Okay, so from what I gathered: Reimu has somehow died and Gensokyo's falling apart. Everyone has accepted that this was going to happen. Everyone but one. Marisa wants to keep Gensokyo alive, and get her best friend back in a desperate time, as their home slowly withers away.
I clearly never knew what ctc was about when I played it for about two years ago. When I got to the ending my house was struck by a tsunami coming from my room.
The final moments of this world has begun, on your honor as a magician, as the protector of this world, you fly even faster, desperate to reach the horizon, to reach her. In this vast ocean of blue, you ask, is this the sea of hope here to bring salvation, or is this an ocean of despair, her despair, the same despair that locked the residents of Gensokyo, the same one that..... You have no time to hesitate, the final battle has approached, for the maiden in white, the friend who you fought so hard to see, now stands before you in pure white. Bring back the balance to this fair maiden. You who has traveled through hell and back again, fight, fight with what little you have. Save her.
I haven't played CtC (maybe I should, but I suck at Touhou at Normal difficulty), but this song alone shows the sadness, urgency, and hopelessness/hopefulness that is in the game. The thought of the scenes here makes me tear up. ;~;
@@raymariopokenic1561 1-Beat the Extra 2-You must have a total of 90 Captures or more 3-Finish every single Route of the Game (Normal, Hard, or Lunatic) 4-Do a Lunatic Run
You know, if Touhou were to have a finale, CtC would easily be the top contender. But I don't want to think about that now, I want to listen to a somewhat sad but hopeful song.
Adrian Tepes I was actually just thinking about that, and it would be cool to have either a fangame that is longer than most (over 6 stages) or a anime-styled movie (like memories of phantasm, but longer) portraying Youkais (Yukari included) trying to destroy the Hakurei Barrier to unite Gensokyo with the outside world and feature Reimu with some allies that believe this would be a mistake (such as Marisa, Yuyuko, Shikieiki, etc) trying to stop them. And to show how much this is the biggest incident Reimu ever faced, that could result in the end of not only Gensokyo but the outside world aswell, Spellcard rules would be cast aside and characters would go all out. It's probably a terrible plot, but I just made it up so cut me some slack if it's that bad :P
Hirosama Nadasaki Hey guess what? -If you beat the original 6 stages without using continues, you get to go to stage 7. -Reimu is allied with Marisa, Sakuya, Youmu, Mokou, Sanae, Utsuho, and Miko. They're all playable characters. -Spellcard rules are not in place for much of the game, because of it taking place outside Gensokyo. However, they are not trying to reunite Gensokyo and Earth. They actually got tricked by the Yumetenno, (Emperor of the dream world) into destroying Gensokyo so he can take over the world.
Adrian Tepes Interesting idea. Would some spellcards be impossible on Lunatic as a result? ...That'd be kinda weird, but a lack of spellcard rules could lead to that... That's a lot of shottypes. I have a fangame engine I'm working on that uses 10. 2 for each character... Reimu, Marisa, Sakuya, Sanae, and Aya. I originally thought of using your idea, with having all of my characters allied with Reimu, but this creates new shottypes and lets me experiment a bit.
***** I thought about making impossible or near-impossible "spellcards" (there wouldn't actually be spellcard, that's the whole point of ignoring the spellcard rule), and to counter that, each character would have "actions" that would allow them to complete stages, like in PoFV.
8:22 .... So that's what the water sounds were. The ambience sounds more unnerving and creepy by themselves. But then again, it fits the atmosphere of the stage very well, considering Gensokyo is falling apart at that very moment.
@@kooshikoosheiji8565 yeah... it gives a Sad but Hopeful feel... like something bad happened, and you're waiting hopefully to restore everything back to normal... but you're doubting it somehow... like it's some sort of Nightmare
"Who the hell is at the end of this ocean, Yukari!" the ordinary magician cried, her patience wading away by the second. "I want answers!" "...You'll find out," the boundary demon sighed. And in a second, Miss Yakumo and her companion were gone. In frustration, Marisa journeyed on, past through the void of dying dreams and monotone fairies. It seemed so bizarrely dull, this realm of nothingness, for it to be even remotely be a part of this amazing and fantastic Gensokyo. Then again, Gensokyo was withering away the whole time, implying that this sort of decay of fantasia had widespread occurrence. Eventually, Marisa did indeed spot something past the void. It was a maiden, dressed entirely in white, as if she was prepared for some sort of funeral. The black and white magician eagerly flew forward, still questioning who the hell this girl was, and why she was here. And, where was Reimu? All questions were replied to by the young woman's face, as she turned around to face Marisa. "Oh hello, Marisa," the shrine maiden of paradise chimed. Marisa stared on, her face gazing at the faded image of her friend. How could this be? Reimu was invincible, she couldn't die, she would just- "It's me. Reimu," the white-coated woman continued. "It's nice to see you again." Marisa's long expression of shock continued on, as they both stood together at the end of an ocean.
Parker Baird Good, because that apparently makes me either an idiot, a druggie, or a sorry excuse for a Metroid fan. Either way, it's apparently something I need to fix.
.....I didn't expect a peaceful sounding theme like this-- *0:30** hits* oh there it is. Love this. I wanna one day devote all my time to just reading about all the complicated as heck lore behind all the Touhou games.
There are like 2000 pages' worth of official lore. The official books are at least 100 pages each, but a good little core of the worldbuilding is in PMiSS (166 pages). As a sample, you have BAiJR (167 pages) to CoLA (206 pages + 9 bonus chapters) to CiLR (188 pages) to WaHH (51 manga chapters) to FS (53 manga chapters) as a decent little chunk of the official works. The channel GensouChronicle has a video that covers what most of the official works are (pretty much everything besides what isn't yet translated), though he does do a good job of presenting it without making it look as extensive as it really is. If you really want to dive in, you're in for a whole book series & several mid-length comics. Not that it's any less enjoyable, just mind its length before you dive in expecting to reach the end in less than a month. The games' documentation & in-game text is also a significant fraction of the lore, all the routes & endings & character profiles & scenarios considered.
_Mother 3_ ; _Super Paper Mario_ ; this game. Three games with a saddening situation, a world which is about to be destroyed, and someone close to you that you must fight.... Why do I think that _Paper Mario : The Thousand Year Door_ could fit as well ?
+kevin marcillo undertale is child's play compared to anything touhou, i don't hate the game, in fact i own it. Its just got what i would call "artificial Difficulty" as in the "player" moves so slow it makes dodging attacks really hard.
Fuck man, I first heard this song around the time my time in school was ending, making me realise that I'm becoming an adult and leaving my childhood behind. This song will always make me think of leaving that chapter of my life behind and how sad it is to see it go. And for that fact alone, I will always enjoy this song for being one of the very few songs to actually give me chills and still sound amazing. Good job.
i tried beating reimu and when the timer stopped i didnt killed her and i was screaming and crying at the same time "DON'T GO I DON'T WANT THIS TO END" criyng more amd more..... i am such a crybaby
This is so fun to come back after so much time has passed , i stopped playing touhou all that much but damn do i still feel like i played this yesterday
Ten Years ago. Ten years, and it's still as majestic as ever, still brings tears to my eyes. @FlandresOldWorld, thank you for finding and sharing this music, thank you for the stories you create to set the stage for what is about to happen. You made my introduction to Touhou a joy, and I can only hope my blessing will reach you.
This song evokes a sense of hopeless remorse, and catharsis. Everything is being broken down and washed away into the sea, or waking up from a dream only to see the cold and despondent sky.
8:22-10:00 Nooooooooooo!!!!! Please make it stop!!!!!!!! I can't stop crying at those parts because of The Last Moments of Reimu!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
The intro sounds depressing, the more you know the game's plot... the more emotional the music is... the intro is like you're waiting for hope, being desperate... like being in a nightmare, where your worst fear comes to life. You can't do anything, like it's too late. You're pleading to stop this, and wake up from the reality you know. Not this dark void of sadness.. Smol Update : Haha... actually after listening to this for a lot of times now after such a long time... this theme didn't seem that sad for me now (It's more of a joy and relief feels now... Because of the fact that this, STILL doesn't exist canonically.)
This totally shows what it would be like if the franchise is... done, well nothing lasts forever for real... losing touhou is like losing a piece of your soul *chuckles*...
Those are my thoughts as well... Starting at around 8:22, you can hear strange noises. They do play through the whole song, but they're a lot easier to pick up on at this point. The way I see it is that it's the last bits of spirit of all of those lives who are now fading out of existence, every friend and foe you've encountered, as the entire dream collapses in on itself, crumbling apart in its last moments. Screaming to not let it happen, they don't want to fade away. They want to live... Yet that's no longer an option.
super rocki Eu já joguei os três primeiros stages e estou vendo se consigo fazer um Lunatic 1CC. A história é linda com toda essa idea de Gensokyo ser destruída, a mecânica de ter uma flash-bomb com os itens da Reimu é uma que eu sempre gosto de ver e a escolha de músicas parece que foi feita pensando em mim. Tinha parado de jogar por um tempo porque meu computador bugou e parou de rodar o applocale, mas agora eu já arrumei e não preciso abrir ele toda hora!
Interesting, around 8:25 in the backround sounds very similar to the malice sound effects from Zelda: BoTW. Wonder if they're from the same sound bank or something.
That game's lore is the most intense emotional rollercoaster I had in a while. At least it sort of ends with a promissing, bright rebirth. I mean, at least in one of the endings...
From today pov, the plot may be nonsense because of the dream world and sumireko, but look back to the time it came out, the music and gameplay itself is so extraodinary
@@crowedarken Actually if Gensokyo ended,some characters might survive and live in the Outside World: -Any human (Reimu,Marisa,Sanae,Sakuya....) -Strong Youkai (Yukari,Yukka,Scarlet Sisters maybe?....) -Ghosts/Divine Spirits being invisible (Youmu's ghost half,Yuyuko,Toyosatomimi,Tojiko...) -Gods if they have enough faith (Kanako,Suwako,Okina....) -Anyone from Moon Capital Also,their appearance might be very shocking to the world especially on Japanese,because this means Shintoism is the true religion/Shinto gods are the true gods for humans to worship.
@@misstrashtaker6787 Notice my last paragraph?Okina can collect faith if people realized that she is in fact the "incarnation" of Matara Jin(her character's basis). Simply speaking:Gensokyo is real->All Japanese Mythology beings are real->Shinto Gods/Japanese Gods are real->Japanese Ancestral Belief is the true religion->People convert to Shintoism or Japanese Folk Religion for salvation. Although in Okina's case it would be Tendai Buddhism.
Reimu died, and now Gensokyo is ending as a result. The other characters (Yukari, Yuyuko) are trying to stop Marisa from visiting Reimu's ghost because it will make Gensokyo end quicker.
Me recordo de quando vislumbrei essa fan-made pela primeira vez, em torno de 2020-2021. Ainda que tenham se passado vários anos, consigo sentir o ar agradavelmente melancólico por trás dessas notas como se fosse a primeira vez. Obrigado por nos fornecer disso @FlandresOldWorld
I see an endless sea. The liquid in this sea is like water, and yet it is not. It ripples as if it were raining, but the weather is clear. It shines with a reflection of an unnatural ghostly light that comes from the moon in the sky, and yet, in the sky, there is no moon, but many stars. Floating by the surface of this sea is what appears to be souls. Whatever kind of souls they are remains unknown, for regardless of what they are, they endlessly wander about with no aim. Calm. Eerie. Beautiful.
I feel like if touhou ends the devs should just put on every type of social media that ctc is canon and is the last touhou game but lets please not talk about that ;-;
I was hoping that that was Marisa jumping but nope i saw pink bows and realized I wasted time crying and just realized its the Teacher's Pet Reimu ship called Reimu and Yukari
the second picture looks like a field in japan that has been tsunami by a clear crystal water and reimu is just standing there and wont help the people drowning...
For me 10/10 is cool the music But sometimes i cry cuz for thinking what will happen in that stage....i start to feel sad Tought the same happened when i played fnas 3....thinking mario,yoschy and tails will die from eggman and sonic will be hurted by the 3 withred toy cuz the toy ones saw eggman with a sonic mask and they thinked thats sonic the killer
Tuo kuva Marisa:sta ja Reimu:sta on niin söpö ja tunteita nostava. That picture of Marisa and Reimu is so adorable and gives me the feels. Tarvitaan ainakin yksi suomalainen kommentti. We need at least one finnish comment.

When I got to the ending my house was struck by a tsunami coming from my room.

Holy heck, is it that old? Damm this was way ahead of its time

From today pov, the plot may be nonsense because of the dream world and sumireko, but look back to the time it came out, the music and gameplay itself is so extraodinary
Dream within a dream? The Blue See might be deeper than it seems
this fits kkhta well
0:04 *you've died because of a lethal dose of feels and that your ears exploded because you listened to the most high pitched sound in the w o r l d.*
OUCH! my feels... ;-;
Blue sea of TEARS AAAAAAAAA
Gensokyo is ending
Watatsuki Sisters: ok
**Dragon God is typing...*
@@crowedarken Actually if Gensokyo ended,some characters might survive and live in the Outside World:
-Any human (Reimu,Marisa,Sanae,Sakuya....)
-Strong Youkai (Yukari,Yukka,Scarlet Sisters maybe?....)
-Ghosts/Divine Spirits being invisible (Youmu's ghost half,Yuyuko,Toyosatomimi,Tojiko...)
-Gods if they have enough faith (Kanako,Suwako,Okina....)
-Anyone from Moon Capital
Also,their appearance might be very shocking to the world especially on Japanese,because this means Shintoism is the true religion/Shinto gods are the true gods for humans to worship.
@@explosivemodesonicmauricet1597 Isn't Okina a hidden god though? How does she have enough faith? xD
@@misstrashtaker6787 Notice my last paragraph?Okina can collect faith if people realized that she is in fact the "incarnation" of Matara Jin(her character's basis).
Simply speaking:Gensokyo is real->All Japanese Mythology beings are real->Shinto Gods/Japanese Gods are real->Japanese Ancestral Belief is the true religion->People convert to Shintoism or Japanese Folk Religion for salvation.
Although in Okina's case it would be Tendai Buddhism.
Me:I NEED TO STOP THIS MADNES!!!!!REIMU IMMA COMIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!!!!FOR YOUR ASS
Aaaw... Reimu and Marisa walking in the woods as 5-year-olds...

SOOOOOO KAAAAWAAAAIIIII!!!

You've made a precious comment printing the pure otaku vibe that existed 10 years ago, never delete this treasure...
Concealed the Conclusion music always give me the chills for some reason.
I don't understand the story.But your description made me cry. ;~;
Reimu died, and now Gensokyo is ending as a result. The other characters (Yukari, Yuyuko) are trying to stop Marisa from visiting Reimu's ghost because it will make Gensokyo end quicker.
Oh. Thanks for the info.Japanese stuff is not understandable. :/
adrianfranky222 There is an english patch for the game
Wait,what?I didn't know that!
Dunno where to find it though. most likely on Moriya Shrine
This theme's ending is so unnaturally calming.
as i said for the other video...
Step 1: Try not to cry
Step 2: Try really hard not to cry
Step 3: Roll over and c R Y ;-;
Among the fanmade games, this one must have the most iconic plot of all...
Me recordo de quando vislumbrei essa fan-made pela primeira vez, em torno de 2020-2021. Ainda que tenham se passado vários anos, consigo sentir o ar agradavelmente melancólico por trás dessas notas como se fosse a primeira vez.
Obrigado por nos fornecer disso @FlandresOldWorld
I like to think that the Stage 6 theme of TH15 was at least made with this in mind.
I see an endless sea. The liquid in this sea is like water, and yet it is not. It ripples as if it were raining, but the weather is clear. It shines with a reflection of an unnatural ghostly light that comes from the moon in the sky, and yet, in the sky, there is no moon, but many stars. Floating by the surface of this sea is what appears to be souls. Whatever kind of souls they are remains unknown, for regardless of what they are, they endlessly wander about with no aim.
Calm. Eerie. Beautiful.
I can't stop listening to this... it's so hypnotic yet so beautiful... *u*
Thank you so much for the loop!
FEELS TRIP TIME!
THE FEELZ! THEY'RE TOO MUCH!
+Viola Nightray Not even with all of the continues in the world can you survive the feels.
I always love blue sea of 53 minutes’ sense of absolute finality. Really the perfect theme for the final stage of this game.
0:07: D'AWWWWW!
Aw baby Reimu and Marisa ;-;
so many feels
I feel like if touhou ends the devs should just put on every type of social media that ctc is canon and is the last touhou game
but lets please not talk about that ;-;
Dem sounds at the end...
Quite the emotional piece heh...
Imagine this Gensokyo is a dream but then they wake up in the real Gensokyo and everything is fine
This is bestest theme fangame ever i heard. my opinion.
THIS.
This is one of the ONLY themes to make me actually feel like... crying...
And I feel like crying.
I was hoping that that was Marisa jumping but nope i saw pink bows and realized I wasted time crying and just realized its the Teacher's Pet Reimu ship called Reimu and Yukari
OMG YES.
Reimu......
the second picture looks like a field in japan that has been tsunami by a clear crystal water and reimu is just standing there and wont help the people drowning...
Ikr? I can totally imagine Marisa at her feet all banged up and not even giving a shit like "Oh I was wondering when you'd get here,"
Ok, im gonna sleep with this music on. Goodnight
Beautiful ;_:
0/10 isn't 53 minutes long
it's just the title...
*it's like that's the joke*
I’m from the future
Ready to be whooshed?
@@Num1DollFan yep
For me 10/10 is cool the music
But sometimes i cry cuz for thinking what will happen in that stage....i start to feel sad
Tought the same happened when i played fnas 3....thinking mario,yoschy and tails will die from eggman and sonic will be hurted by the 3 withred toy cuz the toy ones saw eggman with a sonic mask and they thinked thats sonic the killer
The sea where one's home planet reflects, but it's very tragic.
I want to leave the video and listen to another theme.
But...I just can't...This is too amazing :o
Jesus Christ, the more I listen, the better it gets.
Essa obra, mesmo que incoerentemente, transparece um sentimento bem melancólico...
This is beautiful
Blue sea because of crying for 53 minutes 😭😭
Anyone got the source to the piece of fanart used in the beginning of little Marisa and Reimu?
Where Legends cried:
I love the representation of yuyuko without her pink hair - is there any canonical evidence supporting it though?
Yuyuko supposedly had darker hair and skin when she was alive (stated in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense). Where did you see Yuyuko without pink hair?
The picture is of Yuyuko and Yukari, not Reimu and Marisa
I need the pictures.
what a perfect theme
Tuo kuva Marisa:sta ja Reimu:sta on niin söpö ja tunteita nostava.
That picture of Marisa and Reimu is so adorable and gives me the feels.
Tarvitaan ainakin yksi suomalainen kommentti.
We need at least one finnish comment.
Ei vittu, suomalainen.
Torilla nähdään.
OmG tiesin en ole ainoa suomalainen touhou fani, mutta että joku tietäisi Touhou CtC:stä.
Mitä ihmettä, suomeelasia? :o
tervetuloa joukkoon. Mistä sinä putkahdit?
+fire emblem player Sampo
Jostain ernujen keskeltä paskamyrskyä pakoon. Ja kuuntelemaan tätä koska nostalgia.
(Fire Emblem on btw hyvä sarja. Fates on kyl vast ainoo mihin oon ehtiny tutustua.)
This game needs cutscenes with dialogues.
Yeah...instead of the dialogues like in touhou,i wonder about the cutscenes.
How the dialogues will look like?i wonder it too
this song somehow manages to be the most somber but upbeat song
This.... theme......
*dies*
I cri everytime
Me sometimes.....so sad to listen it if you know that part
:,(
Yukari is holding Youmu Sword,is it mean Youmu death =(
Now she's complete phantom
