sometimes the jump between pc-98 touhou and windows touhou reminds me of the reimagining of sonic the hedgehog after sonic adventure. sure, the new direction is still very good, but we’re kinda losing something by just abandoning that old style, aren’t we?
i kinda want to make stuff that emulates that style somewhat, once i actually understand what makes it tick (mostly by playing the games instead of admiring the aesthetic in abstract). it’s a really magical and uniquely vibrant and almost dreamy vibe and i think captures the fantasy of the setting so beautifully and elegantly

This is probably exactly why some fan works include PC-98 Reimu/Marisa as independent existences just like Classic Sonic. But it would be super interesting to see it go further and actually revisit PC-98 locales in the original style, minimalist limited palette and all. (Or even, demake versions of Windows locales?)
