Like I said, all the humans are kept weak and clueless so that they are still good to feed the yokai. the closest anyone else has got to overcoming that are Kosuzu, who is still not really a yokai hunter yet, and the fortune teller, who was murdered for trying to become stronger.

None of the humans can combat yokai, as most parties are trying to actively confuse them. for instance, akyuu keeps them preoccupied with meaningless problems and infighting, so they cant focus on the yokai.

A bit of a simple suggestion, but I would try enter the Gungeon. It may still have the same mechanics that frusturate you, but personally I felt a good sense of progression from it, learning how each thing works and all. it felt the most skill based roguelike to me, with very few instances where it felt like i died because the game was bad.

A three way tie between 16, 17 and 18. There are about 3-5 tracks max I actually remember fondly from playing them, partly due to zuns change in style. If I had to rank the three from favorite to least favorite, it would be 17-16-18. A shame because immemorial marketeers is one of my favorite tracks from the series.

He did in fact state that his siw0n posting days have come to an end. It is time for someone else to take up the mantle (gao)

It looks like the Siw0n posting has come to an end.

sometime touhou is touaoii.

cant wait for them to find gaoo.

I thought tenshi picked the name herself?

I am not the biggest lore buff on how heaven works in touhou. From what i remember, if you are judged white by the yama, you will be allowed to enter into heaven in the afterlife. tenshi, however, very clearly wasnt judged at all, and instead leaves and causes an incident on the surface. isnt the fact alone that she did this a bigger threat than the damage she purposefully caused? If the humans or yokai on earth were to learn, or if they do already know, wouldnt it cause a collapse of morals? after all, there isnt a massive reason to be a good person anymore, as apparently you can just get into heaven no matter how you behave, or when you get there you will only be faced with other people with low morals. Anyone else have a thought on this? is there any piece of the story i just forgot about that explains this?

its triggering your antivirus, you have to mark it as safe.

i remember starting it a while ago, it seemed pretty neat.

The nier bit is interesting, but yoko taro in general is a strange developer too. He basically made his older games (drakengard) in an attempt to make them as "edgy and mature" as possible, with them having to put him on a bit of a leash for the nier series. I do think that the free spiritness of touhou is probably what contributed a lot to its success in fanworks, kinda like how undertale did here in the west.

it feels like popularity in characters started to wane at around 16, as characters from 15 and 15.5 were and are still really popular now (shinmy, junko, jo'on). A lot of it is as you said with oversaturation, but the newer characters just dont seem to have a lot going for them either. like sure, okina and aunn are cool, wbawc cast is really neat too, but do you actually remember anything about nemuno? or even sannyo? thats what made me feel a bit frustrated with how he treated 17.5, by only using old characters and only 3 of the ones who appeared in 16 and above (okina, kutaka, yuuma). he really did just treat his older characters a lot better, with how often they appeared and how much they had to them. makes me feel like zun is getting a little burnt out. PLS PLS PLS ZUN MORE CHARACTERIZAATION PLEASE
