"Interrupt data" is used whenever you have a saved game in progress available, so it seems like you won't have to start from the beginning each session. Either the game will be longer or there will be some other need for it.

Jumping on the hype train for Reisen. I just hope she isn't a joke character.

Playable Reisen? Oh man, I think this is the first time in a couple of years that I've been even a little bit excited about a new Touhou game.

Hmm, the game seems to have an "experiencing past and future"theme... perhaps there'll be time loops.

Woow, this was quite a surprise. Is it me or the art gets more stylish for each new game? Anyway I wonder what changes made ZUN to the gameplay, I'm looking forward to challenges, I remember I played DDC for like two months until I unlocked all the extras and spell cards. This could get really interesting story-wise too if we take into account the name of the game, I wonder if we will go to the capital or something!

Also playble Reisen and Sanae! Yes! I'm glad to see Sanae back but Reisen is quite a surprise, first time we see a youkai alone trying to solve an incident anyway I'm kinda happy this doesn't turned out to be a Phantasmagoria, I think Phantasmagorias are cool and all but are easily forgetable

ZUN sure is taking risks here:
- First time a full youkai being playable in the main (full numbered) series that isn't a partner to an at-least-part-human
- If he really introduces a save system (still waiting to see what that "Interrupt Save Detected" thing is about) of any sort, it will likely annoy some of the fanbase. Although I suspect it is another form of continues.

On the bright side, this could be said about literally any new thing ZUN introduces to the series.

Indeed, and I really love how that doesn't stop him (at all) from trying new and weird stuff

If the storyline really does involve something to do with the moon, it's too bad Sakuya isn't a playable character.  Would be nice to get some clarification on that whole Lunarian thing with her. (of course, there's always the chance such a thing doesn't actually exist in the first place)

About time-loops:
I doubt there will be something like this. My guess is that Eirin's medicine revealed that the Lunarians where planning some sort of attack against humans and youkai (Maybe to get revenge about Yukari fooling them in CiLR and SSiB?), and sent Reisen to do something aout it.

I hope there will be at least one of the Watatsuki. If not Yorihime (too strong, cheater, etc), at least Toyohime. As the Phantasm Boss perhaps.
Not because i like them a lot, but given their positions, they are more or less Yukari and Reimu's equivalent on the Moon. And because Reisen was their pet.

Also, first Mokou in ULiL, now Reisen. ZUN is really bringing pre-MoF characters back. I'm happy.

Suuuurely there is a reason for that?

I thought maybe the 紺珠 shares some themes with Hijiri but my searches in Chinese wikis and Chinese historical texts doesn't show anything except maybe "Something long ago forgotten has come about" like how Hijiri come out after being sealed for so long and her certain spellcard that a lot of us remembered from long ago....

... Perhaps ZUN is going to put in something that he forgot to put in TH12?  :V
Doesn't seem to go along with the Lunar theme though

The news made my day. This probably won't rekindle my shmupping drive, but things will be interesting in many ways, that's for sure.

Jumping on the Reisen hype as well. Her previous playable appearances didn't do her justice. Here's for hoping that we'll see her shine here. Her (not so) recent manga appearance showed that it's very much possible.

But you know what I'm waiting for the most? Music. More recent entries were all awesome, it's safe to say that ZUN won't disappoint.

In some screenshots, bullets within a radius around the player character turns orange.

New Touhou game ?! New mechanism ?!!! PLAYABLE REISEN ?!!!!! *drools* When it comes to games in general, I am fine with the ones with simple mechanism but elaborate ones makes me curious too, I'll be looking forward to what this'll have that the older games don't have. I'm definitely looking forward to playing this (Maybe Reisen is gonna have some Youmu-like gimmick)

With this we also get to see that ZUN is totally fine with breaking traditions (bye bye "patterns" theory) and is really, really fond of the moon related things
Going off the previous point, there's a decent chance that the Watatsuki sisters will be featured.
This seems like a great occasion to do so, ZUN more or less mentionned that they don't get enough interraction with other characters and are, in all honesty, not very memorable. I don't quite buy the "Watatsuki too overpowered --> no game for them", because Yorihime pretty much did nothing else but bomb spamming in SSiB. It'll be awesome to see them in this game IF ZUN'll plan to, but introducing a more new characters works fine too

Also, poor Sakuya lol

On fanon news: People on twitter / pixiv are going crazy with Reisen's announcement.

From mocking artwork to "Really, am I playable" type of display.

Bearing in mind 13 had little to do with ghosts, and 12 had nothing at all to do with aliens, I wonder if 15 will have the same kind of sting in the (fluffy) tail.

Nope, I guess.

The one with Reimu, huh? Doesn't seem to be the bullet behavior that's affected by range, so maybe it's the type that activates when you get close?
Or is that the game's gimmick?
Btw, those altered bullets look like carrots

No Phantasmagoria? :(

The danmaku looks too DDC-alike either, which I didn't really enjoy.

Still, a standard danmaku game is really good news either way, and with Sanae back and Reisen playable? Even better!

Oh boy oh boy oh boy playable Reisen!! Such lovely news~! ❤ ❤ ❤

I'm really, really excited for the game. ^^ This will be a good Reitaisai. We'll be getting both the full version of a fighter along with the demo of a main game. Just like how it happened in 2013. I still have fond memories of that year~  :3

Sweetness and love~ ♥
