Touhou Terranigma

===================================================================================
PART 1

Setting: The underworld. Replace Crysta with Mokou's home village.
Ark is Keine. Elle is Mokou (Skirtkou). The Elder is Mokou's Father. Maybe never mention this, and just have the name?
There is no mention of Kaguya.
No idea what to do about the Crystal Blue. It should be replaced with something. However there's no clear analog for what a fake touhou is made out of.
Likewise the name should reflect this.

Meeting 'Yomi': Well, since it's fitting, have Keine headbutt the door instead of throwing crap at it.
No idea about who Yomi should be. Yomi is the start and the end of evolution.
Using evolution, the start could be something from an earlier shmup. Or, it could be a nameless fairy.
2nd is dumb. First is problematic, since I sure as fuck don't want to use a spaceship or something.
-Yomi as the physical embodiment of moe?

Meeting yomi freezes everyone, so go out to the 5 towers

Keine will, from "Pandora's Box" (does that even need to change? hmm) get her first weapon.
Whatever that is. I currently have NO idea what to use for her attacks, let alone weapons.
She does not use any form of weapon in the games
There is the three treasure of Japan; see end of Part 3 below.

Instead of 'resurecting the land', start the events of the main windows games.
i.e:
Tower 1: Perform some trigger to bring the Scarlet Devil Mansion to Gensokyo. They decide to move for whatever reason.
Tower 2: I dunno, trigger Yuyuko's interest in the Saigyou Ayakashi? Maybe something else from the backstory.
Tower 3: Hell the Apollo Landing could work, but that's kinda weird. Whatever
Tower 4: PoFV, so... uh, don't cause any disasters. Fuck if I know
	And as a bonus, add Fairies Wear Boots. (Fairly fitting since PoFV is so focused on fairies)
Tower 5: MoF. And MoF itself causes SA, causes UFO, potentially causes the next game.


Note that because of Keine's ability, it is perfectly acceptable to do that Discworld-esque time/history fuckery.
i.e. one moment Kaguya is on the moon, the next moment she's been on the earth for the past 1000 years and has driven Mokou's
	father and others insane. It'd certainly be a nice twist for Keine to realize that she is the cause of Surface Mokou's
	father going crazy, abandoning her, and eventually her becoming a Hourai.


Mu and Polynese: I dunno. Fangames (lame)? print works? Kourindou could be one of them, I suppose.
Ooh. The cameo in Shuusou Gyoku perhaps? Would be bloody weird though.
-Heh. Bonus battle against Rinnosuke like in Labyrinth of Touhou.
-And the end result can be a "Sexy Underwear" item that raises Keine's sex appeal by 10 points!

And so Keine heads off into the Hole, leaving a sad feminine Mokou

===================================================================================
PART 2

Setting: Gensokyo, pre-EoSD. Post MS.

Whatever the vampire incident is, it's going on now. Probably. Check the timeline or something, maybe can fit stuff in before.
"I can talk to plants and animals!". No idea if there's a way or reason to emulate this. Talking to the canon fodder fairies? Or maybe not needed.
Some things that have to be done here:
-Resolve the vampire incident. This should be done by Keine. If Reimu is sticking around, like a follower or something, she should
	be watching but have extremely limited participation. I think Reimu was the actual resolver, but whatever.
-Teach Reimu to fly. And generally be a Windows Shrine Maiden.
-Dye Reimu's hair. Or do something about the color change.
Perhaps Reimu should start out amnesiac following the events of MS? And like follow Keine around trying to learn shit.
And what about Marisa? I don't think she would be living in the FoM during PC-98.

Actually, due to the "PC-98 cataclysm", Reimu and Marisa should probably be "sealed". So, unseal them
And Alice I guess, but that should be done in such a way that Alice being 'freed' is incidental rather than a goal. Since
	Keine needs to release R&M, but Alice really isn't critical to anything, but does appear enough times that it needs
	to be covered.
	-And then Yuka could unseal herself, or be Bloody Mary, or something. But this is part 3 stuff, really.

Keine's final act in this part is to unseal/create all of the other major players. I suppose create, since they really aren't around before?
No. Don't create. That's ZUN's job. Part 1 consists of the major players being given reasons to come to Gensokyo. So they're set.
The more minor characters, i.e. stage 1&2, need to be addressed. There's really no way to "motivate" them into coming to Gensokyo
because they more or less "have always been there". However SOMETHING should be done to address their current non-existence.

And whatever that something is, it should also result in a timeskip for Keine. Just 'cuz.


===================================================================================
PART 3

As in the original, this should entail the majority of game time.

The main part of this will consist of Keine going through all of the Windows games. And by Keine I mean Reimu, since she takes
all the credit.

Ark is the main character but certainly gets a good deal of help from the supporting cast. This should be done in reverse, really.
Reimu is the main character. Keine is just supporting her. So Reimu will probably get most of the "stage 6" boss fights, while Keine
beats up the stage 5 or 4 boss I guess. And Marisa is there too.
The reason for this isn't that Keine is incapable of trashing the stage 6 bosses, it's just that it's Reimu's job to do it.
	Exception: While Yukari isn't going to be the final boss or possibly even a "bad guy", Keine should fight her directly.
	She's just that important.

So, basically...
EoSD -> PCB -> IN -> PoFV -> MoF -> SA -> UFO -> ???
"Stockholm" should be discovered before IN. It'd be nice to have Keine meet Surface Mokou even after EoSD, but that'd be kinda strange.
Stockholm, again, would be the ruins (is it ruined? fuck) of Mokou's village from the backstory. Since Kaguya actually showed up here,
it went to hell. Mokou's father failed the impossible requests, etc.

To match Stockholm being within the confusing forest, the immediate solution would be to navigate the bamboo forest of lost. The problem is that Eientei
is inside it, and I seriously doubt the ruins of Mokou's village would be (Really need to check on Mokou's village...)

Nitori should make a giant robot boss battle for the MoF part, much like the one boss in Beruga's Tower. A bit early, considering
	that's near the end of the part and MoF isn't (unless Kanako becomes Beruga and SA onwards is dropped)

No idea how to handle the transitions. in the normal games there's a good deal of time between each incident, after all...
Just drink tea for a year, I suppose.

Keine should probably wake up at the Hakurei Shrine, shortly before the Scarlet Mist spreads.
-No, wake up at the human village (which shall be Lhasa)


There was the idea of relating all of the stage 6 bosses to "Dark Gaia", much like Harry, Bloody Mary, and Wong (or whoever).
This would certainly give motivation for "The Elder" telling Keine to go and create Gensokyo. However it's not quite clear
how to assign their loyalties.
Plus, how to have Reimu relate to Dark Gaia? Why have her do all of these incidents?

The part ends with "Beruga". Who to use for Beruga is a tough one. Since it should relate somehow to the PC-98 characters,
and thus Makai, etc, Byakuren COULD work, but it'd be pretty damn out of character. Hopefully TH13 will have someone more villiany.

-Actually, what would "Beruga"'s plan be? This should probably be decided before assigning a character to Beruga.
Hell, maybe even utsuho could work, since she planned (briefly) on burning the world.
	-Whoever the assigned boss is, Reimu should fail to defeat her for whatever reason. Or have Reimu take out the stage 5.

The neo-tokyo disaster would be done by having "Beruga" nuke one of the existing houses. Or something.
	Maybe leave head as a survivor, if the stage 6 bosses are all helping "Beruga"
	Not Eientei, because of Inaba and SSiB+related comics. Nuke something with little official screentime.

And then since "Beruga" is actually the puppet herself of "The Elder", Keine is put to sleep because 'her job is finished'.

Keine should wake up at "Stockholm", with Surface Mokou. Yomi shows up, Skirtkou does something, etc.
the 5 starstones. Dunno what to do with those. They were needed to resurect the Light Hero, so... 5 pieces of the moon?

What of the treasure of Stockholm? Proximity to IN would suggest the Hourai Elixir, but that just wouldn't work for a shitload of reasons.
Keine has three spellcards relating to the three treasure of Japan; Keine is going to need SOME form of equip, so she could have
three equip slots and those 3 items could be the strongest.
	-Does she actually POSSESS those objects? Or is she simply name-dropping them?


===================================================================================
PART 4

And the whole fight with Beruga

and then take out Dark Gaia.

This really shouldn't be planned at all (beyond these absolute basics) before more concrete thought has been done for parts 2&3.
Current thought for the two-part boss:
	First, fight Sariel. For no real reason.
	Then, fight ZUN. ZUN certainly doesn't look like the giant crystalline monster that Dark Gaia 2nd form is, but I'm sure something
	creative could be done.


===================================================================================
MAJOR CHARACTERS

Ark - Keine
Elle - Mokou (princess="real" mokou, underworld = "Skirt" mokou)
The Elder - Mokou's Father?
Yomi -

Kumari - Akyu, perhaps. Kumari also reincarnates. This would likely mean Lhasa (at least where Keine 'wakes') is the human village
Meihou
Meilin -

Royd -
Fyda -
Bloody Mary - (spirit of) PC-98 Yuka?
Beruga - Byakuren (not much of a world-changer and definitely not cleanser)? Okuu (world destroyer)?

Light Gaia - Never explicitly mentioned/appears, as in Terranigma.
Dark Gaia - ZUN
Light Gaia could be anyone associated with "creation" in the touhou universe; such as all of the doujin circles (as a whole), or ZUN again.
Dark Gaia however is explicitly ZUN, because only ZUN can really "destroy" a fan theory with his word of god. (not that people always listen, or care)

Sanae should probably be in a situation like Meilin's. Like, she does bad shit but only because Kanako told her to. And then regrets it
	after it blows up in her face, although Kanako trying to crush her shrine maiden to death wouldn't quite work.
	-Plus she isn't much of a love-interest conflict for Keine. Actually, who would be?

Alice could work as Christopher Collumbus. She's a relic from the past and she also ends up helping Marisa in IN.

Yukari could be the guardian, in addition to whatever her role is. She'd be completely clothed in purple robes/dress, not named Yukari, and would
	still appear in the main game. She certainly fits the role, as the guardian frequently comes and goes from nowhere, causes his face to appear
	on a stone door, possesses absurd power (relative to the still-weak Ark, at least).
	Although Yukari coming and going out of nowhere should require a gap, I'd prefer the only visible gap to be when the guardian warps-in
	the Tower 5 boss; just so the player can go "Oh. Hey. That was Yukari."
