Beautiful landscapes, not tracts of land.

There are several reasons for me. I mean, in my heart part of me might think, yes there are better technical bullet hell games out there.

The thing about Touhou games for me though, is a package. Without even considering the fandom each new game brings with it a wonderful tone based on the event ZUN went with, be it the Winter-come-Spring feeling of Perfect Cherry Blossom, the Autumn of Mountain of Faith or the dark paths of Imperishable Night. Each stage has a tone the music sets and then each bosses danmaku attempts to follow. It makes the game very enjoyable.

I mean, for all the faults we found when Mountain of Faith came out, which was something of a shit storm at the time, now we all look back on it fondly for the characters introduced and how well the game presented them in both theme and style.

The music is easily my favourite part of Touhou, it fits each character or each stage well and paints a image of that stage in the admittedly limited story.

The rest of it, like the fandom is all extra, frankly. I still play Mountain of Faith or Perfect Cherry Blossom at times just to go through the music for that same feeling you get when you naturally go through the stages and it lines up perfectly with the gameplay.

That's Touhou. The characters are nice and all, but their real characterisation is in their playful music.

Think most of the Hakugyokurou ones will have already been posted in the Yuyuko thread but I'll see what I can muster up.
