I browse the touhou wiki a lot, and i was just wondering where all the information about the characters as well as Gensokyo are based on. And yeah, i'm new here.

>> No.7547314

The touhou game itself, obviously.

>i'm new here
Did you really feel the need to point that out? What made you think it'd be a good idea to say that?

>> No.7547318

All the ZUN-backed canon material. Mainly games, a few manga, etc, etc.
Now, if you're talking about the Wikia, rather than the Wiki, that's another story entirely.

>> No.7547352

>>7547314
Your right, some of it is in the game, but there is still a lot more than what meets the eye.

Almost all of which are in the games, in the danmaku patterns, in the ways ZUN indirectly programed the player to move in order to dodge...

man, happens every time i come here. I was just asking for someone to point me in the right direction. This probably wasn't the right place for me to go...

What, people saging? If that really makes you frustrated then yes, you shouldn't come here. I don't think there's EVER been a thread that hasn't had sage posts in it.

>> No.7547408

Sometimes ZUN gets interviewed and he points out/corrects minor details.

He also wrote a series of short stories about life in Gensokyo from the view point of Rinnosuke, practically the only male humanoid in the Touhou world.

The rest comes entirely from the games.

Thread over.

>> No.7547410

1. the game's text files (character profiles)
2. the game dialog
3. the informational books (Aya's, Akyuu's, Marisa's)
4. the manga and stories
5. things ZUN said

Thanks, that's exactly the kind of stuff I'm looking for.

>> No.7547430

Any idea where I can find those books?

>> No.7547427

Everything under trivia and random facts section is bullshit, or memes spawned from niconico.
If you really care about touhou memes that much just watch shit on nicovideo, or play Touhou Mother that was a meme fest too.

What, isn't anyone going to warn this poor bastard away from the trainwreck that is the wikia wiki?

I guess you're a bit tunnel-visioned or you're baiting for angry responses, but I'll bite anyway, just in case I actually prevent the creation of another meme-spewing faggot.

The books that are text-only are already on the wiki as well as ZUN's interviews.
The official comics are also available for downloading on the wiki.
Now, if there's anything that isn't available on the wiki, it will probably be on /rs/ or hongfire.

>> No.7547467

>>7547427
Not all of it recently they've created a separate section "Fandom" which filters all the memeshit into that area.

The Trivia section is now just full of useless minor details about characters that are canon, most of the time.

Sorry if it seems that way, that is not at all my intention. I'm just asking for my own benefit. I barely post here anyways.

Since you're honest and not projecting like a retard, it's ok I guess.

By the way, if anyone asks, /jp/ never helped you. Ever.

Sage doesn't means what you think it means.
Realize this and you will get along with /jp/ fine.
I'm telling you this because you are not an asshole like all the other people who get mad about sage
