- Silly game, lol.

Final thoughts:
I'll say this bluntly, I do not and will never appreciate the missing fundamental features that these games usually have. Things like replays, scoring, extra, esc+r, etc.
You also have the LoLK Pointdevice thing going on where you can basically just continue forever with no consequences. There's really no emphasis on getting a 1cc and it seems the focus this time around is just getting through the game.
In a way, you could argue the imbalances are justified with the infinite retries.... but I'm not so sure I agree. I think just having a set of lives like PoDD/PoFV did would have been fine
I have to admit, however, that the chaos is quite fun to play around with. Despite how broken and unbalanced everything is, I think the actual dodging itself is enjoyable, and I do like being challenged in that aspect.
...
I also think the game lacks replayability. Yeah, there are 19 clears you can get... but in other games (even the phantasmagorias) there was always scoring as an option you could pursue after getting the clears.
I suppose you could try some No Miss or No Bomb challenges... but good luck doing that with some of the characters, lol. (Reimu very doable though)
There is a netplay mode which has promise. But the official one we got for the demo was remarkably buggy and just... didn't work right. I do hope that it's fixed for this full version, but I suppose we'll find out in due time.
...Now for the good bits.
I appreciate the character roster this time around. It's super unique and I like seeing underused characters get the limelight more.
The boss sprite artwork is beautiful and I appreciate the character animations! In terms of graphical aesthetics this game looks really fresh and clean! (I'll always nitpick about the reused player sprites but that's never going away so w/e)
I also really enjoy the music remixes. ZUN is a top notch composer so I really didn't have any worries about the music. Some of the new songs are really cool too!
....What I don't like are the generic early boss themes. I think it's a shame that songs like "At the End of Spring" don't get to play in the main story because bosses like Nazrin are kinda locked (As far as I know) in the first three stages. In PoDD and PoFV the character themes ALWAYS played even in the early stages so I don't see why this change was necessary.
Parting Thoughts:
I think this game is one of those games you could have a lot of fun with for a bit, but that it wouldn't really be something to go back to often unless you were really serious about netplay.
I decided against making a full series out of this game because frankly, I'm not gonna have anything insightful to say on any of the future videos, and I doubt I'm gonna go for all 19 clears. - Hry
I've been informed that Sanae has a particularly tough time in this game, even for non-Reimu characters. I feel like that may have skewed my impressions of this game's overall difficulty, especially because I went from Reimu (who's disproportionately broken) to Sanae. So take some of my "in the moment" remarks with a grain of salt...
I was also told that you can regain your shield by using level 3-4 charges, which would allow you to have multiple free hits on each life.
....Just that knowledge in and of itself is a huge game changer.
...Okay nevermind, disregard all of my comments on this game "not having any defensive options".
The regaining your shield with lv 3 charge mechanic is absolutely busted. Even managed to get a Marisa LNB with that.
I guess a lot of this video commentary is just blind run nonsense :P
Yeah in my experience with this game so far Sanae is easily the worst shot in the game.
i've never seen deadlier otters in any piece of media before
Why yes i would watch 19 videos of this
The fact that even need to tell that you have to dodge oit loud just proove how Reimu is broken lmao.
I think Tsukasa has that particular shottype because she's a pipe fox, a mythical creature who was said to be containable within a vial/pipe for powers.
A part 2!? So soon? Woah!!! We've been blessed!
Am loving these uploads so I can see new characters so I won’t be spoiled looking up ost
omg 2 mino videos in one day
i will wait for the part 3 :D
oh i noticed the description. F
Seeing the length of the video I expected that this was gonna be several character runthroughs, but no, this is realizing that Sanae's just bad, + missing information on one of the most integral defensive mechanics that you just have to find out lol
i have my 4 clears already and there is a bug where if you draw you will go to the second stage of dat run and redo all... you even get more cards
Lunatic looks like hell, I was struggling clearing hard mode with some of the shitty characters
Some actually impossible patterns, poor sanae is so weak too T_T
hey mino. i dont know if you remember the name Larry but i'd love to get chatting with you again :)
Wait, why are all the bosses so hard-
Oh. I don't play on lunatic, right...
ridiculous game.
This is more ridiculous than TSS Ura.
Why didn't you just dodge at 47:02 ? No need to take a hit on that lol
ikr? just read ahead 4head
bruh touch some grass
