Phantasmagoria of Flower View
――幻想郷が蘇生した。
前年とはうって変わって冬はふつうに終わり、
春の訪れとともに花々が咲き乱れた。
文字通り咲きまくって、咲きすぎて、明らかにおかしかった。
ただ、長く生きた妖怪たちは平然としていて、
そうでない人間と一部の妖怪だけが慌てていた……。
対戦相手は敵か自分か時間か。
Win版東方史上もっとも2次創作らしさにあふれる逸品。
――Gensokyo had been rejuvinated.
Unlike with last year, winter had ended as usual,
and the flowers had bloomed with the coming of spring.[1]
Flowers were literally blooming all over the place. They were blooming too profusely, in fact,
which was most definitely a strange occurrence.
However, only the humans, and a few youkai, were disconcerted by this event.
A masterpiece with the highest amount of derivate content in the history of the Touhou Windows games.
幻想郷中の花が満開に! その原因とは!? The flowers of Gensokyo are in full bloom! What could be the cause of this?!
『東方花映塚~ Phantasmagoria of Flower View.』(以下「花映塚」)は、東方Projectの作品群においても特異な作品だ。だいたいの作品は「一人プレイ用」だが、本作は「対戦プレイ」もできるようになっている。「シューティング」で「対戦」することの意味が言葉だけでは伝わりづらいと思うので、実際のゲーム画面を見て確かめていただきたい。「永夜抄」からゲーム画面は一変、中央でバッサリ2分割されたそのビジュアルは、未だに本作以降は採用されていない。 "Phantasmagoria of Flower View" is one of the more creative entries in the Touhou Project series. Most entries are single-player, but this work also offers competitive multi-player support. It'd probably be difficult to spell out the concept of "multi-player" in a bullet hell game with words alone, so do check out the player screen for yourself. Since Imperishable Night, the UI has undergone a complete overhaul, and the split-screen visual style had not been utilized in any other game since this one.
普段からZUN氏は自分の作品を2次創作だと言ってはばからないが、中でも本作はある意味一番2次創作「らしい」作品だ。システムの外観やルールなどの部分は、1996年稼働のアーケード用対戦シューティングゲーム『ティンクルスタースプライツ』のオマージュと公言している通りだが、「花映塚」の頒布が「ティンクルスター」の新作(PS2版)発売から2週間後なのはまったくの偶然だ。 ZUN usually doesn't hesitate to call his works derivative, but in a sense, this is the most "derivative" derivative game he's made. The game's appearance and its gameplay pay homage to the 1996 arcade shooting game, "Twinkle Star Sprites", though it's merely coincidental that Phantasmagoria of Flower View had been distributed after the release of "Twinkle Star Sprites - La Petite Princesse" (Playstation 2).
登場キャラクターは全16キャラ(物語が存在するのは14キャラで、2キャラは対戦専用)。自機に選ばれるようなキャラ以外は、どちらかというと雑魚キャラが多く採用されているのが特徴だ。Win版の初期3作で世界観が提示されたので、そのうえで成り立つような楽しませ方が意識されている。 There are 16 playable characters in total (only 14 of them have story modes; the remaining 2 are exclusive to battle mode). Other than the selected playable characters, the game notably features many small fry characters. The worldview had been established in the first three Windows-era games, so there's a notable consciousness concerning how to entertain the player based on what was set up.
相手側に弾を送ろう Let's send bullets to the other party
本作は、お互い隣あったフィールドでプレイしながら、自フィールドの弾を消して相手側に送り込んだり、逆に送り込まれたりするのが特徴だ。被弾は残り耐久ゲージ分可能だが、攻撃によって受けるダメージ量が異なるので注意したいところ。弾を敵に当て続ければ下段のゲージが溜まり、チャージアタックが可能になるほか、MAXまでチャージをすれば相手側に自分の分身を送り込むボスアタックが可能。相手を確実に追いつめて倒そう! A core element to the game is while playing in the adjacent field, you're able to clear away bullets in your playfield and send them to your opponent, and vice versa. It's possible to use bullets based on what remains in your endurance gauge, but keep in mind that the amount of damage caused by the attack varies. The gauge at the bottom fills as the enemy continues to get hit by bullets, and once it's completely full, you'll be able to perform a boss attack on the other screen with your own character. Be sure to chase down and defeat your opponent!
今作のストーリーモードに「道中」という概念はないので、キャラ同士のかけあいによって対決が開始され、決着がついた後にもかけあいがある。 Since there are no "stages" in the story mode, the confrontation is started by the interactions between two characters, and there is dialogue at the end of the battle too.
対決が長引くと、春を告げる妖精リリーホワイトが突如現れる。「妖々夢」に登場時と同様、大量の弾をまくだけまいて去っていくので注意だ。 If the battle takes too long, Lily White, the fairy who announces Spring, will make her appearance. Just like her appearance in Perfect Cherry Blossom, you must be careful, as she will scatter loads of bullets on the screen before leaving.
博麗霊夢
使いやすい大型円形の吸霊範囲、イヤらしいエキストラアタックとかなり強力な性能。さすがは主人公。
Reimu Hakurei
Easy-to-use character with a large, circular collection scope, a detestable EX Attack, and considerably powerful abilities.
霧雨魔理沙
吸霊は直線型で、1弾目のチャージが貫通型のレーザーなのは強み。アースライトレイは敵の背後から出る。
Marisa Kirisame
Her strong points lie within her linear-type collection scope, as well as her Level 1 charge being a penetrating laser. Her "Earthlight Ray" comes from behind the enemy.
十六夜咲夜
進行方向と逆側に吸霊範囲が出るので、かなりクセが強い。互いのフィールドを貫通して直接攻撃するエキストラアタックが凶悪なので、攻撃の要になる。
Sakuya Izayoi
Her collection scope appears on opposite sides of her player sprite, making it a very strong idiosyncrasy. She boasts an EX attack that deals damage directly, making it a vicious cornerstone attack on both sides of the field.
魂魄妖夢
吸霊範囲が広がる速度が遅いものの、範囲自体は広い。チャージアタックで、おおよその弾を消せるのが最大の特徴と言えるが、追い込みには使いづらい。
Youmu Konpaku
Her collection scope expands slowly, but it has a wide range. It can be said that her most notable feature is that she's able to use a charge attack to erase bullets close to her, but it can be pretty difficult to use in the final stretch of the game.
鈴仙
範囲はそこそこで展開速度の速い吸霊はわりと便利。最大の特徴は溜めが早く威力も高いチャージ攻撃で、ボスアタックとあわせて積極的に使いたい。
Reisen Udongein Inaba
Has a collection scope with a conveniently fast generation speed. Her greatest feature is her charge attack, whose gauge fills up quickly and has a high attack power; You'll want to use it in an active manner alongside her boss attacks.
チルノ
小回りが利くと言えば聞こえはいいが、全ての能力が小規模。チャージアタックで相手側の弾を凍らせられるが、それ以上でもないので決定力に欠ける。
Cirno
It'd be pretty safe to say that she has great adaptability, though her abilities are rather small-scale. She can freeze enemy bullets with her charge attack, but that's pretty much all there is to her, so her determinability is lacking.
リリカ
後方に弾を撃てるのが珍しい。チャージアタック時に、置いたキーボードから弾が出せるのでボスアタックを受けてるときには役立つこともあるかも。
Lyrica
Bears the unusual ability to shoot bullets behind her. When using her charge attack, her keyboard can shoot bullets from the location set for it, so it can be useful when dealing with a boss attack.
ミスティア
移動速度が速いのが特徴だが、攻撃面では特にこれといった見所がなく「永夜抄」の時のように相手の視界を制限するようなこともできなくなっている。
Mystia
Known for her fast movement speed, but in terms of attack power, she doesn't stand out all that much, not to mention she's unable to limit her opponent's vision like in Imperishable Night.
てゐ
プレイアブルなキャラとして登場しているゲームが本作くらいという意味で貴重。残ライフが1で被弾した時に、オートでボムを撃つので、やや防御型。
Tewi
This game is very special in the sense that it marks her first and only appearance as a playable character. When she has only one life left, she will automatically use her bombs, so she's somewhat of a defensive type.
射命丸 文
自機の移動速度も弾幕攻撃の速度も速く、単純にパワーで押し切れる強さを持ったキャラ。エクストラアタックが壁で反射するのも、注意の必要がある。
Aya Shameimaru
A character with high movement and danmaku attack speed, able to overcome challenges through sheer power alone. It's also important to note that her EX attack bounces off the screen walls.
メディスン
エキストラアタックで発生した毒霧上では相手の機動力がかなり落ちるばかりか、視認性も悪くなるのがイヤらしい。だがチャージアタックの性能は微妙。
Medicine
Her EX attack produces a poisonous fog that not only lowers her opponent's movement speed by a considerable amount, but also lowers visibility. On the other hand, the performance of her charge attack is not great.
幽香
通常ショットが3方向なのに加え、チャージアタックは更に広範囲に攻撃できる。チャージも速く、自分の移動速度は遅いので、じっくりゴリ押しが可能。
Yuuka
In addition to three-way normal shot, her charge attack is able to increase her attack range. Her charge attack is fast, while her movement speed is slow, so she's able to bulldoze through at a slow and steady pace.
小野塚小町
発生時間は短いものの全フィールドを対象に吸霊範囲を発生させられるのがとにかく便利。だが、うっかり処理漏れが発生しがちなのが小町らしさか。
Komachi Onozuka
Although it has a slow generation rate, her collection scope is convenient in that it covers the entire screen. However, it seems that Komachi has a tendency to undergo processing overflow...
四季映姫
パワーアップ版霊夢とでも言うべき攻守の整ったバランスでとにかく強い。エキストラアタックも凶悪の一言で、瞬く間に画面が弾に積め尽くされるぞ。
Eiki Shiki
A powered-up version of Reimu, with strong and well-balanced offense and defense. Her Ex attack has her speak harsh words, which fill the screen in an instant.
メルラン
吸霊範囲は真横全部をカバーするが発生はゆっくりだ。また通常ショットが互い違いの方向に出るため、攻撃力が他のキャラより一段低いテクニカル使用。
Merlin
Her collection scope covers the entire lateral area, but it has has a slow generation rate. Also, since her normal shot type usually fires in different directions, her technical use is a little lower than the other characters.
ルナサ
吸霊範囲が十字方向に端まで伸び、ショットも3方向に出るなどメルランよりかなり素直で使いやすい性能。ただ、いまいち攻め手に欠けるのは姉妹共通。
Lunasa
Her collection scope extends in a cross-shape all the way across, and she has a three-way shot type, making her much easier and more straightforward to use than Merlin. However, her attack power is as lacking as her sisters.
プリズムリバーについて
本作品で初のプレイアブル化を果たしたプリズムリバーたちだが、三姉妹のうちで最初から操作できるのはリリカのみ。ルナサとメルランをプレイするには、ちょっと手順を踏む必要があるのだ。
まず、全キャラを使用してストーリーモードをクリアする。難易度は問わない。するとエキストラモードが出現するので、今度は小町と映姫でクリアする。これでようやくマッチモードに二人が出現するぞ。
Concerning the Prismrivers
The Prismrivers make their playable debut in this game, but of the three sisters, only Lyrica is able to be selected in the beginning. There are a few steps that need to be taken before one can play as Lunasa or Merlin (Difficulty level does not matter).
There is also an extra mode in this game, in which you can play as Komachi and Eiki. Once you clear that, you'll be able to play as the two in battle mode.




  1. The incident of PoFV occurs one year after that of Perfect Cherry Blossom. During that year, winter continued through the spring season.
