Well my EoSD run just hit into a bit of a snag
The game is crashing my computer now, usually at around Stage 4 (though it can happen earlier)
I'm gonna admit, I hadn't been making a lot of progress this week (I'd switched to Reimu's Homing Shot just because I was sick of dealing with Princess Undyne) but now I can't clear the game at all (let alone without continues)
I'm gonna try to see what I can do about it. I don't really want to skip the game (because I REALLY want to 1cc the game before moving on). I guess if I really can't do anything about the game crashing, maybe I'll just find a save with the Extra unlocked, and just have a stab at that and then post my game breakdown/final thoughts. But yeah, this is a bit of a wrench in the works :/
=============
In terms of other Touhou related stuff, I did watch this
Boss Rush video featuring the characters from LOLK and found it to be pretty cool. I thought Hecatia's gimmick was actually cool (she still has the dumbest outfit though
)
=============
Also while there hasn't been confirmation if there's a new character on ULiL PS4, over on MotK it's been mentioned that if ZUN were to put a new character in, it'd make people think "something has begun"
While there's a very obvious character I'd like for ULiL PS4, I did put some thought into what characters that would be interesting to put in
I think Yuugi, Kaguya or Ringo would be the most interesting picks
Yuugi moving above ground would be notable in of itself (since she's a Deva and it'd be a major shift in status quo for her to go above ground). We would get to see dialogue between her and Kasen happen if it was her. We'd also get a real hard hitting character (something that's been lacking in 13.5/14.5)
Kaguya was left on the cutting room floor (alongside Wriggle) which makes me think she could be up next. Unlike Wriggle though, she's fairly powerful and her acting without Reisen or Eirin could be notable. It also seems like the perfect chance to finally let fans see Mokou vs. Kaguya in a game
Ringo is my dark horse pick. I've heard Sagume being playable has been a bit popular. I think the reasoning is that Sagume is mentioned to have been involved with the Occult Balls, so that would give her an immediate story tie but idk, I don't think ZUN would just put in a Lunarian God as playable. It could be fanon, but I'm finding it easier to picture any big shot Lunarian sending out a Moon Rabbit instead (and thanks to LoLK, we have two, Ringo and Seiran)
I think Ringo could work since unlike Seiran, her profile seems to hint at her being a bit smarter/stronger than she actually lets on (since it notes she didn't have to win against the player, and she also seemed aware of the Lunarian's doing something to the Capital, though decides not to ask questions). She also seems to have her own agenda (since she mentions she's interested in staying in Gensokyo, and allowed the player to pass to indirectly investigate the plot).
It does seem a bit unlikely (more likely that I'm overthinking things; I've admittedly taken a recent interest in Ringo) but idk, I'd like to see her because there's a lot of potential there, and also because I don't really want to see Hecatia/Junko/Sagume since they all seem a bit too powerful/important to get involved in Gensokyo.
I spent way too much time typing this all up)
