Now, I need you to vote for whichever chapter I will do. Generally, the time limit for the vote is between 3-7 days, the chapter with the most vote is the one that I will play. I don't think I can 100% this game because there's no walkthrough for this game. I will need to ask for your help if I want to discover every secret in this game.

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.
-
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 (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/9301.html)
Let me ask you a question: How many of you has played Touhou survival horror fangame?
-
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? (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/9609.html)
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.
-
Return Chapter - Part 3 - When Humans and Youkai Became Dicks... (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/9810.html)
(http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/youreveryneet/76738738/848454/848454_900.png)
Now that the first chapter is finished, the voting session has reopened until 20 March. Be sure to post your votes for which chapter I will do next.
-
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!
-
Ice Fairy: 2
This should be fun, quick, and easy. Please wait warmly while I play.
-
Considering the Wrestler chapter it's based on, I wouldn't say "easy". Short, yes; easy, not so much...
-
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 (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/10167.html)
These two moves allows you to breeze through the entire chapter
Chapter left:
Hourai, Gatekeeper, Wild West, Wild, and Netherworld.
the voting session has reopened until 23 March. Be sure to post your votes for which chapter I will do next.
-
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
-
Hourai: 2
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! (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/10246.html)
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).
-
I'd totes watch an anime based on Red's scenario.
-
I think Al-kaiser is a reference to SaGa Frontier 1, particularly Red's scenario (written as Alkaiser there).
I didn't realized that until you point this out. I guess my research is still lacking.
Hourai Chapter - Part 2 - Soylent Green is Made of (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/10690.html)People
[/url]
FUN TIMES!!!
-
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:
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
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.
Hourai Chapter - Side Story (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/11005.html)
Screw it!!!
-
Victoly!! :toot:
-
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 (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/11067.html)
I guess this is the end...
Chapter left:
Gatekeeper, Wild West, Wild, and Netherworld.
the voting session has reopened until 31 March. Be sure to post your votes for which chapter I will do next.
-
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 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
(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.
-
No RE-Al-Phoenix though? :V
Anyway, I'd like to vote for the Netherworld chapter. By the way, what's the requirement for that particular chapter's superboss?
Not in this chapter.
Well, that's simple. I don't know. Youmu was like Snake in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3fs6FKwiaE&list=PLqK2kiw5OWehcPGTbwimcUBrQBTsQCbLx&index=8) during my playthrough.
Kinda curious on this "age-inappropriate" superboss in Wild (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.
Sinsack is counted as boy in Danbooru, so it's probably not sinsack
. Hint: I use the proper pronoun to describe to superboss.
That's a shame really, I thought someone was going to butt in during the voting. Oh well, I'll decide it with 3 coin toss.
And the result was:
Netherworld: 1
Wild: 2
Looks like Zent wins again. Please wait warmly while I play.
-
Wild Chapter - Part 1 - This is Still a Touhou Fangame (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/11303.html)
Wild Chapter is unique that its story is told without dialogue. So this chapter is the hardest to screencap and have a lot of picture.
EDIT: Updated combining recipes
-
Oookaaay... A kedama and a crow? How's "that" gonna work? :V

Wild Chapter - Part 2 - Tis' Was a Bad Day (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/11581.html)
2 update in a single day? Yes Please.
-
Wild Chapter - Superboss (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/11776.html)
How's that for an "age-inappropriate superboss"!
-
...That was age-inappropriate? :wat: Seemed like pretty standard JRPG boss fare to me. I thought it was going to be something dirty-ish (hence my first guess).
-
"Age" as in "era". :V
-
Ah, I thought that might have been it since it wasn't the other. And considering FF1 came out like almost 30 years ago (JP release was in December of '87, then the Western one was in 1990)... yeah, it's apt.
-
"Age" as in "era". :V
Yeeeeeeah.... I actually meant to that. Me and my english.
Also, why am I keep calling the chicken-in-a-stick kebab? They're actually yakitori, not kebab. They're both different type of food.
Wild Chapter - Part 3 - Is That a Dragon?! That is a Dragon! (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/12199.html)
No wonder they crapped themselves.
Note: This chapter is the hardest and the fastest to make. It's hard because my screen capturing software has a half-second delay and its story is told through body language and context, it's fast because I don't have to write any dialogue.
Chapter left:
Gatekeeper, Wild West, and Netherworld.
the voting session has reopened until 7 April. Be sure to post your votes for which chapter I will do next.
-
Now that that's sorted out, I'm going to throw Leon a bone here and vote for Netherworld this time.
-
Sweet. My previous vote for Netherworld still stands, by the way.
-
Netherworld: 2
*sigh* Great, it's Netherworld this time. You know, I was hoping the next chapter would b- okay, NEET, stop that sentence! Telling your preferences is bad for your PR.
Okay, okay, here we go.
-
Netherworld Chapter - Part 1 - Solid Youmu (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/12465.html)
Alternate title: A Million Way to Die in the East.
Being a pacifist is hard, at least Undertale had it easy.
-
Smuggling bananas? I wonder if that's an intentional reference to SaGa/Final Fantasy Legend 2's translation? :V
-

Well, SaGa is well outside my scope, so I don't know. But after research, I think it's probably intentional.
Netherworld Chapter - Part 2 - Liquid Youmu (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/12709.html)
"LIQUIIIIIIIIIIID"
"SNAKEEEEEE"
A common way of greeting among Metal Gear freaks circa 2014 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUpN5sefwTA)
Damn, Metal Gear Solid had it easy
-
So with what I think is a full party for that chapter I wonder if you can take on the superboss from earlier?
-
Soul Katana or whatever it was changes depending on what weapon you have equipped, by the way. Some of them are pretty nice.
-
So with what I think is a full party for that chapter I wonder if you can take on the superboss from earlier?
One word: Cakewalk. Most superboss here can be beaten with pure determination and grinding (Finding them on the other hand...). Only the superboss in Gatekeeper actually can't be beaten if you don't make preparation well in advance.
Soul Katana or whatever it was changes depending on what weapon you have equipped, by the way. Some of them are pretty nice.
Yeah, I just realized that after this update. But most that I found is shit though.
Netherworld Chapter - Superboss - Solidus Youmu (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/12884.html)
Never thought fighting superbosses = pushover.
-
Huh, that was pretty anticlimactic indeed. You'd think their HP would've been way higher or something.
-
The Netherworld chapter actually has a very blatant reference to Metal Gear Solid. If you find yourself in jail, one of the few methods you can bust yourself out is to give the bottle of ketchup found in your cell to the guard, who'll give it a taste and then complains that it is "wretchfully rotten" before rushing straight toward the bathroom next door, dropping the key in the process.
Even funnier? That guard's name is also Johnny (well, actually Jonii, but close enough). Poor Johnny Sasaki, even in an entirely different game, he is still suffering from bowel problems...
-
Actually that was already pointed out in the second part, though only briefly. And it was also pointed out that doing that will only give you a brief window, and once he's done doing his business he'll be on your ass faster than you can mimic the alert sound effect.
-
Huh, that was pretty anticlimactic indeed. You'd think their HP would've been way higher or something.
Well, they have 1000+ HP for sure. It's just the difficulty from Hourai's comes from finding ways to hurt them, in Wild's is radiation, and in Gatekeeper is pure terror. Netherworld...?

Well, I actually forgot that that method also comes from Metal Gear Solid 3. At first I tried the food method, he just gave me cigar, then fake death, he open the cell, then sneak out, got caught (No Reflex mode in Snake Eater), forced to kill Johnny with a goddamn fork.

Chapter left:
Gatekeeper, and Wild West.
Two more chapter until the best chapter. As always, there are 3 days voting to determine the next chapter that I will play.
-
Well, I'm somewhat ashamed to say that I could only recognize a handful from that amalgamation of bosses, namely YHVH, Ultima (FFT), Madotsuki, and probably
Reimu
.
Anyway, voting for Gatekeeper chapter this time.
-
Let's get the last superboss out of the way! Gatekeeper!
-
Gatekeeper: 2
It's decided. We do Gatekeeper first, then Wild West
As usual, please wait warmly while I play.
-
Gatekeeper Chapter - Part 1 - Reality Ensues (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/13384.html)
I like it when a game does this kind of deconstruction. Also, this chapter is waaaay easier compared to the likes of Hourai, Wild, and Netherworld.
Strangely, my screen capturer cannot interact with Fighting Games. I don't know why, it can interact with MGSV: The Phantom Pain just fine (Although, doing that reduce its FPS to a crawl considering my laptop struggles playing it)
-
Wait, was that intro fight prerecorded or actually playable?
-

Looks pre-recorded....
-
Unfortunately, neither are correct. The battle is fully playable... in Touhou 12.3 Hisoutensoku. It's just me and my brother duking it out (while I held back) and photoshop it to make it look convincing. The real battle goes like this

I attack once after using baiting tactic.

Gatekeeper Chapter - Part 2 - History Repeats (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/13695.html)
What a bland villain.

Pfff, did you really have to remind us of that infamous scene from Sonic '06? :V
-

Yes. I was a former Sonic fan (Thank God I didn't have Wii U, Although I really wanted to play Xenoblade Chronicle X). And besides, he's just asking for it since he ripped his master plan from Mephiles.

But It'll be fun beating the shit outta final boss with Flan. Then again...
Gatekeeper Chapter - Part 3 - Gatekeeper of SDM (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/14082.html)
Final Boss Fight (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS5cJp4_9IA)
Curbstomp battle of epic proportion.
As there's only 1 chapter left, I'm going to skip the voting session and head straight to Wild West Chapter
-
And he got stabbed by his own solar weapon. Who's death is he ripping off again?
Ookay, I've been looking through this (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HoistByHisOwnPetard), but I couldn't find the exact reference. Shamed yet again by my lack of knowledge. :fail:
-
I know this is very late, but have anyone of you noticed that the explosion sprites, as well as some of the enemies in the Hourai chapter are actually taken from the Metal Slug series?
To elaborate about the Hourai chapter's enemies:
Girida - well, the Girida-O tanks
Buzz-Buzz and Blue Alert - the Patrol Robots
The three robots that accompanies Rikako - the mechanical Units from Metal Slug 5. Heck, the devs didn't even bother modifying the sprites!
Also, the alert sound effect that is heard when the Buzz-Buzz and Blue Alert cast their buffs wasn't recognized anywhere... until I heard that very same sound effect being used in Metal Slug Defense which was released just two years ago, several years later than Touhou-A-Live.

Ookay, I've been looking through this (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HoistByHisOwnPetard), but I couldn't find the exact reference. Shamed yet again by my lack of knowledge. :fail:
If you don't know it, chance are I won't either,
I know this is very late, but have anyone of you noticed that the explosion sprites, as well as some of the enemies in the Hourai chapter are actually taken from the Metal Slug series?
Cool, I used to play Metal Slug Defense as well. I only don't notice the Patrol Bot. Actually, the devs actually bothered to, the enemies all have facing-back sprites (Back-left, Back-Right), the enemies in Metal Slug don't face back. I checked. Also, Live-A-Live doesn't have any explosion effect.
Wild West Chapter - Part 1 - The Wanderer With a Few Words (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/14349.html)
Did someone wanted a Wild West stories with Japanese Anime tropes?
-
You know, I'm glad Sephiroth wasn't there, or else he would've gone ape at the very mention of Rei Jenova.
(In case you don't get the joke, two hints: Dissidia, Machinima.)

(http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/youreveryneet/76738738/1571764/1571764_900.png)
You see this chapter? This is the best chapter in this game and my favorite chapter ever! This chapter's also very long, it's almost 4 times the length of other chapter. Give me 4 days (24 April) and I will play this chapter. Man, I can't wait to play it.
-
Sorry, I don't know anything about Machinima.
I was referring to this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUqwvQKap3I) specifically (skip to 2:44 to see the scene in question).
Anyway, wonder which was the red herring in regards to who this game's Oersted/Odio
counterpart is...
-
Let's recheck the final bosses' names again, shall we?
Kedama: dRAYGIon
Meiling: RAY JIhad
Youmu: guREI JIrou
Ran: REY JEnova
Cirno: gungREY JIbalt
Mokou: cindleman REJE
Shang: REI-IJI
You see the caps? RAYGI, RAY JI, REI JI, REY JE, REY JI, REJE, and REI-IJI.
I wonder what triggered the RAGE that led to the birth of TAL's Odio equivalent? Since Mima was supposed to be TAL's Oersted equivalent, we all can guess how her chapter is going to end...
-

I actually don't notice the Reiiji part on Draygion name.
Rage to the world perhaps? I don't know, me and my friend were to busy cracking up on how the stupid the name is. Yes, we know how the chapter ends, but as Leon = Helsing said, there'll be a red herring, and besides, the fun of this chapter is seeing their suffering and struggle.
Fantasy Chapter 1 - Part 1 (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/14969.html)
Merry Christmas everyone.
-
Well, there are quite a few deviations from the original, but I guess it's still safe to say that this is gonna be pretty hard to watch.
-
Well, there are quite a few deviations from the original, but I guess it's still safe to say that this is gonna be pretty hard to watch.
Why is it hard to watch?
-
Oh, you know. Betrayal. Despair. I'm guessing this won't deviate that much from the original Medieval chapter.
-
About the Fantasy chapter (salty rant incoming, spoilers if you haven't seen the whole chapter, etc)...
Honestly, I think it goes way too far into the territory of trying to be super EDGY AND DARK, plus it lasts like five times longer than it needs to. It's sooooo. Soooooooo long. SOOOO LONG HOLY CRUD. And it tries so hard to be edgy that eventually it starts just making me want to facepalm and groan repeatedly... and the ending is handled really badly. Mima instantly heel-face-turns after so much buildup it just feels really forced, and Reimu's death is so tacked on after-the-fact that it almost hurts. I wouldn't care so much if it didn't take forever to slog through it. Also doesn't help the translation patch tends to bug up and permanently destroy your save file after a certain boss fight numerous hours into the chapter, with lots of time to unknowingly save before you find out it's broken! (Yeah, you should definitely safety-save in a different slot right before the Alice fight)
-
Oh, you know. Betrayal. Despair. I'm guessing this won't deviate that much from the original Medieval chapter.
Oh, I see. You can add one to the list: War is Hell. 'Cause that's the theme for Chapter 2
About the Fantasy chapter (salty rant incoming, spoilers if you haven't seen the whole chapter, etc)...
Well, I already played that Chapter once. I agree that the chapter is way too dark, the thing is, after I played it once, I can detach myself from the game. In fact, the only chapter I care about is Hourai. I think it's better if Reimu's the one who become Rage, it'll be cool y'know, and it's because it's Reimu who breaks first from all the tragedy. Someone already tipped me about the bug in SMT!Alice fight, so I can prepare for it well in advance.
And besides...
[attach=1]
I always save sequentially. So, one broken save file means I only get to back track a little. Still, thank you for the tips, and I kind of understand your complain. Guess this chapter is hard to watch after all.

Fantasy Chapter 1 - Part 2 (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/15308.html)
I don't remember going THIS far to reach Demon Tower back in Live-A-Live.
-
Huh, it does smell somewhat suspiciously of padding.
...No, not that kind of padding. That joke's gotten kinda old anyway.
-
The original chapter in Live-A-Live is a small fraction the length of the Touhou-A-Live chapter (Wheras the others are all roughly similar in length), so yeah, there's a lot of that. You could probably beat every other chapter in the game (not counting final... probably...) in less time than Fantasy takes :V
The HP growth is really low because if you don't run a whole lot you'll be well over lv20 before you finish.
-
Huh, it does smell somewhat suspiciously of padding.
Indeed... let's hope the next chapters are devoid of padding.
The HP growth is really low because if you don't run a whole lot you'll be well over lv20 before you finish.
Really...?! Whoa... I remember I finished the original chapter in Live-A-Live at Lv12, and that's because I needed lv12 skill to beat the next boss.
Fantasy Chapter 1 - Part 3 (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/15554.html)

If you thing this chapter is downer, you should see the next chapters.

Well, I can only imagine how bad it's gonna be if it's to the point that you wished for Yuuka to be mercy killed.

Meira's already tripped her death flag?

Technically, yes.
Fantasy Chapter 2 Mission 3: Investigate The East Village (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/16218.html)
3/4 into Chapter 2 and I'm already over level 20.
-
Huh, I expected a Die for Me! spell or at least a Mudo-class spell or a Megido-class spell.
-
I guess they removed some of the areas/ideas because they figured it was long enough already XD This was around the point where I was getting to "Okay, seriously... can this be nearly over now?" There's a lot of random fights and they get sorta samey to do over and over. You're supposed to fight until you're tired of the system in the -final- chapter. XD
-
Huh, I expected a Die for Me! spell or at least a Mudo-class spell or a Megido-class spell.
If does have Shinki's instant permanent death which she uses in my 2nd and 4th fight against her. Why did I fought her 3 more times...?

Geez, you really does hate the length this chapter. It's still chapter 2 and you're already bored. I kinda agree with the battle, it's getting harder and harder for me to describe the enemies, and as much as I like the battle BGM, it certainly have overstayed its welcome.

Fantasy Chapter 3 - Part 1 (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/16893.html)
There's so much potential in this chapter. But since this chapter has gone for too long... I estimate there's only 2 part for this chapter.
-
Wait, the Replicants are seriously just tossed in there only to be never mentioned again? Jeez, that's some wasted potential right out of the gate.

Yeah, I was hoping that the game explore the fugitive theme more.
Fantasy Chapter 3 - Part 1.5 (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/17017.html)
There are two things I wouldn't expect from a Touhou RPG: A death scene and a torture scene
.
-
Er... wow. You know what, I guess they really did run out of ideas on how to make this darker without being ridiculous and just toss in some generic dark stuff just for the sake of being dark.
-
Yeah, this is where the chapter isn't just stupidly long, but the plot just tries way too hard. Apart from, you know, the over-the-top news stories and all the murder and executions and random sidetrips to zombie town- this takes the cake.
The upside is I think this is staring to get SOMEWHAT close to the end?
-
You'll know you're nearing the end when
you have defeated Yukari in battle, after which the remainder of the chapter will play out almost exactly like the second half of Live-A-Live's Medieval Chapter.
Actually, the concept of the Replicants doesn't seem to be abandoned after you defeat those three Replicant Gatekeepers (all three of whom looked like Sara). For starters, some of the enemies you can encounter in the Final Chapter are basically identical in appearance to Touhou characters such as Chen, Kisume, Mystia, and even Kikuri!

Yeah, only it's more retarded. I think I'm going to name the chapter 4: Retarded People Doing Retarded Things.
That's a mistake on my part, I only remember [spoiler[that the enemies in second Tower of Demon is *whatever*phobia, let me revise that. Actually, the enemies there are Replicants of Shou, Orin, Aya, Iku-wannabe, Renko, Gengetsu?, and Kikuri.[/spoiler]
Fantasy Chapter 3 - Part 2 (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/17298.html)

All that left is the Final Chapter. I'm going to begin the last voting session until 11 May to pick who's going to be our main character for the Final Chapter.
- Meiling
- Youmu
- Mokou
- Ponga
- Fox
- Cirno
- Shang
-
...You know what, let's just get it over with and pick someone who can break the fucking game in half. I pick Cirno.
-
Considering there's not many of us really in the thread, let's not complicate things... Cirno.
-
Cirno's fun, especially once you
get her secret ultimate
.
-
Let's see if I can rip apart Fantasy Chapter 4.
- In chapter 3, Mima and co murdered Yukari and Yumemi takes her position. The question is: What's stopping the Minister from screaming demon at Yumemi?
- Having 2 person when everyone's scream demon's just makes the scene more retarded.
- "As long there's someone who believes in you" speech is kinda lost is impact when we have Mima and Reimu, they're probably believe in each other. Plus, we still have Genji who still believes us (until he was killed), and Ichirin who probably still believes in us as well.
- Just as Serela said, Reimu's death is so sudden and tacked on.
- Mima's clearly has no interest in becoming the demon king, so, the game decided to kill Reimu. And then, BANG! Rage!
With all those stupidity at chapter 4, I can't help but snicker every time the game tried to be dramatic at that time, heck, I just laughed at Reimu's death and Rage part due to how silly that scenes are.
Cirno will be our main protagonist for the Final Chapter.
Final Chapter - Prologue (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/17838.html)
Now please, have a look at the prologue while I play.
-
Huh, now that you mentioned it again, what was up with that plot hole anyway?
-
Huh, now that you mentioned it again, what was up with that plot hole anyway?
In Fantasy Chapter, we see the news that report Ran is missing. Ran missing = bad Yukari. But here, we see that it's Fox who's been sent to Final Chapter, so there's no way Ran would be missing as well or else there's Time Paradox.
Sorry about the wait, sudden IRL got in the way.
Final Chapter Part 1 - Saving the World With Power of Friendship (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/18038.html)
Now you see why I picked this cheesy title for my let's play.
-
Not enough level to beat the miniboss? So not even Tsuda + Abise Geri abuse would cut it?
-
Not with ONLY Cirno and her not having gotten levels -or- equipment yet. Probably deal a tiny fraction of it's hp and die in a couple hits.
Out of curiosity, what's the soul katana effect of Youmu's special no-kill weapon? Also, I wonder if Shang has automatic petrification immunity like Cube did in Live-A-Live...

That's what going to happen if I fight it that early. At least Meiling and Mokou has strong full heal.
It's an AoE heal that is even stronger than Reimu's. I don't think I will be using Shang anymore. I don't know, I rarely used Shang.
Geez, and here I thought my day couldn't get any worse. Maybe I should reduce my update speed, ya?

Final Chapter Part 3 - Of Memorization, Nightmare, and Freaking Arithmetic (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/18470.html)
Why is it have to be arithmetic?!
-
Just for the sake of verifying no. 4:
π = 180o
2π/3 = 120o
cos(120o) = -1/2
And there ya go. :V
-
I would have never expected for a game to ever throw derivation as a math problem!
But who cares, it's Re-Al Phoenix baby! :getdown:
-
Another dungeon is even more dickish than Shang's Dungeon.
How so? You need to have extensive knowledge of real life, other Touhou fan games, and even other video games which you probably don't play or have never even heard of (including Banjo Kazooie!) All that to answer a series of question!
Your punishment for failing to answer a certain amount of questions correctly is a boss fight with the thing that asked the questions, and its very difficult to beat too!

Yeah, I remember that. There's a reason why I don't mention it at all when I'm in East Village. You know what, screw it! I'm going to try that quiz.
Final Chapter Part 4 - Of Jar Jar Binks, Major Dickery, and Metal Gear Omega (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/18921.html)
He's not kidding when he said the quiz is ridiculous.
I wanted to try doing a normal let's play for once, but as I found out, you need some equipment to go with. And I doubt I can speak freely for so long on live as I am a shy person IRL.
-
Thankfully I think you can pass the final round if you look around GameFAQs.
-
Thankfully I think you can pass the final round if you look around GameFAQs.
I don't do that because I wanted to show how ridiculous it is to a normal person. Besides, the game can still register input while it's not focused, making it hard to access the FAQ
Final Chapter Part 5 - Of A Fallen Shrine, Space Odyssey, Ice Dungeon, and Cheaters (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/19008.html)
I guess there's not much to go once the story is completed.
It's a common sense that using laptop's internal microphone for let's play is really stupid. So I bought a headphone with a microphone... with only one port. And my laptop can't detect the microphone. I swear, making a regular is more trouble than it's worth.

Oh wow, they didn't even bother reshading the behemoth or something.

Final Chapter Part 6 - Of Cowards, Hangover, Exposition, and Tower Climbing (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/19393.html)
I believe that's almost all of the dungeons and optional bosses.
-
And they had to go and remind us of how they tried to pad this game with generic grimdark. :V
-
Remember how you found Head Plucker in the original LAL?
Well, do the exact same thing in TAL and you'll find yourself facing The Black Dragon aka Oersted/ Odio.
Also, go to the Moriya Shrine, insert a couple of Money into the donation box, and you'll face Yagokoro Daioh as the boss.

I don't actually, me and my friends only got 1/3 way into the final chapter before we stop playing it. Probably because I showed him the Fantasy Chapter of Touhou-A-Live and he was thoroughly unimpressed by it.
Okay, I'll do that.

Final Boss Fight (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwEVM6l9-Hs)
I played Touhou horror game recently and will let's play it later on
, but it isn't as scary as compared to the final boss. JRPG can be creepy sometimes.
-
Purple-haired girl is Patchouli, note the crescent moon hair ornament. Blonde-haired girl is Flandre as evidenced by the rainbow crystal wing, and taking that into account blue-haired girl is most likely Remilia.
As for the final boss itself, I want to say I've seen creepier, though I can't really remember which one. Probably in one of the Drakengard games.

Oh yeah... I should've seen it.
I'm pretty sure anyone would be surprised seeing Drakengard's final boss in route B, and D. Drakengard 2's final boss is not scary, and I don't know about Drakengard 3 since I don't have PS3.
Kept you waiting, huh?
Final Chapter - True Final Boss (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/20015.html)
My opinion of Genius of Sappheiros:
Despite it's hard difficulty, bullshit trial-and-error bosses, and general dickery of that game, I actually liked that game. I like that every character has their own unique weapon, skill tree, and skills to make them unique while still making them heavily customizable. I really welcome it's hard difficulty, it really forces me to strategize and min-maxing my characters. Though I really don't like it's final boss and really wish that they all burn in hell.

Maybe this is meant to symbolize our strength now. Live-A-Live also did that for its true final boss.
Final Chapter - True Ending (http://youreveryneet.livejournal.com/20340.html)
So, this is it for Touhou-A-Live. A pretty good crossover between Live-A-Live and Touhou except for its eighth chapter. Sure it got a few bugs here and there, and the gameplay in the end just revolves around damage rush. But still, replicating Live-A-Live gameplay in RPG Maker is a very hard thing to do, and I respect their effort for creating this game.
As a screenshot based let's player, I still got much to learn. From my commentary skills, my play style, completeness, and humor. Plus, I got to stop changing my style mid let's play. I'm still nothing compared to Validon98 and my inspiration, Roukanken.
As for my next play, I'm going to play something Touhou... and Chinese.
-
Maybe this is meant to symbolize our strength now. Live-A-Live also did that for its true final boss.
Huh, forgot about that. Guess my reaction to this game pretty much defaulted to disappointment ever since... well, you know.
Well, at least I actually have a name to blame now.
-
"Meanwhile, I fail to realize what's exciting about seeing a black ball."
It's Rumia
. :V
But anyways, yes, this was a nice little LP. Thanks for doing this!

I once experienced something like that, only mine is against an unwinnable bug-ridden boss.

. :V
But anyways, yes, this was a nice little LP. Thanks for doing this!
I still fail to see what's exciting about seeing her.
A 50+ part LP is not exactly small per se, but you're welcome.
You know that I intent to play chinese Touhou horror game as my let's play, right? After I think about it, I realized that it's actually more trouble than it's worth. First, it's untranslated, that means I'm playing it blind unless someone can give me translation (which is very unlikely), plus you need to be able to read the clues for solving the puzzles, and the puzzle is randomized, no cheesing it out by seeing guide, I tried. Second, I don't know if the game supports text hooker or not, probably not. Does text hooker supports Game Maker's game? So, I'm going to replace my next LP with a translated Chinese Touhou CRPG.
I tried to manually translated it, only to find out the text is so small that complicated chinese text are nigh-impossible to read (it's just like seeing a black blot with outer glow), forcing me to squint my eyes (my eyes still hurts after that). The result: Let's just say... it's not pretty.
Why I won't let's play The Genius of Sappheiros:
(http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/youreveryneet/76738738/2214439/2214439_900.png)
This is my play time in Genius of Sappheiros. Even at that level, the final boss can still kick my ass if the RNG is not kind to me (like that's fair calling minibosses and having attack that deals fixed damage (666), and having 3 forms)
(http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/youreveryneet/76738738/2214729/2214729_900.jpg)
And this is my playtime in Final Fantasy X. And that is me with ridiculously overleveled Tidus who can two shot the final boss. And it only took me 41 hours.
I'm not going to waste another 100 hours of my life just grinding like hell and meeting bullshitty boss again. Do you know how much time I spent against the final boss? 3 DAYS and 2 NIGHTS!!! That's like if I'm staying in hotel and spending my time doing nothing but trying to defeat that shit! I really hope the final boss burn in hell for eternity. (Though, I bet it can be fun riffing all those bullshittyness of that game)
-
Eh, you can easily avoid the minibosses via not killing the add-ons (other than the dang turtle) and mystic resist and luring slot pretty much makes the 666 attack toothless. But it IS a -very- long game and it does have a fairly high difficulty, so not lping it is entirely understandable :V
-
So, I'm going to replace my next LP with a translated Chinese Touhou CRPG.
Well... I tried to play the Chinese Touhou CRPG. But for reason unknown, the game crashes in the middle of prologue. With the chinese Touhou fangames out, my next option will be..

I started this like two years ago, and mostly enjoyed it til I got to Mima's chapter. Then I was just horribly disappointed and dropped out at Louise after determining there was probably no way to actually spare her. I have been inspired to try and finish it, as it has been taunting me for awhile.
I demand an apology.
-
Mima's chapter is a sucker punch of bad after a mostly good game.
It's really does feel like one needs an apology after trying to play through it :V
-
I think I'm the only one who enjoyed Mima's chapter. My friend hated it, you guys hated it, everyone hated it. I don't know, probably because I found it really funny for Gensokyo to be turned into a war-zone.
-
It would've been bearable if it didn't last for-ever.
-
And it's not really a mirror to Oersted's chapter while drifting pretty far from what makes Touhou good. Admittedly, Oersted's chapter is hard to carry over.
Edit: Okay, aside from everything turning into SMT during part 3 (down to the dungeons looking like SMT dungeons), I am terribly amused that Ichirin is Agrias and Yumemi is Meliadoul for no goddamn reason other than there's no stopping it.
Edit: Oh shit, dying in obscurity. I smiled despite myself.
Edit edit: Oh shit that's Strabo, waddup. It took me a bit to recognize him.

Touhou is good because the story is silly and don't take itself seriously (sometimes). Mima's chapter is dead serious and almost as dark as Batman v Superman. Yeah, how can you recreate a knight and princess story when there is no castle, knight, and princess in Touhou? Especially when the princess is Reimu?
Part 3 don't have dungeons. Agrias? Meliadoul?
-
Agrias? Meliadoul?
Look up Final Fantasy Tactics.
-
Essentially, they both have attacks from said character, and Yumemi has Meliadoul's signature weapon, Save the Queen. Honestly, this whole thing is increasingly giving off FFT vibes in ways that are almost pleasing.
Then that happened, and well, there's all the kind of forgiveness this part had built up pissed away. Also that was the worst scream effect.

Hey I got a question.
How'd you get in here in the final chapter? When I try it, it tells me that it's locked. And from what I can gather, there's a sweet grass converter in there: http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/youreveryneet/76738738/1957406/1957406_900.png .
-
That's the slum's safehouse. That's strange, all safehouses are supposed to be open. Maybe the game glitched?
The safehouse there convert 20 Strong Parts for 99 Recovery Grass. It's useful for upgrading Shang. If you can't enter it, there's a safehouse somewhere that converts Strong Parts for 5 Recovery Grass.

Oh well. Thanks!

And it is done. I'm more pleased by the last chapter and ending than I thought I'd be.
Everyday, thank you for your LP. It inspired me to finally slay this beast. As well, you've created perhaps the most comprehensive walkthrough I've seen for this by far, which was immensely helpful. I doubt I would have found even half of the secrets in the last chapter without it (Also wish I knew it was possible to save Reisen =[ ). You are a champ.
Fun things: I made Meiling my main character, and I went full IQ build on her. By the end, she had an IQ well over 200. Which meant spells pretty much never hurt her, and Old Fox Dance hit like a bus, which was great for dealing with issues. It did make equipping her interesting, though, since I didn't want to drop her IQ too much.
I did take on Xenophobia: it was surprisingly not bad, but it was also the last EX Boss I faced. Only like 1600~ HP on it. Barely got in a hit in before I Fox Danced it to death.

You are welcome, though I prefer to be called YEN. The game has a guide only for the last chapter though, and that is where I found all the secret. I also didn't know Hourai's and Wild West's secret and I knew it from Validon98's previous let's play.
I didn't know you could do that. I guess Old Fox Dance can be useful since it's animation is 10x shorter than X Y L Shan Quan. Like I said in my GoS let's play I mostly built my character as a jack-of-all-stats.
I did not fight that boss though in my let's play.
