Hi! I'm new to this forum (or website, I'm not entirely sure about how i should call it) and this is my first publication right here. I also want to clarify that I'm not good in English, so have some patience please and if there's something you guys didn't understood, then let me know. Now, yes. I'm going directly to the topic. Today i just wanted to share a weird opinion of mine, which is that I don't understand why Touhou uses the old continue game mechanic until this day. I don't get it Because i feel that continues just ruins the experience and the games feels a lot more boring by not having to worry too much by dying and by discarding them, the experience could be not only more challenging but also meaningful. Yeah, some can argue that you can force yourself to play without continues and that if you play with continues, then you will never get the good ending. However, we should take into account that not everyone is interested in the story or if you get a good or bad ending. And even if it's well-known that you could force yourself to play without continues... the feeling isn't the same as if the game forced you to win without continues. Imagine if once that you lose, then, the game immediately shows the bad ending and, thus, by completing the game without losing all of your life's, it shows the "good" ending (I said it in that way because the "good" endings aren't always good and sometimes they are likely more neutral than anything, for example, that happened with HSiFS, game where the incident isn't resolved but anything bad didn't happened yet). Of course, I don't think the game should ALWAYS bring the bad endings everytime that you lose, but it could be shown the first time that you lost the game with a specific character and their specific shot (if there's any difference between both endings of any shots, of course) and I don't think there should be major problems with the game showing it only once in the main game, especially these days, where the most recent games haves the achievement section, section which you can see the endings any time that you want so, thus, I don't think there should be any worries about it. Also, if Touhou didn't had the Continue system, then we shouldn't worry about the illogical and unhealthy behavior of some Touhou fans being harsh with new people trying to play the games (you know, that dumb meme where Tewi for some reason makes fun of you for playing in easy or/and using continues). However, this is only a opinion of mine and I'm interested if you guys think the same, haves another opinion or even something that you would like to add to my arguments. Thank you too much and see ya!

Oh dear god, that's so harsh, why someone would do this??? Thank you too much for the information, even if I am not a Chinese fan, I think is still pretty important to worry about other Touhou Fandoms from another places of the world (in this case, China) and if we can help somehow (or more like, if we are even capable) then we should take action and help them, because they should be as our right arm. They are important too.
