Touhou: The Early Years

today's video is brought to you by Gexuma, fabled fan edit creator turned main channel editor! thanks very much for all their hard work on this project.
to anybody curious, the touhou series is divided into 2 different eras of games... the first 5 run on an old Japanese pc architecture that requires an emulator these days. these games rarely get talked about so I figured as a newcomer to the series it might be fun to actually start with the first few games as few Touhou players do!
watch the full VODs here! • [Full stream] - Touhou...
and yes, I know how it's pronounced... I am doomed to get comments anyway but oh well.

To be fair, while these games are a bit "out of the way", their association with the Touhou series pretty much guarantees nobody will forget them. The third, fourth and fifth games even have bit of a fanbase, considering.

@makenshao9886 Жыл бұрын

@@FamilyTeamGaming Eeeeh, I mean, old games just don't get talked all that much after their time in the sun on release already passed. Specially when the games are on languages not widely available to the western world and more obscure software that usually has less robust emulators like something like the NES. When I played Evo Search for Eden for the pc98 I had to some manual fiddling to get the game to work and every time there's some little hurdles that say what you can do these days, of buying an old game in gog or steam or a virtual console you're losing bits of people who might be interested, but not interested enough to put the effort to fiddle with sometimes quite fiddly emulators. While the pc98 games are more known because of their association with windows Touhou, I'd say it's fair to call them obscure because the barrier of entry for the average schmuck to get interested enough to play them is quite high compared to like, just finding a download of EoSD or buying the games on steam, as I'm sure there's a large contigent of Touhou fans themselves who aren't aware of these games aside from them existing if it wasn't because the series still counts them for the numbering and surface level info that is available on the various Touhou wikis.

The reason for the common perception of powercreep amongst Touhou characters is that within canon, we actually don't know for *sure* how strong anyone particularly is. Most characters are youkai, and want to come across as strong, so their powers are **self defined**. For example, the character Remilia Scarlet is a high class egotist vampire and claims she has the power to "manipulate fate". We have literally never seen this happen in any way, and she also lied about being a descendant of Dracula, implying she's inclined to lie. All fights in touhou are essentially playfighting (maybe more akin to fencing?) where characters fight with spell cards, where every bullet is just like, an airsoft bullet. It's very rare we see anyone trying to actually KILL or anything.

@lyrebird5982 Жыл бұрын

but she might be telling the truth as her sister does actually have a really powerful ability. So both Scarlet sisters having busted powers would make sense. The probable reason why Remilia never uses her ability is it would most likely be considered "cheating" in a danmaku battle

Moreover, this is weirdly common in Japan; Smash Bros in japanese still uses english terms too, such as "Game Set!" instead of simply "Game!" in english.

Has a very small but dedicated fanbase but I'm really not entirely convinced many care outside of it care about it that much, And then finally you get LLS and MS which are alright games, but still not many would play it because of the accessibility of even playing them to begin with, on top of the fact people might not necessarily care for how the design of the series still needed many layers of polish even that late on.

3 is like that too. It's worth noting that certain characters have attacks that confuse the AI and can score "unplanned" hits, though, which can end fights prematurely. In this game, those are Reimu's yin-yang orbs, Rikako's gears and Yumemi's crosses.

If it ever happens, I would love to see grayfruit’s reactions to the Touhou 6 art.

31:07 ah yes, I too remember the tiktok dance that was literally *just* standing on a boat! Actually, this is sarcasm, but that would be kinda funny, “the newest trend in fashion is the sit down and shut up.”

God I played Touhou like years ago, and tried the fighting game that was made briefly, which was also pretty good. I never knew there was an MSDOS tier early early EARLY iteration of the game! Thanks for the brief history lesson, grayfruit! :)
