i'm really not buying this whole gensokyo 2 thing, it feels like everything about it should've been in gensokyo 1 to begin with only if ZUN 1 got off his ass to update it instead of leaving further development to his estranged little brother ZUN 2. This whole situation is reminding me of the Overwatch 2 situation again, like none of this justifies a sequel when in reality it could've just been one massive update/overhaul to gensokyo 1. Things we've all asked for many years now are only getting implemented now for the sequal like:
-Renaming the former hell to "Hell Begins" so that it would be the perfect setup for a 3rd one,
-Finally revealing the hakurei god that everybody and their mother already knows (thanks to MatPat) as John Riccitiello
-Removing Tewi
-Making the games free to play but the different character and shot types are unlockable through battlepasses
And thats just a few of many requests that fans have had for many years now.
Overall I'm not impressed by this decision. I think we should start a movement to change this into just one big update instead of a sequel else we might just make the series more intimidating to newcomers with there being two universes by two different people. Also ZUN 2 should just pack it up and drink beer at a riverside outhouse in Yokohama, we don't need his weird alien invasion arc that's supposed to be about how capitalism is plaguing modern society and would later cause a wide spread of femboy culture
