See last picture.
So apparently, while i was asleep, ZUN annnounced Touhou 12 – Seireisen ~ Undefined Fantastic Object (UFO. Wut >.>). Via ZUN’s alcohol stank diary, the demo will be due on March the 8th, Reitaisai (Which I’m trying to negotiate my way to). Sanae fans are in for a really pleasant surprise for their calls have been answered, as Sanae will be playable along side Reimu and Marisa. According to Poolshmer:
Not entirely confident of this rendering, but…
Nothing to correct or commemorate. Touhou Project 12
“Touhou Seirensen [Star-Lotus Ship] ~Undefined Fantastic Object”.
Contrary to the usual feel, the scoring balance has been majorly reworked from the norm, making for a fairly challenging game.
I’ve studied the difficulty level. Yeah, it’s simple and easy to earn [points].
As for the story, to put it simply:
Gensokyo’s abuzz with rumors of a flying treasure ship sighted since the beginning of spring. Thinking this is a good omen, the player darts all over the sky in pursuit of black shadows, attempting to be first to board the treasure ship.
That’s the kind of light feel it’s got. The player characters are the three humans plus Sanae. Each one chooses one of two goals and follows the treasure ship(?) zooming all over the sky. The goals are surprisingly light, and yet…
Completion is scheduled for 2009.
A demo CD is planned for sale at the Hakurei Shrine Reitaisai on March 8. You can even use it for a pot coaster if you’re interested.
As usual, the demo will contain up to Stage 3. It’s so much the usual that you’ll pass through the game as usual. Nostalgism is nostalgism, no matter how old it gets.
So apparently Reimu heard of a treasure boat and simply darted off to find it. As expected, move along.
So I heard a few stuffs from SA would be retained. Seems like it's true.
Well shit, ZUN, for one, stopped drinking? Cause that Reimu's a lot better looking.
Sanae? Is that frogs you're shooting?
What do you know, UFOs.
夢想封印！ YAY!
Undefined Fantastic Object is looking great AFAIK, and with the plot set around flying ships and UFOs, we could expect some new characters (moe aliens/pirates, anyone?) . After giving his statement against the recently released Touhou anime, I guess he made it a point to draw better i suppose.
One point of interest, though:
Did ZUN missed out on Christmas or something?
Oh well, guess I i managed to negotiate my way to Reitaisai, I’ll definitely be picking this up, even if it’s a demo. Maybe I could try heading to Akiba and see if i could locate the original Musou Kakyou DVD as well.
