(塚 is romanized as "zuka" in Komachi's name and the sound is usually identical to ず. Someone else brought this up, as far as I can tell myself there's no reason for the discrepancy unless there's a spelling rule I don't know.)

'''Phantasmagoria of Flower View''' (東方花映塚, pronounced ''Touhou Kaeidzuka'', meaning ''Flower View Mound'') is a [[danmaku]] vertical-scrolling shooter, and is the ninth official game in the [[Touhou]] series.  It is rather unlike most of the previous Touhou games released so far in that it's a VS type game, where two equally matched characters fight head to head.  In this regard, the game most resembles the Touhou game [[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]] for the [[PC-98]], and [http://www.classicgaming.com/reviews/twinklestar/twinklestar.htm Twinkle Star Sprites] for the Neo Geo/Dreamcast.

This game takes place in the mystical oriental land of [[Gensokyo]], as usual.  Spring has arrived, but something seems to be wrong. Flowers are blooming and the fairies are becoming active as usual, but the sheer number of flowers and fairies are completely unnatural; even non-spring flowers are blooming. Playing as one of 16 characters, you must battle your way through 9 difficult encounters to [[Muendzuka]] to uncover the truth behind this abnormal spring.

== Gameplay ==
This game is a split-screen vertical [[danmaku]] [[shooting game]] where two characters engage in the normal Touhou-esque gameplay, while unleashing attacks and character-specific spell cards onto the other player, similar to that of ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]''. When a player gets hit enough times to lose all their hit points, they are defeated.


<!-- Please keep this short. Add any extra information to the PoFV Game play article, unless it is very important. -->
The game features a Story Mode, which pits the player against a series of nine opponents that get progressively harder, and a versus mode, which is a single match against either an AI opponent or a human opponent(or, two AI opponents). With the [[/Netplay|netplay patch]], multiplayer is also possible through LAN or over the Internet.

==Concept==
''Phantasmagoria of Flower View'' was designed to be a game much along the same lines as ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]'', and, by extension ''[[wikipedia:Twinkle Star Sprites|Twinkle Star Sprites]]'', where two players simultaneously engage in normal shmup-fashion gameplay but also must concentrate on attacking the other player.


The Phantasmagoria of Flower View is considered to be a competitive vertical [[danmaku]] [[shooting game]], in which two characters engage in moderate-to-heavy danmaku gameplay within individual and separate play areas (aka. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-screen split-screen]). Upon meeting certain conditions, players are able to unleash a variety of character-specific Spell Attacks upon their opponents in an attempt to whittle down their remaining health points, in a manner not unlike a VS. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puzzle_game puzzle game] such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puyo_Puyo ''Puyo Puyo''].

In Story Mode, the player will face 9 increasingly intelligent AI opponents, each more capable than the last. The Phantasmagoria of Flower View also features a Match Play Mode in which the player may face off against individual AI opponents or compete against other human players, as well as observe AI vs. AI matches. With the netplay patch, multiplayer is also possible through LAN or over the Internet, although it has proven to be unstable, at best.
==Music==
{{Main|/Music|l1=Music}}


== Story ==
''Phantasmagoria of Flower View'' features 19 separate music tracks. However, a number of character-specific themes were simply brought over from other games. [[Youmu Konpaku]]'s theme "Eastern Ghostly Dream ~ Ancient Temple", [[Reisen Udongein Inaba]]'s theme "Lunatic Eyes ~ Invisible Full Moon", and the [[Prismriver Sisters]]' theme "Phantom Band ~ Phantom Ensemble" have all been lightly arranged for this game. In addition, [[Cirno]]'s theme "Tomboyish Girl in Love" and [[Mystia Lorelei]]'s theme "Deaf to All but the Song" have been rearranged into "Adventure of the Lovestruck Tomboy" and "Deaf to All but the Song ~ Flower Mix" respectively, in order to fit the theme of the game better.


:''Main article: [[Phantasmagoria of Flower View: Translation]]'' (includes the translated script)
"Wind God Girl", a song that was originally released in the ''[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]]'' artbook, was included in this game in a shorter form, as [[ZUN]] considered the original to be too long for a game like this.

"Higan Retour ~ Riverside View" and "White Flag of Usa Shrine" were both rearranged for one of ZUN's CDs, ''[[Retrospective 53 minutes]]''. "Higan Retour ~ Riverside View" also was arranged for ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]''.

Touhou Kaeizuka(Flower Reflecting Mound) ~ Phantasmagoria of Flower View (東方花映塚 ~ Phantasmagoria of Flower View) is a danmaku vertical-scrolling shooter, and the ninth official game in the Touhou Project.

Gameplay

This game is a split-screen vertical danmaku shooting game where two characters engage in the normal Touhou-esque gameplay, while unleashing attacks and character-specific spell cards onto the other player, similar to that of Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream. When a player gets hit enough times to lose all their hit points, they are defeated.

The game features a Story Mode, which pits the player against a series of nine opponents that get progressively harder, and a versus mode, which is a single match against either an AI opponent or a human opponent(or, two AI opponents). With the netplay patch, multiplayer is also possible through LAN or over the Internet.

Concept

Phantasmagoria of Flower View was designed to be a game much along the same lines as Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream, and, by extension Twinkle Star Sprites, where two players simultaneously engage in normal shmup-fashion gameplay but also must concentrate on attacking the other player.

Story

This game takes place in the mystical land of Gensokyo. Spring has arrived, but something is wrong. Flowers are blooming and the fairies are becoming active as usual, but the amount of flowers and fairies is unnatural; even non-spring flowers are blooming. Playing as one of 16 characters, you must battle your way through 9 stages to reach Muenzuka and uncover the truth behind the abnormal spring.

Music

Phantasmagoria of Flower View features 19 separate music tracks. However, a number of character-specific themes were simply brought over from other games. Youmu Konpaku's theme "Eastern Ghostly Dream ~ Ancient Temple", Reisen Udongein Inaba's theme "Lunatic Eyes ~ Invisible Full Moon", and the Prismriver Sisters' theme "Phantom Band ~ Phantom Ensemble" have all been lightly arranged for this game. In addition, Cirno's theme "Tomboyish Girl in Love" and Mystia Lorelei's theme "Deaf to All but the Song" have been rearranged into "Adventure of the Lovestruck Tomboy" and "Deaf to All but the Song ~ Flower Mix" respectively, in order to fit the theme of the game better.

"Wind God Girl", a song that was originally released in the Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red artbook, was included in this game in a shorter form, as ZUN considered the original to be too long for a game like this.

"Higan Retour ~ Riverside View" and "White Flag of Usa Shrine" were both rearranged for one of ZUN's CDs, Retrospective 53 minutes. "Higan Retour ~ Riverside View" also was arranged for Scarlet Weather Rhapsody.

An extended version of Eiki Shiki's theme, "Eastern Judgement in the Sixtieth Year ~ Fate of Sixty Years", was featured on the music CD released with Seasonal Dream Vision, then later rearranged for Neo-traditionalism of Japan.

Press

Phantasmagoria of Flower View was originally announced on April 1, 2005. A trial was soon released at Reitaisai 2 that May, and the web version of the trial was released the month after that. The full game was released at Comiket 68, three days after the release of Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red.

An unofficial patch that improved netplay compatibility was released afterwards, and an English patch version, as well as a modified version of the netplay tool Adonis, was released at a later date.
