A couple people are all helping Ran clean up after Utsuho's rampage.

It's a Real Touhou Fact that I'm good at this kind of thing so I'm helping.

And I'm taking my first step to stop being such a racist jerk!

I need my own room, so I'm moving back to the basement.

While she does that, I'm going to look for Shiro.

quote:

Youkai Mountain's been pretty tense since the foothills exploded and Underworld youkai started coming and going, so I organized a concert with the Prismrivers.

I came too!

Yuugi said she'd go to the House of Eternity, so she did.

You can consider this us improving our relations with the Underworld.

quote:

In the outside world, the advance of technology and its associated set of values has given rise to an era filled with incurable anxiety.

But here in paradise, it's different. People live straightforward lives, just like they used to.

...Indeed, I must protect it.

The dream I've finally managed to give shape...

A tranquil world where people can have nightmares in peace.

Huh...? Where is this?

I'm hungry. And my clothes are all wet... How did I always get home before?

...I don't think I can go home anymore, Satori.

Fantasy Maiden Wars I: The End





------

I see you've stopped the game. Thank you for your hard work.

...Shortly after the vengeful spirit incident, Gensokyo greets a season of thawing snow and ever so slightly regains stability.

The fairies and their friends coming to the shrine to play pranks feels quite ordinary. It's a nice improvement.

However, mixed in with everyone else is an unfamiliar figure.

Chapter 56 of Fantasy Maiden Wars D: "Thawing Shrine".

Please play until the end.

And with that, this LP is finally over! What started as the equivalent of a stupid bet soon ballooned into a year and a half long translation effort. I originally started this project as the sole translator, but now I just handle proofreading and the less important dialogue. Meanwhile Ryza started off reprising his role from the FMW1 LP, and somehow ended up becoming one of the main figures of Stream Hell. And of course, Clarste and Hokuto started this LP as readers, and ended up becoming the main translator and the primary editor respectively. A bunch of other people were involved through #touhou (which itself started as a bad joke) too: a_cartoon_duck, Forsety, Golden Battler, KnoxZone, Nook, Nages, Other People Whose Names I Don't Recall At This Exact Moment But Helped With The FMW2 Patch... This has probably been the biggest LP I've ever done. And to be totally honest, it's probably going to be the last. I've hit the point in my life where I need to start managing my time more effectively, and unfortunately sacrificing my entire weekend for updates doesn't really fly with that. So while I am sure as hell going to buy and play Fantasy Maiden Wars D next year, I'm not going to be helming another LP for it. I'm sure someone else will be willing to step up to the plate though, and I'd be entirely fine with helping out some other LPer.

My thanks go to Clarste and Hokuto for the insane amount of effort they have put into this LP, Ryza for pushing me into and through this, a_cartoon_duck for actually playing the source games so I didn't have to polish off my non-existent rusty STG skills, Golden Battler for reading Silent Sinner in Blue because I was too lazy to, Nages, Nook, and Forsety for telling me a ton of stuff about this game I had no idea about, Drake on the Shrine Maiden forums for sending me the game script, and Sanbondo for making this wonderful, wonderful game. And of course, I'm very thankful to everyone who posted in this thread: seeing how people feel about this game series I love way too much is something I'm really interested in. Special mention goes to the most prominent posters, SyntheticPolygon and (of course) Glazius.

So with that all done, I heavily encourage you all to go and buy the games! You can find them all on buyee.jp (which Nages can confirm is legit), so pull out your wallets already!
