Should this be in the "Wow, that was fast" pool, considering that Tasofro said that after Koishi there won't be any returning characters?

wow, really? that means there will be 5~6 new character on Touhou 13.5!!!!??

what? no Aya? Too, bad. But at least that would mean a bunch of new characters, if what you said, is true.

I wouldn't expect a ton of new characters. We've seen eight so far and IaMP only had 11 characters total.

If that's the case, then Sanae and Suwako won't be returning. I guess this is a time for Kanako to shine?

All my dreams

Aya getting snubbed isn't the end of the world (she's not exactly crazy about butting into an incident in progress), though the fact the Moriya shrine (i.e. one of those three) doing so is quite eyebrow-raising.

I mean a shrine best known for crazy faith gathering plots NOT taking part in a faith gathering melee? And instead we have two unexpected characters taking part. This also runs counter to the building up of Sanae as a regular incident resolver in the last 2-3 games (considering the snub in TH14 in this)

Nope, Kanako's not in the game. The whole Moriya Shrine is absent from this game about religion and faith gathering.
I'm not even kidding.

This is presumably because it wound up *not* being about the faith-gathering.

Which is...Confusing and infuriating to me, much as I liked the final product.

When has a Touhou game ever been about something as serious as it was hyped up to be?
