The strongest fairy's theme following THE STRONGEST fairy's day?  At least Cirno and Piece weren't fighting for the top spot on the same day.

Woops, didn't change anything for Cirno Day.  I'll just make this status as a celebratory reminder to call your local Ice Fairy the strongest.  Happy Cirno Day!

I haven't really been active this past week or so outside of a few trades, to the point I just noticed that I never even put anything for the final stage of Fantasy Maiden Wars: Dream.  I'm just going to post a few random things, and then the attack animations and music like I did for the last two important ones.   There are also the three bonus stages, but I didn't really take screenshots since there was nothing really noteworthy.

I don't know what most of the stuff here is, but Marisa finally broke the 40k damage barrier sometime in the last stage (though I missed a screenshot)  and Meeko hit one my units for a lot last stage.

I, of course, had Shizuha and Minoriko 'the not forgotten' Aki finish off the final boss with the power of Autumn! Not the best screenshots, but they'll do

They did a nice shot of PoFV's 'incident' though it's a bit strange ending on it.  

They even changed up the title screen with it to celebrate the end.

They really flexed their animation budget on a few of these attack animations.

The normal BMG for the last stage.  Very fittingly, it's a remix of "Children's Festival ~ Innocent Treasures" which ZUN usually calls his theme  and is usually noted to sound very 'finale-worthy'.

Final Boss' original theme.  The limited vocals makes the song stand out from every other FMW song.  Very dreamy.

In true SRW fashion, the theme that overrides everything in the last portion of the last stage is a remix of the title screen song  (though sadly Sanbando can't afford Jam Project).

The sheep was much easier to defeat than the flower, which is totally fair since Yuuka is Yuuka.  I will be hearing Meeko's theme in my dreams tonight, since it played for most of the stage.  Which brings up one of the best spell card names in Touhou (canon or fanmade):  

「Ｄｏｅｓ Ｇｅｎｓｏｋｙｏ Ｄｒｅａｍ ｏｆ Ｙｏｕｋａｉ Ｓｈｅｅｐ？」 

Even if I didn't name my crew 'Sheep Bullies' like the Translation LP team, the bullying still happened

Cute Kogasa blocking sprite to bring back the mood

I still love Reimu and Marisa's new endgame combo attack.  Really brings the "unload everything"/maximum daka effect out while squeezing in a few good mecha references

I've gotten tired of seeing these two words over the past day and a half.  I knew Yuuka's fight was BS incarnate from reading the translation LP, but wow did they bump it up on Hard mode; is it even possible on Lunatic?   After a bad first try, this time I'm just taking out her first and last health bars.....the rest I'll just time out.

Bunshin- basically autododge; Yuuka's rate is 50% here

Why did you have to start hitting so obscenely hard halfway through the stage, Yuuka?  I guess Akyu was correct here.

Well, I found out FMW Complete will allow save transfer from FMW 4, so I guess I'l be finally finishing that for the next few days.  Did stage 74 earlier.  Great Prismriver-centric stage.  I still love the new attack they get.   

I'll just post from excerpts from the translation LP of this stage that I like, just because, and the subbed major event vid.

Video does have subs on the captions if you want to watch/read

So, Steins;Gate is technically canon is a SRW timeline now? Cool

Finally some details and a few new screenshots of FMW Complete Box came over  apparently from a Chinese watcher of a random Japanese streamer......very vague.  It's definitely using some mechanics from modern SRW games (such as being able to use spirits commands on your opponents turn).  There's even pictures of new attack cut-ins:

Nameless midboss fairy who's had maybe had exactly one line in a side-manga, you finally got an attack cut in!  I guess that means The 9-ball Special will be slightly different late-game, and it means another nameless character and even the Lilies should get theirs.

An Elly cut-in to compete with the other gatekeeper

Kurumi cut-in.  Hopefully you'll still be top tier support late game.

Akyu seems to be a playable character and maybe not just a one-stage joke character this time.....though maybe still.  She has a unique personal skill this time, so that's a bit more 'long term' indication.  Maybe she'll juggle the 'playable character' and 'subpilot only' roles this time.  Even she has a cut-in.

Seems Kozazu is an NPC as well now.  I'm not holding out hope for Kasen, since she definitely wouldn't be playable even if she shows up as an NPC.  She's only a month younger than the first game back in 2010, so Keine took the 'mentor-ish/prodding Reimu off her ass' role. Funny in hindsight, but playable Kasen would be interesting.

Waiting to see if the new Touhous and the new music will be online soon.  It seems some people already got their copy of Touhou 17, so it will probably be an hour or three.
