Am I the only one commenting on the nice ZUN hat under the game's jewel case? I rather loved how the right side is scribbled with a space-ship and stars.

That is so ZUN-y.  :3

After game2011 pointed out something on the silhouette, I took another look. At the time, I was on my phone, and tilting it, I could see something like a scythe the character was holding.

Could this possibly mean we'll get a reaper that can actually reap?

I believe that the character on the cover may be the Extra boss. For the past 4 games all of the final bosses have been extremely bulky (in clothing, of course :V), but this one seems somewhat... skinny. It could be Kyouko, since that "wavy scythe"-thing is actually part of the cover. It's wayyy to big to be a weapon... (unless ZUN is now going to give all his new touhous ridiculously large weapons. Memes ahoy!)

Oh, and will there be Last Words? I kinda just realized that there weren't any Last Spells in the demo, unlike IN.

Oh, and obligatory GET HYPE comment!

Seeing that ZUN shown both Ex and final bosses on the cover in early games, this is hard to guess.

No way a second stage boss is going to become an EX or final boss. Unless ZUN uber trolls us. Therefore Kyoko holding a weapon? Don't think so. And what do you mean ridiculously large weapons? Haven't you seen Reimu's Gohei on the title screen?

Then I guess it's possible for a 1st stage or 3rd stage boss to become an EX-boss?

True.. true...
All we can do for now is guess, though.

I just wanted to clarify something. While these lines may seem like a scythe, they probably aren't (I just realized I hadn't made myself clear). Seriously... a weapon like this would be too big.
(I'd be hilarious if they were, but nothing is confirmed yet)

To be honest, I don't really think the Final/Extra boss is going to be Kyouko (unless it's a Moriya Shrine Myoren Temple conspiracy) but for the meantime Rika, Alice, and Kogasa say hi.
We don't know, yet.
Shame, though I really wouldn't expect anyone to know yet.

Yeah, I'm really not seeing a scythe there.

It is fun, though, reading the speculations of others as the hour gets nearer. Especially seeing everyone projecting their own hopes and dreams into the silhouette of a jewel case.

Nah. The silhouette looks a bit too feminine to be Konngara. And it lacks a horn :V

Actually, there is something visible that could be a horn, and depending on perspective it would even be in the correct position. The cloths wouldn't match at all, though, not even counting the whole no-lower-body thing. Then again, Yuka and Alice both looked way different in their reappearances. Then again then again, there is no reason to assume ZUN is going to bring any characters back except for wishful thinking.  :P

Well, the girl in the silhouette looks as though she has got ears instead. And what's more, she has a short, bob-cut like hairstyle from what I can see. Konngara sports a ponytail :derp:

I'm not saying that she's Konngara, mind you.

EDIT: Eh, forget what I said...  Didn't notice you're the same person I replied to just now...

Okay then. I'd like to know which patterns in Stage 4, 5 and 6 require memorization? In IN that is. The only one springing to mind is Hourai Jewel. If he makes another one of those however, I'll book passage on a plane to Japan and knock his bloody head off.  :V

Maybe you should write him an email now. There's still time for him to re-program the game just the way you'd like it, and I'm sure he'd be more than willing to listen to your concerns and take them seriously.

Surely you jest!


Just a bit longer...
I bet that the final boss is someone we've never heard of before.
