However I believe this is also part of his minimalistic ideas. Like, why should he practice drawing when people will draw awesome fanart the instant the game is released anyway? If he wanted to, and practiced every day, I'm sure the artwork is his games would be incredible by now. | ||

I'm a huge geek about world settings though. Which is probably why I read every damn book in an Elder Scrolls game or enjoy the convoluted "Nasuverse" setting. I think I read all of Perfect Memento in Strict Sense in 2 days. | ||

I enjoy the minimalist charm that the games present, but I also love that he also has a bunch of stuff fleshed out in the background that makes the setting feel big and gives some internal consistency. Like how in PCB Reimu makes a small comment about how she's worried about seeing so many fireflies in Gensokyo hinting that a reason they're showing up is because they might be dying out in the real world. It's subtle, but it shows Gensokyo's nature that things the real world forgets or transforms into myths and fantasy often end up in Gensokyo. I'm a huge geek about world settings though. Which is probably why I read every damn book in an Elder Scrolls game or enjoy the convoluted "Nasuverse" setting. I think I read all of Perfect Memento in Strict Sense in 2 days. I feel like that his most recent book though is more just to flesh out the religious dispute going on here. Because Taoism wasn't really featured in Japanese history, the dispute between Taoists and Buddhists that went on in Chinese history tends to be unknown by Japanese people. Similarly, Shinto was never really fleshed out as a concept until the rise of the Meiji-era, as it was mostly integrated with Buddhism in Japanese history until the 19th century. So to differentiate the Shinto (Moriya) vs. Buddhist (Myouren) vs. Taoist (i dunno, Shoutoku?) is probably something he wants to do to flesh out the concepts a bit better. I mean all we know is that Moriya is up to no good as usual and the Buddhists and Taoists hate each other. | ||

There are just too many facets to it that almost anyone can find something within the touhou fandom that they like. All it takes is one person creating fan-made content that you like for you to be hooked  I liked the comics long before I really got into music remixes.Also I think you guys are only just scratching the surface about Zun's plots and settings. The games obviously provide a fairly basic and generic plot, but that's due to the limitation of what a gaming experience can bring. I believe he puts in a lot more effort than what it seems. Even just starting with the games, if one takes a bit of time to read the documentation, you'll learn just how much is going on behind the mind of Zun. The biggest example, I think, is the music, but most people don't even know that music documentation exists. Then there's, as Arolis mentioned, the other works that continually flesh out his characters even more.Caller, if one could just "learn moonspeak", there wouldn't be any need for scanlators | ||

Oh yea, you'll have to use your foreign language parsing skills for the rest of the documentary. And btw, has anyone here played Katawa Shoujo. I know it's not touhou, but it sort of has some sort of relation, being oddly doujin in its creation. Would shamelessly reccomend. | ||
