You know what's ironic about the
Spoiler:
Kosuzu-as-a-possible-boss
theory?

Someone brought up the theory back during the Wild Mass Guesses for ULiL, citing the Forbidden Scrollery chapter in which
Spoiler:
Kosuzu was possessed by the ghost of a set of antique love letters
, and used that to explain how
Spoiler:
Kosuzu
might have an appearance in ULiL, possessed by the then-unidentified "Hanako". That turn out to be not the case:
Spoiler:
Kosuzu
isn't even mentioned in ULiL, and "Hanako" is revealed to be the fully-human Sumireko. The jossed theory is, funny enough, forgotten within the same week it was brought up, and that's before ULiL full version is released.

But then came FS chapter 50, and suddenly, everyone is finding

as a highly likely possibility...
There's nothing inscribed on the dog tag...

Meh, i talked about this possibility at the release of FS 49 though, but i get your point ^^.

And speculation is speculation, if we get proved wrong, of course the theory will instantly vanish.

Specifically, a penultimate boss.
Spoiler:
Kosuzu
might be a possible candidate to fill a penultimate boss role, similar to Kasen in ULiL. And if this is confirmed,
Spoiler:
she's
become the second character in the franchise's history to debut in an official print work, then become playable in an official game. Who knows in AoCF, this might serves as one of

Kosuzu's
character development, as

she's
more than happy to get her hands dirty e.g. able to defend herself from a hostile youkai.

Everyone forgets about Aya rip.

BAiJR and PoFV came out, like, three days apart, practically at the same event, so that counts as a simultaneous debut instead.

I was thinking that if she was a boss in the game it'd be pretty cool, but now I'm thinking that it'd be kind of.. disappointing, I guess? It seems odd for something to be resolved in another platform.

they did start the fairy war in the manga but resolve it in the game same with ULiL

Well, the Urban Legend incident hasn't quite been resolved yet. As for Great Fairy Wars, wasn't that a one-chapter thing that didn't connect to the rest of the series?

Spoiler:
While I think it's very possible for Kosuzu to be in, WaHH's Urban Legend stuff and GFW aren't quite the same as this. The urban legend stuff was a side plot, and the GFW stuff didn't last very long at all.

The stuff with the youma books, the 4chan teller and all the questioning of humanity's place in Gensokyo, Kosuzu's powers slowly growing and growing, increasing youkai influence on her... This really feels like what the entirety of FS has been building up to.

A better comparison, I think, would be Kasen finding her arm or being outed as an oni in a game rather than the manga. Which are both possible but less likely than some side arc getting turned into a main game.

So NicoNico has started a programme called "Touhou Station". It will be a "variety show" hosted by Beat Mario, and the first episode will be broadcast tomorrow at 5 PM JST. ZUN will be burning his HSiFS CD-R discs from the show room remotely from somewhere else, and Tasofro will probably show off the AoCF demo.

Reposting since its relevant here aswell.

Would be great if someone could take note of all the information!

Unabara tweeted, the demo will support playing against humans and the computer, and a simple Practice mode. You can play online by "free matching" or by IP address. The demo won't support using network lobbies or creating replays.

Tasofro blog has updated with a picture of the demo CD and a short write-up. The demo will have only Reimu, Marisa, Mokou, and Reisen. Also confirmed that AoCF will be showcased on Touhou Station if it wasn't obvious.

It's Reisen. I was confused at first too but they had announced just the four characters, and then if you check the main site you can see the blue Reisen in the banner logo.

Let's hope there will be new characters in the demo and not just those 4.

They literally said these will be the only 4.

I am only interested if they massively improved the float mechanics, that's the only thing I care about when it comes to the demo, let's hope they wont disappoint.

What I want to see are details on how Perfect Possession will work. I don't mind the floating all that much.

It'll be cool to see how their new system works, though it is slightly disappointing they're not showing off a newly included character for the demo. Just going to need to wait a bit longer!


I feel like we'll know the rest of the cast pretty quickly. Last year it got datamined right? Plus there's that one guy who made accurate predictions about HM and ULiL. I'm excited to see who's teamed up with who.

Way to not know how to build hype...  At least data mining is worth looking forward to!

90% of you probably haven't played the PS4 version anyway so Reisen is effectively new

Speaking of, how will the characters be? As in moves, damage, combos and such? Are they likely to reuse what was in the most recent Urban Legend in Limbo patch, or will everything have been redone?

I don't particularly want her to be in, but she is someone I thought had a good chance of showing up since she was a candidate for Hisou. Though if Mokou and Reisen are a team I don't think she'll make it.

True, tho i wonder how she would look like in it, this might sound stupid but what if Marisa&Reimu and Reisen&Mokou are duos only in the demo? that could be a possibility, right?
