    As Eiki Shiki the Judge herself, I completely agree with his statement. PoFV is the only Touhou game with Eiki playable, thus making it the best Touhou game ever. (Definitely not based)

    I think it’s one of the saddest games for its story. Sprits from the outside world come to Gensokyo to see the flowers. Plus the game was released in 2005, and if you subtract 60 from Eiki’s theme (fate of sixty years) you get 1945. The year the pacific war between Japan and the USA ended. Just imagine if these spirits were just innocent lives who perished from WWII.

    In terms of lore, TH9 is one of the most expansive. Where most games have ~4 pc's x 6 stages ≈ 24 character interactions, TH9 has 16 pc's x 13 stage ≈ 208 different character interactions. Can get a lot better idea of each character's personality, drives, and flaws in PoFV than most games.

    • @ssjcrafter8842
      @ssjcrafter8842 Рік тому +4

      TH9's calculation you made is wrong.
      first of all, not all character interactions are unique, and you don't interact with all characters in a run.
      second of all, except for the 2 last stages or so, most dialogue is WAY shorter than usual... like, barely a couple of lines.

    3:37 Yeah, that's Tewi.
    11:33 Reimu:"You did it! You did it before!" Yuuka:"This isn't Touhou 4, Reimu."(Btw, it is. It is the fourth mainline Windows Era-game, lmao. Plus, her PC98 version was last seen in a game of this style. It will remain my favorite reference until the end of time and it would only be more amazing if ZUN somehow did it unintentionally)
    12:34 Spooky Reimu staying behind.
    12:38 Marisa definitly has issues. But instead of giving proper therapy, this witch simply gets told "be better or rip"
    12:45 Sakuya when she dies in cold space because her fate is somehow possible maybe connected to the moon in some way:
    12:51 Youmu:"What is judgement? Can I cut it?"
    13:19 I mean, yeah. They are technically not even real people. I just imagine this being like telling a robot that it is doomed because it follows its programming.(Actually, that reminds me of a character from Megaman looking completely defeated and done when confronted with the exact same conflict)
    14:43 I guess TH3 is the mama-black sheep then because it stands out even more than this Phantasmagoria-game does. Like, being so incredibly disconnected from the rest of the series that the only reminders of its existance are basically just the times concepts mentioned in the game were reused later. And this is not even usual PC98 to windows-disconnectivity, even inside PC98 itself, it feels more akin in relevance to dolls in pseudo paradise in that it could vanish completely and nobody besides the hardcore fans would notice it is gone.
    18:40 Man, that certainly did not age well. I mean, TH19 certainly has its lovers, but the general consensus right now seems to be that it is fun to meme about how it is similar to the fanmade TH3 remake...except possibly being even more messy.

    • @Dukstless
      @Dukstless Рік тому

      None of the PC98 games are really that interconnected, though, if at all. A fucking midboss appears more than most PC98 characters (hi Hikariko).
      If any game is incredibly disconnected, it's the first one really. Pretty sure ZUN never meant to release it and he just happened to use Mima in the next game.
      Like shit, there's like no dialogue in first game aside from the ending and the story is non-existent even for PC98.

    Solo Touhou players don't understand the peak that is this game, I was lucky enough to be in university when it dropped and had a group of, competitive fighting game playing, Lunatic mode beating weebs to play against with local coop and it firmly cemented this game as a top tier title in my mind.

  • @niczaz58

    PoFV was my first ever purely because i was obsessed with flowering night and sakuya in general and i never thought about any of this till i played EoSD earlier this year, i'd still go as far as saying it's my favorite tho since there's just something about it i miss when playing more traditional touhou games that i can't quite put my finger on
    only thing i don't miss is the tap firing, my hands would die after playing even just a single round lol

  • @GBlastMan

    I love that somebody mentioned the inspirations for this game existance, im a huge Twinkle Star Sprites fan and i used to play the fuck out of that game with my sister (emulated of course) and i will always love PoFV because 2 reasons:
    -One because well it reminds me of Twinkle Star Sprites so much and how insanely fun is to play against others and learning how to deal tons of damage and combos fast, and also the unpreditability of the game that keeps you on your toes all the time.
    -Two, because it reminds me of the old pre windows era games, where they were more about "there is 6 badguys reimu! go save the day!" and then hiliarity insues and in the end there is a nonsensical and dumb ending that might have something to do with what's going on in the background or its just a dumb one off thing that characters does as a joke in the end.
    I do love the more serious, lore driven games we got after this one, but i really like touhou when it doesnt takes itself too seriously and just goes with the motions, see what sticks and what not, have a good healty laugh at some jokes, i hope Touhou 19 brings back some of that because i really want it to have some fun and self awareness of the silly and dumb stuff and just be what Touhou was before, a silly fairytale-like story that just wants to have some fun while having some interesting lore here and there.

  • @lyrica-live
    @lyrica-live Рік тому +2

    Preach!~ I love to see that PoFV love!
    The diverse cast and the laid-back atmosphere are definitely its prime selling points in my opinion! I totally agree with what you said about the laid-back vibes embodying the core character of the Touhou series, or at least what I personally nostalgically see as such.
    At the same time, it seems worth noting that there are some surprisingly serious undertones about the "incident" -- with the 60-year cycle relating to war and other disasters in the outside world. In one SCoOW article, ZUN commented that PoFV was "the right time to introduce the outside world and meta elements into the game," and I appreciate it for possibly being that sort of transition point in his storytelling approach, because I do value those qualities of mature messaging in the newer games too. (Actually, maybe EoSD was the only mainline Windows game that was ever 100% unserious in its themes?) The contrast, itself, of meaningful undertones yet a laid-back overall package that really just encourages you to enjoy it... that might be the most Touhou-like thing of all to me, and PoFV is just a really good and unique balance of all that good Touhou-y stuff, even despite its unconventional formatting. As you nicely explained!
    And I'll keep your gameplay tips in mind if I manage to pick it up again as dedicatedly as I used to be~

  • @billman__1010
    @billman__1010 Рік тому +15

    I unironically think that the game you showed towards the end- Unconnected Marketeers- is the best game for the exact same reasons you put out. The Ability Card Trade isn’t as much of a hectic incident compared to what’s going on, and it pays a heavy homage to the cast with its large amount of Ability Cards referencing characters from across the series. It’s also bold in its design through that very system, giving the game a level of replayability that IMO not even PoFV had in a long time; UM’s roguelike elements make it quite the standout compared to the rest.
    And the music, GOD. From Shower of Strange Occurrences to Fantastic Underground Railway Network and from Smoking Dragon to Immemorial Marketeers and so on, this entry has probably the best overall balance and variety between its tracks. The quality of the songs in this game are just a step above some of the previous entries in this series, which usually have been leaning hard into one or the other (looking at you, Keiki’s theme). And its characters are also very cool, as well, seeing archetypes that not only fit well into Gensokyo at large, but also they’re refreshing in that they don’t exactly rehash much but add a modern spin to the old character archetypes the series sort of had.
    UM, by your regards, is as close to PoFV as a main shooter can get (at least not until UDoALG), and it is also my favorite as well!

      Also I don't really like the themes from UM that much and I don't think its variety is that great.
      My favorite theme overall is probably "The Great Fantastic Underground Railway Network" as you mentioned and second is probably "Lunar Rainbow".
      Some of its themes, such as "A Shower of Strange Occurrences" and "The Cliff Hidden in Deep Green" to me sound a little... Hm.. how do I say this without upsetting someone...
      generic? Compare this to stage one of SoEW, LLC, EoSD, PCB, IN, MoF, SA, UFO, TD and LoLK which are pretty great. It's been a trend since 14 to have disappointing stage 1 themes.
      Also, I prefer my final boss theme to be "Final Bossy" not whatever you would consider Chimata's theme, fun, I guess.

I just like the character models, their background stories (especially byakuren, I'm sad when I read the background and listen to the music) ) and for sure the theme of the music is perfect for me, the thing that makes me feel comfortable is..in every failure that I try in completing my 1cc stage, I feel closer to his character, and in the end, I manage to beat him and... yahhh, so far, byakuren is the key that makes me favorite touhou 12 as my best touhou game (for now)

    (Haven't watched the video yet, but gonna post what I've wrote long before while views are hot)
    (Hey it's my doc on 4:22, check the link at the end of this comment)
    An amazing game even if flawed at some points (some bugs, some balance, but still is very solid in overall). A great genre about which the world simply doesn't knows, that is vs shmup, it is tons of fun and skill, very similar to fighting games. Maybe one day someone will make a better, modern implementation of such, and it will blow up or at least gather an active community. I don't have much faith in ZUN and 19 but maybe, maybe... I wish to do it myself inside my own fantasy universe, but how many years it will take huh... Will be sad if someone will make it a lot sooner than me, and it will blow up with many (poor) clones. Myself I have 1500+ pvp matches in PoFV, also wrote PoFV Fundamentals\PvP guide, participated in many tournaments, though I'm not among the very top players, just very high skill one, there is plenty of more crazy guys, but it's mainly because they just dodge better. The latter is a big deal though, since it's 50% of success in PoFV and has limitless ceiling, and which AI proves. Beside fun and skill there is obviously enough of random going on too, but it's not that bad as it may appear.
    As to AI then yeah, vs mode Lunatic one is a total bs unless you abuse Aya or Medicine, but it's a good practice of survival for you, even if bot makes unreasonable decisions about his meter use. You can get SpoilerAl and force the bot to use only l2 spells though, or make the bot\yourself invincible for a better practice for example.

    I agree, the best game was touhou 9, since you have the same chance to win as the computer. :) And it has much more randomness than the others, those require less reflexes and much, much more memory. :D

      There is an option to let you hold the attack button by replacing the charge with focus (so you just focus while attacking instead of stopping the attack to charge) although it feels weird for me so i dont use it, but try it out to see if it helps.

      Tbh, it is easy to forget because the game's legacy is basically "the game you play Mima in"...except for the other game you play her in, that being TH5. So yeah, it doesn't really have a legacy besides "being the first" at a lot of things and having concepts mentioned in it recycled for TH8 and the Maribel-stories.

    phantasmagoria is not a bad game, just left much to be desired from gameplay perspective. Bot that's really good at dodging and super RNG attacks are some of the downsides that make the gameplay so unbearably annoying to many fans. The fact that ZUN eventually released UDoALG which is basically new and improved phantasmagoria (Chiyari issue aside) shows that phantasmagoria isn't exactly the 'underrated masterpiece', just a prototype released too early too soon it missed all the good points it could've hit

    this video is a lot better than past ones, but your pronunciation of zun is still painful, like intentionally mispronouncing characters is one thing but someone's name? that's legitimately disrespectful. dude created the series that your entire channel is built around. the least you can do is pronounce his name correctly, right?

      @@Suwawako that's cool and all, but it's still the way his name is pronounced. most people don't really like it when people intentionally pronounce their name wrong. and i know this may sound silly, but there's definitely a considerable amount of fans who learn things via UA-cam videos like this, and because of that, a lot of content creators feel that they have a duty of care to avoid misinforming people, even if it's just a running joke.
