Title: Characters you would like to see again
Post by: Vance_croowa_08 on February 22, 2024, 12:06:15 AM
What's a character that hasn't been playable for many years but that you would like to see again in a future game? Mine is definitely Meiling, she hasn't showed up in a official game since Hisoutensoku i think. She definitely deserves some attention given how she has been ignored by ZUN. Maybe she could appear in the next spin-off, that would be kinda cool :meiling:

Characters appearing in-game for the 1st time or their 2nd time? Or Characters having  appeared multiple times(like your example about :meiling: Hong Meiling)? Window Ones referencing PC-98 ones (  :meiling: Orange and Hong Meiling  :meiling: )? Outside of the games(print works) beyond being cameos?

Well... I want Letty Whiterock to appear once again, but on the fighting game spin-offs. She has a very cool ability and she is strong enough to cause a full-on incident. Yes! Maybe have a plot of her using her full potential and losing control of it, causing an incident!

Also, for PC-98 era, bring Rika back, she's too based to be left behind and forgotten, since she is actually cool and have the guts to fight against Reimu.

There are tons of characters that ZUN introduced and then just...didn't do anything with them. Take the Aki sisters for example, they appeared in MoF and then got ignored, only making some small cameos. There are many characters that deserve a spotlight in my opinion

Yuuka, please! But I gotta accept that if she hasn't made it into the latest Phantasmagoria-style game, she's not coming back at all.

I agree, Yuuka FTW

I would normally say Remilia needs a comeback but we at least get some cameos/references of her in print works and endings so I'm lightly satisfied.

The character who I think really needs a comeback is Eiki. Even though she's a final boss, she rarely appears in anything at all. She's one of my favourite characters and it's a big shame that ZUN neglects her.

First and foremost I think Stage 5-Stage 6 bosses who haven't appeared in any game as a playable character following their debut game should get a chance to stand it the spotlight again. Like Kaguya, Eirin, Orin, Shou, etc...Then we could gradually move down to the characters at the lower stages.

I've really been wanting to play as Shou for a while, particularly in the fighting games so that she could have a reason to use her non-magical spear as an actual spear and not just to look cool. She's not even playable in Hopeless Masquerade, for some forsaken reason!

I also want Alice to return - not only is she both cute and cool (like many Touhou girls), but it's really weird for ZUN to say that Alice is a special character (https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Perfect_Cherry_Blossom/Music#Stage_3_Boss_-_Alice_Margatroid's_theme) in her grand return to Windows, and then outright stop featuring her in the games after a while.

And speaking of magicians who know Marisa, I also want Patchouli to have another major game role, both because I love her elemental magic and how it's themed after the days of the week, and also because I recently realized her personality is a lot like mine - pretty much everything the Touhou Wiki says about her personality (https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Patchouli_Knowledge#Personality) is more-or-less applicable to me as well!

I think it would be cool to see more PC98 characters coming back but I doubt it'll even happen again. But two characters from the Windows-era games that I would like to see again are the Komeiji sisters.
