8 has a very strange phrase in it that I can't figure out how to translate without it being awkward.

Hmm, I'd leave it at
Spoiler:
The Pure Fruitless Flower ~ Absolute Lily
but I have a feeling that would be wrong...

It's mostly there's a phrase in there that is typically translated as "referred to as" or "named", that kind of idea, so I figured to keep that in.
Spoiler:
The Fruitless Flower Known as Purity
might work out, then?

You mean the "naru" part? That's just a fancy/old-fashioned adjectival form. (Examples here & here.) "Pure Fruitless Flower" is accurate.

Also the Staff Roll theme is a spoof on part of the lyrics to Ningen tte ii na: "denguri kaette bai bai bai" --> "tengu ga kaette bai bai bai"

Huh. Well there's my lack of Japanese knowledge understanding showing. :V
And in that case... the last one's translation I'm not 100% sure of because turning "A quick somersault and bye bye bye" to a thing would be... I dunno, "A Tengu and Bye Bye Bye"? References are sometimes weird.

Speaking of references, I went through a couple of the character titles and spell cards for fun. Momo's title is something like "Super Squirrel Level Mouse Youkai", one of Mishandra's spell cards is "Majin Benefit", and one of An's is "World Kodamaizer". Strange references abound.

"The Tengu Go Home Now, Bye Bye Bye" is probably fine? Even if the somersault pun gets lost in translation, it's easy enough to make the phrase look like a children's-song sort of thing.

Also yeah ohhhhhh my godddddd there's so many dumb meme puns in this game, I love itttt

doing this because i hate myself (no it didn't time out)

What I hated the most about this spellcard is that Kiyohime's got a stupidly gigantic sprite and yet it feels like her hitbox is the size of a chickpea. 

While tons of these spellcards are super fun to do, gosh, some of these things are poorly designed.  Good luck to anyone out there trying to capture these spellcards with Hatate! ;__;7

iktf tbh

anyways i finally bothered to try and clear
Spoiler:
saraka's
scenes, i skipped her last one but it wasn't necessary to unlock the tlb. her spells were actually pretty easy but still fun, which was quite a relief, at least in my opinion.
Spoiler:
saraka and lvl 9
was actually more grating to do than this

I've beaten all scenes with Aya, but the Exhibition and Achievement options on the main menu aren't unlocked. Are they unimplemented features, or do I have to 300% the game, or...?

Incidentally, I'm interested to know the spell translation for

I've noticed that too. Quite a few spellcards where the boss goes transparent/disappears and doesn't count the shot until they become solid and there's at least 2 instances of spellcards pulling a Satori.

On another note:

Momo throws Pikachus at you on her 2nd spellcard  :]

Based on the files I've looked through... "Exhibition" might be where they're going to put the extra scenes from the popularity poll winners, and "Achievement" has some stuff that clearly isn't in the game yet (including.......
Spoiler:
playable Momiji???
), so that'll wait until the update patch also.

As for the card name:
Spoiler:
"A Strong Woman, Whose Nobility Is Worth More Than The Highest Of Pearls. Also Dubbed "Tamako". A Glorious Woman Who Endured Many Hardships For The Christian Faith... In Short, Me!!"
Aside from that bit on the end, it's
Spoiler:
the entire Japanese title of Mulier fortis cuius pretium de ultimis finibus sive Gratia regni Tango regina exantlatis pro Christo aerumnis clara, an opera piece written about Gracia Hosokawa. (b/c Tamako is straight-up Gracia Hosokawa, like, it's her backstory that that's who she is)

Hatate definitely seems to polarise the difficulty of scenes. Some of them she makes absolutely trivial because of her recharge speed (
Spoiler:
you can beat Saraka's first card without having to dodge anything, and things like 9-2 become much easier
). Others become a lot more annoying (the spells that keep you at a distance, like
Spoiler:
the last photos of 9-6 and 9-12
). And then there's cursed-camera Nezu, which is just stupid.

Spoiler:
Tamako
was honestly a letdown for a final boss. After all those weird and funny gimmicks the earlier scenes throw at you, her spells are startlingly... unspectacular. They aren't even particularly hard. Oh well.

Also, all the Fc scenes lag quite noticeably (around 50fps?), not sure why. (It might be the background, or something.) Are they supposed to be resource-intensive, or is my computer just bad?

Yay, I got my 300%. It was fun, looking forward to the exhibition scenes and achievements.

EDIT: I'd like to add on that the katakana for 6-2 is likely to be the pronunciation for 龙泉宝剑 (Chinese), which roughly translates to something like "Sword of the Dragon Spring". (Spring as in water spring, not the season.)

2EDIT: This link and its related pages contain transcripts of the Japanese spell card comments. (Levels 0 and 1 are also translated into Chinese already.)

Also, Wanwan has released the soundtrack on Bandcamp!

edit: raichu has also posted a comparison video on his Twitter of the basis for Kiyohime's first spellcard lmao

edit 2: vvv i mean, i'm guessing the one that brings up Swords Swords Swords right away for its google search results is probably it in this case, but thank you for the clarification!

I mean, specifically, there's still some ambiguity. The Chinese wiki claims it's 龙泉 (Dragon Spring), but it could also be 龙卷 (Typhoon), among various other interpretations of whatever チェン is supposed to be.

Hmm, apparently over the past few days v1.00b and v1.00c patches were released. What google translate is telling me (from ido's blog...? I think that's what that website is.) is that v1.00b toned down some spell difficulties, made minor gameplay adjustments, and strengthened effect cuts if the option was selected. Then v1.00c was released because v1.00b caused the game to crash when 9-9 was selected.

I was wondering why some cards in the game gave me Spell Card Collection vibes... then remembered Nono Shijimi was a programmer.

No wonder why some of the gimmicks feel oddly familiar, and why a few cards are complete aids to do.

Been playing this for a while, and I gotta say that I absolutely adore this game from a lot of perspectives, particularly the balanced mix between gimmicky and more ordinary gimmick-less pattern designs.

The soundtrack is really atmospheric and greatly remind me of the stages of the previous main games in its series while also sounding original and well adjusted to fit in a photography game. The last two themes in particular are now irreversibly stuck in my head plz help :V

The final boss' scenes though are sorta anticlimactic and considerably easier than the previous few levels.

So I've been adding to the wiki page for Tri Focuser so far and I'd like to inquire about exact location names.

Here's what I got (from this page again and various story pages of the respective games).

  • Level 0: Waterfall of Nine Heavens (same one as in MoF)
  • Level 1: Eternal Morning Glory Field (BoSM stage 1)
  • Level 2: Youkai Mountain (same one as in various Touhous)
  • Level 3: Misty Lake (Same one as in EoSD)
  • Level 4: Forest of Magic (TLC stage 1/ex)
  • Level 5: Life-Guiding Tree (MPP stage 5/ex)
  • Level 6: Tougenkyuu (RSS stage 6)
  • Level 7: Angels' Mountain Fortress (TLC stage 5)
  • Level 8: Otherworld (RSS stage 3/ph)
  • Level 9: Mountain Summit (TLC stage 6)
  • Level FC: Outside World (same as ULiL? I'm not sure...)

Not sure if these are accurate names. I doubt there are wiki pages for most of these locations either because lol who gives ido games any significance amirite

References to the locations would be nice tho.

Level 4 is "a forest near the Hakurei Shrine" in TLC, not the Forest of Magic. Level 9, according to its dialogue, takes place in the Outside World's skies. The others are all accurate!

I have went ahead and fixed that thanks. I wrote "skies" for level 9's location.

The reason I was dubious about the forest for TLC's location was because in Elfin Mint's story, it explicitly mentions a "Field of Magic" near the Hakurei Shrine and I thought it had relations to the Forest of Magic. I wasn't sure if they were the same forest.

Just found out there's unused Momiji sprites in the game. Maybe she was going to be a playable character?

Anyways, just beat all scenes with Tobiko. Man, I'm glad it's over. It took me exactly 464 tries to beat Iesua's second spell. I'm not joking.

Also, I've had a few bugs I've never seen anywhere: Iesua's aura being completely white and Fuma becoming all glitched in the spell she's supposed to grow giant. I think this also happens with one of Tobiko's spells but I'm too lazy to test. Has this ever happened to someone else?
