To be fair, Ikari did say he was "just drawing speculations and mindless criticism that really won't matter in the end for now". Happens every time a new game is on the way; there's always going to be a couple people who start hand-wringing that the game is going to be terrible and "we're freaking doomed". It's the magic of pre-game speculation.
...More or less that. I'm actually excited about the game, you can bet your money on the fact I'm sure as hell gonna get it. I'll play it, and guess what? I'll love it.
I'm just whining about things I don't like because there's so many ''I can't wait for this game'' comments (I'm part of those!) that there's no point in adding more.
You guys are tired of my negativity? Fine, I'll go with what I like;
1) The sprites are gorgeous. They're really pretty.
2) The backgrounds? Just like the sprites, I love them.
3) The music is once again orgasmic.
4) I'm a lover of little details, and seeing Marisa use her broom to fly and each character having a unique special bar makes me smile.
5) The controls are going to be great. Obviously. I mean, it's Touhou.
6) It's Touhou
7) DJ Miko crew and Mama Byakuren family are my two favorite groups in all of the Touhou Universe. I'm ecstatic to see the character roster.
8.) Nice looking projectiles and effects, just like Hisoutensoku.
Seriously I could go on like this FOREVER.
