Title: The final Touhou game
Post by: JoonK on September 02, 2009, 03:20:25 AM
Let's face it. Within the next ten years, Mr. ZUN over in Japan is gonna get liver failure, ragequit when he finds endings posted on Pooshlmer, or (for some reason) simply decide that Touhou is not worth making anymore.

He will announce it on his blog, making it clear that his next game will be the last.

What do you think would happen in this FINAL game?  Or rather, what do you WANT to have happen in this swan song from Team Shanghai Alice?

And what the hell would happen to the fanbase?

Personally, I would want the final game to be like Concealed the Conclusion. Incorporate all of the characters, by simply having the different shot types face different bosses. Have a spell practice mode, with Last Word-like cards for the player characters and those who didn't appear in the main game. Have Reimu and Marisa be ONLY playable characters. And for the gimmick, let's just have supernatural borders back, it was an easy to use system. Overall, make sure nobody gets left behind LOL. Also have a satisfying ending (Gensokyo disappears, Marisa turns out to be the mastermind of every incident in the games, something epic along those lines)

For the fanbase, I think that the fancomics will still continue, there's a lot to work with in the universe, but the music circles will run out of songs to mix. I think that the whole series will receive more public attention, for a short time at least. I am actually not so sure about what would happen.

tl;dr- What do you want to see (or what you expect to happen) in THE LAST Touhou game? And what do you think would happen to the fanbase?

INB4 "he said he would continue making games even if there was no fanbase", that's why I'm citing health concerns and such.

ZUN IS A BEER GOD.

TOUHOU WILL NEVER DIE.

If it did though, I'd be satisfied with as many existing characters as possible and the return of Spell Practice.

Post by: Slaves on September 02, 2009, 03:28:12 AM
well now i'm sad because of this post ;_;

and i really don't want to make predictions (or even believe that Touhou will end, the whole "I reject your reality and substitute me own" kinda thing) about it.

looking at games like MOTHER, i think the fanbase will continue to strive even if the games end. and i'm sure that plenty of Doujin circles will make top-notch games to keep us occupied.


also, who knows, ZUN might have some secret little minion he trained to continue Touhou after he's done with it.

I'd like to see it end just to see how epic the last game will be.

Final game would be great if ZUN used Sariel ala EoE type of deal, imagine a boss fight against what is essentially a planet sized Angel of Death taking in all the souls of the known world. I want the last game to be as dark and mindfuck-y as possible. Let's see if ZUN can actually make something that's creepy enough to keep me up at night.

Also even if it does finish, the fanbase will NOT let it die. Doujin circles will most likely continue making games and I suppose the theory of Tasfro picking up on it is a reasonable outcome as well.

Official Touhou games are ZUN. I don't think anybody else could make the games like he does, especially the music and characters. Fandom will continue to exist but everyone will be sad except those who don't even play the games. For now I'll live in denial that touhou will ever end.

Post by: G_gglypuff on September 02, 2009, 03:56:24 AM
I think that the last game won't have anything specially different from the others. It would be simply another game, because ZUN's view would still be the same, and it wouldn't die if he got tired of making games or actually died.

It would be one of those things like Star Wars: there will always be fans. The difference is that there's far more to see in Touhou when compared to Star Wars, so the material couldn't simply die...
Title: Re: The final Touhou game
Post by: cleartailcat on September 02, 2009, 03:57:33 AM
Touhou will never die. Never ever EVAR. :'(

That or ZUN puts Gensoukyo on hiatus, and makes another parallel universe that's somehow connected and create another series. But it's gonna be terribly overrated and overestimated because of all the attention he has already.

Topic

A bit of a copypasta...

I agree on the 'NO NEW CHARACTERS' statement; Touhou already have more than enough cast to work with.

If ZUN is going to make a last Touhou game, these are what I want him to do:

  • Include nearly all Touhou game characters to date, including the PC-98 ones (with a bit of update). For characters that have appeared in both (e.g. Alice and Yuka), just use the Windows version of them (ZUN must follow the 'NO NEW CHARACTERS' idea to not make this a bigger pain than it already is). ZUN already had most of the Windows characters all in StB, so I would image that this is possible.
  • Include most of the music tracks that he has done for the games (keep individual character themes for the characters), and some tracks from the individual albums that he has made would also be welcome.
  • For loads and loads of characters, the tournament plot is the easiest to work with. The 'stages' could be done in Phantasmagoria-style 'episodes' without using the 2-player gameplay itself. Though, if he is creative, he could put Co-op mode somewhere in the game.
  • Every character does not need to be playable; I am content enough with just seeing all of them in the game (not just in the credits).
  • Multiple (or branching) storylines would be nice; we shouldn't fight everybody in one run, instead, there should be choices (or gimmicks) in the game that affects who we fight in the story. Also, main characters would have different stories than one another; that way, he could incorporate all the characters to the game easier.
  • To support the above, there should be more main (playable) characters than Reimu and Marisa as well (he could do what he did in IN for this). For every major factions of the Gensokyo residents, there should be at least one main character (e.g. Hakurei Shrine: Reimu, Forest of Magic: Marisa, Scarlet Devil Mansion: Sakuya, Eientei: Reisen). Main characters could appear as bosses in other main characters' story modes.
  • The Spell Card Practice mode should allow any of the playable characters to fight against any of the characters in the game.

Try to actually draw the characters decently Lastly, he should do all of this the best he can. The list above is pretty demanding, but if the 'official' Touhou series is going to end, at least let it go out with a bang (no pun intended).

... Scratch all that, ZUN can do whatever he wants...
Title: Re: The final Touhou game

It would be epic if the last game connect everything about pc-98 and bring Mima and everyone else back as bosses.

I'd hate it if the series ended like CtC, because that'd mean that everything in the series would have to come to an end. I honestly believe that the end to Touhou will be sudden and/or not have any sort of climax at all.

And that Mima will still not ever appear. :V
Title: Re: The final Touhou game
Post by: Caber Knight Etch-A-Sketch on September 02, 2009, 01:25:26 PM
Final game should be massive

many levels, each one with one of the older characters. near the end, you face off against two final lolies in boss battles.

Extra Stage, you face off against Mima

Phantasm stage, you face off against the big guy himself, ZUN.
Title: Re: The final Touhou game
Post by: shadowbringer on September 02, 2009, 01:48:44 PM
following the example of Trouble Shooter, just make it another episode; it doesn't tell the fans that the game is really the last one, and allows the creator to change his/her mind later and resume the series.

If I were ZUN, and were to troll the fans, I'd make every of the former episodes be a mere dream or sort of fiction from Maribel. Or follow the Valis example :D

Title: Re: The final Touhou game
Post by: Patorikku on September 02, 2009, 02:48:21 PM
If anything, the final game would go like this:

Reimu and Marisa decide it's time for the biggest festival at the Hakurei Shrine ever. They invite everyone they've ever fought, excluding one-shots like Rumia, Daiyou, Koa, Letty (not like she could come in the summer anyways), etc., and make the Hakurei shrine become a HUGE hit. The problem? No sake, beer, etc. So they fly off to go ask all the guest uninvited which have grown significantly in power, and the final boss will be none other than the remaining two Devas of the Mountain! Actually, scratch that, they're the penultimates. The REAL final boss is none other than ZUN! Extra boss is actually an extra boss runthrough, as in you face ALL the extra bosses. That's right, you face Mugetu (forgive me if I'm wrong on that one), Yuka, Alice, Flandre, Ran and Yukari together, her awesomeness Mokou, Suwako, her mindscrewing Koishi, Nue, and whatever other memorable extra bosses follow. Final extra boss is none other than the GIANT CATFISH. I'm kidding, he's the penultimate extra boss. Once again, final extra is ZUN when he's TRULY wasted, because not even Suika got as drunk as he is at that moment. And we all know in the Touhouverse, your power is based on either the size of your chest or how much you drink!

In other words, one giant kickass party to finish it all off.  :V

My theory is Suwako was already preggums when she fought Kanako, and threw the fight on purpose so that the lineage that they would both be tied to and rely on in the future would be unharmed.

And so any other point about one being better is moot.

It's not about one being "better" than the other, to me anyway - but canon is canon.

Also, you bringing up Suwako's pregnancy reminded me of this horrifying fan art I saw of her once, involving a bath tub and lots of frog eggs. I really don't even want to search for it. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about though.

oh I was being sarcastic too, I couldn't think of another reason ZUN would stop making games. I seriously doubt ZUN knows a thing about the English Touhou community. Also poking fun at the fact that the ONLY thing he wants is to keep the endings out of the public eye. What if that was like the LAST STRAW for him though.

And now everyone else is even more joyfull towards her recent saving the world keeping silly youkai on the line, that they forget she ever went to this Makai place at all, much else that she had a talking turtle as companion. At most, the other girls might remember she had a "pet"...

This is why the PC-98 profiles on the Touhou Wiki need a serious going-over. I once rallied people around here to update Elly's profile (http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Elly), and even then it's still pretty scant.

People might get more interested in the PC-98 games if the character profiles are interesting. Might. The gameplay is still not for everyone (I enjoy it).

It's also possible that the Final game has Genji as Final Boss.

Poor guy was abandoned by Reimu, after all the adventures they had together, and didn't even receive a single word of apretiation from her... And now everyone else is even more joyfull towards her recent saving the world keeping silly youkai on the line, that they forget she ever went to this Makai place at all, much else that she had a talking turtle as companion. At most, the other girls might remember she had a "pet"...

I'd be freaking pissed too.

uh

ever considered that he might of, like, died?

the thing looked pretty old to me, honestly.

ZUN actually confirmed that Genji is alive and well. The interview is somewhere on the wiki, I think.

Quote from: Touhou Wiki
Q. Where's Genjii(the turtle in PC-98 series) now?
A. Probably living in the lake at the back of the shrine... at least he's not consumed.

So, yeah, more like he's being put on a bus.

If the franchise dies with its original owner, it won't be much of a franchise won't it?
I believe Touhou has a large enough fanbase to support itself that even without the official creator, (like Gene Roddenberry) the franchise would be taken up by those who are willing to invest and make it go on.
I won't be surprised if Tasofro decide to do it, although a variety of others will climb on ZUN's body and continue his ever growing empire.

Hey, maybe there will be even better stories, stories that make sense, humor and doesn't end with tea parties!
At least by that sense, it will actually make sense to watch a Touhou anime.

as good as it sounds, that's one of the worse things you could do. it's one of the things that makes Touhou so out there and unique, just like the incredibly imginative character designs.

Oh wait. So Touhou doesn't feature stories that make sense and humour?

Zun rips open a portal to Gensokyo and leaves us all here to watch in horror as we can't go with him. All our favourite touhous come out to welcome him in and give us angry glares like they'd rather swim in **** than be with us, and then they laugh cuz they know we're gonna kill ourselves in the long run.

.....or Zun gets wayyyyyy to drunk and ends up insulting his government and he gets imprisoned.

btw, does Zun have a designated driver?

More a final Touhou nightmare than game  :V

And no, I doubt ZUN ever leaves his home, let alone require the use of a car.

1.) No1 yet has posted a real nightmarish end so I thought I would.

2.) He went to Reitaisei....maybe it's hosted within a block from his house?

ah I thought you meant designated driver as in a personal driver. Ignorance on my part. You don't really need to use a car in Japan. yeah I think he needed help with that, he was probably smashed outta his mind.
