Anyone have the trial for AoCF?
>>16979644fippy bippy
>>16979694thanks
game is running extremely fast for some reason. any vsync patch or anything?
>>16979660Holy fuck that's big
The music doesn't fuck around. I love it!
>>16979694Game keeps siezuring out on me. What do?
>>16979660She has boobsTouhou is dead
>>16979764She's literally a hag so it makes sense
>>16979694Can't get it to work for some reason. Says some .dll file is missing.
>>16979649Okay, this is some butterfly elf fairy thingy.>>16979660This is crazy knife bitch>>16979664This is an Oni with cloud hair.
Etarnity Larva (Butterfly Youkai near the shrine)Sakata Nemuno (Mountain Witch who transcends this fleeting world)Komano Aunn (Guardian Beast who adores Gods and Buddhas)
The visual effect of the collectible seasonal symbols is pretty neat. I'm feeling pretty tired, but I had a problem with purposely dodging Marisa's ice flakes. Aya's are quite obvious thankfully.
>>16979694Maybe I'm stupid but I've downloaded this file like 3 times and I can't find it anywhere in my downloads folder. Do I not have MEGA set up right
>>16979649>>16979660>>16979664ZUN is a footfag, there's no other way to explain all these barefoot 2hus recently.

>>16979797>Etarnity Thanks ZUN
>>16979664cunt
>>16979797Komano must like going to Myouren Temple eh.
the music for this one seems to have chiptune sounds, I love it
>>16979797>KomanoIs she related to the Dream World?Her stage had several dream world fairies.
Dunno if its just me but spell cards seem really hard to capture. Not avoid or anything just capturing within the time limit even if shooting the boss all the time.
this game sucks ass lol
I'm having trouble running the game after downloading it from the megalink. The screen keeps flickering from black back to my regular computer screen

Rate newhus:Butterfly > lion statue > cave womanBetter than demo characters from LoLK, but weaker than DDC.
someone translate the shot descriptions pls
Can't seem to get the game to work. Crashes immediately and gives me some error full of gibberish where the only english words are "DirectInput", "60hz" and "Direct3D"

The music is good. Best since TD, we'll have to see how the rest of it is.
>Boss 2: Nemuno Sakata>Power to consecrate ground.>Lives in youkai mountain. Hags are a solitary race that rarely interact even with each other, so naturally they don't talk to others much either. However, when they do interact with others they're extremely businesslike. They have an agreement with the tengu to give them their own space and leave them alone. It's often thought that people who disappear on the mountain were eaten by hags, but they actually send back the adults and adopt and raise the children. The reason is unknown.>She herself has no interest in the world around her, and Gensokyo has very little information on this uncivilized land.>but they actually send back the adults and adopt and raise the children.

>>16979858local set to japan?
Aya confirmed for modest chest.
Kumano has the best boss theme of the three of them.
>>16979975damn
>>16979998indeed
>>16979973just confirm stage 3 boss (the last song) is "A Pair of Divine Beasts" please
>>16979966Nah not on lunatic. There's a delay between your first C disappearing and when you can fire your second C. You can definitely spam it underneath the bosses though. ZUN needs to nerf this otherwise plain 1cc's are a joke.
I can't get the music out with brightmoon
I miss Doremy already.these spells were like the bullets were trying to evade me. I guess they're better on higher diff.
>>16979979I can't wait for the doujins.
is there a stream of the demo?
how the fuck do i get more heart pieces
ETARNITY IS CUTESO FUCKING CUTEHOLY SHITI wish I could read Kanji...I would like to know her dialouge
>>16979998where are the wings?
>>16980027>>16979694Games are meant to be played, not watched.
>>16980028It's based on your score again. Thank fucking god.
>>16980034Her dialogue with Cirno is very cute; I've only been learning for a little while and I could understand it
>>16980038Just wait till ZUN changes it for the worse again.
>>16980040Well, that's fucking great and I'm happy for you.But I can't. And that was an indirect plead for help.
I cannot seem it to run due to a DirectX problem, what do?
So how exactly does the game gimmick work? I can't read but through experimentation you can mix and match?
>>16980001main menu music catchy af
There's too many resources in this game. You can easily end stage 3 with 6 lives and bombs. I wouldn't be surprised if you could have max resources during stage 4.
>>16979664Shisa-chan is adorable. She gives me a very retro feeling.
>>16979973>桜舞い散る天空The Heaven Where Cherry Blossom Rains>希望の星は青霄に昇るAgreed>頁夏の妖精の夢Agreed
>>16979797What in Etarnation
Etarnity is a Papilio zelicaon, right?Her wings seem to be the same as a common swallowtail.
>>16980035she brings them out when she feels like it (novel covers, artbooks) and at no other time.
Is there any point to releasing besides having another bomb?
i translated the rest of the music titles once again dont quote me i dont even know if someones already done this i dont care hereNo. 4 色無き風は妖怪の山にNo. 4 The Colorless Wind on Youkai MountainNo. 5 山奥のエンカウンターNo. 5 Encounter Deep in the MountainsNo. 6 桜色の海の泳いでNo. 6 Swimming in the Sakura-colored SeaNo. 7 一対の神獣No. 7 A Pair of Divine Beasts
>>16980055shit youre right about the first one thanks im fucking stupid
>>16980064A pair of divine breasts
>>16980049You choose a character (each has a set primary shot type), then a secondary option type. In game, power items increase your primary options as normal, while the game-specific items ("seasonal points" or whatever) increases the secondary options. There's also a C-button mechanic that uses the secondary options for mini-bombs.
>>16980048>>16980048>>16980048help
For some reason the game window size is weird for me (it's bigger than TH14/15). Anyone else got the same issue?
>>16980072I'm still hungover, but also it's "Midsummer Fairy's Dream."
NeatLen'en 5 is out!
>>16980086That's what I thought but I didn't realize the petals enhanced your secondary shot type. I had assumed it was purely for that mini-bomb effect.Thanks, anon.
>>16979797Yamabiko scum has a friend!
Music rips where(or how do I make it)
>>16980098i debated on that and what i wrote but i thought that sounded a bit weird in comparison
>>16980112This, I need to transcribe the stage 1 theme
Are there fanart for the hag and the qt yet?
>>16979694Is the winter effect supposed to have a slowdown, or is this just WINE being WINE?Otherwise it works with no issue
>>16980112stereo mix you fool
>>16979660I like her sex hair
>>16980112>>16980120thbgmextractor and be on the lookout for titles_th16tr.txt or something like it
>>16980112Music Room -> Audacity -> Stereo Mix
What is this game's gimmick/mechanic?
>>16980165see>>16980086
Proposed improvements:-buff Cirno: reduce spread and increase damage-nerf Reimu's damage a little bit. Homing feels too strong in this game-nerf autumn option: reduce gauge gain by about 30%-activating C should nullify spellcard bonus-remove the extra life at 5 million points-grazing should add to PIVThoughts? I don't expect ZUN to ever see these, but a few of these, especially the spellcard bonus one, actually need to happen.
art is still as uncanny as ever
>>16980177Marisa just looks like shit compared to the others.
>>16980172The release is the main scoring mechanic though. It would be contradictory for it to remove the spellcard bonus upon using it.
>>16980177I don't get why the bosses look fine but the player characters almost look like they have a yukkuri for a head.
Oi, let's genocide fairies and bugs at the same time.That's a fukkn win win situation
>>16980177It's weird, it's like her hair is overlayed over her face but with no shading to make it look normal. Like he forgot a step or something.
NO FUCKINGWAY
>>16980194You're bullshitting me. Post source now.
>>16980191I don't think we would notice any of that if her head weren't just a wide blob crookedly laid on top of her torso
>>16980182What about borders in PCB? Trance in TD? Those were key to scoring in their respective games and also nullified spell bonus. If you want to talk contradictions, this is the bigger one.
>>16980194Would buy but can't collect them all due to their rolling system. So I'm settling for what I already started and that's fumos.
>>16980195Nigger, I only browse 2ch. They didn't drop a sauce yet.
Tanned Cirno!
fucking wavy lasers jesus christalso Stage 3 theme is pretty good, Stage 1 sounds like ass though
>>16979998Cute fairy.
>>16980202Borders don't cancel the bonus though? I'll give you the trance though. It was never really a good gimmick to begin with.
>>16979649>>16979664A new game a new series of silly poses, nice. Butterfly pose looks like she's having lots of fun.
>>16980177It's part of the charm
>>16980169My bad. Missed it scrolling through the thread the first time.
>>16980212Borders breaking I mean.
Both the stage 1 songs are really nice.
Anybody with any knowledge of score hacking in cheat engine able to find out all the life extend breakpoints?
>>16980185That fairy smells like shit anyway.
>>16980210Ptsd
Could someone make music rips and upload them, I don't know how to use a computer
>>16980195its posted on goodsmile facebook page
>>16980138>>16980158Please God No. Recording the Stereo Out will add in possible interference and the OS's various sound configurations. It's Youtube tier. >>16980143ThisYes, it's more work, but you are actually working with the actual music files, and not a recording of it.
BEST MUSI CNOW
>>16980240calm the fuck down buddy its called turning off notification sounds and its gonna sound exactly as theyre already hearing it who cares
how does this game run on wine? do I need to download extra modules?
Is it just me or is this one of the easiest games so far?
i translated the history02. HistoryA cherry blossoming at Hakurei shrine. It's the beauty that would normally have been done even at one of the banquets. But this year it is different. I can't see anyone Marisa: It's hot Reimu: What's wrong with that? Marisa: The Magical Forest was SnowingMarisa was looking like a midwinter. Reimu: I wonder if we are going to hold even cherry blossoms even though they are springing like this Marisa: That is good, but only cherry blossoms are blooming. I wonder if it is sunny. ???: Oh, the cherry blossoms are in bloom....?What appeared was Tengu's newspaper reporter, It was... Shameimaru Aya. Aya: I have heard that cherry blossoms may bloom even in autumn when warm days continue after chilling once...... Reimu: I do not know the cause, but for the time being this kind of feeling. It's not just cherry blossoms, it's growing wild Aya: Hmmm ... Oh, I remembered urgent business so I will go home.Aya came home with pleasure. Marisa: What's up with her, Why did she come here for? Reimu: It is very abnormal weather here. It is not just a natural phenomenon. As Tengu is exploring, this is a strange thing. When Reimu acted, Gensokyo was already showing coloring every season. On the calendar is a story of midsummer.
>>16980088Type "$ wine ~/th16tr/th16.exe" into the terminal, it should work.
>>16980253prob easier than 15, which ZUN said he wanted to make harder than usual
>>16980257the terminal? sorry I'm a potato
He's still got it.
This game is so shit. DDC was a step in the right direction and ZUN has abandoned people who actually like most of his games.
>>16980254>Aya came home with pleasureOh come the fuck on.
>>16980246>gonna sound exactly as theyre already hearing it who caresAudio mixers and the like, like myself. It's the case that I have had to use thbgmextractor personally, because the samples I was mixing had a bunch of sibilance that was noticeable even after light modification of the sound
>>16980260Well yeah obviously, but I see people saying TH7 is the easiest one, and this seems a LOT easier than that one.
>>16980254This is just scarlet weather rhapsody
>>16980263Poor Heca-chan.
What is this one's gimmick?Is it good?
>>16980253There's always the possibility that there's gonna be a huge difficulty spike on Stages 4-6.
More stuff from Reitaisai
>>16980268>but I see people saying TH7 is the easiest one??TH7 is harder than most entries, even on Easy, TH8 is the extremely easy one.
Dodge these pink kunai but also collect these pink flower petals of the same shape and sizeWhy?
>>16980272Scroll up
>>16980254>Aya came home with pleasure.Aya hastily returned home.Come on son
>>16979664so 'Sheep" escaped from Saki, and got herself a better paying gig?
>>16980253Well, he did say this was gonna be simpler, It's the difficulty reset he does every so often like TD. After a rally hard game he drops it back down to easy difficulty.
>>16980275Who the heck is it?
>>16980228Given that Komanu lives Buddhas, I wonder if she has any relationship with Shou
>>16980253While it doesn't seem hard, it's definitely not easy. First 3 stages seem above average in difficulty on normal mode. I think ZUN didn't balance stuff like the second boss properly across difficulties
>>16980288Hata no Kokoro
>>16980285UFO gave you a trillion lives or bombs depending on the color things you grab.
>>16980262What WM do you use? You should read the docs to see how to open the terminal emulator. Or if you're using a DE it should be in the main menu.
>>16980253Yeah, I could even finish Lunatic with only 1 continue (because I couldn't even panicbomb) and got a 1cc on hard already with most spellcards captured and almost got a Normal NMNB, but the fucking last card ruined it. Guess it's as >>16980285 says.
>>16980290Are you serious. It was stupidly easy.
>>16980268>Th7 begin the easiestYou're funny. Th8 and Th13 are by far the easiest and this is probably gonna join their ranks
>>16980297Windows 7Main language isn't english, so I'm not exactly sure what the terminal is. I would say the command prompt?
>>16980035With Sir James Paul McCartney at last sighting? She was covering a concept concert
>>16980278Nah Touhou 7 is easier than 8 on normal. Touhou 8 only gets the reputation cause of a disproportionately easy easy mode and generous last spell timings. The patterns themselves are on the tougher side on normal
>>16980281ok, is just a little error
>>16980275Hair bow are cute.
>>16980290A lost of games calm down or speed up after the 3 level. DDC and PCB come to mind. SA had a lull in Satori~n before hell and in TD things got relatively easier after the first three stages.
>>16980295My point exactly, while he did it in two games there, but have you forgotten what SA put you through already?
>>16980306TH7 on easy is harder than TH8 on Normal, the only remotely difficult part is Reimu on stage 4.
100% Smug
>>16980303Sorry, I've never heard of that Linux distro. Can't help you. Did you try disabling fullscreen?
>>16979632Just finished hard, missed 3 times since I'm going in dry. Tried all characters, but have yet to try their "season gimmick."I have to say it, but this doesn't feel harder than Satori, not even as tough as Nitori.
>>16980321I'm cool. Oku wasn't something to write home about and Satori was pretty easy for the most part.
>>16980100too much greenedgy vibesit all makes sense now
>>16980177>drawings*Art is a completely different thinganon primitive as always...
>>16980266With pleasure
>>16980089Oh wait the issue seems to have fixed itself. No idea what went wrong the first time
>>16980088install directx
>>16980310It's just Kokoro's fox mask.
Whats the gimmick to the last spellcard? I can NMNB reliably except for this spell
>>16980323I am not good with Kaguya or Erin but I do agree with this. Stage 4 was soft but stage 5 and 6 in PCB were solid.I am a shitter though, I am not good with Kanako or Shinmyoumaru.
>>16980335This is the error. I disabled the fullscreen, but it still appears no matter what.>inb4 Aceptar
How much of a difference would you guys say the season choice makes for each character? I feel like I'm making it out to be a bigger deal than it should be in character select
>>16980323Are you honestly going to try saying with a straight face that Reisen and Kaguya gave you a tougher time that Youmu and Yuyuko?
>>16980310It's Kokoro. The "bow" is just her fox mask.
I like the gameplay and the gimmickI hate the characters and the stagesI wanna go back to 2013
>>16980361No, I'm saying the exact opposite.
So guys, Doremi is the hardest stage 3 boss, right?
>>16980355you gotta go back pendejoi had the same problem with th15 i didn't manage to fix it
>>16980368who?
>>16980377Very beautiful
Winter increases spread and fall does homing right? whats unique about spring and summer?
>>16980377YES PLEASE
>>16980368Doremi is a shitty Chinese>English fansub group from a decade ago. How are they relevant here?
>>16980368Yes.
>>169802221st life is at 5 mill2nd is at 25 millStage 3 Daiyousei dropped one.
>>16980368No.
>>16980361Only part of Youmu that was hard was her non-spell cards and Yuyuko only had hard cards if you skirted the bottom. >>16980368Yes, if you mean Doremy. Followed by Yuugi, Yoshika, and Kagerou.
>>16980377>Still unpainted Fuck you QuesQ I already saw this why are you so slow
>>16980366Ilike the gameplay, the gimmick, the characters, and the stages! Touhou is alright, yeah, it's alright.
>>16980391>"difficult yoshika"
>>16980393>>16980387See >>16980394
>>16980337Eh, almost similar case with me. My biggest gripe was that Rin can go die in a fire and I haven't had more attempts at an Extra stage than ANY other Touhou game
Now this one ... OH BOI
Explain to me why Reimu + Fall is overpoweredIt doesn't seem like it to me
>>16980034Best new 2hu so far
>>16980366>2015>Jesus Christ, it was 2 years ago?!>Reisen *is* human>>2017>Cirno doesn't melt if exposed to intense heat, gets tan insteadWhat's next?
>>16980404The fall release is just really strong in general.
>>16980398Everything will be fine anon, just close your eyes and think of all the good times
Hardest bosses by stage (no LoLK)1. Yamame2. Kyouko3. Yuugi4. Marisa/Reimu5. Rin6. Byakuren
>>16980410tanned remilia
>>16980402>punished
>>16980391Yoshika? You're funny. Yuugi on top hands down but I'd tie Doremy with Kagerou if not scoot her a little ahead of the wolf
>>16980416Marisa's easier than Reimu.
Give me your new smugs!
>>16980417I wish this was true so that many of us would schedule a mass suicide already.
>>16980425Me irl
>>16980361Youmu is harder than Reisen by Kaguya/Eirin are harder than Yuyuko. Reimu/Marisa are harder than the Prismrivers
>>16980423I find Marisa far harder.
Someone explain to me how does Winter release works.Why does Marisa get red afterimages?
So, does this game have four shottypes or sixteen?
>>16980425s c r e a m i n g
>>16980430I still don't know the hitbox of those stars even today
>>16980428Everything needs to be 5000x5000
>>16980112https://soundcloud.com/search/sounds?q=touhou%2016&filter.created_at=last_day
>>16980434Doesn't it just increase your movespeed slightly
>>169804364 shots, 4 subshots, 16 combinations.
>>16980416I would say Orin or Shou are interchangeable for stage 5.Yuugi definitely the hardest Stage 3 boss.
I think the reason I'm messing up this game is the slow bullets. Keep running into stray stuff.
>>16980437
>>16980449Why would you ever pick that over Autumn if that is the case?
>>16980445
I dont like curved lasers
>>16980416>>16980451Some of these really depend on what difficulty you're playing on (especially if you add in LoLK)
>>16980462I think we've all been through that phase before.
>>16980457I think winter lasts longer in comparison. It also lets you plant directly under a boss and retreat to another area, which you cant do with fall.
Is it just me or is the music simply not as good as DDC's or LoLK's?DDC's and LoLKs both had better Stage 1-3 songs with far better boss themes.I don't hate it or anything, but I remember liking the songs for both already on the first time I heard them.
>>16980434Maybe it increases your damage?
>>16980473I like em a lot more than DDC and LoLK's, especially the latter.
>>16980462Hey, the spinning curved lasers card is the only one I can capture with Junko.
>>16980462It's course and rough and irritating... and it gets everywhere.
>>16980473DDC's music was full of awful synth guitars
>>16980473It's a bit more like TD to me, and I happened to love TD's music.
>>16980473That's what I feel literally every time a new Touhou is released. It will pass.
>>16980416>2. KyoukoWhat the fuck
>>16980464Definitely. I mostly play on Normal and sometimes hard.I found Marisa harder in Normal than in Hard for some reason.Touhou 12 at Hard is a nightmare, Lunatic even more.Touhou 11 has the hardest normal difficulty out of all em not including 15.8 has the easiest normal but Hard difficulty makes the patterns way harder6 and 7 doesn't have hard stage 4 bosses but has a hard stage 4
>>16980473I disagree. I think the music is really good, especially compared to lolk. That game only had a handful of good tracks while most of the new ones are good
>>16980462To this day I can't see curved lasers and not instinctively flinch
>>16980462To be honest, once you get used to the fakeout nature of them they aren't too bad.Even her last spellcard where she makes a clone isn't pretty easy if you just shoot the clone and then focus on her.
WHY IS ETARNITY'S THEME SO GOODHOLY SHIT
Komano is perfect for Hawaii shirts.
>>16980485Guitars were literally the only redeeming thing about DDC music, which is otherwise completely forgettable.DDC stage 6 boss theme in particular get honorable mention as the most generic 2hu boss theme ever.
>>16980488Kyouko is legitimately the second hardest boss in her game. She's out of place.
>>16980462Raiko's curved lasers were fun.
>>16980498>DDC music>Completely forgettable
Honestly I don't really like how synthy Touhou's music has been lately.
>>16980446Thank you
>>16980499Kyouko is easy as fuck.As a boss, I mean.
holy fuck fall release is broken as fuckall you do is use it and run into all the bullets and it refills just enough for you to do it again so you can do it forever
I don't think anyone of you realizes what just happend.Do you? Anyone?Alright, I'll tell you.Pants
>>16980505It's probably different for everybody. I'm bad as fuck at dodging things coming from both sides but most other patterns are really easy.
Etarnity has the same blind spot as cirno in EoSD. Also ZUN has been watching too much Kemono Friends.

>>169804161 & 2: I don't really know since I squashed through them all.3: Yuugi4: Satori5: KIJIN FUCKING SEIJA6: Sukuna
>>16980473I think this put more focus on boss themes rather than stage themes, so I see what you're saying there.LoLK was the inverse. The stage music were good, but the boss themes were mediocre.
>>16979649Nice>>16979660Cut myself on that edge>>16979664Best song, best new character, best fight
>>16980507Mokou now has a pants buddy.
>>16980473It's not really standing out for me so far
Predict their popularityEtarnity > Nemuno > KomamoEtarnity design is by far the best. Plus, Stage 1 Boss moe. She'll be on tons of stuff with Wriggle and maybe Yuuka for sure.Nemuno is /ss/ bait, will have a niche fanbaseKomamo is pretty ugly
Does Lily White get a spell card in her midboss fight? If so, it would be her first.
>>16980408>>16980402How exciting.
>>16980501DDC first stage and boss: shit.second stage: forgettablesecond boss: only interesting because of guitars.third stage: forgettablethrid boss: memorable but only because it's another straight U.N.Owen/Heian Alien ripoff, this time with guitars.fourth stage: kinda okfourth boss: forgettablefifth stage: forgettablefifth boss: shiteverything after that: forgettable.
>>16980361Eirin and Kaguya are definitely harder than Yuyuko, and Marisa/Reimu are harder than the Sisters.Personally I consider PCB a bit easier because the border really helps you out. IN feels easier since you can practice it though.
>>16980498Saying Little Princess is bad is just vintage bait
>>16980526Komamo is fucking cute come here you fucking asshole I swear to god I cut your sorry ass back into the 15th century and let the Ottomans have their fucking way with you
>>16980462It's literally the easiest attack in the game. You barely even have to move>>16980494Pretty sure you're supposed to nuke the clone (preferably with C, because it shits out a ton of items on death) unless you want to dodge two bosses' bullet spam at a time and an extra ring of bullets when the clone expires
>>16980502I feel like ZUN's music has moved away from trying to be a "song" (with a strong melody) to being "variations on a theme", which is why the newer music (TD onwards) generally feels less memorable
>>16980530>everything after that: forgettable.>Pristine Beat>forgettableYou could've just said that you played DDC long time ago and that's why you think DDC music is bad.
>>16980530>third stage: forgettable>fifth stage: forgettable>sixth boss: forgettableI wonder how much bad decisions you've made in life
But what about this?
>>16980535What do you like about her friend? I'll have to admit that I'm biased towards Etarnity because I love both the color green and butterfly motiffs.
>>16980538For an extra boss theme Pristine Beat is vanilla as fuck.
>>16980538Not him, but Pristine Beat felt like wasted potential to me. It doesn't have any more drums than the average Touhou track.
>>16979973>The Fairy's Midsummer Dreamgachi remixes incoming

>>16980537I knew it was something like that, I just couldn't describe it. He should go back to more "traditional" instruments and song styles.

>>16980557reisen, for those who don't have a japanese ps4everyone in ulil + 5 more in the full release
>>16979660hobo sakuya?
>>16980537>>16980561There is a reason why LoLK's stage 5 theme is by far my most favoured theme ever. That last blow is heavenly. Never once I didn't get goosebumps while listening to it.
>>16980537I don't buy it. The only times he pulled "variations on a theme" were the last 2 stage 6 bosses, and it's even worse with how many remixes of the main theme are around across the series' history. And Touhou melodies are incredibly corny as fuck especially when you listen to them 5 years later so I appreciate him toning that shit down.>>16980551shit genres like rock/metal given the electric guitar fetish
>>16980530>DDC first stage and boss: shit.I can give you that, they're definitely the weakest>second stage: forgettableIt's just good>second boss: only interesting because of guitars.I love Banki's theme, definitely the most fun stage 2 theme>third stage: forgettableAre you serious? It was the hypest shit ever and it's a great throwback to IN>thrid boss: memorable but only because it's another straight U.N.Owen/Heian Alien ripoff, this time with guitars.Heh, most of ZUN songs sound like eachotherHe uses the same chord progression for most of them>fourth stage: kinda okI love the beginning, very ominous>fourth boss: forgettableI can give you that>fifth stage: forgettableNow, let's stop for a moment hereAre you seriously telling me, this fucking BEAUTIFUL piece is "forgettable"?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8xtmqN6jpc>fifth boss: shitAre you saying this to compliment Seija?

Sakata is lewd! LEWD!
>>16980531Eh, thinking about it I did Malice cannon my way to victory, so maybe Eirin was easier that she should be, but Kaguya was a joke seconded only to Miko. Between the sisters and Reimu... I don't see it, I can't think of a single thing either of them did to make them more difficult than the other.More than anything I remember struggling with Youmu while while thinking Reisen's gimmick was a joke and having all kinds of trouble with the Extra/Phantasm stage but then get to IN and the only difficult thing there was Kiene's second spell card.
>>16980547You mean INMU right?
>>16980587The man was homeschooled. Please understand.
>>16980551IN (esp. stage 3, boss 4, extra stage & boss), MoF (esp. stage 3, stage 4, boss 5, stage 6, boss 6) and SA (esp. stage 4, stage&boss5, boss 6, stage extra) are the gold standard music-wise. DDC in my opinion has worst music among main titles so far.
>>16980582>>16980588That's my wife. Do not talk badly of her.
Boss themes:Aunn>Nemuno>Etarnity
>>16980597Aunn is the only standout for me, both the fight and the theme
>>16980596Your wife is my mistress, dude.
Little Princess is fucking garbage. I don't know what has to be fucked up in your brain to like that shit or even want to listen to it with any other Touhou music. It's not Touhou music. There's a reason no one does any doujin songs off the DDC soundtrack except the title theme: they're fucking shit.
>>16980596Your wife is a hag
>>16980605
2hu is no longer reclining
>>16980587Not him, but as much I agree with you that St5 and Sukuna's theme is good, Pristine Beat is just a no-no.I think people just like it since it's a "hard boss fight," same like those people who prefer Necrofantasia compared to Necro-Fantasy just because Yukari is harder than Ran.
>>16980597>Etarnity that low. Come on, we all know it's Etarnity>Aunn>Nemuno
>>16980593well that's basically jp gachi but yeah.
>>16980568When did they publish that?I can't seem to find it.I found Goodsmile US but....yeah
>>16980604Wrong.>>16980606I only like older women.
>>16980613The introduction is the best part of Necrofantasia though
>>16979660Yes but where is the hair accessory
>>16980605>no one does any doujin songs off the DDC soundtrack except the title themeBait of Bait ~ Baitful Waterfall
Stage 1 and stage 3 boss have brilliant themes, stage 2's boss theme though I can see getting a lot of metal arrangements.
>>16980613I love the theme because it really feels like a final battle
>>16980612/jp/ is reclining pretty fucking hard though
>>16980616Geezhttps://twitter.com/gsc_kahotan/status/861022775317639169
CONFIRMED VIRGIN
>>16980597Nemuno's theme is fucking scary.
>>16980547Why the fuck did you quote him?
>>16980613Okay now I know you're just doing this on purpose.
>>16980613Necrofantasia is not bad as an extra boss theme, it's just overrated and done to death, kind of like Scarlets' themes..
>>16980605Are you ignorant or just plain retarded? Little Princess is THE most remixed track out of all of DDC
>>16980627OMG!Thank you so much!!!Now I know what I'm gonna buy next!!
>>16980631First in 2hu.Also butterfly girl has a cool theme.
Hoyhttp://www.mediafire.com/file/7rn2huai9s8nrcp
>>16980622>>16980638Stop listening to shitty circles anytime
>>16980605Okay now I know you're just doing this on purpose.
>>16980537Leitmotifs are fucking good though, it builds cohesion on a soundtrack. Kanako's got her fingerprints in multiple songs, Yukari and Ran share parts of their themes, it's been going on forever.
>>16980631We've get a /ss/ hag and a pants-wearing virgin. I wonder what's next.
>>16980634Why do you care so much?
>>16980620No way, the buildup is just better on Ran's theme.>>16980624I can't see it like that. Pristine Beat's tone is so low that even it at its highest tempo doesn't feel like a climax.>>16980635I'm serious; Ran's theme is way better than Yukari's.
>>16980638That's kind of like winning Special Olympics.
>>16980537I don't know honestly, themes like Little Princess and Pure Fury were powerful as all hell, I'm really loving the newer music.
>>16980646Fuck, you're not even trying now. I'd be hard pressed to find a circle that HASN'T touched Little Princess
>>16980654>buildup is just better on Ran's themeYou have terrible taste and a poor sense of musicality
>>16980646>Sekken'ya>Shitty circlehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1dnk3gY9Kg
So who's gonna be the popular one this time between these three?Or will they become forgotten after we get the 4/5/Final/Extra Bosses like it happened with LoLK?
>>16980660I like TD music, ISC music was surprisingly great, and LoLK has some good tracks too. the new one is looking good so far as well. It's just DDC that wasn't very good for some reason.
>>16980583LoLK's stage 5 (and boss) are two of the few exceptions to this pattern. Probably the musical highlight of LoLK for me
>>16980660Those songs are terrible. They don't come from anywhere. There's no interest in the melody at all. Compare them to something like Alice Maestra,
>>16980537Just considering the last game, how are stage 4 and 5 not memorable in LOLK? Faraway Voyage, The Sea Where One's Home Planet Reflects, and Pure Furies are pretty powerful songs.
>>16980572You don't like the hair because ZUNGive it to someone with a bit more talent (I know, blasphemy) to make it look rightZUN never managed to draw frillsand now he tried ot draw cloud hair, of course it was doomed to fail
>>16980668I think Etarnity will stay relevant due to being an insect and her relation to CirnoThe other two are bland
>>16980667Thats pretty shit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9_xu8sp798
Getting one?
>>16980586>>16980649Oh I didn't mean it across multiple songs. I meant within the same song where it feels like ZUN didn't really come up with a full melody but rather a short passage and decided to experiment with it
>>16980451Yuugi is piss easy on all difficulties, what are you on?
>>16980668It's probably gonna be Bug > Hag > qt.
>>16980675After Doremy's theme LoLK music went a bit downhill IMO, not bad by any means though. Clownpiece theme is brain rape, but it's probably supposed to be that way, at least it's not outright annoying garbage like Hartmann's Youkai Girl.
>>16980668Etarnity will be the most popular by far. Hag will be forgotten outside of doujins, her design just isn't that striking. Cute Library Lion will get some love in fanart but will be passed over once hte full game comes out.
>>16980676Nemuno has bigger hair, bigger knife and bigger boobs!Nemuno? Morelike Nemune!
>>16980663How so? Necrofantasia only have 2 peaks; intro and the chorus, and it's bridge is awful and so out of place compared to the intro and the chorus.Ran's theme, on the other hand, has three (first chorus, the bridge to second chorus, and the pitch change) and feels connected to each other. The beats and the zunpets are just emotionally pleasing to hear. Necrofantasia is too overrated, even ZUN had to change her theme on IaMP.
Why are we even arguing about music?Are people disappointed with HSiFS's soundtrack?
7 has the best music. It's true.
>>16980675I liked LoLK music better than some of the other new titles. LoLK > DDC > TD for me. Stage 5/boss in LoLK is great, as is the Stage 6 theme. But the boss, while not bad per se doesn't match up to previous stuff like Border of Life and Gensokyo Millenium
>>16980668i just know people gonna draw the dog a lot
>>16980699You mean 8, surely
>>16980683And yet people hate on completely coherent and full songs like Little Princess
>>16980699also 5 and 12
>>16979973>>16980064I haven't played the game.But I think it should beNo. 3 真夏の妖精の夢andNo. 6 桜色の海を泳いで
>>16980698We've only heard half of them. Calm down.
>>169807052nd place by a close margin.
>>16980699Late PC-98 through 8 is the golden age. 10-12 is still good. By DDC it became apparent that he had nothing more to say
>>16980462I was moving to adjust my glasses and the fucking lasers caught me off guard.
>>16980710less than that if you think about the EX stage
>>16980668Bug'll get/stay popular if she starts getting paired with other characters which we're already seeing with Cirno and Wriggle.Dog depends on if she's part of a group with stage 4-6, but by herself she's got nothing. And that hag's doomed from the start, her profile straight up says she's a loner so I don't see anything coming from her.
>>16980699I think you mean SA.
>>16980660Little Princess unfitting for Shinmyoumaru.Unlike the Lost Emotion or Flight of the Bamboo Cutter
>>16980681This is kinda boringhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wwPKLv6cgc
Who will be the new meme girl from this game? Clownpiece was for LoLK, Sekibanki for DDC, and Futo for TD.
How long until Sakata paizuri?
>>16980706Little Princess is not a bad song, it's just kind of not remarkable, as if I have already heard it a few times in previous games.
Is DDC the most underrated game?
>>16980726Lost Emotion was a really unremarkable track
>>16980732It's rated exactly appropriately: abject shit
>>16980732It might actually be overrated
>>16980732I would say TD is but I also find TD to be the most forgettable game so I think it's generally rated appropriately.
This is Nemuno Sakata
>>16980728The cavewhore
>>169807253rd place, Green Eyed Jealousy and The Bridge People No Longer Cross makes the entire OST.
>>16980735>>16980738What's with the blind hate?The gimmick was really fun, the characters designs were great and the music was amazing.
Are we getting a new U.N.Owen cover in this game? Been a while since the last one.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jJZA-O_B78https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbMPHa-ncZkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23bGDZx2OPU
>>16980699MoF is the best, followed by SA. Everything from Stage 3 onwards in MoF is amazing
>>16980728From the demo alone? Bug. I don't see these two others toppling what's already started.
Jesus fuck. If ZUN keeps the autumn option as is, this is easily the hardest game to score at a WR level. I did a NB run in pic related spamming C for almost every nonspell/spellcard and got over twice my non spamming run. Shit is intense. My ears hurt from the high pitched shit.>>16980222I can tell you there's ones at 5m, 10m, 20m, 40m, 70m, 100m, 150m, and 250m. There's probably more past that too, but I think it would be very difficult to get a 250m score on the demo right now.
>>16980748>the music was amazingHave you even read the thread? DDC is the absolute low point of ZUN's music career.
>>16980730I'm not sure, the only thing that even sounds like it's been done before is the piano in the background sounding vaguely like the main themeAlso a reminder that it's a series with literally 400+ songs made by one person. Similarities are bound to happen simply because of how the human subconscious work. Many artists shit the bed and repeat themselves at a much lower song count than that
>>16980748There really isn't a gimmick at all. It's a pretty plain game and that's its real charm.The music was below average though so that's not helping it out at all
>>16980728>Futo for TDAnd Kyouko.Speaking of TD, anyone else flinched whenever that "spirit drop" sfx from TD squeaked during HSiFS gameplay?
>>16980762Yes I did read the thread, you must be the guy that everyone made fun of for having shit taste.>>16980764How so?
>>16980758I actually kind of hope zun keeps autumn as it is. It makes for really unique scoring strategies and routes.
How do you guys rate this demo?Stage 1 had great music and a great 1st stage bossStage 2 was garbage all aroundStage 3 had a boring stage, but a super cool boss
>>16980728You're forgetting Sagume and Seija
>>16980767that seems more like Yuugi's doing considering the context
>>16980772Agreed.
>>16980743Intro, epilogue, stage 1, stage 5 and extra stage were all better
>>16980762Nah that's TD
>>16980768It's been said a hundred times already but the only good tracks in DDC are the extra boss and little princess. Maybe stage 3 boss if you're feeling generous. The rest of the music is very bland and it doesn't fit zun's musical style at all
>>16980748It's just the same dude shitposting constantly. Don't pay attention to him, his arguments are weak and he's just in it for the (you)s
>>16980698>Why are we even arguing about music?Because /jp/ can't go five minutes without arguing over something that's mostly subjective.
>>16980772MENU MUSIC IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF IT ALL
>>169807724.5/10>>16980775You're a meme
>>16980777there's no sakeTHERES NO FUCKING SAKE
>>16980772Pretty meh. I really like butterflyhu though.
>>16980784TD has Desire Drive at least
>>16980772Stage 1 had great music, is the same shit as LoLK or DDC I don't even remember, it's just that I've played the streaming game before. The boss is mediocre and the first spell is the exact same as the opener for some reasonStage 2 sucks dicks overall but the boss's first and last spells are pretty hardStage 3 is boring but has a GREAT boss, great design and great theme song
>>16980799Find me a stage 4 theme that isnt good. I'll wait.
>>16980777That's what happens to the little boys in Sakata's case.
>>16980804Lolk easily
>>16980709is that not what i wrote...? either way they mean the same thing so w/e
>>16980804DOC's, I don't even remember what it's called.
>>16980748>The gimmick was really funThere was a gimmick?>the characters designs were greatLet's see, a mermaid no one likes, a meme girl with detachable head, a Spice and Wolf refugee, Prismriver clones, Nue's illigetimate child, worst end boss so far, most forgettable extra boss so far. I'd rate 3/10.> the music was amazing.Surely you jest.
>>16980785>The rest of the musicStage 5 is a remix of Higan Retour unless that also doesn't count as ZUN's musical style.Stage 3 boss is a massive piece of incoherent, dissonant and unmusical shit. There are a lot of them in DDC but that one takes the cake.
>>16980804EoSD
>>16980815Cute shitpost dude
>>16980810Oh yeah this exist.>>16980813Shit tastes detected. I can understand the tsukumo sisters theme but not the stage theme.
>>16980822Kill yourself
>>16980804LoLKDDCUFO not too great either.
>>16980822Bad taste.
>>16980769From a survival standpoint I'd rather he nerf it, but from a scoring standpoint I think it sets the bar as the most difficult and precise shit to manage since PoDD. You need to get super close to the bosses with the shield up to maximize PIV gain, but you need to make sure you don't die from getting too close, and since the shield is small bullets can get behind you, blocking your way back. You also need to manage the boss's health since you don't want to kill her too fast or not do enough damage and not get spell bonuses. The shield does damage to the boss so you have to balance between putting the shield on her to maximize amount of bullets absorbed and how fast you want to kill her. Bombing on bosses will almost always result in lost PIV. Et cetera.There's probably more intricacies that I haven't figured out myself yet since I'm not a superplayer, but I don't envy anyone trying to score HSiFS.
>>16980804Magical Storm.
>>16980822Only correct post.
>>16980804Worse than Desire Drive or not that good in general? If you mean the former, pretty much all of them but LLS's stage 4. If you mean the latter, EoSD's and DDC's don't impress me>>16980822At least someone agrees wih me.
>>16980728>memeI think you meme "popular".
>>16980804PCB
>>16980844This thread is going in a very terrible direction
mai favourite gaem has the best muzicyours iz shiet
>>16980844Screw you.
>>16980844In game it fits the stage perfectly, but listening to it outside of gameplay I'll give to you. It definitely drags on.
>>16980844I want this nigger dead by tomorrow.
>>16980804Magical Storm, Illusionary Joururi, and the Tsukumo sisters themselves are some of the most forgettable Touhou themes and characters around.
>>16980844True fucking facts, PCB's ost doesn't get good until stage 4 boss, at which point it becomes god tier through until Yukari
>>16980844Absolutely incorrect.
>>16980863
Aside from being too calm I don't see anything wrong with LoLK stage 4.
DDC had Vincent ValentineLoLK had SephiorthThis new game has the Kirin summonThis is getting weird.
>>16980832>UFO not too great eitherWhat the fuck did you say?
>>16980804IN is flawed because of the way he disrupts the theme of eastern wonderland run instead of just having it flow
So, how does the gimmick works?
>>16980867It's okay. I don't think there's anything wrong about it from a musical stand point, but there's not much impact in my opinion.
>>16980870UFO NOT TOO GREAT EITHERUFO stage 4 boss theme is also easily among the worst.
Touhou music is the topic that makes people the most legitimately angry on this site.
>>16980582You know, what if she's Sakuya's mom?
>>16980871What a horrible, horrible thread.
>>16980596You sure marry fast.
>>16980867It fits the stage well but if you listen to the track on its own it's not very impactful
>>16980863You're forgetting The Fantastic Legend of Tohno (and to some extent Diao Ye Zong)Ancient Temple is forgettable and Hiraori is just ok. Ultimate Truth is short and meh. Phantom Ensemble and Border of Life are fantastic though.
>>16980867It's not terrible, but the plank is simply set too high for stage 4 themes.
>>16980582Caveman Sakuya.
>>16980863>Fantastic Legend of Tono, Withered Leaf, Doll Maker of Bucuresti, and Doll Judgment aren't good themesLeave, and don't come back until you have better taste
>>16980890have you considered that maybe the plank is set that high so we don't walk into it and bash our heads?
>>16980867LoLK stage 4 is easily the weakest part of LoLK for me. Atleast the next stage ramps it up a lot. I still remember the release day thread on the jay.
>>16980884You don't think it would be better if he didn't randomly mess it up on the way down each time? It should sound like the title theme
>>16980889Nevermind Diao Ye Zong, he is forgetting Alice's stage and boss themes, this is completely unforgiveable. Especially stage theme.
>>16980878what the absolute fuckMurasa's stage theme is the only good one in UFO other than Hokkai and Cosmic Mind
Can we talk about the shot types?Which sub-shot is best for each character?
its all gone downhill
Eh
>>16980906At the End of Spring is fucking fantastic, what are you talking about
>>16980907no we're talking about your shit taste in music, shut the fuck up

>>16980715>>16980743>>16980725>>16980752>>16980699>>16980772>musical retards complaining about musicI mean, I'm nostalgic for old ZUN stuff too, but let's not kid ourselves. ZUN's older material was very heavy on specific, melodic loops. Very catchy sequences one after another, but which don't flow into one another so well to create a sense of atmosphere. Think of U.N.Owen and while it was catchy, what the fuck was the point of the horrifying descending progression at the start? The segue into that more mellow xylophone bit was sudden as fuck. There's a reason most remixes leave the intro out - it's terrible. In tracks like Necrofantasia and Border of life, he doesn't even bother trying to ease one part of the song into the next - there's just a brief pause and then immediately it goes into whatever. And this isn't even taking into account his fetish for shitty arpeggios and such. I mean, I love the old songs too, but they weren't musical masterpieces or anything. They were strong melodies with shitty padding. Often arranges picked out the gold and left everything else behind. IN and MoF is where you start to see some major changes. Songs like Bamboo Cutter and Immortal smoke focus on a single strong refrain. There's no real bridge between verses, only the rising and falling action of the theme. And that worked out great. By MoF he was even deeper into this style. Songs were highly atmospheric, utilizing more subdued instruments than the heavy guitars and trumpets of IN, but with a strong emphasis on a single refrain. This pattern continues into SA, save for probably Okuu's theme, which was uncharacteristically chaotic for some reason. Nuclear power? I don't get it. (cont)
>>16980910HAG
>>16980906Sky Ruin is better by far.
>>16980906This is a joke, right?Minamitsu's theme is the only song in the game that isn't fantastic.
>>16980910What about Etarnity and Komamo?
What if the full game also has shit characters?This game was my last hope on this franchise.
>>16980913This. Stage 1 UFO theme was pretty fucking fantastic. Fuck the haters.
>>16980902I never got why so many people love Alice's boss themes outside of Plastic Mind. Stage themes I completely agree with, but I always thought Doll Judgement and Grimoire were very repetitive
>>16980916Go back to /mu/ to listen to your rap accappella
tl;dr every touhou song is shitexcept for the music cd ones because nobody listens to them enough to have an opinion
>>16980922Her boss theme is ass but her stage theme is fantastic.UFO's soundtrack is mostly shit.
>custom.exe saves things directly to the th16 folder>but game reads settings from th16tr folderZUN you're drunk again
>>16980930only the most subtle of bait
>>16980924It will have not-Mima as a sideboss. Then the remainig Mimafags would proceed to kill themselves.
>>16980907Reimu-Fall is the best.
>>16980916EoSD melodies weren't even "strong" with the exception of U.N.Owen. They are just incredibly overrated for nostalgia reasons. PCB music is solid though, except extra stuff.
>>16980930Everything after Magical Astronomy is shit too
Not that it matters much but I feel like easy and normal mode are the exact same thing.>>16980863I was indifferent to this shitshow until you decided to post.
>>16980930old adam is the only bad cd, what with its boring originals and remixes that amount to just changing the drumsaside form futo's theme, which was fantastic
>>16980924All new characters are shit by default until the next game is released.
>>16980907Survival? Autumn. Scoring? Probably autumn.
>>16980940Heian Alien is a better U.N. Owen. U.N. Owen is just messy crap.
People actually like Chen's themes?
>>16980924The butterfly girl alone makes the game worth it anyway.
>>16980934Ah, a joke. Nice one.
>>16980925Both UFOs Stage 1 stage and boss theme's have got to be the best first stage theme's in all of Touhou, hands down
>>16980953I don't
Guess who's getting a figure this reitaisai
>>16980916That's why MoF has the best music. EoSD & PCB are a tad overrated to me but there's quite a bit of good stuff there still. It's the TD shift onwards that I wasn't fond of (with some exceptions)
>>16980940I dont care what you think of anything else but Chinese Tea will always be among the very best of what he's written
>>16980946Except DDC characters who are still shit.
>>16980953The stage theme is ok I guess
>>16980965LoLK*
Oh my, people can't enjoy all the themes, it seems.How about a change of topic; what season is your favorite so far?
>>16980965This
I don't know what's the butthurt here but I find everything great in this game, characters, music and atmosphere.
>>16980908People have been saying that since SA
>>16980953Stage theme yes, boss theme no..
>>16980968Lolk characters are good its the game that's bad
>>16980927Ironically, Plastic Mind's the one I felt was most repetitive. Though things like Romantic Children and Alice in Wonderland are easily the best of Alice's themes
>>16980971I think most are optimistic about this game but some maggot had the audacity to say that DDC was anything but trash
>>16980902Doll Judgement isn't good.
>>16980975The only bad chars in DDC are the Tsukumo sisters, everyone else is fucking great
>>16980969Hecatia style is the single worst thing that happened in Gensokyo fashion since Hatate.
>>16980927>>16980976I love Alice in Wonderland and Grimoire (though they are both a bit repetitive). The rest aren't memorable to me
>>16980969I haven't tried mixing different shot types with seasons yet, but based off defaults I'm really liking Spring. Everyone says Autumn is good, I dunno if it's just Aya having a shot type I don't know how to use or if she just sucks in general, but I'm not feeling it.
I want /v/ to leave.
>>16980940Out of how many songs I've grown tired of because they got so overdone, Sepette for a Dead Princess still manages to be, by far one of my favorite themes.
>>16980916(cont)UFO is was the next big shift. By this point ZUN is focused almost entirely on musical texture and we get some gorgeous songs that aren't something you'd hum to yourself, but work very well with the game. For the most part these songs take a backseat to the gameplay and serve to augment the atmosphere, rather than create it. Think Fires of Hokkai, Vaisravana, and Captain Murasa. Strong precussion, piano, and bass - little of anything else. The Exception is probably Emotional Skyscraper, which is fantastic, and a really strong case for ZUN's more atmospheric style - it's memorable, but not intrusive, featuring inoffensive instrumentals and strong refrains that bridge into one another incredibly well. TH13 takes these premises a little too far though. The soundtrack works very well as a game soundtrack, it complements the action and establishes atmosphere, but the whole thing is so damned boring. There's never any unexpected inserts, no energetic instrumentation. Very boring and predictable, but probably functions the best as a soundtrack, simply due to how unremarkable it is. Since DDC, it feels ZUN's been trying to work more of his pre-IN style into his music. Lot more ZUNpets, multiple disparate refrains and jarring sounds. Dunno if that's a good thing or a bad thing, I wasn't a fan of Little Princess But songs like Reverse Ideology, Star Striped, and Pure Furies sound like very polished versions of songs from the PCB era. If anything, I'd say that TH15 was a highlight in ZUN's musical progression, as it most acutely demonstrates his melding of the UFO styled atmospheric soundtrack, and the pre-MoF, heavy verse and refrain based stuff. >>16980930Music CDs are garbage too. >>16980928>proud of being pleb
Does ZUN realize that millions will pirate his work? How does he feel about it?
>>16980969I think some combination of Reimu + a secondary type like winter, something that shoots straight will be useful.Kinda doubt Cirno's gonna be too strong.
>>16981001He doesn't give a fuck because he does it for fun, not for shekels.
>>16980993>Music CDs are garbage too.Opinion discarded
>>16981001zun has mentioned that he doesnt really care if people pirate his games. he said it in an interview somewhere out there
>>16980993This is a completely awful analysis. His melodies have drifted miles away from where IN was. Polished versions of the PCB era? What the fuck, did you just type some random words that sounded like a critical inspection?
>>16980940Chinese Tea, Sepette, Even Tomboyish daughter had really well written refrains that just suffered from being in the hands of an inexperienced compositor. The general feeling from that Era is that ZUN had SO MANY cool ideas, but struggled to fit them into only so many tracks, resulting in the songs sounding overloaded and chaotic. You could pick out all of the verses from Sepette, and made them into like 5 cohesive tracks. I do think they're overrated, but there's little glimmers of gold in the pan. Zun's inexperience, especially with broader, non-midi soundfonts, just shows really hard. >>16980961MoF is, I'd say, the game with the LEAST bad songs. Or rather, the most balanced soundtrack. It's really good at establishing this cohesive mood throughout. Nitori's theme flows really well into Autumnal waterfall, it's almost like they're different sections to an Opera. The other side to this is that there's little diversity. Most are written in the same key, share similar progressions and a lot of the same instrumentation. It almost feels like playing one, very long stage, rather than 6 separate stages. The songs feel less like reflecting the characters, than the characters in the context of MoF. Compare that to, say, PCB, or EoSD, or even DDC where with every new track you get a completely different sense of what the music's trying to accomplish.Now, whether a more cohesive soundtrack is a good thing or a bad thing is up to the listener. You could make cases for either side.
>>16981011/mu/ does that to people.
>>16981011I can agree with this, the actual songs in game are really not that good. People are just attached to earlier game ones since they have listened to hundreds of remixes of the same songs from the first games.
Am I the only one having a harder time focusing on the enemy bullets in this game? I'm not sure if the season item things from the graze are distracting me or if it's something else
So lives are tied to score once again, right?
>>16981028Me too.
>>16981028Not only the visual pollution from the season items but also the bullets in stage 3 blend too much with the background
>>16980969I love Spring even though the point pellets are a little annoying.Cirno's summer shot-type is terrible.For the stage instead, I love the third one.
>>16979649>>16979660>>16979664Where's the new art of Reimu and the rest?
>>16980993Thanks for confirming you're a retard, now there's no point in replying or even reading your ramblings anymore.
>>16981015This is also a load of horseshit. Septette has an introduction, the melody, and then what basically amounts to improvisation. Not even going to bother addressing the rest of this garbage.
>>16981028The backgrounds seem to be a lot more dynamic and colorful this time, I think that might have something to do with it. In stage two the fairies that come in from the sides gave me trouble since I was distracted by everything else
>>16981034Yeah I've noticed this is sort of a thing in all the stages. Then there's the Stage 2 boss' first card, which shouldn't be giving me as much trouble as it does and I have no idea why
>>16980388>Stage 3 DaiyouseiAnon...
ZUN's music is incomplete without the sound of danmaku to accompany it.
Who else thinks /mu/fags should swing from trees?
i'm not that picky with touhou soundtracks so i just like almost all of them.
Summer and Autumn Subshots both are pretty spammy. You can keep using them over and over to regain your resources and basically cheat tons of tough patterns.Doesn't help that since the demo has SO many stream nons and spellcards, they both help a ton with that.Autumn is even worse than summer tho since with it you can just run into patterns and gain a ton of resources to keep doing it over and over again. Reminds me of MarisaB's bombspam from DDC desu.
>>16981057Who are you quoting?
Holy shit, winter Marisa deals so much damage. I'm in love with her again.
>>16981074The post he was replying to?
>>16981074I'm quoting >>16980388where he says "Stage 3 Daiyousei".
>>16981074You're a disgrace to the wayq crew.
>>16981011>This is a completely awful analysis. His melodies have drifted miles away from where IN was. Polished versions of the PCB era? What the fuck, did you just type some random words that sounded like a critical inspection?Well, I thought I justified myself a bit, but let me elaborate. The reason I say that LoLK reminds me of PCB era music is for three main reasons. The instrumentation is very PCB era, featuring an array of glockenspiels, pianos in the forefront, and airy synths in the background, with a healthy dose of ZUNpet, unlike UFO or TD. Listen to Doremy's theme and tell me you don't get major PCB stage 3 or stage 4 vibes - the synths are very similar. The boss themes in LoLK tend to jump between three of four main refrains, (UFO and TD rarely have more than two) with a lot of shifting between major and minor pentatonic scales. Clownpiece is probably the best example here. And finally, the harmonies he plays with are generally a mix of rising notes and arpeggios, which is very similar to pre-IN music, but not so popular post MoF. But unlike PCB era music, ZUN doesn't rely on Arpeggios nearly as much, he's mastered mixing and soundfonts a lot more so that the ZUNpets don't sound like an earsore, and he's diversified his melodic bridges into more than just a series of eighth notes played in rapid succession. But he's also very concerned about the texture of the sound and the atmosphere it creates, like UFO. So yeah, I stand by the idea that it's a blending of past and present. >>16981007Some of them are quite nice, but they have their share of bad tracks too. Especially earlier ones. Most of the time they sound experimental. Really good ideas marred by poor execution. If you can enjoy the concept itself - more power to you, there's nothing wrong with that.
>>16980402III where?????
Come on guys, HRTP had the best soundtrack.
The new music sounds more like DDC and TD, which is fine even though I preferred LoLK's more powerful music which sounded more like pre-TD.I tend to like stage music more than boss always though, which LoLK was great at.
Why does the Stage 2 Boss theme sound like complete ass
Holy shitballs, ZUN and his daughter got fucking buffed
>>16981098Reverse Ideology has jackshit in common with anything before UFO. LoLK's instrumentation is electronic, PCB's is faux organic. LoLK is much more rhythmic with the kick. The appegios have nothing in common with how he used them in EoSD-IN. If you're going to call ZUNpets an easier then you simply don't understand what he was creating up until SA/UFO
>>16981074Meme'd a little too hard there buddy
>>16981047>Septette has an introduction, the melody, and then what basically amounts to improvisation. If you play a couple of chords, then jump to something completely different, then that's not really an introduction. There's no effort to ease the main melody in, the introduction feels tacked on. Something like, say, the introduction to Beethoven's 5th has a similar refrain, but the very last instance leads into the melodic body seamlessly. Here, the "introduction" just ends... and that's it. No attempt is made to bridge the two parts. And the improvisation... kind of sounds very amateurish. It's just a series of random pentatonic eighth notes. There's no real sense to them, and even improvisations, or actually here it's more of a breakdown, tend to have a bit more complexity and variety in terms of note length. It's not terrible, but I'm not going to listen to that string in the same way I would, say, a Jazz improvisation. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Sepette is a bad song, it's actually a personal favorite. It's a set of great ideas that, like many EoSD tracks, is marred by poor understanding of the software and music theory.
>>16981074Epic meme you dumbfuck tryhard
>>16979649It's pretty obvious he spent the most time and effort on this one. Maybe he was in a rush to finish the other two in time, because they look kinda weird.
>>16981132Well, he did say he wanted to be simpler in this game. I guess not only in difficulty but in character designs as well.
>>16981063What I can't believe is that they're absolutely serious about thinking their tastes are objectively the norm of music and their ego is so big they even shit on classical composers that made history
>>16981121>Reverse Ideology has jackshit in common with anything before UFO. The liberal ZUNpet use, the strong melodic focus, and the heavy repetition are more similar to Pre-UFO than post. As well as the electric guitar. Actually, kind of reminds me of a IN era track. Obviously it's not exactly the same, ZUN has really improved as a composer since then. But there are definite similarities and notes. In addition, that key shift halfway through was pretty common in IN, PCB, and SA, but very seldom seen in UFO and TD. >LoLK's instrumentation is electronic, PCB's is faux organic.That's a weird thing to say. Electronic music tends to explore more timbre than pitch, which is true for UFO and TD but certainly not for Seija's theme. Still, I'd have a hard time calling Youmu, Yuyuko, or Yukari's themes "organic," with how heavy the synths are. I will agree that for PCB in particular, the thing that really ties it all together is the emphasis on Piano and Harpsichord sounds. >LoLK is much more rhythmic with the kick. The appegios have nothing in common with how he used them in EoSD-IN. Well, to some extent. He uses them a lot less to bridge verses now, but in both cases repetitions of three-note rising chords and arpeggios are used to form the harmonic backing. Although I guess EoSD did that a little more than PCB. >If you're going to call ZUNpets an easier then you simply don't understand what he was creating up until SA/UFONot sure what you meant by this.
>>16981098I have a hard time comparing Doremy's theme to anything, really. It's frantic as fuck when ZUN's boss themes are almost always painfully slow.
>>16981157Doremy theme is easily the best when paired with gameplay. I wish he would compose more themes like it.
>>16981075I'm just going through the shot types. It doesn't seem like the sub-season does much of anything for most.
>>16981143making history != goodEven Mozart wrote bad tracks sometimes. It's like saying everything Shakespeare wrote was gold. They're only human, they make stupid shit too. I mean, I'm not here to impose any opinion. Just because tracks have flaws don't mean they're bad, per se. I'm still partial to songs like Alice in Wonderland, and that one had a whole slew of issues. It's more about understanding what distinguishes ZUN's periods and styles in different games. Nothing about objective quality judgement.
>>16981157I like the slow themes. ZUN has been focusing too much on making boss themes sound exciting rather than bringing out the characters characters recently (DDC onwards).
>>16981031LoLK demo was also tied to score, so it could change
I thought stage 3 was pretty
>>16981164Spring adds a few homing things, Marisa's all focus behind her to fire straight lasers, Cirno's spread all over the place and Aya's adds birds that make your range slightly wider. That's the idea I got from one playthrough with each anyway.By the way, am I missing anything about the fall sub-option? Its release looks just like a weaker version of summer's one because it consumes all 6 bars at once and lasts for barely any time at all.
>>16981207The trick is to use it, run inside a bunch of bullets and run back to safety. That'll give you enough resources to get at least a level 1 fall release, so you can basically spam it constantly.Goes without saying it works better in higher difficulties.
I hate it when Touhou shooters require the C button
I feel like default Marisa is the best shot type.
How do you release the things?
>>16980060Bit late, but releasing doesn't fail the spellcard bonus.
>>16981214Press C, like with Trance
>>16981212I think its either that or Aya Winter for a better bomb or Reimu Winter
My biggest gripe with the recent games' music is how it tends to not fit with the scenery at all.
>>16981098>Some of them are quite nice, but they have their share of bad tracks too. Especially earlier ones.This is the absolute worst post in this entire thread and that's saying a lot.
>>16981195That's the thing though, his themes tend to be so slow because his preferred method of creating tension and an intimidating atmosphere for his bosses tends to be through giving them slow, heavy elements to their themes. Junko is a major example of this.Doremy's extremely unusual for him not only because of the overall pace to her theme, but also because he ramps tension in her song by increasing it's pace, which is usually the exact opposite of what he does.
I'm REALLY liking this game. The art feels like a more refined version of the DDC style, the music uses instruments from all over the place in an amazing way, there are no stupid gimmicks, the shot type stuff is really cool, and the new 2hus are fucking adorable.The only thing I'm wondering about is hobo Sakuya. She has boobs and no hat? Very confusing.Maybe I'm just excited, but I really do think this could be the best in the series if the rest of the game lives up to the expectations based on the demo that I've set.
That smug
Feels almost too easy.
I still think LoLK had the best demo. I like the new girls and music, but the danmaku was very disappointing. I don't really know what he was going for.
>>16981259definitely the easiest 2hu demo
>>16981237I wouldn't call Junko's theme slow though. What I meant was stuff like Plain Asia, Green-Eyed Jelousy, and Cosmic Mind.
>>16981259>>16981265I really don't understand this. I'm having a tougher time with it than TD and DDC demos. Something about the visuals is making it hard to focus on the bullets. It's not hard but I wouldn't call it easy
>>16981269In comparison to LoLK's demo, this is a cakewalk. Admittedly, it is kinda hard for me to track all the leaf pickups, but the danmaku patterns aren't that had to wade through. Fuck curved lasers, though.
What does releasing your nature do exactly? Do you just get a small shield for a while or is there more to it?
>>16981259It's easy for survival, to score you likely have to get up close to shit to place your Releasable.
>>16981277Curved lasers is the easiest attack in the entire demo. It's not even curved by the time it reaches the bottom
>>16981259I don't know, having score tied to getting more lives like this makes the game feel a bit harder for a casual who hasn't played in a long time like me.
>>16981281Caught me by surprise the first few times before realizing I was completely safe by staying still.
>>16981269Have you tried pressing the C button? Because it gives frequent invincibility frames + score bonuses that will give you more lives.What's the optimal way to use it though? As soon the first bar gets filled in the nearest cloud of danmaku?
>>16981279Still not entirely sure about how that mechanic works. I'll wait for a translation, I guess.
>>16981278Each shield seems to have its properties, although I haven't experienced enough with them to full understand everything. Winter's one seems to stay on place for some time, summer's only costs one bar, and fall's follows you.
>>16981290I'm the same guy who posted about how he hates C earlier. It's really irritating having to stretch my finger over to C from X. TD gave me the same issue but TD definitely *felt* easy to me. >>16981277LoLK is kinda an outlier though
>>16979660I thought she was bland at first, but sexhair and big breasts give pretty decent doujinshi potential
>>16981300>It's really irritating having to stretch my finger over to C from XThat's true, but since the deathbombing time here is relatively large I just keep my finger on the C, which is basically a bomb that refills every 5 seconds and there's no reason to not use it as soon there's a problematic danmaku pattern even though you aren't in danger.That won't probably be ideal for score plays but.
>>16981300TD probably felt easier cause you didn't need to do it more often and usually planed when to do it ahead of time. This is annoyingly requiring you to do it with the same reflexes you'd use to Flash Bomb in Len'en. (though thankfully this game is easy enough to not have to worry about it too much rather than building the game around it or I might have to stop playing on a keyboard for this...)
>>16981278They all absorb bullets to increase your point item value. The effect varies depending on which one you have though. Fall increases your speed and follows you, winter increases your damage, and summer only uses one option at a time like SA alice.
I feel like getting high scores will involve constant chargers to the boss to place your Release right where most bullets spawn
pthf
I just masturbated to blade-chan's game art. Those breasts couldn't wait. It's not often you see this kind of stuff in a game drawn by ZUN.
I think another thing that might be messing me up on this game is my playstyle. I like to go to the PoC a lot and kill most of the enemies on the stage. This seems to require you to be a bit more careful in this game than in some others.
>>16979797Oops I meant butterfly fairy
>>16981266I don't see how any of those could be considered slower than Junko's theme. Hell, they're all pretty fast compared to her, True Admin, Septette, U.N. Owen, Border of Life, etc.How fast a theme is doesn't affect how much character it has anyway, just what kind of character it conveys.
>>16981334It's good to know that the canon boobhu legacy will continue.
>>16981334Same here dude.
>>16980935any idea how to fix that my dude?
>>16980498Someone finally fucking said it.>>16980687Now THIS is bait.
>>16981366Go to your appdata folder and find the ShanghaiAlice folder in there, then copy the config file from the th16 folder to the th16tr one.
>>16980957>best first stage themeThat's TD.
>>16981379worked, thank my dude have a winter cirno
>>16981379>>16981366>>16980935Does LoLK also have the same custom.exe settings as this one? I've been holding off on playing games older that Great Fairy Wars because of my horrible 10 fps experience.I just realized that my toaster >>16981298 could play this th16 demo on 20 fps on the lowest settings, so I was wondering if I can play LoLK on this as well.
>>16981408All games since DDC seem to have the same engine, and the custom.exe hasn't changed since MoF, so you can most likely use the config file for one of those games on this one after renaming it to the correct name.
Winter > Summer > Fall > Spring
>>16981421Thanks, anon. Subterranean Animism runs worse than this demo even on the lowest settings, so I guess the engine improved if your words are correct. I don't know if I only managed to get 20 fps because of the fact that it's just a Demo though. It might run worse on the full versions.
>>16979901this
>>16980969Autumn Marisa is the best in my opinion.Good ol' Marisa laser + very long master spark + the autmun gimmick that when activated lets marisa run across the whole screen clearing so many danmaku, and since it's so easy to ram into many danmaku this way the bar recharges very fast. You can pretty much cheese most spell cards too.
Not sure why i'm getting 30 fps. Thought it was some weird vsync issue on fullscreen but it's still 30fps even on windowed.
Is there any real reason not to constantly use your releases during boss fights? You get it back so fast.
So, whats the ingame explanation of Cirno being tan?
>>16981494Mysterious powers powering up fairies
>>16980907Cirno's is probably Winter, ironically. She really needs that beam to make up for her shitty spread.
>>16981422Winter is like Summer except you blow the whole load on a button press
>>16981541Muh pew pew laser tho
>>16980907I'm enjoy Winter Marisa and Aya a lot so far.
>>16981541Yeah but you get a strong laser, while winter has a terrible shot type, it's better suited for Reimu in my opinion.
Jesus Summer Cirno feels so weak compared to the others. No homing, doesn't clear as quickly, and slow to boot. Her only saving grace is that her release is almost like a second bomb pool. Almost.
>>16981595Well she's just a fairy that has gone berserk due to season incident like all those enemies you defeat.
>>16981157>>16981162Wait, none of you realised ZUN ripped off a fripside song for Doremy theme?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmEHt4iPkCA
>>16981595Many people complained about Cirno being playable in a main game because of powerlevel autism, so there you have a crappy shot compared to the rest.
>>16981595Still a better shot type than solo Alice or Sakuya in IN so Cirno > them
>>16981610But is she as amazing as MarisaB in UFO?
I miss Marisa's lasers that penetrates the enemies.It's like water gun at this point.
It's weird that Reimu doesn't have her needles in HSiFS when she always had it in previous games.
Why does Reimu need to kill youkai over this? Wouldn't permanent seasons in defined areas be a good thing?
>>16981664Not for the way things are normally. She's a Shinto priest. With Shinto, excitement and change is generally to be looked down upon as it's deemed inherently wrong. Or I could be wrong with what I heard about that.Either way, it fucks up the balance of how things are SUPPOSED to be and in a very brazen manner therefore it can fuck off.
Tried playing a bit on Lunatic and I can complete the first level not dying once by spamming the fuck out of the Release skill. You get so much of it on Lunatic. The first group of fairies can already get you 1 release.
>>16980251Works on my machine.
Does anyone have music rip?
>>16981450>Good ol' Marisa laserI don't remember her laser being non-penetrating garbage.
>>16981785Try playing any game before MoF.
>>16981781The game uses .dat files, so we'll have to figure out what kind of .dat file it is and then get software that can open that kind of .dat file.Then we could grab it. Anybody wanna help?
>>16981895Ah nevermind, I'm retarded.
>>16981827So it's not good then.
>>16981781>>16981929>>16981895I'm not sure how good it is, but I tried.https://www.mediafire.com/?3d60hceqrtfd6qc
>>16982018It's in FLAC by the way, but I could make a compressed version if anybody wants that too.Includes all tracks that you could import via the BGM file.
I just died because the sub bomb couldn't keep up with the spam even though the bar was filled, seems you need to wait like one second after the previosu expires anyway.>>16982049Thank you, I prefer 320kb mp3 but I'll just convert them on my own
>>16982254Yeah, you need to wait a really short time before you can bomb again. Otherwise Summer would probably bee too broken.
>>16979664great
Is it the same old boring enemies and graphics as usual? Is the difficulty hard enough to make up for infinite bomb spam and bullet cancelling?Not worth playing if it doesn't have 1.5 of these two.
>>16982877you know it.
>>16980680>and her relation to CirnoWhat's that?
>>16982917They're both fairies.i.e: butterfly's gonna be in Hirasaka's fairy manga.
>>16982877Yes, you can leave
scrub hereHow do I autumn?
>>16981379thank u my gthank u
>>16982956I just don't know why out of the hundreds and hundreds of youkai to work with, he keeps using fairies and yin yangs as enemies. There are games from 1992 that have more enemies in the first stage than zun puts in an entire game.
>>16983052Cause those youkai are future bosses/manga characters.
>>16983052Drawing new sprites is work and ZUN hates that.
>>16983052You can leave anon
>>16982923Etarnity is a fairy? That's really cool. So is she the fairy of butterflies or of something else?
>>16981247>Vexorg the ever Incarnate Flintstone
>>16981116Donkey and Shai'hulud off on another stormy whirlwind adventure!
Man, LoLK was 2 years ago, huh?
>>16980209ZUN's visit to Atlanta affected him more than we thought
>>16981098>SoundfontsOpinion Discarded.
>>16983832When did ZUN visit Atlanta?
>>16983961ZUN went to AWA in 2013
>>16980546I agree it should have been more drum-heavy, but it definitely does have more drums than the average Touhou track. I don't think there's any other Touhou theme with a drum solo.
>>16980715Flatly incorrect. Golden age is 7 through 11 inclusive.
>>16984930I'd disagree with 9 being good at all and 11 is notably worse than 7-10, but those three are by far the best in the series
>>16984930This. 7, 10, and 11 had the best atmosphere by far too.
>>16980530>DDC first stage: shit.Regardless of anything else I can't forgive this. DDC has the best Stage 1 theme of any Touhou game besides maybe SoEW and PCB.
>>16984910Chiyuri's theme has one.
>>16983345What the fuckWhat the actual fuckTime goes by so fucking fast holy shit
>>16980916>>16980993I generally agree with you but fuck off, there's nothing wrong with UN Owen Was Her, and while most of the music CDs are eh there's standouts like Magical Astronomy and Dr. Latency.
>>16981300>having to stretch my finger over to C from XThe way I position my hands has my index finger over the C key even in games without any functionality for it. I always put my pinky on the shift key, ring on Z, and middle on X. I think it's a holdover from the way I play games with WASD.
What's the theme of this game?
>>16986205SeasonsIt's in the name anon c'mon
>>16986226Yeah I saw Lily White, but still not convinced.
>>16986279People have already translated the foreword to the story.>>16983690Each of the four characters also has four different shottype variants based on the four seasons that add different Options to their regular shot.
I am glad that ZUN-sama finally introduced an Okinawan youkai.
>>16980494>Shoot the clone and focus on herParsee put me in the habit of avoiding the clone at all costs
