Aren't we going to have to stop calling Reimu and Sanae mikos since now
Spoiler:
there's a new touhou called Miko?

Anyway, while I'm not a fan of the new danmaku and music, the plot seems pretty awesome. If it is hinting that there'll be a

HOLY WARRRR
, that means that the next game is going to be amazing!
Spoiler:
(and we'll even get to see more Moriya vs. Myoren vs. Hakurei vs. th13's lolis action)

Spoiler:
Oh, and Nue's last spellcard is pretty similar to Flandre's "And then there will be none". More Nue = Flandre evidence for the fanbase!~

I realized that, if Trance'd at the right moment, you'll get a bunch of bombs. On a near perfect run in Normal, I got 5 lives and ohgodsomany bombs. That means, in order to successfully Ten Desires, one must learn how to not waste bombs. Use bombs wisely, my friends. BV

The only Sanae ending I got
Spoiler:
depicts Sanae re-studying history to figure out what Miko did ages back, while Suwako's all like "FOOD SANAE GIMME FOOD"

How do you get two different endings anyways? Are they random?

I did!
Spoiler:
Though I can see it as a normal hand now. And then the crazy idea [I think some religions see it this way as well?] of using your left hand for doing shenanigans is bad, which then lead to me saying "Miko, you're trying that hard to be a saint, aren't ya?" 8U But then again I got this idea late at night when I should've been sleeping.

Spoiler:
Presumably Nue told her about Reimu and what Reimu's job entails.  Her dialogue with Reimu and Sanae indicates she was very aware of the Hakurei Shrine Maiden before they arrived.  However, she had yet to SEE this Hakurei Shrine Maiden, as she mistakes Sanae to be the Hakurei Shrine maiden in her dialogue with Sanai.

Basically, Nue etc told her about Reimu, but she still hadn't seen or met Reimu in person yet (hence mistaking Sanai for Reimu)

...that doesn't explain how she knew how to transform into Reimu while fighting Sanae, though.  Hmm.

The same way every major power in the world knows Reimu. It's clear that among the higher-ups in the youkai world, she's quite famous

Umm...Kaguya? Don't blindly trust the Wiki. :P

Also, in regards to the final boss' art, it's possible that the left hand is drawn correctly, and we're seeing the pinky instead of the thumb. ...That is one painful position to be in, but the same could be said for Byakuren's dislocated shoulder in UFO. :V

I also noticed that the dagger-type danmaku has a smaller hitbox than the older ones and

Hmm... Any idea when to Trance outside boss battles to get the best out of the purple/green spirits? Also, how many Extends do you guys usually get? I got 3 so far...

Just save Trance for when said bomb/life-fragment fairies appear. You may need to run through Stage Practice so you remember where they all are, but you can get quite a few extra bombs this way. Using up bombs during bosses also means you can get an extra Trance or two to capitalize on the bomb/life drops after Spellcards.

I remember I just barely reached the fifth Extend (18 fragments) before the end of my Lunatic run. You kinda have to work for it, but TD gives almost as many lives as EoSD and MoF. ZUN himself recognized that this game still gives fewer lives overall though. :V

By the way. The final spell card of stage 5 is the best in the entire game.

Any objections?

It's interesting to see that
Spoiler:
the plot of the Touhou games is starting to evolve from simply "someone starts incident, Reimu and co. beat her up, everyone becomes friends and has tea."  If we have a HOLY WAR on our hands, it'll probably be fleshed out in more detail in Touhou 14.  That, or the plot will be resolved in a decimal game (Touhou 13.5?), so that ZUN can use a new plot for the next shmup.

If that's the case, another fighter would be nice.  I wanna see Yoshika vs. Yuyuko, Miko vs. Byakuren, and Mamizou vs. Ran. :]

I don't particularly like any of the characters this time around, but that doesn't stop me from finding the plot around them intriguing. Gonna take some time to absorb, of course.
