      On a sliiightly more bitter note: About a month before HSiFS was released there was an attack on a care centre for the disabled in Sagamihara; a former caretaker went in and started stabbing people, leaving 19 dead and another 26 injured, later claiming that it was all for the sake of euthanizing people that he thought were better off dead. This horrible event was berely even covered in Japanese media, since the disabled are heavily discriminated against, and so ZUN decided to subtly bring some attention to the way Japan was silencing the struggles of those who most urgently need a voice... Enter TH16, in which Okina Matara, goddess of outcasts, incites an Incident, partially in order to just remind the world that "Hey, I am still here, you know. Even though you don't hear from me very often, I still exist." and also to send a message to her fellow sages and make them talk about her again.

      @@TheDevNell Me, too. But at the same time I also respect his decision to hold off on that since he felt uncomfortable about portraying a handicapped person with no frame of reference in regards to what being handicapped is like. Also, like he mentioned in some interview a while later; having you beat up a woman in a wheelchair who just wanted people to stop ignoring her did not feel right after the Sagamihara massacre. Still, I'm glad he decided to go for his original idea in Visionary Fairies in Shrine... Now, if we could only get another title in the HM line of fighting games with Okina as a playable character so we can have a game with all three sages playable, that would just be plain sweeeet~

    I adore Marisa and Okina's interactions. They're so fun. Mostly, it highlights a lot of what makes Marisa great. She picked up on Okina's abilities in one round, and not only managed to replicate it, but put her own spin on the magic to negate Okina's advantage. It's such a great showing of how clever and resourceful Marisa can be.
    Okina herself is also great in the extra stages. She's intense and dismissive of the protagonists in the Stage 6 dialogue, but with the extra stage she shows a lot of different things. Reimu's stage she's really flippant and kind of goofing off, and Cirno's she's just confused. But with Marisa, she openly acknowledges Marisa's abilities and has that great banter about showing off their strength to others. Aya's dialogue is probably my favorite of the bunch though, because it highlights what I feel is a big difference between her and Yukari. When Aya wins, she initially depreciates the win, saying she was only able to do so with a massive handicap. Instead of pushing that angle, Okina actively builds Aya up, saying that she decided to fight without seasonal powers in recognition of Aya's courage, and that the win is completely valid and Aya should feel proud. It feels very different to me from how Yukari approaches others, especially with AoCF where Yukari...actively sabotages Miko and Byakuren so that she alone can be seen resolving the incident. Okina's definitely self-important, but she strikes me as someone who cares a lot less about appearances, at least in the sense of having to be in complete control. She's commanding and on top of things, but she still builds people up in an active way. I really love Okina's character, and I really hope we see more of her.

    Tl;dr at bottom.
    Marisa is definitely the best character in this game. Or rather, the most impressive, and I'm talking storywise rather than gameplay wise.
    In taking on Okina the second time it was obvious to all but Cirno that going back the exact same way would yield the exact same result. Thus, a change was made.
    -On Reimu's end, she obviously got assistance from Yukari. While Reimu definitely has recieved guidance from Yukari in using borders and gaps, she doesn't really have access to boundaries like Yukari does.
    -Cirno simply chose the right back door to go through; that is, Eternity's. If Eternity is the Tokoyo no Kami like Okina says, then the fact that Eternity's power would be of the Tokoyo no Kuni would make sense in changing Cirno's power to doyou, what with the Tokoyo no Kuni being a land of invariance and immortality in sharp contrast to the passing of time that the seasons symbolize (I'm thinking too hard on this one lol)
    -Aya, being the old ass youkai she is, simply uses her own power to change her attacks' nature, which admittedly isn't as impressive since we all know Aya is particularly strong and skillef as far as youkai go in general (contrary to her behavior).
    -Marisa likewise does the same thing after speaking with Narumi and proceeding through the door on her back. I'm probably making too big a deal out of this too but whereas our other three protagonist either got special aid or were special themselves, Marisa simply worked out the solution and put get own magic toward the solution, which I love.
    Tl;dr Marisa is great.

    • @GrahamChapman
      @GrahamChapman 5 років тому +18

      Well, that _is_ pretty much Marisa's schtick: She doesn't have über haxorz contacts or inherent talent like Reimu, she doesn't have the superhuman powers of youkai like Aya does, she doesn't have Cirno's... whatever it is that makes Cirno special... An attunement with nature that instinctively leads her right? An unwavering spirit accompanied with immortality that allows her to try, try and try again until she either succeeds or grows bored? The unfailing rotten luck of a complete idiot? Regardless, Marisa doesn't have it: Within the Touhou Project, she's the underdog getting by on nothing but pluck and hard work. And booze.

Okina's powers are implied to be related to magic, so it would make sense that Marisa could understand the mechanics behind it and make her own spin on it if she needed. Absolutely no idea how Aya pulled it off. Maybe something to do with tengu being opposed to Okina means they have some inherent access to her weakness? No idea.

    I personally cleared the Extra Stage before 1cc-ing Normal
    BTW At 14:08 Alternatively you can use a glitch in the game. If you use a season released during the Spell Card, Okina will gain a health bar, and the Spell Card will end if her health reach zero. And you don't have to survive for the original intended time. You can thank me later.

    I just want to say that this EX Stage was probably not done with Reimu in mind: she absolutely demolishes this is a way it's not even funny (or should I say it's completely hilarious, given I only ever cleared this as Reimu anyways).
    As for the stage itself, I really like the back-shot gimmick. My favorite release spot is the wave of orbs right before Okina, just stay in the middle and release when they come. I also really like Mai/Satono as midbosses, they have fun spells, but I still feel scared of Twin Typhoons because I never bothered with their amulets in the main game so I just bomb that card.
    Okina is really fun. I remember taking time to learn almost all her spells (my favorite being Danmaku Dupion), but it's a sad thing that her Survival card has a bug with the release system in that you can release and she'll gain a health bar (and you can, in fact, finish her off to end it early). I also love that Marisa considered taking the job~ same with Cirno, though in her scenario Okina just says she'll wait because they have all the time in the world. And I like that Aya's Extra was solely because she wanted an interview.

    HSiFS is one of my favorite in the series, despite its easy difficulty. It's easy to compare it to Super Mario 3D world (what a strange analogy), it's quite easy, but makes up for it with some very creative stages, wonderful music, and a Great atmosphere!!

  • @Primate541
    @Primate541 5 років тому

    Using season release you can completely trivialise some of the attacks.
    The waves of enemies that spawn in the centre from 2:05 can all be immediately killed without any of them firing a single bullet by releasing above the spot where they spawn. The point to sit is in the centre in line between the power and graze icons on the UI. There's zero risk and you get far more points doing it this way, ending the section with double the points you normally would have, almost enough to get your first extend.
    The waves of enemies that spawn from 4:30 can be dealt with entirely by just staying in the middle as they spawn. When the wave of bullets is about to hit you, use a release then move up as the enemies themselves converge on your location, killing them and point of collecting. This will get you a lot of PIV and you'll regain your release from the amount of bullets cancelled.
    In Okina's spellcard "Secret Ceremony 'Performers Unattached to Society" at 13:24 follow above Okina to one side, then after she starts returning to the other side move down into the corner she vacates and use a season release to cancel the bottom bullets before they disperse upwards. Then just hang in that corner until Okina heads back. By doing this you don't have to dodge any of the upward moving projectiles and only need dodge the very slowly moving downward ones.

    • @MegamanOmega184
      @MegamanOmega184  5 років тому +12

      Very interesting, though do keep in mind he didn't put Okina like this to "sacrifice an Extra boss to show off her extreme power" rather this was the alternate to his original plan. Originally he was going to have an Imperishable Night type deal where you unlocked the fifth season sub-season by beating the game once, then play the game again with it to unlock the Extra Stage (having a Stage 6a and Stage 6b again). Then he'd have a unique character for the Extra stage.
      Though he decided against that (and a few other ideas as well, like having to beat the game with every sub-season to unlock the Extra) cause it was too tedious. Ultimately showing off Okina like this was less of a story focused reason and more of his traditional "I just wanted to do something different to surprise people" reasoning.
      At the same time though, I do like the story significance her and others have gotten. Too often characters get introduced in a game and then are completely forgotten to the wayside after the fact (take for example out of the entire LoLK cast only Doremy, Clownpiece and a couple Hecatia cameos have really appeared in anything after the game). Come this game however it's the opposite with Nemuno and the dancer pair being the only ones who _haven't_ appeared after the game (Eternity made a bunch of appearances in VFiS, Aunn is shown as a regular in Reimu's shrine in WaHH, the recent chapter of CoLA had a big part of it dedicated to Narumi and Okina making appearances in WaHH). It's going to be interesting to see what IS does with these things going forward. Especially with more info on Kasen coming forwad plus Okina being who she is, I'm interested to se what IS does now that he's bringing the "Sages that created Gensokyo" to the surface.

    Out of curiosity Mega, will you be playing "The disappearing of gensokyo" in the future? Also what happened to Fantastic Danmaku festival? I was sure I saw it on a previous poll but it isnt there any more.

    This is such a weird Extra boss battle. Some cards are so easy it makes you wonder "why is this in an Extra?" and in others it feels near impossible without releases.
    That survival has to be the worst one though. Easily the most embarrassing timeout card I've seen in the entire series. Even worse when you can literally glitch Okina's lifebar in with your season release, making it just downright pointless.

      2:04 there is a easier yet risky way to do it, stay a little up, but not in the part where you auto collect, more like where the firsg Yinyangs appear, now, when you literally see the YinYangs approach RELEASE, then do it with all the other waves and continue the level

    How about your release schedule for VD? I am not sure you want to spend 22 weeks especially since there are days where there are only one scene.

      I'm going to be doing twice a week videos like StB, DS and SCC with each video covering a single day-ish. Some videos however will have 2 days in them though cause yes, as you say some of those days have just literally once scene in them (and being a story scene no less, so it's not really a challenge either).
      They almost always act like a "prologue" to what the next day is gonna throw at you, so it makes sense to mix those with an actual full day of spells.

      Nope, since I was doing first impressions and wanted to avoid any potential spoilers for "hard spells to look out for" I did my recordings long before any of that came out. I did it shortly after I finished playing Len'en 4 and pretty much the same week the VD english patch came out.

    I don't like this extra stage...i think that is easy compared to other stages like EoSD and PCB or DDC. The boss really don't do very dificult spell cards. Don't kill me for saying that

      Nah, you're not wrong (I mentioned in my closing thoughts this game is quite easy like IN and TD). However I think it's important that ZUN does this every now and then for the health of the series. People getting into Touhou need easier than average games to start with and this is definitly one of those easier games.
      Similarly if ZUN _only_ tried making hard games the series would either become aggravating (imagine if ZUN tried designing UFO to be harder than SA. And then TD harder than that UFO, and then DDC even harder than _that_) or just get stale once you hit the plateau of "this game can't get any harder without being unfun" (I feel the Donpachi series hit that point of trying to be harder and harder with each passing game until they hit a wall as opposed to making a sequel a bit easier than the last).
      So I think it's ultimately good that Touhou games seem to "reset their difficulty" every few games to help the longevity of the series. After ZUN releases a really hard game he tends to follow it up with a fairly easy one. Then make the next game a bit harder, then a bit harder, then a bit harder before reaching a peak and resetting again.

      @@patchouliknowledge127 Well, the game before this one _did_ introduce us to Clownpiece, so I dunno if I would've felt good about TH16 being another ragefest. I'd say a brutal game flanked by one or two reasonably easy ones is a good system... that said, I kinda felt that he did Okina a disservice by making this a very easy title in the series. I mean, she _is_ supposed to be one of the sages, and though we did get to see quite a bit of her, thanks to her being both the final and bonus stage boss, I still feel a Yukari-level fight would've been nice... especially that survival card was just plain silly...
      Lately I've been feeling like ZUN's danmaku patters have been slipping, like he's running out of inspiration. Back in the earlier days of the Touhou Project, he had more variety in the bullet types and gimmicks used by the bosses. Compare to the latest games where we've had Junko, whose "gimmick" was basic circles of bullets, and Okina, whose first gimmick was seasons (changing the background _was_ a pretty nice touch) + stealing your powers and then... uhm... did she even have an Extra stage gimmick? See, this is what I'm talking about: I don't think Okina _had_ a gimmick in the Extra stage. And, no, shooting bullets from behind you doesn't count. Seija did that first, she did it for her regular patterns, and she did it way better than Okina to boot... So lately I've been feeling like yu-ke has been overtaking ZUN and greatly improving upon his patterns and gimmicks. And that's kinda sad, because the stuff yu-ke pulls off, like Ringo skewering her dango danmaku and having a hunger meter, is the kinda stuff that ZUN from back in the days very well could've implemented.
