eosd has such a weird aesthetic that I can't describe. it's so familiar yet different from everything else ever. I would probably think it was just nostalgic but I don't think it's possible to feel nostalgia from something I just started playing a few months ago.

[@kubikim]

I feel the same way honestly. Not sure if it's just ZUN's style, but the music in EOSD is exceptionally pleasing to me.

[@cirnogaming160]

It might be the art style or the Capcomish music, both of them are really great in their own respective ways, the 'art' really leaves a image in the mind as one would say.... 'art"1

[@wladfan]

[@libraryofv]

I think it migt just be the aesthetic, The muisc in this game really sounds like an old arcadey game

[@argon7624]

I was one of those weirdos who wanted to start at the *beginning* of the series. HRtP is not a good game, do not play it.

[@dawesomegamer]

The time has come for me to unload, The Zunpet Encyclopedia Zunpets are more formally known on sound modules as Romantic Trumpet and Sweet Trumpet, possibly among others. A sound module is essentially just a collection of samples that can be manipulated by midi signals(essentially it's a keyboard's sounds and the midi signals act as surrogate keys being pressed). The module ZUN used is called the SD-80 and I believe it's the source of the rest of the instruments on the soundtrack and on al soundtracks going forward in the series. The Trumpet itself as far as I can tell is just a normal trumpet with insane amounts of vibrato.

[@rainy7600]

SD-90 actually but, SD-80 is the same thing without the audio interface of a SD-90

[@sleepdeprivedsteve]

Is that why his name is ZUN?

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

Cool

[@J03_M4m4]

​@@sleepdeprivedsteveNo, if I recall correctly, ZUN's nickname comes from arcade machines, where he wrote down ZUN whenever he was at a high score table

[@blankiturayman]

JUST started playing Touhou. After years of telling myself I would, I finally got into it. And for some reason, the title screen music sounded eerily familiar, almost in a nostalgic way. Even though I've never played Touhou before. It has a fantastic OST, and I kind of feel like I ruined my own experience starting on Lunatic right away. I'm still on it

[@kauerocha2452]

+blankiturayman x Well, look on the bright side: you won't beat the game in Easy and get mad when you find out you need to play on normal to get to Stage 6! Although i remember playing some 3 hours almost every day for 3 or 4 months before managing a normal 1cc when i first started EoSD. You'll probably be on it for a while, lol

[@noxenlunacorch.7600]

+Kauê Rocha Isn't it writtent that you need to play it on normal to get to the stage 6 when you choose the difficulty?

[@Crimson-qo4ii]

blankiturayman Touhou 6 is also oddly nostalgic to me as well, you kind of have the excuse that I have been playing it since early 2014 but I remember even back then it still felt oddly nostalgic.

[@Crimson-qo4ii]

Reminds me of my childhood game, a game of the Pixar film Cars. I find the music in that game somewhat similar to Touhou 6's music, both are nostalgic to me, but both of them always had that nostalgic feeling. Il leave this up to whoever comments, either that or this is a dead comment.

[@Mishimachine]

This is exactly how I feel and I finally started playing them. Reminds me of middle/early high school, where I had unknowingly absorbed so much of this stuff from Touhou, that when I hear a lot of these songs, I swear I've heard them before.

@@turkia6148not that well tbh i played bullet hell and realized that it's too hard for me so i tried playing the fighting one but i didn't know where to start so i just downloaded touhou 15.5 and rn i'm playing that. can you give me some recommendations?

[@toro2812]

​@@ConjiniumIf bullet hell is too hard for you then I recommend picking up touhou 7 as it's the first game to show you your hitbox and it's also very relatively easy in comparison to most of the games within the series, I also recommend playing on easy mode with reimu first before branching out to other difficulties and shot types, don't be pressured by anyone to learn the games on harder difficulties, the point of the game is to enjoy and a good way to improve is to learn the basics on easier modes, looking back at it easy mode is a bit way too easy to teach you how to properly learn the games but if you learn the basics from your easy runs you can easily transfer the knowledge onto normal mode and so on, at least that's what I did, I played on easy first, learned a few important things and then managed to pull my first normal 1cc within a week, so don't be discouraged. If bullet hell simply isn't for you there's no shame in trying out the fighting games instead, since you picked up 15.5 I also recommend picking up 12.3 since it's the most well acclaimed fighting game in the series with the largest community, Hope that you enjoy.

[@magnusm4]

Because of clever efficiency. Gameplay is simple and patterns and enemies can be written so you can simply write in time and position along with speed and angle. To the point where a simple circle movement can be a method call giving radius, time and direction. Second the visuals are heavily simplistic with many special effects that can be applied post rendering. This makes up the majority of the game. Once the core is done you simply add to or change certain things like drag and drop. That leaves him to focus on his true talent, music. It's a more advanced version of Undertale which is similar in that it's simplicity allows flexibility and focus on Toby Fox's strengths and interests he has experience in. You can see this clearly in Dust An Elysian Tail and WARSHIFT "Yes it is in captions" where the developers did everything except some small parts. Yes Toby DID let some of the battle sprite work be done by some other/others I don't know. In Dust the music was done separately while the gameplay, art and animation was one guy. Also voice acting was not him for obvious reasons. He's a veteran artist and animator making Jazz Jackrabbit so his skills was used here. But if you think Touhou is insane for a human. Look at Universum and Warshift. Some slight freelance modeling but otherwise. A veteran making programming, 2d, 3d modeling and music. He basically did everything. And that game looks and plays like a triple A title. Now THAT is beyond believable.

warning: long, u can ignore if you want this is still my favorite touhou game, it just marks the beginning of future games, also the music I love so much (my favorites from eosd are the young descendant of tepes, maid and the pocket watch of blood, scarlet beyond a crimson dream, voile the magic library, crimson Belvedere, septette for the dead princess, chinese tea, lunate elf, and the centennial festival for magical girls.) eosd is just so important to me, I remember back when i was a ut (undertale) fan, i saw that bad apple version of it like 5 or 4 years ago, i did know it was some anime (not actually an anime) or game styled thing, but never really bothered to witness the orignal bad apple. Fast forward to that one video I watched with the pc98 time settings thing (where they change the date or something) and I heard un owen was her, i saw the name of the song from the comments and went to a seperate vid of the actual theme. I thought flan looked familiar and I thought of a character, so I went to the original bad apple, whaddya know I realized it said that they were both from touhou. i knew flan had to be the girl with those “wings” from bad apple. now it’s been a few years, getting into the lore and music of the games was just so fun, just seeing what new stuff zun makes nowadays. I can’t believe this just got me into 2hu because of flandere and ut. How time flies…

[@failedatmakingasandwich423]

Somehow Touhou music is really good for soothing my headaches.

[@Cat-ki3hy]

[@Xenoprism]

A few months ago I FINALLY beat this game on Normal mode!!! Now I just gotta beat it without using any continues >_>

[@Leafy2006]

I can’ even beat it WITH continues. Got past Easy with continues tho

[@amiserablelittlepileofsecr856]

I got passed it with continues in normal

[@TokinHaT9]

Happy 20th Anniversary to the first PC Touhou Game. Still can't finish any of the games though. 11 August 2002- 11 August 2022

[@Yukkurishiteitene]

i cant unhear the shooting sfx at Lunate Elf

[@libraryofv]

oh my god i thought i was the only one who keeps hearing the sheeooooww at 7:05

[@pharfaduke]

Best Stage theme: The Centennial Festival for Magical Girls Best boss theme: Septette for the Dead Princess

[@turtlelord6697]

for me, Best boss theme: also Septette for the Dead Princess Best stage theme: hmm... tie between Lunate Elf and Voile, the Magic Library

[@pharfaduke]

@@turtlelord6697 hmm, i like Voile, the Magic Library too but Lunate Elf is my less favorite from the whole soundtrack (it's not bat though).

[@turtlelord6697]

@@pharfaduke fair, I didn't like Lunate Elf as much at the start but it grew on me after many 1cc attempts (yes I did it... 2-3 weeks ago) and if we're mentioning least favorites, The Maid and the Pocket Watch of Blood would be mine, The Young Descendant of Tepes in close second (mostly from PTSD of 3 and a half hours of practice mode stage 6)

[@pharfaduke]

@@turtlelord6697 that's pretty funny, The Young Descendant of Tepes was my second choice for fav stage theme.

[@TempoDub721]

to me Best Stage Theme: The Centennial Festival for Magical Girls Best Boss Theme: Either Shanghai Alice of Meiji 17 or Locked Girl

[@SuperBuildsInMC]

34:55 If you've ever played EoSD, this moment right here is the biggest "Oh shit, here we go." Moment in the entire game.

[@Naglfar94]

Beloved Tomboysih Girl, Chinese Tea Shanghai Teahouse and Voile the Magic Library I my personal favorites from this game.

[@SomeDemoMain]

Zunpets were first used in "A Soul as Red as a Ground Cherry".

[@yamilivin5035]

I learned about touhou from Osu! maps. I just had some tracks and decided to watch on KZbin. I listened ost's and was shocked how many songs i already know. People are so beautiful coz their fantasy is incredible. So many covers and music with vocals has made. (sry for English if it was not correct, but i said what i feeling).

[@yamilivin5035]

And ost of EoSD is my favorite i think.

[@HundreadD]

God... he really does exist...

[@119_ho]

スローバージョンを何度も聞いているので、このバージョンはすでにスピードアップしています XD

[@awedsy3195]

Already heard this 10 times, going strong.

[@daemsu4556]

I LOVE TOUHOU

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

ME TOO

[@pktiger7]

one of my favorite soundtracks in video games

[@rougethesleepy]

I can't stop listening to this soundtrack help-

[@ghozze69]

i love touhou

[@dustystorge]

Cirno stage: 9:09 would you look at that

[@kikasuru5693]

Scarlet Beyond a Crimson Dream, A Soul as Red as a Ground Cherry, Lunate Elf, and Beloved Tomboyish Girl (obviously =P) Are my favs!

[@touhouyamax2755]

aka the calm songs.

[@DavidMiitchell]

Why doesn't this have atleast 10 million views? or at least 1 million :(

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

yeah.

[@GoldenEmpyrean]

Wondering the same thing

[@okibeya]

Probably because it's unofficial

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

​​@@okibeyawhat? This is the official soundtrack to touhou 6. Have you played touhou before? If no, you should xD

[@JhasmineWisheart]

Oh boy do I have some news for you

[@ezzenious9923]

46:00 If you came for memes

[@pizz4tim3]

Ironically the memes make me play this game and is hard as fuck

[@JacomeFelg]

Surprise: This is one of the easiest touhou games.

[@pizz4tim3]

JacomeFelg It Is! I finished this one in 2 hours

[@ezzenious9923]

Shit, I've only beaten this game on easy, I mean it's been a while but still.

[@yphoenix5957]

ZUN is truely a madlad. He made his music but instead of advertising is like a normie, he achieved legendary status and made video games for his music! In all seriousness, whether he forsaw this or not, he cemented and prevented his work from falling into obscurity.

[@lancelnce]

Touhou must be the most covered musics out there because it's really divine

[@spaghettiking7312]

This is where things began for a lot of you, in one way or another.

[@megahedgehog2039]

This is the only mainline touhou game that I have a physical copy of

[@libraryofv]

1st level sound track is such a bop why

[@CoolShot906]

Any atmospheric soundtrack and song are beautiful tho...all genre!

[@HankWilder]

I love this nostalgia

[@chauthai3481]

i feel like im in heaven

[@megajaredx9679]

I use to play this whole ost while drawing. Still do
