Touhou 15.5: 東方憑依華 (Eastern Blooms of Possession) ~ Antinomy of Common Flowers

[Plubio]

Interesting!

[ToyoRai]

Truly we live in the weirdest of timelines.

[Fluury]

This must have been the most impactful year of Touhou for the west in all honesty

question is if we can expect engrish a la 16 Announcements or Wronglish a la NISA.

When can we expect more info on this/the game release? Do they put up their stand on the 29th already?

I would not expect Engrish at all, particularly if the game is slated for Steam release. If Frontier Aja can get English editors for their fangame, ZUN and Tasofro certainly can get them for their official game.

UNABARA JUST ANNOUNCED AN OFFICIAL ENGLISH TRANSLATION IS PLANNED TO BE ADDED

No other details at the moment but you bet your sweet bippy I will be grilling him at Comiket.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

[teefa85]

What a pleasant surprise!  I was going to buy it even in Japanese, but this makes my life even easier.

[niektory]

Whoa, this animation kicks ridiculous amount of ass.

Im really happy that Yukari has a train card

[Koog]

I'm not sure, but it looks like those images come from a livestream

It's from the "Touhou Station" livestream. Some gameplay was shown.

Yukari's train card (「無人廃線車両爆弾」) is a pun on the train bombs from Shin Godzilla and I love it. fandom crossover jokes getting canonized is the best thing

Also daaaaang does anyone have a recording of this, I wanna seeee

[N-Forza]

If you have a premium subscription, you can watch it anytime. Otherwise you'll have to wait until the game comes out, more than likely.

(?・ω・`)しょぼーん。Ah well!

Dug around for screenshots/twitter comments/etc. anyway; found Doremy's card select and the stage select menu (w/ super cool petal design). Yukari's Urban Legend is the teke-teke (!) and she splits herself in half.

Also according to Unabara the final boss theme is Super Extremely Good, but they can't play it on stream. (unabara: "cause if you listen to it you'll clue into some stuff" mario: "like, if you hear it, you'll be all 'oh man is this such-and-such character'?" unabara: "half right. oh but i shouldnt say any more lol") mystERiouss

Mima confirmed???

[☆ Kana ☆]

>Official English translation

Seriously, what dimension am I in???

If only 15.5 also had ground battle too...

[Drake]

it actually is mima

[TresserT]

it actually is mima

Don't play with my heart Drake. You're one of the, like, 5 people who know things. I trusted you.

[Critz]

Realistically, all I expect is foreshadowing to Okina.

But who knows, maybe they'll actually pull something unexpected out.

Colour palette selection and some stage selection options:

[Fluury]

In an alternative timeline Tasofro is about to release Mima and Yuuka as a pair and caused the worldwide destruction of the internet

[Suwako Moriya]

If there were ever a time for Mima to re-appear, I suppose this would be it, given she's more or less an urban legend herself.

[Critz]

Considering how far they're willing to go with promoting this, I can almost see it.

[Suspicious person]

Even Leo got his oscar. Why shouldn't Mima regain the playable status that was originally hers ? I call for justice

[Shizzo]

My bet is that, dull as it sounds, the final boss(es?) is some Dark-Version of either Reimu or Marisa.  Or both? 

The sillouetes look a lot like them both.  I'm not a fan of anti-characters, but I'd not be surprised if that was the reason why the theme would give it away.  It could always be also some kind of mash-up of both their themes together.

[CapTengu]

I know this sounds insane, but since the Hakurei Shrine is technically not in gensokyo nor the outside world, perhaps it's the Outside World's Hakurei Shrine Maiden?

[Fluury]

"Anti-Characters"  or "Shadow Versions" are the last thing Touhou needs and if that is actually the final boss it might be the most disappointing reveal in the history of the game series
