Only thing I can hope is that ZUN doesn't make Touhou 13 a Phantasmagoria. :|
it will happen you shall not interfere
Regarding score threads: For the time being, I'm not going to be online much; I would suggest that you simply do as you normally do, because I will come back and I will want those threads when I do.

ahahha oh wow did NOT expect that one at all. I'm still at stage 8 Ran/Yuyuko in the first one. dam I'm hoping to beat it but i'm really really stuck.
I'm guessing this game is gonna cover, games 10, 11, 12, and Tenshi/Iku somewhere as well. I can't wait for it even if its hard as hell.
I really hope for another PoFV game though. my friend's and i love playin it together and stuff.
Ya'll go ahead and rage. I'm beatin this game without hesitation and full determination. I don't care what the objective is. victory is mine~  8)

Sounds good.

For those interested in more long-hair Aya, just bookmark this and check it out. There've been 2 new pictures since I first found the tag because of how fast Japan moves, so we should have some gorgeous stuff within the next few days~

Meh. I'll play it 3 times, get frustrated at my lack of dodging skills 20 minutes in, then go back to replaying the other games while I wait for 13. I find it kinda strange that I couldn't stomach anything more than a few sessions of StB yet the way I play through the other games borders on self-schadenfreude. Gameplay mechanics, perhaps?

I see nobody here actually cares about the mystery shrouding all the characters that have been introduced after MoF. I must be one of the few that actually care about the background story and profile of each character. There for a PMiSSII / BAiJRII could be arriving around the corner. Especially because 9.5 also covered all EoSD to PoFV chars (including IaMP).

My opinion but if you only care about overhyping speculations about Th13 then I am wondering what kind of Touhou fan you might be? Really, that is just bad imo. Also so many raging on going on IRC and forums now.

I'd love to have something similar to another PMiSS or BAiJR as I certainly have a number of characters that I'm interested in beyond what was covered in the extra material. It certainly helped develop my favorite characters. As for 12.5 itself? Well, I'm glad other people are happy for it, but that's about all I can say about it.

Touhou Project 12.5 Double Spoiler ~ Touhou Bunkachou (StB)

Right now, I'll give you a behind-the-scenes look at this, the second StB.
The people who think "I don't need any new story or plot development. I want something I can play during my lunch break" find themselves enjoying longer games as well, when they play them, so they can be bullied with danmaku.

If I had to describe the game in one sentence, it would be something like "Shameimaru Aya, the Tengu reporter, obstinately captures Youkai, humans, and others with her camera, and creates overblown dramas to put in her newspaper."

The Tengu can cut away danmaku by capturing it in her camera. Using that, she can find ways to avoid her enemies' carefully-prepared danmaku patterns, giving the game something of a puzzle feel.

This game will have completely new characters and scenes from the previous Bunkachou, Shoot the Bullet. The finished product will be sold at the Shanghai Alice booth at Reitaisai (planned to be ?1000). Anyone who's interested, please come!
I'm feeling better about a lot of things.

So yeah it sounds like this could be rather interesting. Pius what's this? New charaters?

Just what is ZUN planning for this Aya based game?

Anyways translation credit goes to Nazerine.

That's one small step for man, one giant leap for Otaku Kind.

Do x.5 games typically delay the release of his non x.5 games? If not, people saying this is bad news need their head checked.

Of course if it does, I personally am on the fence. I like StB, and I expect to like this one, so I'm not upset, but I also like x.0 games, so it wont be all good.

Still though, I think it's kinda cool.

As for phantasmagoria games... Well the last one did suck. But there is that other split-screen shmup game that you guys seem to agree is great. so maybe he can get it right and pull it off some day? Still though, anybody who thinks StB was worse than the last phantasmagoria, you're a weirdo.

That's the proof that after ZUN started drawing ears, he won't stop anymore. (That's Sad.)

TH13: Phantasmagoria of Pointy Ears.

Also, Aya's two ears have been added for extra aerodynamics. That's why its named "Double Spoiler".
And that armband... Reality Warper Aya Suzumiya, Brigade Leader. (It really means that.)

My friend brocoli will be really happy. He's Brazil's only StB Specialist. I'm happy too, since it's more official stuff.

Aya Suzumiya, the Elf.


Another StB, it isn't odd... but it was unexpected... ZUN surprises.
I was waiting for 12.5, and not 13. Really.
Ah... I believe the next will be a Phantasmagoria.

Anyway, I still have to finish StB.

I was thinking that it was due for a StB after 13, but this works for me.

By the way, waiting for everyone to complain about Orin's cards being bullshit after it's released.

I am sort of looking forward to this, since once I worked out the patterns, playing StB was fun.

Though, maybe I ought to attempt to finish the first one before this one comes out..

Gah, this line is ambiguous. By completely new, does it mean completely new for Touhou, or completely new compared to the last StB? It's a translation so I can't exactly say...:<

It could be either from the original text as well, but would probably be taken only as "new compared to the last StB."
That particular part of the translation is missing some details which would most likely alter the meaning to "new compared to the last StB."
But at the same time, that missing detail may also be hinting at new characters.

I personally highly doubt there will be new characters, referring to the original text and my own intuition.
