If you could ask ZUN to clear up one thing about Touhou...
« on: June 28, 2010, 03:19:23 PM »
What would it be? By clearing up, I mean asking him a solid question about the Touhou universe, like "How old was Myouren when he died?", "What was Sakuya's real name?" and (what I assume to be everyone's favourite) "Is Maribel related to Yukari?"

i.e., in the interview where he stated that Sakuya's current name isn't her real name. Assume that he will give a direct answer, not a cryptic response. Also, Touhou universe only, not stuff like "When will TH13 be released?"

"Is Konngara one of the 4 Devas of the Mountain?"

That's what I would ask.

TBH, I think he's already stated he won't be bringing back any of the PC-98 characters other than the ones he already has. Stated somewhere that "you can pretend they don't affect the current series" or something like that.

I'd be more careful about what to ask.. especially if it's about an answer only, not a request
neku: now for something important.
Translations.
How much time do you guys think it will take for HM to be translated? Besides everyone's story modes and the whole menus, there's also the fact that the way HM's programmed is different from all other games. I bet it'll take two months.

lusvik: I don't mind about playing HM in japanese. The language of punching other people is international.

what religion is Reimu anyways? They say she's a Shinto miko, but then why does she use Ying-Yang Orbs? For that matter, she acts more like a Taoist as well, all nonchalant and shit. It just doesn't make any sense!

What do you think 'bout those western guys? Fuck that. Part of me knows he doesn't give a shit about us.

Are Shinki and Alice actually related?

Baity: For a moment, I thought you broke 1.1billion. Upon looking at my score.dat, I can assume that you destroyed the score that is my failed (first!) 1cc attempt on my first day of playing. Congratulations.

No seriously. Under what circumstances did Sakuya agree to become Remi's maid.

I'd want to ask him exactly why Eirin was surprised to see Sakuya.

I have a feeling, though, that he's completely forgotten about that Douglas Adams-style (given that this was entirely nonexistent in SSiB etc apart from a completely unrelated goddess being named "Sakuya").

I'm going to have a field day with this one.

Most important one. Will probably ask this if I get only one try:
- "What is Shinki exactly? Is she a normal goddess, a ludicrously powerful youkai that only claims to be a goddess or something else entirely?"
If the answer is the first option: "Then how did she get enough faith to create an entire world with sentient, intelligent life?"

Alternate ones:
- Did Eirin drink the Hourai Elixir?
- How old is Sakuya truly? Also, is she Lunarian, half-youkai or human, and can she stop her own aging with her time power?
- Could Yukari and Suika take on the Lunarians if they truly tried?
- Will Reimu and Sanae become goddesses/Celestials?
- What is Yuuka's secret ultimate magic?
- Is there more than one magical land like Gensokyo?
- Can Ran shapeshift like a traditional kitsune?
- Is there something in existence that can permanently kill an Immortal?
- How old does Yukari look and act like? Is she eternally young?

You mean while shaking Zun's shoulders? ISNT SHEE!!!!!!
Marisa doesn't want to be a Yokai though, because then she has to place a new deadline on when she returns her "borrowed" things

If Yuka's and Gengetsu's mansions are in dream worlds, just how the hell do Reimu and Marisa get there? By sleeping?
And furthermore, how did Yuka come out of her dream world into Gensokyo to participate in the events of PoFV?
Oh, by the way. I've found some new tea.

"Is Byakuren's hair gradient?"
He already answered that in one of his interviews.
And yes it is gradient.

What I'd ask, hmm...
"Can' I marry you?"  Beer sign "5 pitchers at once" *pitchuun*
