Sorry, I'm not entirely sure what you mean. From what I understand ZUNs comment was directly a response in terms of her strength and why Reimu/co was able to fight with her at all, so him saying she's more powerful than anyone in the lunar capital does seem to explicitly say she'd be stronger than them unless I'm missing something?
I thought ZUN stated Hecatia was beyond the level of anyone in the Gensokyo or the Lunar Capital?
You mean that game where I spend hours getting killed from my own weapon?
Yeah I finished this last weekend. A tad bit short and there's not a ton of replayability but otherwise it was a very solid metroidvania. Very much worth the money imo. Looking forward to the extra stage.
I guess my lunatic 1cc with MM in 9 would probably be my highest achievement. I think beating 15 in point device mode normal for the first time or even the first normal 1cc I ever got (PCB) might be the proudest I actually felt at beating a game though. Seriously, looking back now normal PCB might not seem that bad compared to many of the other Touhou games but for someone starting out with hardly any experience in bullet hells it took a ton of time and dedication to get to the point of even being able to do that at all.
Yep, I just recently got my first lunatic 1cc in Phantasmagoria of a Flower View with Medicine Melancholy, quite pleasing to be able to go from not being able to do an easy mode Touhou game 1cc to being able to complete a lunatic run in only the span of a few months. I still have tons of goals I want to reach like beating Yukari in PCB but it's still extremely satisfying to see how much I've progressed with this series but as it stands now I'm sitting at around 45 different 1ccs over the various games/characters/shot types.
The music in this series is definitely a highlight. I'd say ZUNs one of the best there in the industry and I know it's one of the things the series is most well known for.
Originally saw a video years ago of lunatic Yuyuko and said "lolnup I could never do that" and that same thought is what ended up making me want to try it. I wanted to prove myself wrong so picked this series up last summer. It was the first time I had ever played a bullet hell and jesus was it brutal. Couldn't even complete easy mode with my continues but I stuck with it. Funny thing is the more I played the more obsessed I became. Right now I'm sitting at around 35 different normal 1ccs and having just recently completed my first hard 1cc and am currently working on doing more. My hope is that I can be good enough to achieve my first lunatic 1cc by the end of my first year with this series. I'm still fairly new with this series but there's a lot I've learned already. This series teaches you how to fail. I've lost track of how many 1ccs I've had ended on the final spellcard of a game, or how many times I dodged massive dense patterns only to die to a single stray bullet afterwords, or practiced and perfected a stage at a higher difficulty only to turn the difficulty down and just immediately die to some ridiculously easy part. It hurts, it destroys your ego, but you push on all the same, you learn and do better and when you finally do get that last push, you know you earned it. That's what I love about this series, I feel like I need to earn every step forward and that the true challenge to overcome is myself. It's been quite a journey so far let me tell you. This series demands an extreme amount of patience but it can give a lot back in return. It's kind of funny that my confidence with this series and what I'm capable of doing has risen so much despite the fact that it spends most its time slaughtering my ego. I highly suspect that even someone who naturally struggles with these kind of games could eventually become great in time with enough determination and the right mentality. I also feel like this series has driven me slightly crazier then normal. I noticed something was up when I went from frantically trying to dodge everything like I was having a heart attack to feeling a sense of joy and calmness from throwing myself into an ocean of death to swim in. Sometimes even just dancing in that ocean of bullets can be more satisfying then achieving a new 1cc, unless I'm fighting Clownpiece, then all I feel is stress.
