Touhou: The Last Comer - Final Stage (New Commentary Version)

~Tomorrow the Sun Will Surely Shine~
The Mountain Summit
And now we're at the final stage. Just like games before the stage itself doesn't offer much. It's ultimately just a small handful of enemies before the mid and final boss.
Sanae puts up a surprising challenge as a mid-boss. Both of her spells has her firing a tightly packed mess of bullets that can get very difficult to dodge if you take her lightly.
Iesua is also surprising, but that's because of how strangely easy she is to defeat. Merciful god indeed in that case but really outside of two spells her attacks aren't that bad.
(And I say this from my playthroughs that WEREN'T slowed down this bad. Before it was only the cool down's that dropped the frame rate now it's most of the damn fight.)

Loli Jesus was executed surprisingly well; good balance of respect for the basis and the additional Touhou-isms enhance the character (and the zunpet-piano-church organ mix is God-tier... wait)

[@goodgizmo8132]

I gotta say, I'm still impressed with how well they handled Iesua's character.

[@WishMakers]

Honestly did not remember just how well Iesua was written. Her lines are practically ripped from the Bible. I already loved this game's portrayal of Christianity from Iesua but now I can appreciate it more. Marisa's dialogue is super good too, it definitely sounds like someone explaining the morals of Christianity to someone who grew up without a faith. She asks some good questions too.

[@jerrythemike3584]

I wouldn't say she's *that* well written, due to the fact most of the things she says are (as you said) just ripped from the bible. Which Imo, kinds of just makes her a Genderbent Re-Skin of Jesus that throws lasers and flies, which yeah, may still be somewhat interesting without heavily changing who Jesus was in the Bible, but still feels somewhat plain. That may be just by bias when it comes to representing Jesus in fiction, in which I prefer approaches more similiar to that of what C.W Lewis did with Aslan. (Which yes, it takes a lot of the bible and then just reshapes it to fit with the context of the story, but still has a lot of cool ideas besides just the obvious simbolism and ideas taken from the bible)

[@lunatic0verlord10]

The titles say it all : Sanae is Unforgiving while Iesua is All-Forgiving. No wonder the latter is tougher.

The Last Frames

[@korohacker]

Iesua remains one of my favourite fangame bosses because her theme is really awe-inspiring, fitting her role. And this game being one of the first fangames I played. But man... that lag is just horrible, kills the intensity of the battle. I kinda wish they would release an updated version with the lag reduced, but their dev team is already busy as is

[@prizmastarz742]

@@R.P.Genocraft not really

[@kazragoth-playerandwatcher1903]

Never thought I'd see you rage over Jesus abandoning you to deal with 3 insane people.

[@toaarania2392]

"Jesus Christ is not a water type" - said immediately before Jesus uses 50% water spells

[@anonymousoff-brand7538]

i like how it both gives a respectful portrayal of yeshua and the basic ideas of christianity, while also giving good critiques of christianity.

[@LuZhiHan]

What I gonna say here is: Rest In Touhou, FPS.

[@gypsysprite4824]

mean...i guess if you can have a genderbent prince shotoku you have have a friggen genderbent Jesus? sure lets go with it also, why is Mumumu even helping Iesua anyway? acually...why is them fighting eachother a friggen spellcard

[@prizmastarz742]

Well now we have genderbent horse

[@korohacker]

The angels (Janet and Michel) are fighting the devil, Mumumu as the prophecy foretold, implied by the main spellcard name. Marisa is just there to witness it all and defeat any one side to bring Iesua back for the final part, a la saviour of humankind style

BGM-Tomorrow will surely shine Me:I thought it was Ilusionary via Dolorosa

[@MegamanOmega184]

Huh, all these years later I guess I copied the wrong thing over back then

[@Interesting_Failure]

In which Reimu literally gets trolled by Satan

[@bashily2844]

Deus Vu... wait, this isn’t Jerusalem, we need to go somewhere else

[@okguy167]

Did... anyone else get really confused by Sanae's title the first time they saw this? Because I forgot about her backstory, and how she's literally Suwakos descendant...

[@LushieTilde]

I think the lag on nonspells might be intentional, but considering all the other lag.... I'm not really sure.

[@lunatic0verlord10]

9:30 *WHY IS THE DEVIL BACK YOU UP, CHRIST?!!*

[@EasternStory]

that card is meant to be the angels fighting against the devil

[@adultswimbumpsarchive]

4:10 big shot spamton

[@lunatic0verlord10]

3:26 It's a shame she's not in this game.

[@Enmaphy]

6:40 Jesus Christ that framerate

[@lunatic0verlord10]

3:50 Seiga is *NOT* a good example, Marisa.

[@incandescence5547]

I believe the slowdown on the final boss' nons is intentional. Apparently it's not present in practice? Although I haven't actually checked for myself.

[@lunatic0verlord10]

2:35 Is it me or are her hand wounds still bleeding?

[@JunkyX1122]

They really went ahead and made Touhou Jesus huh. I like how some of the comments say the writing for Jesus-chan is well executed when really most of this stuff is ripped straight from the bible itself =w=U I’d really love to see this game get remade.

[@dontreadmyprofilepicture5535]

Not monetized?

[@MegamanOmega184]

It should be? KZbin says it is anyways

[@montyabbas6619]

Cool game

[@kienphucnguyen2001]

1:29 oh god your fps is decreasing

[@ultimadragon88]

Personal opinion, they dropped the ball HARD with Iesua’s danmaku - and it really continues to be a trend in Ido games until RSS of the final boss having the worst spells. In my opinion, anyway.

[@anonymousoff-brand7538]

your opinion is shit.
