Someday, just like the CH(Ex)N experiment, I'm going to make an ongoing updated breakdown of the Touhou cast by hair-color.

And even fewer people remembers that she was playable in both IaMP and SWR, and helps out Marisa is SA =/.
I have mixed feelings about IaMP and SWR. Can't really explain =S

To many blondes and err... greens. Touhou has a weird distribution of hair colour.

There is no such concept as "too many greens."

In other news, PC-98 needs more fanart above all else. I could not find ANY art better than the two I just posted for Meira and Sara. Isn't it sad Sara? ;_;
nintendonut888: Hey Baity. I beat the high score for Sanae B hard on the score.dat you sent me. X3
Baity: For a moment, I thought you broke 1.1billion. Upon looking at my score.dat, I can assume that you destroyed the score that is my failed (first!) 1cc attempt on my first day of playing. Congratulations.

This is the most bizarre complaint I've ever heard.

ZUN will include the colors that lie beyond the visual spectrum for awesomeness; only the wise people will be able to see them..

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.

UFO's final boss will have... strangely coloured hair, unlike any the world has ever seen. Only Yukari will be able to look upon it and recognize it; everyone else will only be able to call it "a colour out of space".

next step: Kourin will find a new artifact; a strange, special clothing made of mystical, very thin gold fibers, said in some legends to have been crafted by humble, skilled artisans for an emperor. Such clothing has now acquired the property of greatly amplifying one's inner abilities/powers, but it also alter the personality of its user.

Kourin somehow finds it, considering that it's seemingly near-invisible to him and, having difficulties trying to understand its origins, tries it, when he notices an increase in his physical strength..

ZUN "forgets" the games before the game he is currently working on. Or at least, he's done so lately.
Regarding score threads: For the time being, I'm not going to be online much; I would suggest that you simply do as you normally do, because I will come back and I will want those threads when I do.

You mean by taking a boss from Touhou 10 and making her playable in Touhou 12?

(EDIT: The above statement was intended to be irony, i.e., playable Sanae in Touhou12 is an example of the opposite of lgb's remark. This message brought to you by the Society for the Irony Impaired.)

You know I'm really getting tired of these ZUN is so crap posts. I was really impressed with the level of consistancy between the written works and I think people are being dicks over stuff that on the grand scale of continuity are actually relatively minor. I don't think it's down to a genuine view or opinion just misdirected cynicism you get in a lot of fandom nowadays. For what he does, he does well.

Well, ZUN said that Mima won't come back until the scenario give her a chance.
I mean, Yuka came back in TH09 because it was about flowers, that's all.

There's one thing for sure, Mima is the key to understand the timeline between TH05 and TH06.

Maybe that's the reason why ZUN didn't bring her back.

Says who? Mima actually was very insignificant to the plot by MS. Then again, the same could be said for Yuka.

Personally, I don't care if Mima ever comes back. There are better PC-98 characters to moan about never returning anyway.

yup, like Sariel (my PC98 favourite)
However, ZUN said that TH01 was only a test game, so it's hopeless.

It'll be awesome when UFO 1.0 comes out and not only is Mima not there but the Five Magic Stones are the Stage 4 boss. Then again, Mima's return would at least stop the whinebitchmoan chorus about her absense. Jesus, it's like they think ZUN is willfully holding her back just to personally torment them. Not talking about all Mima fans here, mind you; just the ones who seem to think they're owed her return.

The tongue-ghosts made the games impossible for me to play at first because I was laughing too hard. I adore them.

Having seen this video (even though I've played the PC-98 games before.. I had this idea just now), I thought: People should do an Armed Police Batrider game for Touhou. And this should be the first stage. (or last one, if you're thinking about Touhoupachi Daioujou)

And it would have guest bosses/playable characters and a boss rush mode, too.
