| charliebobson:
oh shit theres a third normal battle theme? what floor does it start playing on? |
| LonelyGaruga:
New battle themes play for 21f and beyond, basement floors, and the special Corridor dungeon. |
| charliebobson:
so whats the general consensus on labyrinth of touhou 1? is it better or worse than 2, is it still worth playing after 2? |
| Arcvasti:
LoT2 is generally an improvement in basically every way. The only real edge LoT1 has is that it's probably harder, since you just don't have as many options. LoT1 also has some really obnoxious level gimmicks/puzzles going. LoT1 is still good, just disappointing compared to LoT2. |

I played LoT after playing LoT2 and I enjoyed it significantly more though I still like both games a lot. I'll just briefly mention some things that made me like it more. I found the characters felt much more balanced relative to each other in the first game. One gripe I had with LoT2 is that I'd often feel like I was putting myself at a disadvantage if I wasn't using a character who could accomplish the same role as another but had more options alongside said role. I also much prefer characters having Non-Elemental attacks as opposed to Physical because it felt like I could use who I wanted in any almost situation and their damage wouldn't be hampered as a result of what the enemy affinities were. LoT2 had some enemy balancing issues in my opinion. A lot of the postgame bosses are far too bulky which can often result in characters being unable to do much besides small scratch damage. I think the Plus Disk encounters are also a bit too annoying. They're often really fast and have a lot of HP which makes taking them down before they get a turn can be quite awkward if you aren't running a dedicated frontline to specifically deal with them. LoT Plus Disk also had its share of annoying random encounters but I found them to be a bit more tedious in the sequel. I prefer the SP system over the MP one. I also like that you can level up SP and TP in the library. I hate evasion so the fact that it's completely broken in LoT is a plus for me. I like the puzzles in the first game more than any of the ones in the sequel. I know most people can't stand the Fail Safe switches but I enjoyed having to constantly manage my party to maximize TP so I could reach the really out of the way switches. I the original soundtrack in the first game more than I like the soundtrack from the sequel. They're both good but none of the songs really "wow'd" me in LoT2. I found the boss fights to be more engaging in the first game though I was slightly disappointed with a few of them because I had heard that Alice, Eientei and Rinnosuke were supposedly these impassable walls that would kick your butt over and over again but none of them really felt too difficult despite having not grinded. Rinnosuke did take more than one attempt but the other two I managed to beat on my first try going into them blind. LoT2 has some good bosses as well like Guardian of the Crystals and SoC but I just preferred the ones from LoT. I can't tell you whether this is the consensus or not but I figured I'd offer my personal opinion of the two games. |
