東方輝針城 ~ Double Dealing Character (Touhou 14)

Post by Validon98 »

Looks like ZUN has finally released some info on Touhou 14, which is named 東方輝針城 ~ Double Dealing Character. The blogpost is here. A few things:
It's supposed to be about everyone's weapons being stolen, or something like that.
Sakuya returns.
The gameplay is going to be more "simplistic" (read: no UFO or Trance-system thing).
I think that covers it. I assume the trial will be released along with Hopeless Masquerade later this month.
Because Touhou OCs can in fact exist, sounds fake I know.

I can't change my username but I go by Vali/Claire now (aka call me Vali or Claire at your leisure ^^).

I never update this currently playing section anymore, it's probably an RPG or something.

Guess ZUN hasn't forgot about Sakuya after all.

More incentive to get off my butt and 1cc the rest of the 2hu games with all shot-types. At the very least, just normal mode. I don't think I'm ready for extra yet, and I need some more practice before I can clear Hard mode (I can get to Remi's last spellcard on EoSD, IIRC!).

The way it sounds, Koba, you're already prepared enough to tackle Extra. Although being good at Hard helps, the Extra stages are something you beat by learning them. You won't beat them if you don't try them, even if you are still on Normal. ^^;

The story is more something along the lines of 'People's weapons are being posessed, and youkai are getting rowdy near the Human Village! We need to do something'.
Also, the trial will indeed be released on the 26. This is going to be hard, choosing between two games...

Oh right, there was a new character. She looks to be wearing some robe, has red hair and a blue hat and is carrying a sword.

Nah, I have the same feeling. It's like the whole Mima thing. I like Mima and I like Sakuya, but I don't want to get involved in the whole "WHEN ARE MIMA AND SAKUYA COMING BACK GAHHHHHHHHHHHH" thing. It's more annoying than anything. >.>

So far the only one I tried was EoSD Extra and I can barely get past Laevateinn.

I may try PCB Extra one of these days but

I think more thats a Bow instead of an Hat. And that "Sword" is actually one of Sakuyas trowing Dagger.

Both looking forward to it and not looking forward to it. Looking forward to it because... well, because it's Touhou. Not looking forward to it because the hardware requirements for the games are getting increasingly higher.

ZUN art is becoming pretty good art, indeed.

I guess I'm rather excited, since from what ZUN said in the blog post, it's supposed to be more simplified, which makes me happy, since 12 and 13's gameplay mechanics honestly make them pretty unfun for me.

Although, what I cannot ignore and will probably hold against the game for all time is the lack of Sanae. All of my sadness that I might possibly maybe blame Sakuya for on a bad day.

We're opposites in that regard, then. ()^_^ In all truthfulness, I've never cared all that much for Sanae. It's just one additional shrine maiden to mess up my playing and send me spiralling headlong into distant bullets.

I appreciate the fact that Sakuya is playable too, but not so much for playing Sakuya (she's been pretty cool in PCB, but I liked Sanae's and Youmu's shot types as well, so it doesn't make much of a difference) and more because it means she's still an active part of the main franchise instead of a background character. I'm one of those people who didn't mind Yuyuko's "demotion" to a stage 1 boss either because I think a half-assed battle (I'm talking about Yuyuko's, not ZUN's effort, if that wasn't clear) is better than staying confined to the ending.

Was recycled with Murasa i guess...

Actually... my favorite comeback-char is actually Rikako Asakura.

What about Mima?
Just kidding. If I hear "WHY ISN'T MIMA BACK?" one more time, I'm going to punch someone, preferably the one who said it. I'd rather have Kana, Yumemi, Shinki, or Meira back. Of course, that's not happening any time soon, so the point is moot as far as I'm concerned.
Also, I was fine with Yuyuko being a Stage 1 boss too. I mean, does every danmaku fight HAVE to be serious?

I don't have any liking for the PC-98 characters one way or another, so I can't agree or disagree with any of that. I've cleared Lotus Land Story, but since Yuuka reappears later on anyway... :|

Out of all the PC-98 characters, I'd like to see
Sariel
return the most, but that will never happen.

I don't care too much about most PC-98 characters so I guess I'd have to say I'd be pretty alright with Yumemi and Chiyuri making a return, because of Strawberry Crisis and folding chairs.

And maybe Shingyoku too. The Positive and Negative~

Too bad they're pretty unlikely.
