What would've happened if Okina were the one introduced during the beginning of windows era instead of Yukari? Also replace the shikigamis with the dancers.

How the fandom could've went?

[Anonymous No.]

People would be making threads about Yukari and her shikigami after Touhou 16.

You're not actually expecting serious answers to some ''what if'' question like that, right?

There are several reasons why Yukari is popular as she is and how she affect the fandom. Powerlevel discussion and being the first sexy youkai BBA, for example.

Okina happens to be similiar with Yukari yet quite different, people even initially dislike her due to that and because she is new. So if Okina and Yukari were to switch places, things might definitely turned out different with the fandom and opinion about those two (and their servants) being placed in different era and state of fandom, and that's what I want to hear your thoughts regarding that. It doesn't have to be serious (that's asking too much for /jp/).

And don't say that we don't have much info about Okina yet. Yukari was popular even when information about her was scarce and filled with speculation.

That's the point that I was making.
We don't have crystal balls so you can try to guess how the fandom could've went but you're just wasting time, doing something like that doesn't have count as speculation.

Man, just use your imagination to come up with something silly, jeez. I would expect an answer like "there won't be hot futa Yukari doujins but instead we got a lot of 2hu poledancers doujin" and that's fine. I didn't made this for serious discussion.

But alright, I guess that means this thread is a failure. As if /jp/ never have a thread about 2hu waifu scenario and has no Yukari fans to joke around.

We definitely need more pictures of Okina molesting Marisa.

So now Marisa has her own hag to stalk and molest her just like Reimu!

That's probably intentional. They're all from the moon or door realm.

Because you got into Touhou during UFO-TD era.

Less people would complain about the boot hats, I mean, if ZUN could just put practically the same sleep hat on 5 characters on the early windows era (Yukari, Yuyuko, Flandre, Remi and Patchouli), he could just put boot hats and they wouldn't get so much hate. They're still fucking horrible boot hats tho

Now I know I should've said "what do you think" instead of "what would've happened" as if I'm specifically asking to predict certain outcome, even though I'm just asking for opinion.
Sorry, I'm not very smart.

I would expect more jokes around the fact that there are two characters named Mai, and Junko would be known as bootleg Okina.

>>17721870
I don't think so. I don't see people say that the IN characters feel out of place even if they're also from the moon, for example.

>>17721908
Sounds about right, I got into Touhou when LoLK came out and I've never had any of these "feel out of place" sentiments. I can't wait until the days I start saying the series went downhill and ZUN is a hack.

>>17721944
I dunno if the prompt in the OP is to switch the releases of HSiFS and PCB or just Okina and Yukari, but I think a modern day PCB would have people complain about all the sleep hats and rag on it for being too easy.

>>17723375
I'd say so, hell even Ran could count.

People have been saying that about 2hus since MoF. It all depends on when you start keeping up with the series.

>>17721848
I think the opposite, TD and UFO seems out of place more that DDC

Seriously? That's super interesting. Were you able to play all games yet? If so, which ones are your favourites?
I'm genuinely interested what someone has to say about them without wearing nostalgia googles like me.

Touhou would probably be less popular than it is today.

I've played all the mainline games and read all the manga, but never touched the spinoffs or text works aside from CiLR. 1cc'd about half of them. I tend to separate my enjoyment between gameplay and everything else (music, world, atmosphere, etc.) because of oddballs like EoSD and TD where I love one aspect but despise the other.

I would say my list is something like this. Keep in mind this is entirely personal enjoyment and not too objective:
Gameplay: 8 > 10 > 4 > 5 > 7 > 6 > 16 > 11 > 12 > 15 > 14 > 13 > 2 > 9 > 3 > 1
Everything else: 13 > 5 > 12 > 10 > 3 > 4 > 15 > 8 > 7 > 16 > 14 > 11 > 9 > 6 > 2 > 1

On second thought, HRtP and SoEW should be higher on the everything else list. I would put HRtP between DDC and SA, and SoEW between HRtP and DDC.

HRtP and SoEW have really good music, the bosses, though hard to see, are pretty unique too.

[Anonymous No.]

>>17729049
I've been wondering if me placing IN as my favourite was just nostalgia, but this pretty much settles it. I actually agree with your gameplay list, though I'd place MoF below PCB.
Not sure what all went into your "Everything else" list to have TD up front. Care to elaborate?

Yeah, I agree with you on the music. HRtP has a solid soundtrack overall and SoEW has amazing stage themes and a couple good boss themes, but nothing else I really like.
Bosses, though, honestly feel really generic to me in SoEW and I just can't stand playing HRtP at all. At least SoEW has some funny dialogue, I honestly find these characters more memorable than just about any early stage bosses in later games.

>>17729168
TD has my favorite soundtrack in the series, the same fantasy/dreamlike atmosphere from the PC98 games that I loved, and I like the cast more than most others. I like the historical references, and later works made these characters interesting, funny, or likeable/love to hate.
For what it's worth, now that I think about it I would reorder my gameplay top five as 8 > 4 > 7 > 10 > 5. MS has the same random walling problems and weird hitboxes EoSD has (albeit not as bad) and I forgot about the MoF bomb system. I still think they're all really close, though, and adore all of them.

These Sin Sacks wouldn't have existed since they are originated from that Yukari video?
