/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I can't decide between IN and SA.

I utterly loath this game. Everyone always says its the easiest Touhou, but you are all fucking liars. Seriously, fuck this game.

I agree

>Amazing, huge cast
>Incredible OST
>Interesting Story

IN > *

It even holds my favorite person

It's shit. The gameplay and atmosphere were like LOL grimdark, and reddish shit everywhere.

>>6503694
I will admit that it has the hardest Stage 4 out of all the games. Marisa and Reimu are ridiculous.

Hardest stages by game:
1. UFO
2. PCB
3. UFO
4. IN
5. UFO
6. SA

I'm torn between PCB and IN
Both have excellent music (which all Touhou games have, but these two have the most)
And they're the only games I can 1cc

>>6503709
>lol grimdark
>Impershable Night
>A nightly setting

0/10

This is probably my personal favorite.

The OST is just amazing.

IN was my first game, so even though I sort of hate the gameplay, I get Feelings whenever I play it and I love the OST and all the space shit.

>>6503702

I really hope she'll come around in the next released game.

>>6503702
Mokou is also my favorite person.

I like all settings in Touhou.
With that said, IN would be perfect if the gameplay was a bit better. The music is indeed awesome and fits really nice with the stages. Plus, it probably has the best Final Stage (mind you, not Final boss) in the series.

>>6503740
Err, by final do you mean 6A, 6B or Extra?

>>6503697
>Incredible OST
>Not second worst in the series (including PC98) after PoFV

>>6503740
IN final stages are great
Voyage 1969 is excellent, and Voyage 1970 is tied with Border of Life as my favorite final theme

They all have their ups and downs, but PCB will always be my favorite.

>>6503758
6B.
6A is also good, but just because of Voyage 1969.
You know, what, both are fine; the setting of the corridor that leads into space set to that theme is just fucking spectacular.

>>6503768
>PoFV
>Bad Soundtrack
Only track I'm not a fan of is Mystia's theme.
It also has Yuuka and Yama's themes, which are excellent.
You and your opinions are dumb.

>>6503768
>your opinion
>not worse than my opinion

>>6503776
Those corridors....

>>6503795

running up and down to clean them must be such a pain...

>>6503768

IN is probably my favorite. PCB's fight with Yuyuko is the most epic, though. I really hate fighting her because her danmaku are so beautiful.

I fucking love IN, but I haven't played them all enough to say for sure that it is my favorite

>>6503697
>interesting story

>>6503778
PoFV has maybe three or four actually good songs while everything else are forgettable new tracks or half-assed re-arranged versions of songs that were fine already. Many of INs themes don't feel unique to the characters and sound like they could have been interchanged between half the cast. ZUN got lazy after PCB and didn't get his shit together again until MoF.

>Spell practice
Awesome option was awesome.

>>6503873

>Implying Kaguya-hime, the imperishable night incident where Eirin put the entire planet in a pot with a paper machete disguised as the moon to fool everyone, and Mokou's backstory are NOT interesting stories

>>6503712
I think UFO stage 2 lunatic is worse than PCB stage 2 lunatic.

PCB is my favorite.

Best soundtrack, playable Sakuya, best enemies. 4 bombs per life + borders feels kinda cheesy but who cares.

>>6503717
To be honest I'm not sure why more people don't think that UFO has one of the best soundtracks, especially taken as a whole. There's maybe one or two better songs on other games, but every single one of UFO's songs are quite solid, and Byakuren's theme is as amazing as it is long.
Plus, if curvy lasers everywhere don't make you rage, nothing will.

>>6504073
Playable and horribly overpowered solo Youmu > playable Sakuya.
Though, PCB is my favorite for reasons that aren't that.

>>6504372
solo youmu as in IN solo youmu?

tried it yesterday, my anus was bleeding afterwards. aiming her shot is a bitch and her through the roof speed is more a hindrance than helping.

yuyuko on the other hand is a powerhouse, especially against Mokou's hugeass hitbox

most underrated touhou ost:

>5. UFO
Really? I'd say this one has to go to SA too. Other than her first non-spellcard being rage inducing, Shou isn't all that bad, whereas Orin just rapes you over and over again.

>>6504372
I like how diverse UFO's soundtrack is. Some people dislike that I guess though because the music has like no consistency in tone as you play through the game.

>>6504558
Yeah nah you're just shit.

Her shot can be aimed where ever you want with a bit of skill, it can hit hard and her movement speed is good.

lrn2focus if you need tight movement.

>>6504645
>Orin just rapes you over and over again

I wish.

IN is dull. With a few exceptions most of the stages seem pretty generic. There are one or two good bosses, that's it.

PCB is Touhou at its peak. Every stage is gloriously detailed and different, every spell is awesome and holy shit DAT soundtrack. I've never heard a better soundtrack in any game, commercial or otherwise. It's amazing how one game alone is stuffed with so many incredible tracks.

>>6504734
Well it is certainly the loudest one.

>>6504753

not if you turn the volume down

Why does /v/ have better Touhou threads than /jp/ does? Also, I like all the Touhou games except for SA. The characters and music just don't get to me.

>>6504734
>PCB was my first touhou

I'm really, really caught between UFO and SA for favorite soundtrack. There isn't a single song I dislike on either of them, but the highlights are the highest of all lights.
I mean, UFO has Tiny Tiny Clever Commander, Heian Alien, and most importantly Captain Murasa. I mean goddamn, the latter is just incredible. The fight itself wasn't anything special but holy hell, the music just made the first time I fought her one of my most favorite memories of ever.
On the other hand SA is just full to the brim of rad tracks. Last Remote, Hellfire Mantle, Be of Good Cheer, and goddamn Nuclear Fusion.
ZUN has only gotten better at composing and making games in general.
Also Soku's remixes are all sicknasty. Best Marisa theme, hands down. Not to keen on the original song but dat remix and all the other jazzy ones.

>>6504755
The only time when Necrofantasia isn't loud is when your speakers are turned off.

>>6504774
Hell yeah, Soku music is just awesome. Grimoire of Alice always makes me unconsciously start swaying around like a fucking faggot.
Also Unknown X. Goddamn, this theme.

>>6504761
To make up for its overall shittiness, I guess.

>>6504783
That Fantasy Heaven.

MoF would have to be my favorite, I'm probably one of the few that would say that. Despite the easy bomb spamming and the stupid super Marisa B, I got into that game easily because of the music. I feel so excited playing it because the soundtrack seems to mix into the game so well.

I listen to my own music while I play touhou.

>>6504794
Sadly, all MoF lacks is gameplay.

In b4 ZUN!bar

>>6504773

The only time Necrofantasia isn't awesome is never.

>>6504772

actually I think it was EoSD. I wasn't even that keen on PCB initially, it was only when I came back to it after a while that I started to realise the immense genius within it. My second favourite after PCB is STB, not a nostalgiafag.

>>6504774
How ironic, I don't even consider Heian Alien and Captain Murasa good tracks, even though I think UFO has good soundtrack overall (especially Cosmic Mind and Beware the Umbrella left there forever).

>>6504761
Why were you on /v/ to begin with?

>>6504645
Everything about Orin is very easy once you figure out her tricks. Shou on the other hand is still ridiculous after you figure out her tricks. For example, I know that the big spinning green lasers follow your position, but I have no idea how to use this to my advantage to make it easier. I have to bomb that card every time. Not to mention Shou's curvy lasers need more reaction than Orin's very simple attack patterns.

>>6505800
Do those green lasers follow you? I play it more like Ran's Ultimate Buddhist card where you just have to follow the laser and then just hit when it gives you some time at the bottom of the screen. It's the only spellcard of hers I can beat consistently right now, just gotta stick to the edge of the screen and memorize when the lasers speed up.

but I agree Rin is a hell of a lot easier than Shou in evrey regards.

>>6504625
Not underrated, just not very good.

MS is incomparably better.

>>6505828
Yeah, the spinning green lasers follow you to some degree. When you hear a certain sound, a magic circle will appear at your position, and the center of one green laser will move to that position shortly after.
