It's laid out a little differently than the other games, but you should try Imperishable Night. I've heard some people say it's easier than the others.

If you're referring to me, I've already unlocked the Extra stages on Perfect Cherry Blossom, Imperishable Night, and Mountain of Faith,

Imperishable Night is probably the easiest Touhou aside from the fighting games, at least in my opinion.

EDIT: I've also come the closest to beating Mokou. I believe my best record was....3 spell cards left. Not exactly impressive but I'm proud of it.

Definitely watch Medicine's Melancholy. It is quite touching and it doesn't even take time so there is literally no reason not to.

And beyond that let's carefully attack the one good for sex appeal and see if we can make her desert before heading on to picking up Mokou.

Are you sure it's one affection boost for only one of them? Because it seems like I didn't get the event until both of them got an affection boost.

But yeah, let's watch that and then resume our "2 attacks + defend" tactic.

And seeing as I pretty much fail at the danmaku games in general (especially after Mountain of Faith), I got nothing to contribute to that.

Let's Play Sengoku Gensokyo - Day 60

Lots of juicy cutscenes today. So much so that I didn't bother attacking the Hidden House yet, because I didn't want even more cutscenes to copy.

My Medicine has yet to earn a single affection bonus, so I'm pretty sure you don't need it for both.

I read that you only need an affection boost for one of the pair as well, but it didn't seem to work until they both got a boost. Either that, or my memory fails and I'm believing that they both had them when they actually didn't. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure what Medicine would have been doing with an affection boost since I only planned on using her after the event.

I had the misfortune of seeing Tewi's special successfully used, during the final battle for the Yakumo territory, and right at the end of the battle no less. I prioritized defeating the Yakumos over her and I had no idea what her special was, so I didn't know something like that would happen. Instantly losing about 100 points of territory was...not amusing.

And finally, "mud cakes with walnuts"?

At least you don't really see it that often. And it won't help too much if you just eliminate the opposing team outright, but DOES stand to be an absolute killer.

Can anyone else tell who those shadowy figures are just from those shadows? I think it might have helped to put less detail into the hair.

Also, I am quite sure that both of them need the affection. When only Yuuka had accumulated affection I had never gotten the scene even while Medicine was in the party. Same goes for the magicians.

Still, if you really don't have any affection accumulated for Medicine, I just don't know anymore.

Do you mean, who are they? Or can anyone else tell who they are besides me?

Because I'm pretty sure I know who they are.

It should be easy to tell who the shadows are if you're knowledgeable about how all of the characters in Touhou look. I couldn't when I first played, since I was unfamiliar with those games and thus didn't know the characters at the time, but the silhouettes are actually pretty distinctive now that I know.

I didn't know the characters when i played. However, references to an older world should give a good hint as to where they are from at least. Also i won't ruin their grand entrance by spoiling it, that entrance gets ruined quite thoroughly by the actual characters in the game anyway.

I will say that they are awesome in this game, though.

Also that cutscene with Medicine and Yuuka is so adorable and heartwarming. I really like that the people making this game took that kind of effort to develop a character as rarely seen as Medicine.

When will be able to recruit Mokou, because I'm not sure if she can fight against Kaguya, or if we have to beat Eientei to get her. Might as well bring Keine for this attack to get some good old caving.

As soon as we capture her house. Mokou didn't want to be a part of Eientei's team remember?

Of course I was going to recruit Mokou. Like my audience would let me live if I were to leave her behind...But in all honesty, she's a great unit, so I'm always happy to recruit her.

Yay! All is well in the Fantasy Kitchen Sink.

Ok, let's go pound on Hakugyokurou now.



Just want to add that Mokou rezzed 4 times against the last boss for me. (didn't win that battle though, which stank )

I never let her die that much...but when I was fighting her she once resurrected 4 times herself. She's probably one of the most irritating foes in the game because of the random revival chance.


Anyways, yeah, definitely add Mokou onto one of the battle teams. Preferably next to Keine. Now all that's left is to go beat up Kaguya. Why does she look so...weird in this game anyways?

Basically, the game has about fifteen different artists with distinct styles. Some of them give characters a rather weird look.

Personally, I dislike all of the game's art, but eh.

That's just it. I like some of the artists (whoever did the Higan Team, for example), but some of it just gives me the creeps. In particular, there's one of Reimu where I think the artist was going for the "confused head tilt", but it just looks like her neck is suddenly sprouting out of her cheekbone. I wouldn't mind if the artwork were universally good or universally bad (hey, I could at least get used to consistent crap) but the juxtapositions can be rather jarring. Had the same problem with Touhou Labyrinth incidentally.

I think Touhou Labyrinth skipped the whole art style schizophrenia in favour of being universally awful.


For me, some of the worst are Kaguya, Yuuka and Youmu. But yes, they're all pretty bad.

Huh. I thought Yuuka looked fairly good. Meiling on the other hand....

Reisan looks goofy too.

I think in this game, the art work ranges from adorable to creepy to just plain weird.

As for our next action, if we have Mokou somehow enter Hakugyokurou despite being a Hourai immortal due to gameplay and story segregation, we will be attacking a greater threat. Otherwise take out Kaguya, so Eirin won't be helping her.

Mokou is indeed awesome in this game and with Keine also being great and the two giving each other a bonus, it starts getting a bit ridiculous.

And i vote we stick to one enemy at a time. There is no real strategic basis for this, it's just tidier.

Finally, i have to say that there is no question that Kaguya has the worst art in the game. I mean, just look at her. And she's supposed to be the most beautiful person in Gensokyo too.

I understand what you mean by bad art, she has no mouth. How is she speaking?

Well, I wouldn't call it ugly. It's just very awkward and also cute in a sense.

For the Labyrinth of Touhou artwork, I think that Sakuya, Alice, and Reisen probably look the worst. Sakuya and Alice's faces are like polygons and Reisen...well, yeah.

Frankly, I don't think any of the art in either of the games is too terrible. At the most, I might make a face or something, but you just have to get used to it I guess.

Also, I can't draw to save my life, so I really have no right to criticize anyone's drawing ability.

I can't draw either. But I do have my opinions on what looks good or not.

To be honest, I like this game's artwork. LoT...not so much.

This. Aside from the fact that the only type of criticism I give is constructive criticism, and I usually expect that from others, too, so yeah.

Oh, also, yay for Mokou. :3
