I dig it so much. I wish it hadn't taken me so long to check this stuff out. I'm really enjoying IN and the setting just conveys such a unique brand of insanity.

I really hope you played as Magic Team, because Marisa gets the best line in the game in stage 4. :allears:

The key to beating Astrological Entombing is to focus on destroying the familiars. Once you take down the majority of them the spell becomes much less of a mess, and in fact it's one of the (vanishingly few) times Magic Team is straight up the best option.

:stare:

I kind of just assumed all of the final boss familiars were nigh-invulnerable, I guess, because this never occurred to me. That's gonna make that fight a hell of a lot easier.

Re: music chat: I really wish there were more arranges of DDC music. I've pretty much only been able to find one arrange each of Illusionary Shamisen Recital/Reverse Ideology/Little Princess, and they're okay, but not great. I do enjoy this guy's Reverse Ideology piano arrange, though!

Touhou is pretty light on the text, isn't it?

Considering you've usually got at least 6 scenarios with different text...probably still more so than other games, yeah, but there's still plenty to localize.

And remember that there's 9 Windows games. :v: e: Plus the photography games, fighting games, and possibly the PC-98 games.

DCC is fun. I don't mind Seija's gimmick. I don't mind Kagerou's curtain fire. I do however have a tough time dealing with the Tsukumos.

Notes in your face! Panic and BOMB BOMB BOMB. Every time.

Yeah, I don't have too much trouble with Seija's gimmick but the Tsukumos and Shinmyoumaru just destroy me.

Also I didn't know that meme existed so I figured it was a pun on the past-tense of fill. :v:

Seija tricks Shinmyoumaru into unleashing the power of an ancient artifact, which grants the Tsukumos/Raiko life, riles up the other youkai and turns the protagonists' weapons into tsukumogami. The goal of this is to trigger an uprising of the weaker youkai to overthrow the stronger ones. Protagonists fly around beating up the rampaging youkai as usual.

The focused shot does a bit more damage than the unfocused shot, enough that I shaved off two or so seconds per pattern on mid-boss Sekibanki. It's not such a substantial increase in damage, but spread shots and homing shots are always weaker than narrow shots.

You can also cheese it and tap shift so that you release a few amulets without resetting the gohei. It's not a lot of extra damage, but it helps.

It's not really a game, more like a visual novel. Long "story" segments punctuated by bizarre puzzles that only exist to serve the story segments. And the characters aren't really Touhou characters but merely based on them. And it's all translated into some weird chatspeak thing.

So, uh, I can't really give an unqualified recommendation. But I liked it.

It's based on Homestuck, for anyone who hasn't played it but was thinking about it. The puzzle sections won't make any sense unless you've read through that and a lot of the jokes are very Homestuck-y.

The real killer on Kanako I think is the bomb immunity on Virtue of Wind God; you can bomb through all of her other spells just fine and then completely eat poo poo because if you have to bomb at all, ever, you're robbing yourself of damage while an already super tough spell slowly gains speed.

I personally find Sanae harder than any of the rest of Kanako's fight. :shobon:
