I played 13.5 story mode once with marisa. I made it to the last boss but lost on the 2nd last word session :/

Flying around and floating is really difficult to get a hang of.

Apparently, nitori has a glitch where you can infinite stunlock.

Mamizou is in there and she looks great.

All the themes are very well arranged.

Koishi is ridiculously difficult to use. Byakuren is a high speed fighter who is offset by needing to chant to store up special attack cards.

Only Marisa, Byakuren, Ichirin and Nitori (not sure if I can count her double kick as one) have weak melee attacks that auto chain.

Futo's weak range attacks keeps plates on the field which powers her up as time elapses.

I donno, it's 6 am and I'm tired.

Oh and as for 14, here's the three character portraits that have been released in the demo.

Mermaid

Werewolf

Seems like a trend of western mythical beasts this time.

Oh and it seems like this is the start of a new era and style for touhou games.

The art is very detailed this time around. ZUN has really improved and he continues to keep a similar style as the previous games.

._. Two of the characters lack hats or hair accessories..

Here's a gameplay vid.

Yep, the â‘¨ is back.

I played it.

I'm uploading a replay to youtube right now.

This game is slightly harder than the previous ones, though that might just be my lack of practice. The third stage absolutely rapes me hardcore. I can't 1cc the demo yet without using Sakuya A. Her character specialty is to start with an extra bomb, and then the type A specialty of getting 3 piece refunds makes spamming through tough spots a lot easier.

The second stage boss is a dullahan, and all homing weapons go straight to her head instead of her body. This makes beating her really hard when I'm playing as Reimu. And Marisa as usual has Marisa problems. Too fast, too large hitbox, not enough all-around utility.

Edit: Looks like I'm going to be the first person to upload HD Touhou 14 gameplay on to youtube :D
Edit Edit: Its gonna take like a freaking hour or two to actually fully upload. Damn my horrible internet speed. Someone else might beat me to it by then.

actually about the homing + head comment.
The moment you start shooting homming missile of a certain type, it aim for the closes ennemy to you.
I just make sure that I'm closser to the body than the head and switch homming missle so that it target only the body.

also a detail about sakuya A type. Small ennemies hit by the homing knife are slowed down to a near stop.

This trio is bullshit and you know it. This campaign is so difficult. You unlock her campaign before you unlock her, so you get zero spellcards or skillcards. Her A and S shots are terrible, and she doesn't have any C moves.

Edit: OR maybe I'm not understanding a certain character mechanic and I'm doing it wrong.

^ That looks like bull lol...
Cucurbita wrote on 2013-05-26 18:59

So turns out the reason why Kokoro doesn't have a power/special moveset is because she's an incomplete character. You can't unlock her. She'll be patched in at a later date.

Bummer, I've been trying to figure out how to unlock her for like an hour now :/

I have a bad feeling about what's going to happen to ZUN in the convention in America. North Americans tend to be much more open than the Japanese are and I know some people are going to either say or do some things that will definitely scare ZUN or make him feel very uncomfortable around the western fans.

I just hope that his understanding of English isn't that great so that he doesn't have to listen or understand the remarks that people will throw at him.

Since he'll probably have translators there too, I hope they know exactly what the western fan base is like so that they won't translate some things to ZUN when they are said.

The music is good. I'm liking stage 3 boss, stage 4 theme

The timing of the music is nicely scripted with midbosses yet again.

Stage 1 had a couple sequencing notes that reminded me of Bad Apple and stage 3 boss's theme's intro reminded me of U.N Owen was Her.

Guys Byakuren is glorious.

I like how Mamizou has two themes.

A prankster one called "Futatsuiwa from Sado" and her serious one called "Futatsuiwa from Gensokyo"

I'm reading the chat inbetwen the characters in touhou 14 and.. Marisa is becoming a pyromaniac...

Edit: ok I read all of them and something is pretty disturbing...

The "weapon" they use with their A version seem to be possessing them the more they use it..
Reimu is becoming more violent(through she already is but it's getting worst in the ReimuA playthrough than in the ReimuB playthrough.)
Marisa is becoming a pyromaniac with a desire to burn her opponents to death even after beating them
and Sakuya is becoming a murder

^ Wow that's pretty cool.

I can't wait to see what ZUN has in store for the full release.
