I didn't have a japanese option in my list but got around it by removing the japanese characters from the file name.

I can't wait to try this. I've wanted to for a while but have been too lazy to find a download for it. Thanks OP.

Wow.

I can't wait until those crazy Japanese guys do a lunatic run on the game including extra stage

The best I could do is lunatic touhou 8 which is considered one of the easier games to lunatic

EDIT: And I still needed continues <_<

I'm currently working on normal 1cc just to unlock the extra stage (i'm a hard mode player, usually).
I really like it so far, but I think it's easier than SA. Which isnt necessarily a bad point btw, I feel like SA is one of the hardest.

Really? I felt like stage 4 was immensely harder than SA's stage 4, then again, I can only barely make through normal using continues ><

Should stick Touhou 12.3 discussion here too.

Last boss on stage4 was mean. Only the final boss should be able to attack after she's died!

The game looks pretty easy though, comparatively speaking. Got to stage5 on my first normal try.

Fuck, I don't have any torrenting software <_<

I'll just wait for a RS and then tell you guys what I think

Being ~~stupid~~ ambitious, I'm going to jump right into lunatic hahaha...although I'll probably fail and have to go back to hard or normal after my sight reading run.

I'm so excited :D

Wooot
Just 1cc'd normal with SanaeB

Wooow.
Ok, let's see what the extra stage has to offer. :D

Concerning stage 4, yeah there are a lot more bullets than in SA's stage 4, but they are way more easily dodgeable. And the bosses are not hard at all once you know what they are doing. Plus I feel like the whole UFO system makes it easier to collect lifes/bombs when you need them.

Either i'm really good (which is .. not really the case yet), either the extra stage is easy. The first part at least.
My first try was failed on the midboss, my second try was ended by the boss after I passed 5 of her spellcards, capturing 2 or 3 of them.
I'm not kidding.
The patterns are really nice though and I think I failed on that spellcard because I was too amazed by that pattern. It was so beautiful.
I'll watch highlander finals now but i'll play later again.

Overall, I really like this Touhou so far, the bullet patterns are really nice in my opinion and the music is also very good (extra stage boss music is extremely good omg !)

Wow, that's unexpected...on my first try on an extra stage I've never been able to capture two or three of the end boss spell cards. I'm usually dead by those ones hahaha.

COME ON RAPIDSHAREEEEEEE

Zomg can't pass through that same spellcard.
Fourth time I die on that one.
Maybe I was wrong after all, the extra stage maybe isnt that easy. :D
I wanna see the next ones !

I found SA to be hard as all hell. SA was easily up there or harder than Touhou 6 for me on Lunatic... and it had nothing to do with the fact that 6 doesn't show the hitbox... it was just hard.

SA took me forever to beat on lunatic.
