much gameplay footage as you like, but never post or seek out footage of the endings. So for anyone who knows an ending, you know they earned that poo poo. Or something. This was the reason for all the jokey censored ending footage in the last thread. Someone shout at me if I'm misrepresenting poo poo.

To elaborate on this, it is a request of ZUN's that nobody post the endings, presumably because of the whole aforementioned "earned it" thing.

It makes no sense for Marisa to be participating in a religious conflict either, though.

Marisa's alluded to liking the idea of immortality before. Maybe she thinks she'll get something out of Miko.

She's a Shintoist. Not a very devout one, especially compared to Sanae, but that doesn't mean she isn't one. See: her clothes, her position, and her powers.

And her shrine does have a god, she just doesn't know its name. Or give a drat about it. It is apparently annoyed at this, but seeing how she hasn't been evicted after 13 games of neglect it probably doesn't care that much.

For all we know, it might not even exist anymore. After all, vampires and the like can visit the shrine with no problem.

Okay come on guys, it's not that hard to just check up on stuff before you post it.

Sorry, my mistake.

And yeah, to be fair, black-haired Touhous are astoundingly rare, considered. There's Reimu, Kaguya, and.......

Utsuho, Aya, Nue, Tewi, and Renko.

e: Oh, and Murasa.

So for anyone else who's played so far, does the bombing somehow feel delayed or off at all? because it's really been messing me up and I'm not sure what the deal is.

I've been pulling off deathbombs with some regularity, so I haven't noticed anything off about the timing.

Less Western-origin youkai in this game than I was expecting/hoping for, and the cursed weapons thing turned out to be a red herring, apparently.

This annoys me.

(On the other hand, dat EX-boss.)

Well, the cursed weapons did make the three kind of crazy. Especially Sakuya.

I thought an extra stage's difficulty was the same as lunatic.

Not even close. Otherwise Phantasm would just be a curtain of bullets. Really, it varies, but it's mostly above-Normal, maybe just above-Hard in a pinch.

Are you sure about that? Doesn't that already have a localization by Xseed?

They're working on Second Chapter. Trails in the Sky is a trilogy.

Keep in mind that Touhou Lunatic is roughly equivalent to Espgaluda/Deathsmiles Easy, more or less.

I'd have to argue this point, at least for EspGaluda. If anything, it's closer to Hard. It's by far CAVE's easiest game.

Yeah, Maya's just a spirit medium, although some shrine maidens do show up in the final case of AA3.

As I recall, that boss was totally beatable until the devs kept patching all the ways players found to beat it.

Well, it wasn't supposed to be. It actually didn't even have a loot table until a group killed it for the first time and SE realised "Oh right, people are actually going to try to kill this thing."

What beat Septette?

If it's Hartmann's Youkai Girl, because of the Koishi association i'm going to be so mad.

The poll has been put up on the wiki and i'm finally taking a look at it, and the thing i'm most surprised by is Renko somehow making it to 22nd place. I didn't think that most touhou fans were all that aware of the sealing club, since they're not in any of the games or mangas. Not that i'm upset because she's cool, but I was really surprised to see her up so high.

Pretty much every character associated with ULiL went up (except Nitori, for whatever reason), and Sumireko is pretty popular for a new character herself, so.

Well, that's definitely an interesting choice of danmaku. I wanna know just what ZUN was drinking this time round.
