Return, just to get the largely non-action chapter out of the way. If it's anything like it is in LAL, anyway. My second vote is for Hourai, because of certain... things that connect it with its original LAL chapter.
Did you bring a light?
...No...

Return: 1
Three days and only one vote? I blame my obscurity and my bad early presentation.

It's decided. The first chapter is Return. Please wait warmly while I play.

Return Chapter - Part 1 - It's Touhou Dead Space

Let me ask you a question: How many of you has played Touhou survival horror fangame?

Leon゠Helsing

  • 0 - The Fool

I didn't even know that Touhou survival horror games were a thing until you mentioned them. :V

By the way, I heard that Reisen in canon is actually antisocial to a degree (though I don't know to what degree exactly), so it's somewhat understandable that she gets cast as the grumpy veteran here.

Great! Now let there be support (and translation) and screeeeeeam!!!!

Yeah, but antisocial doesn't always mean a jerk. The reason why she's a jerk is because she's direct expy of Darth in Live-A-Live who pretty much acts the same way to Cube. Though if you watched Terminator before or genre-savvy you probably know the reason why Reisen is dick to Shang.

Return Chapter - Part 2 - How do you One-up a Freaking Behemoth?

Uuum... dinosaurs? I mean, we already seen dinosaurs on land in 1993 and a super-dino in 2015. Dinosaur in SPACE gotta be awesome right?

Dunno if that was a joke or not, but 2001: A Space Odyssey released in 1968.
Anyway, to be honest zombies feel kind of underwhelming compared to the behemoth from the source material.

Who doesn't know 2001: A Space Odyssey and HAL-9000? To be honest, I thought it was released on 80s.
Everyone loves zombies! There's a lot of zombies related media: Left 4 Dead, Resident Evil, The Walking Dead, etc. Behemoth? Zombies are harder, they have numbers, Behemoth relies too much on element of surprise in my opinion.

Considering we had a chapter that had only one single battle, I think we should try one that's all battles this time. I'm gonna vote for Cirno.

I could say Hourai again, but you know what?! Ice Fairy!

Considering the Wrestler chapter it's based on, I wouldn't say "easy". Short, yes; easy, not so much...

...No...

There's a little difference between Wrestler chapter and Ice Fairy. Masaru stuck at lv 2 throughout the entire chapter while Cirno gained a level for every boss she beats. Plus, look at the title.

Ice Fairy Chapter - Tsuda + Abise-Geri = WIN

These two moves allows you to breeze through the entire chapter

Hourai, Gatekeeper, Wild West, Wild, and Netherworld.

Holy shit, Cirno's the game breaker of this game? :getdown:

Anywat, let's throw Zent a bone and vote for Hourai this time.

Being a Touhou fangame, I'm kind of surprised they'd do that... But that's not a bad thing at all~

And yes, I'm voting Hourai. BV

Congratulation Zent, you finally got your wish, and this chapter is my second favorite. This should be a blast to play. Please wait warmly while I play.

Hourai Chapter - Part 1 - They Fight Crime!

Remember when I said I can't 100% this game. Well, I'm sucks at maze and deciphering puzzle.

I think Al-kaiser is a reference to SaGa Frontier 1, particularly Red's scenario (written as Alkaiser there).

Zengar Zombolt

  • Space-Time Tuning Circle - Wd/Fr
  • Green-Red Divine Clock
I'd totes watch an anime based on Red's scenario.

I didn't realized that until you point this out. I guess my research is still lacking.

Is Prototype Vlad an optional superboss? Maybe you're supposed to take it on at a higher level?

I think I've partially figured out that solution to the forest secret:
Spoiler:
Cardinal directions, or up/down/left/right. Which letter/syllable connects to what, though, I'm not sure on that. "U MA HI SA = ? ? ? ?"

Also, I'm going to have to agree with Leon on Prototype Vlad. Happy grinding!

Level doesn't matter. It's skills that matter. Mokou's next skill (Guess it's name) is obtained
Spoiler:
when she is all by herself
, Kaguya's skill stops at Hourai Barrage, and YDMT-IV is useless against superbosses.

Still, I appreciate your help, Zent.

Screw it!!!

Eh, no matter. You won anyway. Just needed to up your attack power and all.

...Of course to do that you had to solve the rabbits' riddle (oh man, i was onto something there, just... not exactly what I thought) and beat a tougher foe. Heh. BV

Do wonder what other superbosses there are... LAL only really had two.

To be honest, I cheat though, I could never clear the maze by myself.

Every chapter which has JRPG element has optional superboss. Wild Chapter has an age-inappropriate superboss with its own theme song. Netherworld has a badass superboss with his own theme song (though I'm not sure if I can ever reach him). And Gatekeeper has a superboss (which is easy to guess) with her own theme song. Let me give you a hint: The superboss theme in Gatekeeper is T.A. Live Was Her?

Hourai Chapter - Part 3 - Immortals

I guess this is the end...

Chapter left:
Gatekeeper, Wild West, Wild, and Netherworld.

No RE-Al-Phoenix though? :V
By the way, there are quite a few separate heroic sacrifice scenes in FFV, the most notable of which are
Spoiler:
Galuf against Exdeath (where Galuf keeps on fighting despite being at 0 HP)
and [spoilers]Gilgamesh against Necrophobe[/spoiler].

Anyway, I'd like to vote for the Netherworld chapter. By the way, what's the requirement for that particular chapter's superboss?

Kinda curious on this "age-inappropriate" superboss in Wild
Spoiler:
(Is it a sinsack, perhaps?)
, and it might be better to do it now and bleach your brain after it than wait for later, so... Wild.

Well, unless someone else chips in with the same vote as either one of us, you might have to do a coin flip here.
