Fantasy Maiden Wars: Genuinely one of the best pieces of fanwork i think ive ever experienced, like actually generational.
You can feel the passion and love poured into every fiber of it, and i am just a sucker for TRPGs
Actually, more the even Expedition 33, this is my GOTY

She used to be a contender for one of the worst units in the game back in the base version and OG Complete Box, the buffs she got in DotSD make her really fucking solid tho

Glad you posted this, get to share one of my favorite cases "Sanbon please stop writing so damn much". Cause
(Nearly*)Every
Single one
of the 76 Characters
have unique lines for landing the final hit on Makura

*exceptions are whoever is manning the Ship, Hisotensoku and summonable characters

Really, truly sorry for the out of nowhere mini thread. I've expressed before but this game is probably my favorite piece of Touhou media made. Period. So I can't explain how happy it makes me to see so many finally experience it's heartfelt wonder.

The last thing I can say simply is, Thank you

And ontop of adding and writing even more characterization for NG+ 4 years after the main game had ended, the team was STILL working on getting a publisher and localizers for both a universal store front AND eventual Global release after seeing FanTLs first hand shows how much they love their work
December 8, 2025 at 10:51 AM
And 2 Years after that they casually add in another Post game AND refine NG+ into what you've been eluded to with Carry over characters and somehow even more dialogue to warrant the second playthrough along side the exclusive maps of the protag you didn't play

Insane how much is packed in NG+ alone
December 8, 2025 at 10:51 AM
In the 2 years they could of made a second FMW, they instead opted for compiling all the games into a master collection for Complete Box while also rebalancing the game for newer players given the OGs had already gained a cult following as early as OG Mystic's release
December 8, 2025 at 10:51 AM
The other big thing is while everyone brings up a "Fantasy maiden wars 2", I think it's more telling how much the devs love their 9 year long baby of a project that they'd go on to refine a re release to a wider audience for these past 8 years since dream Arc was first finished
December 8, 2025 at 10:51 AM
You're analysis as I mentioned as far back as Chapter 44 felt so nice and really opened my eyes to just how masterful this games writing is when it hits a very large amount of the time. Gave me an even further appreciation for just how clearly Sanbando loves Touhou/SRW/Gaming stories in general.
December 8, 2025 at 10:51 AM
It's been fun commenting and giving tidbits to you live playing and since I have no idea if you have plans to fully play or just peep at the Postgame and NG+ anytime soon, I'll dump kinda everything out here ^^;

First, always a fun treat seeing a blind experience to this masterclass of a game

Fantasy Maiden Wars ~ Dream of the Stray Dreamer

it doesn't matter whether you know Touhou Project or SRPGs or not. if you have any appreciation for games, stories, or both, this is Required Playing. an unfathomably strong labor of love from start to finish. thank you

Some potential good news a friend made me aware of earlier today.

Obviously keep your expectations in check but, theoretical news with solid evidence is better than nothing at all

Oh and uhhh, Happy Birthday

Sometimes it's really this simple.

(Tho true peak is realizing Mokou has 2 hands)

Big oopies on my end to not included the review itself or credit the writer; @wendeego.bsky.social
Silly me. Anyways the review itself is nice and earnest, something we need more out of in this day and age

The funny thing is, promps for post game DO exist, but for some reason you have to load your completed save data (and it happens every time lol, the game even tells you you can't start ng+ till beating Mehko's arc)

It's kinda clunky, but yeah the radio silence is most likely spoiler reasons
December 7, 2025 at 11:17 PM
Most people that were live posting their runs I was following who've actually gotten that far said basically NOTHING, not even joking about the title drop.

was kinda really sad

Have also noticed people not bothering touching postgame or even looking into NG+, which is equally as sad

Hilariously had to do the same when I recorded every interaction on Chapter 44
December 7, 2025 at 4:09 AM
Man... they really need to add a prompt to say you unlocked Side Story Sakuya after beating Scarlet huh...

Anyways yeah, after you beat Scarlet, you unlock a mini story in the Special menu on the titlescreen. Acts as a bridge between Scarlet and Mystic. It's not mandatory, but does fill some holes

I've said it in multiple replies to others getting to this point but CH75 being the last chapter not tied to the games OCs feels like such an culmination apex of all it's writing and characterization. It truly is something indescribable, kinda like my general feelings of the game in general
December 6, 2025 at 9:24 AM
Ch75 is full of fantasitic quotes on the 4th spell card, Hell Reimu and Yuyuko get new pre boss dialogue after it too with them dwelling on Yuuka's points of Yukari's relationships.

But out of everything, "Yukari Yakumo.... You are a contridiction." has been burned into my cerebrum since 2020

*FMW always trying circling everything back to its themes of unity, natural change/growth and comradery
