pretty new to touhou and i'd like to play some decent games that will give me a good feel of the characters and their personalities, etc.

where should i start?

>> No.6310772

Flower view if you want to see characters from different games I guess

Touhou is infinite. There is no beginning and no end. Dive right in.

>a good feel of the characters and their personalities

The games don't really do a good job of that, since everyone just acts like assholes to each other.

Pic kind related.

Start with the 6th game, only play on lunatic mode.

Not Alice is way better

really? that's interesting, thanks for help

>> No.6310805

start with embodiment of scarlet devil.

>> No.6310813

Skip all fan material and the following games: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Perfect Cherry Blossom, Imperishable Night, Subterranean Animalism

>> No.6310826

The canon is really, really thin and spread out. It'll take you a while of playing/reading to get a sense of all of it. Enjoy that aspect.

Fixed.

There's over twelve games in the series, I just cut out the shittiest ones.

>> No.6310876

>>6310847
they aren't shitty at all, you just think so since you hate the fans they supposedly make.

>> No.6310881

Keep in mind that Alice is a canon tsundere.

Imperishable Night is a pretty good place to start. haters gonna hate

It has the best music, good spellcards, and in my opinion, the best characters.

>> No.6310907

Also, spell card practice. Its a lot easier getting the hang of some of the basics by dying repeatedly on a card you don't get if you don't have to clear to it every time.

>> No.6310929

>>6310883
None of those make it a good place to start. It has several massive problems that make it a poor place to start.

>> No.6310933

You said you wanted to know about the characters?
This is all you need to know, and you can be /jp/ quality.
