The Daily Touhou Best Topic

[Tsym]

Septette for me.  I like it the way it originally is.  I haven't heard a remix that stays true to the melody and theme.

Much Honorable Mention goes to Emotional Skyscraper.  Almost came close but I feel that Septette has a much stronger rhythm guiding it throughout.  It's also fairly disjointed, but I like to mentally separate it into various sections when I listen to it so I get the powerful feeling of the instruments without the strange overall feeling.

Second Honorable mention goes to Flight of the Bamboo Cutter, just because it reminds me of something that I can't put my finger on, and I haven't figured out what it is yet .

Cosmic Mind is the best freaking final boss theme ever.

This, but honorable mention to History of the Moon.

Lunatic Princess can go die.

[Garlyle]

I have to admit, pretty much every final boss track is wonderful.  I haven't ever been disappointed, even with PC-98.

However, as the specification is stage 6 boss, that rules out a few games by itself.  Plus, for me, it takes Border of Life down a notch or three, because that's two separate themes and they only work best together.

And like a lot of people, I think the instrumentation in 6 keeps it from being awesome, although it's still damn good.

I'm going with Cosmic Mind as a favourite right now, given that set of circumstances and how beautiful it is.  Although Infinite Being is close behind 'cause it's wonderful.

If it's any final boss overall though... probably Yuyuko's or Kaguya's fight as accompanied by the music due to epic buildup and last spell; or, for a single track, Fate of Sixty Years

Fucking final spell Border of Life!

I like them all, but if I have to choose Favorite it would have to be Nuclear Fusion.

[Jaimers]

And I really wanna hear ZUN redo his PC-98 songs with current instruments.

A few people actually remade a few PC-98 songs to what they would sound like in the Windows games, and vice-versa.
Here have MS stage 3 remastered.
Or Mima's theme remastered.

My favourite for stage 6 would probably be Infinite Being. It fits perfectly for the fight with Shinki.
Can't wait for them to remaster that song.

[Alfred F. Jones]

Fate of Sixty Years.

You all suck.

[Gpop]

Here have MS stage 3 remastered.

I...fucking cried...my beautiful favourite Stage 3 theme...so beautiful...

[Helepolis]

Actually, I yet have to hear a bad stage 6 theme from ZUN. So far none.

[RainfallYoshi]

Gensokyo Millenium ~ History of the Moon

Seriously the lack of this theme in this topic is depressing.

Tbh, this theme is the third weakest I've heard from ZUN in the windows game.

The second being Septette (orginal from EoSD) and the worst being Suwa Foughten Field.

[Esoterica]

and the worst being Suwa Foughten Field.

Suwa Foughten Field is nothing short of a masterpiece.

Speaking from around 150...no, it really doesn't. :V

QFT man!

About 150 here! lol :V

[Gpop]

It doesn't stand out at all to me.

When I first heard it, and beat Kanako, I'm all, "That's it? That's it? I had to fight an ugly-ass goddess with a pretty bad theme? My god ZUN you definitely lost it."

[Demonbman]

Final Boss would have to be Bloom Nobly, Cherry Blossoms of Sumizone...but on another note curse you PCB!

By the time I beat EoSD lunatic stage 6 without dying, I had played the stage over 250 times, and I still loved Septette. I agree with whoever said they enjoy the original best.

Too bad it doesn't actually sound like a good emulation ZUN's work, but these are good nonetheless.

Number 10!

What is your favorite bomb?

Now MASTA SPAAAAAAAAAAAAK is definitely awesome, but I think this one goes to SA ReimuA, for utility.  It is absurdly easy to get back all your power, done right, and is still the best bomb in the game on the best shot type.  SA MarisaC also gets an honorable mention for card capping purposes.

[Kanako Yasaka]

Private Square. It's so much fun to use and so useful too.

[LHCling]

Favorite?

UFO!MarisaB's "Ultimate Short-Wave".

[Demonbman]

YAY! Favourite Bomb! Froggy Nuke wipes em' all out!

[Seian Verian]

I'm gonna go with the obvious and say Master Spark. Dear god, the first time I saw it, I was like: O_O "WHOA!!! ...That's incredible!" Awesome beam that hits the whole screen? Yes please!

[nintendonut888]

There are some kickass bombs in this series, both in looks and utility, but my vote has to go for froggy nuke. It was enough to make me think Sanae B was worth my time for a while.

[Matsuri]

Either PCB SakuyaB's Private/Perfect Square, or SA ReimuA's bomb.

[COPIRIGHTO]

I like Master Spark, Optical Camouflage, whatever youmu's was, and SanaeA's

[ebarrett]

A toss-up between Private Square (PCB Sakuya B) and Slash of Present (IN Youmu).

Both scream "screw it, I'm not dodging this shit", each in their own (very) different way. Master Spark? Slash of Present would slice it apart.

[nintendonut888]

Private Square is worth something? It's been ages since I've played Sakuya B, but I remember it being worthless for anything other than stalling out stage sections.

[Matsuri]

That's because you don't play for score.  :V
