| HistoryoftheMoon:
I don't think there's already a thread like this, but if there is, totally feel free to take this one down. Considering that I started Touhou in August, I have some funny noob presumptions still fresh(ish) in my head. First, disclaimer- I got interested in Touhou through the music, namely ScarletFlameFlandre's videos, so a lot of these came from the music and thumbnails. First, I thought Keine and Eirin are the same person. Or rather, Eirin had power over history, and was the protector of the human village. The five-letter "ei" names were throwing me off, and their designs looked kind of similar. Once I actually got Imperishable Night, my first Touhou game, I had no idea who Yukari was. I just thought she was Reimu's friend or something. Not some crazy youkai mastermind... I also thought that depending on the color of the spell/nonspell's HP bar, focused and unfocused shots would be more effective. I also didn't know that Ran was a thing, and presumed that Yukari's shot was just a straight laser. On the occasion that I noticed Ran floating in front of Yukari, I brushed it off as some visual effect thing. It actually took me a long while, but I didn't realize that Retribution for the Eternal Night was just Theme of Eastern Story for many months, despite playing IN a ton. Oh, here's a good one- I knew of Touhou through Undertale (with Touhou being a huge inspiration for the game), and at one point watched a video of PCB's Stage 5. I thought the character was a spaceship, which is tooootally the spriting's fault. I only remember the stage in the video because there were cherry blossoms and I remembered the stairs leading up through the Netherworld. Once I started getting into Touhou, I confused Sakuya's named with the word "sakura," and assumed she was the boss at the end of the stage I had seen, and that she was the final boss of the game. I further confused it by listening to the SWR version of Flowering Night, and thinking that it was her theme in the boss fight I had seen (I didn't remember the exact music, okay.) So yeah, I thought Sakuya was the stage 5 boss of PCB/SWR, was the final boss, and that her theme in that game (which didnt exist, at least not my interpretation of it) was Flowering Night. Thanks to Lunate Elf, I thought Cirno was an elf at first. That's all I've got for now. Post y'alls' funny stories! |

I wondered for some time which of these people were Cirno. I thought Keine's name rhymed with "line". I can't think of any more off the top of my head. |
| Hello Purvis:
I just to wonder why the faeries were so mad at me. What a heady era that was!! |
| Tengukami:
I was unaware of Focus or Bomb, which made game play interesting. I didn't think Touhou was an anime, but I did believe there was a separate Touhou cast that was in an anime series. Was convinced there was no way I could beat any of these games, or ever come to grips with the entire cast. |

I thought Keine was pronounced like the German word, so i thought she was German has well, and i thought Shinmyoumaru was a man. In the very beginning, i thought Aya was the main character because of some thumbnails and her theme. Before i played EoSD, in my mind Patchouli was the last boss, and after she utterly beated me on my first try, i was still convinced of it. I was convinced the game couldn't get harder ... And to finish, i thought Reimu was an artificial being like Vivit that Yukari created, since her ribbon looked like cat ears. |
