What was your first Touhou game?
Mine was pretty much Double Dealing Character and I was so bad it and I still am.
-
If we include doujins, it would be Koumajou Densetsu. If not, then Hisoutensoku. If we exclude the official spinoffs too, then it would be EoSD.
-
Highly Responsive to Prayers.
-
Overall would be EoSD.
Getting EasyBlocked by Sakuya for the first time was a great beginner moment
damn it Sakuya stop looking so smug
-
My first game was Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, I chose it because I thought it would be easier than starting with the shooters. I had a lot of difficulty with it though.
My first shooter game was Phantasmagoria of Flower View, which is still not quite ZUN's classic shooter games. I can't remember which of those I played next, Embodiment of Scarlet Devil I think.
-
EoSD for me too. The first time i got an "Ice shotgun" in the face from Cirno was the very moment i understood that Touhou was going to be HARD. :V
-
Mountain of Faith, which had just come out when I first explored what Touhou was after seeing people make crossovers and references to it over on Desuchan.
First impressions: Thought the backgrounds were pretty and the music really good, but when those character portraits came up I was like "Well this is interesting." It was when I got to Stage 4 that I was hooked, and started reading up on canon (a process that still continues).
-
The PCB demo. I played the demos of EoSD, PCB, and IN before I got any of the full games. PCB stage 4 was quite an eye opener after "mastering" up to stage 3 of three different games.
-
Perfect Cherry Blossom was my first too.
Apparently, quite a few people seem to have this one as their first. I just chose it because out of the collection from EoSD to SA as i felt it had the most 'poetic' title. :v
The one thing that really stayed with me was "Diao Ye Zong (Withered Leaf)". Only while dodging that one Cat Dandruff Spellcard ("Immortal Sage's Rumbling") with this theme playing did i realise how exhilarating this game could be...
-
Without knowing anything about touhou except that it had tons of characters, I decided to play Shoot the Bullet and Double Spoiler as a way to get to know the cast. It did not go well.
-
First one I played was Imperishable Night, although Perfect Cherry Blossom is the only one I've 1cc'd at any difficulty higher than easy.
-
Imperishable Night, I blame the music from 4b and Marisa getting me addicted while dodging colour, breathtaking and thrilling patterns.
-
Perfect Cherry Blossom for me. I at least wanted to be at the skill level necessary to meet the requirements to unlock phantasm.
-
EoSD. Gotta start from the beginning
on Windows
, ya know? Didn't realize how deep the rabbit hole went until about two weeks later.
That first encounter with Sakuya is one of my most memorable gaming moments.
-
Subterranean Animism. While UFO and Hisoutensoku were also out at the time, it was a video of SA that first got me interested. Especially Stage 6's awesome music. :V
-
EoSD. That first stage theme still has a nostalgic ring to me. ♪Ta-tatata-taa-taa-taa, ta-tatata-taa-taa-taa...♪
-
Pretty sure it was EoSD, may have been IN. My first definite memory of playing a Touhou game was definitely of EoSD. I was playing it on my laptop on a bus. And I certainly lost before the end of stage one on easy. :derp:
-
Imperishable Night. My friend who got me into Touhou was obsessing over Mokou a lot at the time, and then the IN LP was featured on the archive so I took the moment to give it a look over. And then decided I had to play it. Yeah, I'm horrible at danmaku but I love it just the same.
-
Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. A friend showed me the game, though I was not impressed by it. Some time later he showed me Mountain of Faith, which I liked. At that point I started liking Touhou Project.
-
EoSD.
I was driven away from the PC-98 games at first.
-
I got interested in Touhou after seeing a few screenshots. I probably would have never gotten into it if I was introduced to the series through the fandom stuff.
I started with the PCB trial. I tried normal first, it was way too easy, so I picked lunatic and that was very easy too. Then I got the full version and realized the slowmode option probably had nothing to do with the "slow" button. Oh. I got the rest of the series shortly after. Having little bullet hell experience, it took a few months for me to get my first lunatic 1cc.
At first I didn't like music that much, then a few hours later I caught myself saying "well, the compositions are good, this guy just needs an arranger". These days I listen to ZUN's music almost exclusively and I own every synth he's known to have used since 2002. How have things changed. I laugh a little every time I think about it.
It's been like 5 years now. I don't think I could stop being a Touhou fan even if I tried.
-
Perfect Cherry Blossom! I was looking for games to feature on my youtube channel and I found a website all about STGs, and they were particularly ecstatic about this one so I grabbed it. I was pretty proud of myself for clearing all three stages with only 2 continues!
And then I looked it up on youtube and discovered I'd only downloaded a demo and there was in a fact a whole series of full games to play, and then I found Phantasm and the trapdoor went under me and I plunged into Ridiculous Fan Hell. <3 Yukari.
-
EoSD for me. I saw someone playing it at a LAN party and gave it a try when he was letting others give it a shot so we could all laugh at how much we all failed at it.
-
When I first got into touhou I tried to go with HRtP but had no idea how to work the emulator so I just ended up buying EoSD and was hooked by how much the game sent me into shock, the shakes!!!!
First doujin game I believe was either the LoT1 demo or Touhou Diablo.
-
My first game was EoSD, but it was too hard for me, so I haven't play it much and went to IN.
-
My first Touhou game was Scarlet Weather Rhapsody. Then I moved to TH 12 then discovered doujin everywhere I can't stop the addiction.
-
My first one was Immaterial and Missing Power, but my first shooter was Double Spoiler and man was that a bad idea
-
My first game was Imperishable Night. I got kicked in the head.
-
Mine was Imperishable Night which is not good for my later Touhou career because it conditioned me with long time reaction for bombs.

I know what you mean, going from IN to PCB and try and deathbomb... Nope.
-
If we count fangames: Super Marisa World.
If not, then PCB. I remember laughing like a maniac and going crazy when I played it for the first time because that was my very first bullet-hell game, and I chose Lunatic as difficulty mode because I thought it'd be easy. I was like HOLY FUCK HOW THEY PLAY THIS CRAP HAHAHAHA WHAT IS THIS AAAAHHHhhhh
-
Mine was Subterranean Animism. I "fondly" remember being utterly destroyed by the third and fifth stages (and I still haven't made it past Orin to this day.)
-
Imperishable Night. Kefit's Youtube video introduced me to the games and it looked really interesting.
-
Mine was TD because for whatever reason, playing the most recent game made sense to me.
The only things I remember were not being able to get to stage 4 without continues (though I started on normal) and I noticed Kogasa's heterochromia the first time I saw her but didn't notice the giant eggplant umbrella for quite a while (guess you could say it surprised me when I saw it). I also remember the first time I got to Miko. Had no lives/bombs left and I saw the ring of arrows shoot and slow down. I thought "I bet something bad will happen if I don't go inside it" so I went inside it. I don't think I need to explain what happened after that ;-;
-
Mine was Highly Responsive to Prayer~
I dunno, I wanted to start from the very beginning.
-
It was EoSD because of U.N. Owen.
-
EoSD
I was really scared too because I had (and still have) very little experience with the genre. I was actually really proud of myself for making it to Patchouli on my first try in normal (after using every continue of course).
-
The MoF demo was, at the time, the only demo I could get working. Even though it ran at 30 FPS and I didn't know what a focus key was, I was blown away by the heart and energy behind those three stages. That was over six years ago, and I'm still hooked as I ever was.
-
EoSD was my first. I don't remember what was it like the first time I played it but darn, it was HARD. And still is, seeing how Normal Mode 1cc is way out of my reach ._.
Still, it remains one of my favourites, mainly due to the fact that it featured Cirno and Sakuya, easily my most beloved characters :D
-
Started with EoSD.
The first one I actually beat was flower view.
-
EoSD. Figured to start from the start of the Windows Era.
Still ain't beaten EoSD cause I'm bad.
First 1CC was IN [Magic team followed by Scarlet Team shortly after]; then TD; then MoF. Not 1CC'ed any other game so far, including DDC which most people say is EZModo. [I can't beat Sukana; I swear she's harder than most of the Stage 6 bosses from other games and is a huge difficulty spike. I struggle a bit on Stage 3 too; although I find Stage 4 easy.]
-
I got introduced to Touhou with a fan game Touhou Wandering Souls, i liked what i saw so i decided to go to the main ones and now i am a full fledged Touhou fan, my first official was EOSD, the first i ever 1CC was IN
-
On the subject of first 1cc's - that would be IN, a fortunate game to clear on Easy Mode. That ending is what really hooked me as far as gameplay goes.
1cc-ing MoF on Easy prompted me to then switch to Normal if I wanted to get similar experiences in the future. That led to 1cc-ing IN, MoF and DDC on Normal - my only Normal 1cc's to date. Have also 1cc'd these games on Easy, as well as UFO.
-
EoSD was my first, because for whatever reason I insisted on going in chronological order. I don't recommend this.

On the other hand, if you're playing Touhou for the gameplay, I highly recommend going in chronological order.
1. It's extremely beneficial to get a handle of EoSD's quirks early on, such as the non-visible character hitboxes (which are technically visible but really small), the weird bullet hitboxes (knives, medium bullets, bubble bullets, etc), and the crazy angled bullets.
2. The appearance of bosses as playable characters is better appreciated when playing in order.
3. IN stage 4 is scary and mind-blowing the first time around when you've played the previous games first.
My first 1CC was EoSD Easy on June 16, 2012, followed by a 5-life PCB Normal 1CC on June 24, 2012 (SakuyaA OP), and finally a 3-life EoSD Normal 1CC on July 12, 2012.
Interestingly, the EoSD Normal 1CC was originally planned to be a 5-life 1CC, but I kept failing. I then switched the lives to 3 and somehow pulled off the 1CC. I've stuck with 3-life 1CCs ever since.

That mystery is simple to answer. In EoSD, you get lives by reaching score thresholds, but starting with more lives gives you a huge score penalty. So by the end of the game, you have less lives than you would normally, since your score is being kept at 1/20 of what it should be. Of course, EoSD is the only windows game this applies to, and ZUN got rid of that feature after IN anyway.
-
EoSD is the only windows game this applies to
PC-98 has this too (LLS and MS AFAIK)
-
PC-98 has this too (LLS and MS AFAIK)
All PC-98 games except for PoDD have adjustable lives in combination with giving out extends at certain score intervals. (Took me quite a while to realize why bombing the stages in HrtP sometimes gives you 2 or more extends and even longer to realize the usefulness of item-chains.)

Huh, never made the connection between the player penalty and the accumulation of lives. I might later do an experiment to determine just how much extends are affected by the player penalty.
-
Highly Responsive to Prayers, and it was as much of a disaster as you would expect.
-
Mine was SWR, and coincidentally it was my first 2D fighter that I took relatively seriously. The days of spamming Dial-A 6A with Aya are still fresh in my mind. It was also the first time I learned the typical command inputs for fighters (QCF/DP), and it was with a keyboard; so I pretty much have trouble playing any normal console fighter we see nowadays. :V
However, my actual first ZUN game was SA, probably because it was the newest one at the time. I thought it was ridiculously hard cause I had to use my first continue on Yamame, even on easy, but it was probably attributed to the fact that I didn't know Focusing existed. Even after I learned how to Focus I still had to use up all my continues and I still ultimately got melted by Okuu in the end (still on easy). I don't know where and when I started playing on Normal and naturally 1cc-ing games, but it happened and now I'm your typical bullet hell gamer.
After awhile I think my first doujin game was Mystical Chain, and it was pretty damn amazing.
Man, it's been 6 years since I started Touhou. It's a little surprising I'm still hooked.
-
EoSD. I tried when I first encountered Cirno and listened to Perfect Math Class.
I still remember grinning stupidly as I listen to Beloved Tomboyish Daughter right when Cirno fired her Icicle Fall. Needless to say, I've still yet to 1CC a Touhou game on Normal.
-
Didn't remember how I stumbled upon the game or when, but my first one is HRtP, though didn't finish it due to YugenMagan being a complete pain to beat. Later found out about Touhou itself from a friend (was thinking that Touhou was just a one-shot widget indie title back then), and decided to try from SoEW.
-
PCB.
That game was a first for me in every way.
First Touhou game, First 1cc Easy, Normal, Lunatic (I skip hard in all games, except maybe in UFO because its just that insane), Extra and Phantasm clear.
First touhou game to get more than 100+ hours of gameplay (For comparation, the follower up is IN with barely 35 hours, the rest are 20ish).
First touhou game to have perfected Lunatic stages 1,2 and 3 (And I would have 4 if it wasnt for a stupid bug).
In the future I also plan it to be my first 1 lc Lunatic as well.
I am happy with it. I would have started with EoSD BUT the whole "No visible hitbox" thing got me.
-
EoSD was my first for pretty much everything Touhou-related. First theme (U.N. Owen), first character (Flan), first play, first 1cc, first (and only) fight against an extra boss, etc.
-
I had watched quite a bit of touhou gameplay before actually playing a game, but the first game I actually tired out was SA because I fell in love with the look of the game compared to the others and I got destroyed by it. It took me about 6 hours to clear the game on easy using continues (but it is SA so take of that what you will). Still my favorite game of the series to this day.
-
imperishable night-- favourite game as well, i'm still in love with every boss character.
-
Scarlet Weather Rhapsody for me. Mainly cause it was a fighting game and made by Tasofro, same guys who did Eternal Fighter Zero so I expected the same engine. EoSD was my first shooter.
-
EoSD, and I'm one of those people who happens to like EoSD. The Music's nice (Albeit the soundfont is a bit shitty), the scoring system isn't too gimmicky, and none of the characters are too forgettable.
-
IaMP if we count non-shmups, EoSD otherwise. I was into Melty Blood Act Cadenza back in the day and found out about IaMP through the friends I played that with, appreciation for Patchouli led me to EoSD soon after.
-
On the sub-category of first Touhou doujin game, mine would be Fortune Star Panic (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8JrDwYmRKk). Weird little puzzle game with literally one song playing on a 40-second loop. Highly addictive and a lot of fun though. And the one song grows on you.
e: What am I talking about? There's a lot of great songs on this game.
-
My very first touhou game? I believe it was Embodiment of The Scarlet Devil. The one that I really sat down and played was Imperishable Night.
-
Imperishable Night
of Knights of the Night.
Yeah, relearning how to deathbomb after that game was fun. As was torturing my unskilled self through the game's Extra Stage.
Don't worry, I haven't gotten much better since then. Only difference now is that I let people watch me be bad on YouTube.

Wait, do the lives you start with in the options ramp up the difficulty?
-
No, he's saying it was a coincidence. Adding extra starting lives in the earlier games gives you a score penalty.
That being said, a "1cc" is generally accepted to be a clear with default lives (3); if you start the game with above default lives, it clearly gives you an advantage, so saying you got a 1cc without mentioning you used extra lives is misleading. Just to mention.
-
My first touhou game is TH 12,3 Hisoutensoku.
My first touhou danmaku game is TH 10 Mountain of Faith, got beaten badly by Kanako.
My first Touhou fangame is Megamari, by God it is hard as heck.
-
Imperishable Night, followed by Perfect Cherry Blossom.
-
Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. Memorizing Stage 4 was extremely satisfying back then. I also accidentally got my first 1cc with additional starting lives. The realization was so infuriating, I'd keep playing until I scored a proper clear on the same day.
-
My first touhou game was The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. I still haven't played PC98, unfortunately.
-
Perfect Cherry Blossom. It's probably the most defining of the entire project, with elements that had set it apart from any shooter I've encountered beforehand.
It had that unique sense from the very moment I flew into Stage 1 and still lingers to this day.
-
EoSD normal was my first, and I 1cc'd it before starting in on any other game iirc.
-
Subterranean Animism was the first 2hu game I ever played, but the last one I 1cc'ed (and still one of my favorites). I overheard some people saying it had the best gameplay, and decided to start out there. Needless to say, I got absolutely destroyed and could not figure out why Parsee kept killing me.
The first one I 1cc'ed was IN, like most people, followed by PCB and then the others. I found those games somewhat easier to get better at not only because of the forgiving mechanics, but also because they had a certain "feel" to them where I wouldn't get frustrated trying again and again.
-
PCB, and that was the only Touhou game I can complete :(
-
IN - which left me thinking that every other version is gonna have deathbomb feature but noooooooooo......
-
I started with EoSD, but that didn't last long. I didn't really get "into" Touhou until I started playing Touhoumon (Merry Version, to be precise.) Since then I've started playing a lot of the original games and various spin-offs. I'm pretty proud to have gotten where I am - I can clear IN and even PCB... On easy >.>
-
DDC - Really attracted to this game due to being the last released at the moment. Also first 1cc. I still hate Benben's curvy lasers. And still think that Yatsu is easier.
-
This is a really strange starter but...
I played GFW first, ehuehuehuehue :D
-

At least you started with a hard one! :D
-
I've only played doujin games so far, but the first Touhou game I ever played was Touhou: Wondering Souls.
-
This is a really strange starter but...
I played GFW first, ehuehuehuehue :D
Wow, that's an atypical first choice on the spectrum of mechanics alone. Pretty impressive! I'm curious to know what games you picked up from there. Were more typical mechanics easier for you to use?
-

Well, of course. GFW is a fun game, but even until now I still can't get used to different shot button and the freezing mechanic (I haven't beat the Normal mode, mind you). I mean, it's hard to focus between dodging and freezing. I don't even remember why I played that as my first 2hu, it was prolly the first game I encountered, so I played it right away.
I think I played PCB after that, and normal mode taught me a lot of things. On a side note, SA and DDC were the last 2hu shmup I collected.
-
If I remember correctly, I started playing EoSD first. Tried normal run and........got bullied by Cirno (Please don't look down on me. I was noob for on my early tries) :P
I gave up and so I played the Hisoutensoku lol
Later on I got back on it and guess what. I survived it to stage 5. Sakuya was scary though :ohdear:
-
EoSD for me. I still remember how frustrated I was when I got to Stage 5 in Normal mode.
-
My first game was IN, hence my liking towards
the loonies Eientei and the rest of the IN crew. I found my first attempt at Stage 4 on Normal thrilling but nerve-wracking at the same time.
-
I believe my very first game was DDC; I guess it's because it was the newest one out at the time.
Let me tell you, DDC is not a game you would wanna start out on, it's one of the harder games out there, for me at least (assuming you don't abuse the generous POC and bomb virtually everything you see. I didn't even know about the POC, because when I played DDC, my Touhou knowledge was at 1%).
-
I think mine was Perfect Cherry Blossom?? I didn't know how to focus but managed to beat the demo on Normal regardless somehow..
-
Imperishable Night was my first. Music was so good and game was fun. Needed more so I played all the games in order after that. I actually can not remember why I tried IN though.
-
Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. And my favorite character comes from there. I love that game to death.
My second game was PCB, but from there it gets kinda hazy what I played and in what order.
-
My first TH game, IN. Staring at the PC, without losing focus on the game. Continued against Marisa at first try.
-
MoF. I have yet to Normal 1cc one but I say probably either it or PCB.
-
Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, because I always try to start series at the beginning when I can (and at the time I didn't know about the emulators for PC-98). It ended up being my 3rd Normal 1cc after the much easier PCB and LLS.
-
The game that first made me aware of Touhou was Super Marisa World, back when it was quite popular and had videos all on Youtube (I believe around that time, Immaterial and Missing Power also released).
Didn't actually play any of the games until a friend gave me Imperishable Night to try out. And I didn't really get into the series until I decided to play Mountain of Faith on a whim.
So to recap, my first Touhou doujin game was Super Marisa World and my first legit Touhou game was Imperishable Night (which, to this day, I think is a great game for beginners).
-
Mountain of Faith...
Ah, the memories...
I still cant beat it. :V
-
my first game was swr, i think i just played it because i thought shmups were boring lol. then my first shooter was eosd :3
-
My first game was Touhou 8 Imperishable Night, I can remember when it first came out. It was hard, but I got better and it was fun beating the extra stage!
-
I have stated it in another thread, but I'll post it again.
First Touhou game is Lotus Land Story, thanks to Bad Apple.
I immediately played on Normal, and I can do it fine, first 1cc is about one or two months later on EoSD.
-
Mountain of Faith. Perfect Cherry Blossom ended up being my first Normal 1CC though.
-
My first game I played was PofV. I had no idea what i was doing and didn't understand the system very well. A bunch of us on Talesforum would play against each other way back when.
After PofV, it was Imperishable Night.
-
MoF, it was the start of something beautiful.
-
I started out when I stumbled across Embodiment of Scarlet Devil back in high school. Played the crap out of it until the computer I had it on died, and I proceeded to forget about Touhou for a few years until a friend told me to get Soku. That ended up re-sparking my interest in Touhou. I think I was better at the games back then than I am now. I remember getting to the fight with Sakuya back then, but now when I pick up EoSD I can't even get past Patchouli.
-
EoSD. I heard about Cirino's reputation of being an idiot and assumed that she would be an easy boss.
I was wrong. I was horribly, horribly wrong.
-
EoSD, because I wanted to play them "in order." Eventually I read a blog that suggested playing multiple games as a way to build "dodging instincts," so the day after I could bomb and continue my way past Remilia, I placed orders for 4 more games: PCB because it was next, MoF because it was the start of the Faith arc, DDC because it was new, and IaMP because it was a fighter. My current method is "you know which game sounds fun...?"
I heard about Cirno's reputation of being an idiot and assumed that she would be an easy boss.
This. I got so messed up by Icicle Fall - Normal that I still feel a little prickly when people make fun of her for Icicle Fall - Easy.
-
EoSD first, then IN after having trouble with it. PCB is the first I 1cced on Normal difficulty and settings.
-
I was directed to Hisoutensoku at some point. The game didn't have a translation back in those days. I thought Meiling was the main character along with Cirno and Sanae.
-
EoSD first.
-
Like many others, I started on EoSD because of wanting to start at the beginning. Not regarding the PC-98 era, since I thought they were pretty outdated, and was a bit too lazy to set them up, but now that I've played through all of them, EoSD has sorta become that for me too. It's funny though, when I started EoSD, I could never figure out the hitbox, but after playing the others for a while, the hitbox got sort of ingrained in my memory, and now I feel EoSD has some of the easier main stages, the only one out of all of them I can consistently 1cc. Personally, I would recommend starting with any other of the Touhou shooters ( except SA ) if only because of the visible hitbox. ( I know there's a patch for a hitbox for EoSD, but I'm not a huge fan of patching extra features in my games. )
-
Perfect Cherry Blossom, I watched a video of the Phantasm stage and I was like "holy crap that looks hard af but I wanna try it"
-
EoSD, cause, you know, YouTube parodies of Flandre's theme.

Surprisingly enough, PCB is IMO the easiest Touhou.
-
Surprisingly enough, PCB is IMO the easiest Touhou.
It really IS the easiest one IMO, easy stages, easy bosses, easy Extra, all easier than all others.
Then again, I have about 117 hours on it, while every other Touhou dosnt reach 30 hours... hopefully it will soon balance out (I don't really play PCB all that much nowadays because I have done literally everything I have wanted to do on it already pretty much)

Isnt IN easier? I compared the two and I thought PCB was slightly harder. Or is it because you get shields in PCB which makes it easier?

Well it might be just bias, but I always got the impression PCB was easier in general.
Even in the beginning when I sucked... it really wasn't THAT bad...
What I think makes PCB easier, is the border gimmick and also the fact that it is (Also IMO) the most memorization-heavy game in the series. I mean, look at Yuyuko: Nearly all of her patterns can be done the exact same way everytime... and she is the FINAL boss... yeah, kinda pathetic when you think about it lol!
In contrast, Eirin/Kaguya can be fairly dangerous even on Normal (Ok mainly Kaguya but still).
