New Touhou hype thread (DEFINITE SPOILERS)

[Thaws]

It's also kinda nice how there's a bit of a SA sequel involved, too.

So this whole UFO incident was caused by Utsuho's outburst, right?
Which means it was indirectly caused by the Moriya Shrine.....
:V........

[Drake]

But SA was caused by the Moriya Shrine anyways.

The last three games have just gone in a line.

At least the Extra stage isn't on the Moriya Shrine for once.

[Gpop]

Holy fucking shit.

I'm going to have to catch up on all this.

But damn Utsuho looks awesome on 12.3. I'm definitely gonna get that.

I CANNOT STOP LISTENING TO HEIAN ALIEN


SOMEONE HELP ME ;_;

[Moerin]

I CANNOT STOP LISTENING TO HEIAN ALIEN


SOMEONE HELP ME ;_;

Listen to this, it should help~

Spoiler:

Of course you can't stop listening to it, it's frigging awesome~ You should listen to it even more~

[Rikter]

SOMEONE HELP ME ;_;

This minus the asking for help...

Wait I should definitely swap every single track in PSO BB's sound folder with it.

Or just goof of with this track in audacity like I do with every other song I enjoy (Speed up, reverse Etc.)

I wonder if it would sound more like U.N. Owen of sped up...

EDIT: OH MY IT SOUNDS EVEN MORE SIMMILAR 20% FASTER

[Gpop]

So as I'm getting the game, I'm watching the videos on Youtube.

Spoiler:

So far I watched stage 4, and damn I love the stage theme, "Interdimensional Voyage of a Ghostly Passenger Ship". It's up there with my other favourite stage 4 themes.

Now, Captain Minamitsu Murasa...oh god her anchors...so fucking awesome...

...I can't say the same for her theme though. I guess I'll let it grow on me anyways.

Also, HOLY SHIT NAZRIN RETURNS AS STAGE 5 MIDBOSS! HOLY SHIT YES!

Nazrin is now my favourite stage 1 boss.

[WHMZakeri]

I love how the Extra Boss's Special ability is the ability to look like a Little Girl.

Edit: In other News, SanAe's dialog has already been translated and posted on the wiki, for those interested.

Stage 6 normal video and how to get 7 bombs on the stage:

4 and 5 are coming

[Tengukami]

I, for one, love the feeling of getting to a particular stage for the very first time - that edge-of-your-seat feeling, leaning close to the monitor, fingers poised, unblinking eyes open, heart pounding, silly grin frozen on my face as I think "Ooh, nice music ... ahh, pretty background ... OK, so far so good with the fairies here OH HAI MIDBOSS ... hm, alright, well let's see what- WOW! Whoah, that was pretty damn close ... Alright, alright ... Whew! OK, here we go ... grazegrazegraze ... YEEEEE! STAGE BOSS! Nice hat, heh ... Alright, this doesn't seem to bad really, kind reminds me of- WTF WTFWTFWTFWTFWTF!!! ... Wow, holy crap, ok this could be- ARGH! dammit alright relax I mean how spellcards could there- DAMMIT ... ah well, yes, Continue ..."

Anyways, I gotta say I'm glad I practiced the demo repeatedly because I got to see ANCHORS AWEIGH and CURLING ORANGE LASERS. Also, did anyone else notice that

Spoiler:

in the early part of Stage 4, if you have even just one red or green UFO, you get a 1UP or a free bomb dropped on you, respectively, seemingly out of nowhere? Haven't tried what happens if you're going for blue UFOs because frankly I avoid them

and that also, mercifully

Spoiler:

ZUN has now let us save replays after taking continues

?

I've said this about SA, and I said it about MoF before, but this is fast becoming my favorite Touhou game.

[Drake]

If you have a blue UFO at the end of Stage 6 it barfs out point items like mad. Might be the same.

That actually bothered me about Stage 5. Too many falling reds and blues! Can't see shit, captain!

[Tiliesola x01]

Thanks to the availability of good tools this time around, we expect all material in UFO to be translated and on the wiki by tomorrow morning.  (Translated dialogue is already being posted, for example.)

Spoiler:

You get attacked by a swirling vortex of doom (the extra stage boss?) in stage 4. If you die or bomb on it's attacks, it drops you a bomb. If you clear all the attacks, you get an extra life. The vortex makes a reappearance just before the boss of stage 6. If you clear it there, you get a yellow full power up. If you bomb or die on it's attacks, you only get a red powerup worth 100 small power ups. At least that's how I think it works.

[?q]

Looks like the general consensus is that rather than sucking, UFO is actually all kinds of awesome.

And you are correct.  This game is even more atmospheric than SA.

'Took a look through the character bios.  This actually looks more interesting than usual, considering the story thus pits youkai hunters vs. youkai advocates.  I like Nue's part of the storyline (basically, screwing with everyone for the fun of it).

Also, Stages 5 and 6 are set in Makai.  Shinki is 100% overwritten.  We can deny Mystic Square ever existed now

That actually bothered me about Stage 5. Too many falling reds and blues! Can't see shit, captain!

I agree with this^^^

[Drayen]

Yea, the "miniboss" on stage 6 throws bajillions of point items if you have full power when it goes away. I dont quite get why it gives you a Fullpower items sometimes and other times it just gives you a big power item.

[Gpop]

Heian Alien...

...FUCKING YES!!!

[Tengukami]

You get attacked by a swirling vortex of doom (the extra stage boss?) in stage 4. If you die or bomb on it's attacks, it drops you a bomb. If you clear all the attacks, you get an extra life.

Fascinating. So it was just by pure coincidence that I had one red UFO when I got the extra life and one green UFO when I got the extra bomb. Good to know, thanks!

[DgBarca]

Normal mode is owning me so much...aaaaarrrrrrrgggg I hate stage 4...I can't have any UFO because these things are going where the bullets are...NYAAAAAAAAAAAAA >>>>_<<<<

[Slaves]

Heian Alien...

...FUCKING YES!!!

when i say it out loud it sounds like

"hey, an alien"

HOHOHOHO _{although i dunno if im pronouncing Heian right}


anyway

ZUN should use bells in more themes. i loved him using them ever since i heard them in Wonderful Heaven, and i can't get enough ;w;
