[[ZUN]] took his time to start with ''Mountain of Faith''. After he had finished and released ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'' he was not sure if he should make another game and took a break. He waited some years to see if the fandom would die out. But the opposite happened, and he worked on ''Mountain of Faith'' anyway.
[[ZUN]]'s intent behind ''Mountain of Faith'' was to create a game that felt like a breath of fresh air in the Touhou Project's setting while still being familiar to its fans. It marks somewhat of a turning point in the Project's worldbuilding, with gods being as much a part of it as youkai from ''MoF'' onward. As it had the image of a fresh start, the Japanese part of the game's title - {{nihongo|''Touhou Fuujinroku''|東方風神録|}} - is a callback to that of ''[[the Story of Eastern Wonderland]]''<nowiki>'s</nowiki>, which is {{nihongo|''Touhou Fuumaroku''|東方封魔録|}}.<ref name="SCoOW_MoF">''[[Strange Creators of Outer World]]'': [[Strange Creators of Outer World/Introduction of Previous Works/Mountain of Faith/Mountain of Faith Interview with ZUN|''Mountain of Faith'' Interview with ZUN]]</ref>


The theme for the game was "relationships between people", like the relationships with the [[god]]s.{{citation needed}} The story in the game is tied up with the [[Wikipedia:Suwa, Nagano|Suwa]] mythology, which ZUN knows well. He used some of his own ideas in the story and let it tell in the game. Though, it is mostly seen in the later part of the game. Not all parts of the later part originate from the actual story and real locations. The [[Moriya Shrine]], for example, is not derived from the Suwa Shrine as it would take too much research for ZUN to create it.

A year before its release, he answered in an interview that he started again from scratch for this game. This is to prevent the game from getting too complex by using the same system over and over again.<ref>{{cite journal |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |year=2007|month=July|title=原作ZUN氏インタビュー|trans_title=Original Interview with Mr. [[ZUN]]|language=Japanese|journal=Magazine|issue=July issue|pages=|publisher=[[ComicREX]]|accessdate=15 February, 2012}}</ref>

*The game's Japanese name ({{lang|ja|'''東'''方'''風神'''録}}) contains the character for "god" ({{lang|ja|神}}) in [[Kanako Yasaka]]'s given name ({{lang|ja|'''神'''奈子}}) and the ones for "east" ({{lang|ja|東}}) and "wind" ({{lang|ja|風}}) in [[Sanae Kochiya]]'s family name ({{lang|ja|'''東風'''谷}}), while also mentioning the status of both of them as wind gods, following the trend of the mainline games' names referencing their final bosses or other important characters.
