Unlike your usual Final Stage, this one definitely isn't an easy romp before getting to the final boss herself, rather this one actually plays like how you'd expect the difficulty of a final stage to be. You're escaping a collapsing pyramid here and the stage itself feels like that with just a whole bunch of different stuff thrown at you. Biggest thing to watch out for is cause of that, it gets extremely easy to get trapped under a good number of enemy patterns
Horou has a motley crew of attacks here, not unlike all the stuff Set threw at you last stage. However while Set was more about literally punching or throwing stuff at you, here trapping and blasting you. Much of her fight feels like she's setting up different ways to pin you down under bullets, but then snipe you with one extra attack once you're pinned down. Also, important to consider in her fight that she will switch your weapon customization from spell to spell. For the most part, it's generally a non-issue (since most of the differences were status effects on stage enemies), but the biggest one you have to watch out for is Green, since that was the only color that changed your movement (you start moving faster and faster while unfocused).
Difficulty - Normal
Character - Extremely Ordinary Magician: Marisa Kirisame
Final Stage - I am the Prisoner of Time: Forbidden Incantation Tower
BGM - Pasi Lameta Vimaturesi

Honestly, LOVE Horou. Theme song, design, attacks, gimmick.. And she has a Monster Reborn on her book so there is that too. She's such a cool character and my favorite of this game.

@maxoublue1 3 года назад

By the way, there's actually a third hidden path in the final stage. You can reach it by going in one direction and then staying in the opposite direction for a good moment (for example, going left and then staying on the right side of the screen for a bit). You can see the entrances to the hidden path to the left at 1:03 and to the right at 3:20. It's pretty hard to notice, to be honest.

@moodu.m.a1888 3 года назад

Fun fact, the green spell is a YuGiOh joke, because the Emerald Tablet (Horou's Grimoire) has Monster Reborn on the front of it.

@HouraisanKaguya 3 года назад

Yu-Gi-Oh! references are not uncommon in Kaisendo games. In Infinite Blade Pavilion, one of the final boss's spell cards is named after the Yu-Gi-Oh! spell card "Buster Rancher" on Hard mode. I'm pretty sure there are others I'm not remembering right now.

@LushieTilde 3 года назад

And also Monster Reborn is a spell card (a green card).

@KelyxTheMage 3 года назад

Waiiiitttt. So if you use a colored gem she changes your shot type to match her spell colors?! That's a really neat touch. I never noticed because I used one of the monochrome gems so i think the shot type stays the same.

@R.P.Genocraft 3 года назад

I'm honestly surprised neither of you acknowledged the OwO hat. I was eagerly awaiting for at least one of you rolling your eyes... or, err, the sprite equivalent of that. Fun fact, all of the chapter titles inside the Kinjutou are named after actual sections of the interior of the Great Pyramid of Giza. These devs are nuts. Also, I really love that final spell name.

@paw-paddedcalamity216 3 года назад

"Pasi Lameta Vimaturesi" has got to be one of the most puree titles I've ever seen for a song. What even? I don't know what about this stage and the previous that I really like but both are amazing, esp. stage 5. I think it might be partly be because unusual theme for a Touhou game but they also both just feel good. The bosses are also pretty unique, with stage 5's getting really cool on Lunatic.

@korohacker 3 года назад

It's apparently the lyrics of a song from this anime the game referenced a lot? Zone of the Enders or something. The spellcard Last Azoth also seem to reference that. I never watched it, so I can't say for certain

@paw-paddedcalamity216 3 года назад

.......Now that I'm told this I...actually know what it sounds like and I don't even watch anime, I just remember hearing this exact line at the start of some music edited into a video. I dunno how hearing it be an anime reference made me recognize it faintly...but gee.

One more thing you didn't notice: based on the character you play, Emerald Tablet summons past bosses in different order. For example, Reimu faces Ranran first, then Chii, and Hikariko teams up with Shiran last.

@korohacker 3 года назад

Man, where do I start with this stage? The stage portion is incredibly hard for me on Normal, and even on Easy I tripped at times, regardless of what path I choose. It's still fun to go through though, especially with the quirky 7/8 time signature song with such a rocking tune. Really gives it that Egyptian feel. And Horou herself, I always see her as a stage 1 boss being given final boss powers, aka the Thoth tablet. And she only got this far because of the powers of her friends (I think Shiran is also a friend at this point), so her theme in general gets me quite emotional. When you strip away all the instrumentation and backing melodies other than the main melody, you're left with a gentle 3/4 time signature lullaby, a lovely tune but certainly not boss-worthy. Only when all the instruments kick in that the whole song becomes a grand final boss theme. To me it's an analogy of Horou and her relationship to all the previous bosses, as well as her desires to escape Gensokyo and be with her family once again, gaining courage to go against the protagonist. A rather shonen anime-like analogy, and probably my own headcanon kicking in, but I grew to really love Ibis Trismegistus because of it. Anyway, I never knew you could utilize the blue spellcard's powers that way with Fairy Mummy, it's the one I had trouble with the most because it's 50/50 whether I can back out pass the fairy line or hit against one or their bullets. Gonna try that freezing strategy too next time. Marisa's ending always rubbed me the wrong way, especially for Shiran herself, but your discussion made me realize that she does have a point, and like Bee said, a crook can be right twice a day. Also Tenmu peeking in from the bushes xD I never knew about why the Extra boss was so depressed, I just thought she was depressed because of what Set did to her, and Horou and the others tried to cheer her up by leading the protagonist in for a rousing fight. Never knew there was a deeper reason to that

@SackyBalls444 3 года назад

The lazy way to get by her blue spell is by using Kaguya. Her shotgun damage is so absurd that the spellcard ends long before you have to pass any fairy danmaku walls (or bother to freeze them).

@WishMakers 3 года назад

Some people really don't like Horou compared to Set but I pretty much disagree entirely. Set is cool but I also don't think Set necessarily feels like a proper final boss. Maybe they could have if tweaked a bit but I think Horou does the job well and has some rockin' patterns. Also the fact that this stage has multiple paths is really cool. Feels like you're actually going through the pyramid and taking different turns.

@Eeveeolite655 3 года назад

Such a good design, fight, and theme! Horou is amazing! And the various characters that we see reach out to help the PCs are pretty neat too! Such a good fangame!

@Iris_Descent 3 года назад

3 minutes for a final stage? ...if you say so. Also that little dialogue before getting outside the pyramid is with Genjii if you're playing as Reimu, Remilia if playing as Sakuya, and Eirin if playing as Kaguya. Although it's implied that Eirin actually came to help (complete with Kaguya's last line in stage 5's post-fight dialogue being "HELP ME, EIRIN!") while the other three were just... hallucinating, so to say. I don't know. Also, not surprised that Horou lagged quite a fair bit. Same thing happened with me with Book of Star Mythology, that game was fine for the most part, with exceptions being Mokou's spell and Nezu's Marisa copy spell, but then Fuma was a lagfest. (Not exactly the best when I went into her blind on Hard and still 1cc'd...) 18:05 Did... did Marisa get cancelled on Twitter? -Damn, tell me something SnapCube hasn't predicted.- 18:35 Shijimi Nono is actually working on that, fun fact! 19:09 THEY STILL CARE ABOUT BEST KAISENDO GIRL LET'S GOOOOOOOO 20:24 ...yeah, Bee said it for me.

@buiminh9126 3 года назад

fun fact: On the Green Sign, the order of "mini" spell depends on the characters you use. For Reimu, it's stage 1 - stage 2 - stage 3+4, when Kaguya is stage 1 - stage 3 - stage 2 + 4 (iirc) It's a nice little polishing detail too ;)

@dawk7 3 года назад

Good god, this stage destroyed you! A shame that you generally tend to do things with no-bombs, since this game's system kinda expects you to bomb at proper times to collect a sizable amount of points, and gives you resources that way. ... I love the fade-out scene. It's lovely every time a fangame has Mima pushing Marisa on when she's slipping off. ... Sure, go see Yukari. I can see how that conversation would go. Horou: "I am here to-" *TRAIN'd* ... God, I _love_ the final boss' song. And it ain't even my favorite theme- that comes next! ... Man, those wings are trippy. ... Ahahaha, this final boss' gimmick is a riot. If you haven't toyed around with how the shoot types work, you're gonna be so confused, lol. It was extra nasty back when there was no translation, and the game didn't really have fandom presence just yet. ... The ending's amusing. Shame, tho', that the translation never seems to work quite right on my computer, because I really want to know what's up with Marisa getting the Millenium Rod in Reimu's ending... =u=" ... AND NEXT TIME, *BEST EXTRA STAGE.* Good god, every time I play that thing it just... it just makes me smile, man. It's so good. So happy... right? (Boy, I love the description for the extra stage. "Suicide by shrine maiden gone wrong", indeed.

@themirrorsamurai8885 3 года назад

No opening comment here, let's just get right to the stage. I love this stage so much, it's easily my favourite in the game with how insanely dynamic it is. Flying out of a collapsing building makes for such a unique and fantastic vibe that I don't think has ever been done before, and the music (while I'm not a fan of the song itself... seriously Wanwan, are those electric guitar soundfonts trying to kill me?) certainly helps to amplify that experience. Also the split routes thing, that's absolutely amazing (and fun fact, if you go right in 6-2A or left in 6-2B, you get to 6-3C, which uses the same rubble enemies with aimed shots you see in 6-4). As for Horou? Well, first of all she's adorable, second of all... I actually do like her fight, she's definitely my second favourite boss in the game (my favourite being obvious by now... but still not for another week). I actually like her theme unlike most of the other bosses, her attacks in general are well-designed and clever, and the way she changes your gem is amazing too - especially since all of her spells are designed around their respective gems (you saw the freezing on the blue spell, but also consider the red spell leading around the field, the purple spell having a lot of overwhelming so you need more room to escape, and the orange spell with its tightly-packed bullets). Definitely the highlight of the main game for me. Also it sucks that Over the Rainbow isn't available in the main game, I love that spell so much. Sure, it's easier than the other Z-Spells, but that would make sense if it was a mandatory Resurrection Butterfly-style spell.

They used to be critically endangered to the point of extinction, but the Japanese government managed to breed them and reintroduced them to the Island of Sado I think. Now there's a small population there, so Horou actually has someone waiting for her in the Outside world now

Yes and no. The last original Japanese crested ibis died on October 2003, making the species go extinct. _However_ the Chinese crested ibis was only thought to have gone extinct, however some were discovered in 1981. Though extensive captive breeding between China and Japan, they have been able to introduce the Chinese crested ibis into Japan

@luckluster 3 года назад

Kaisendo keeps surprising me. I think Horou's fine with gem-based patterns, but the final stage overshadows her for me. I wish more STGs tried multiple path design like this where player can learn their favorite path. There are some modern games that try that (BPoHC, but RNG kind doesn't allow learning it) and some of the ones of old. Even if you're just interested in Shmups I feel like there's a lot to learn regarding game design just from their games alone and I always appreciate that. Someone in the comments did mention that already, but there's also a third (C) Route as well.
