Another good reason to finally finish Fantasy Maiden Wars surprisingly came up today.  Despite the creators apparently stating last year that FMW 4 would be their last work as a group (at least that's what the fan translation group surmized), Sanbondo seemingly announced today what many were hoping they would make: a remake that essentially combines the four games into one.  Looking back on old threads, a Fantasy Maiden Wars: Complete  (a reference to the SRW's classic era compilation  SRW:Complete) was considered unlikely given how different that the first two games were in mechanics and features. 

I definitely have to wonder if the first 15 missions from the first game will allow two-person teams.........despite only having 9 playable characters at the time.  While I doubt they would add a whole other multi-character game (like Touhou 13-16), I do wonder if they won't include a few possibly relevant characters read: Doremy from them.  Hopefully at least they will touch up some of the old animations that many characters from the first game still had.........like all of Sakuya and base Keine attacks that did not look great beside animations the group did 7-8 years later.

Still, I'm unreasonably hyped from this tweet, especially since it shows more characters will be getting varied facial expressions in the dialouge boxes.  It took till the last game for Reimu (the true main character of Touhou) to get as many expressions as Marisa (the second option in mainline games except the first), so it was already an obvious area that need improving.  I'm glad they showed it off with the Akis, though.
