Touhou Introduction Thread for Dummies.
« on: October 30, 2009, 03:08:25 PM »
We should create a thread to introduce people to Touhou. "Spread the love of Touhou to the newcomers in the site!" is exactly what I'm thinking.

Arranged in no particular order...

Translated Video about 'What is Touhou':

*The picture you see here is safe. The ads in the website may not be safe-for-work. 2% of the website ain't SFW either. Take care.
**Unzan from Touhou 12 and the Unnamed Giant Catfish from 12.3 is not mentioned in the pic.
   Neither are the PC-98 characters from Touhou 1 Highly Responsive to Prayers to Touhou 5  Mystic Square.
   Here they are based on their official portrait art.
Unzan

Unnamed Giant Catfish.


Leave a post here if there's anything I missed or I can improve on.

why leave the PC-98 characters out? :(
Other than this, nice initiative :D
neku: now for something important.
Translations.
How much time do you guys think it will take for HM to be translated? Besides everyone's story modes and the whole menus, there's also the fact that the way HM's programmed is different from all other games. I bet it'll take two months.

lusvik: I don't mind about playing HM in japanese. The language of punching other people is international.
