東方神霊廟全ステージクロスレビュー

Cross review of all the stages of Ten Desires

「神霊廟」のステージとボスを、識者の方々に振り返ってもらったぞ。レビューとは一体何なのか。それは誰にもわからない。

A panel of experts had been invited to review the stages and bosses of "Ten Desires". What exactly is a review? No-one knows for sure.

霊夢&魔理沙:ほかの識者がタッグを組んだので、定番主人公コンビも手を組むことに。

Reimu & Marisa: Since the other reviewers had formed tag-teams, our main heroines have decided to do so as well.

神子&聖:犬猿の仲ともいえる宗教指導者コンビ、点数は合議で決めた。

Miko & Hijiri: The religious leader duo. Said to be on bad terms with each other, their scores are decided through consensus.

マミゾウ&こころ:マミゾウプレゼンツ、こころのための幻想郷妖怪ツアー開催中。

Mamizou & Kokoro: Mamizou Presents--a Gensokyo Youkai Tour for Kokoro that is now underway.

ZUN:アルハラはいけませんよ。

ZUN: Alcohol harassment is not allowed.

Stage1

西行寺幽々子

Stage 1

Yuyuko Saigyouji

Reimu&Marisa


霊「今回は弱かったし、良いとこなかったわ。0点」
魔「だいたいなんで戦いになったんだ? 1点くらいあげよう」
霊「じゃあ温情で高いほうを採用ね」

1:
Reimu "She was pretty weak this time, so what was the point? 0 points."
Marisa "Why was there even a fight to begin with? I'd give her 1 point, at least."
Reimu "Alright, I'm feeling generous, so let's go with the higher score."

Miko&Hijiri


聖「あなたも此方も、死んでも動いてるという点では同じでは?」
神「私は霊ではないぞ。それに閻魔様から冥界を任されているこの方は大したものだ」

7:
Hijiri "Oh, one of the walking dead. Just like you, don't you think?"
Miko "I'm not a ghost. And the Yama entrusted her with the Netherworld, so she's quite the big shot."

Mamizou&Kokoro


マ「死後も花見を楽しむ亡霊じゃ。こいつを見てどう思う?」
こ「とても楽しそうです」

Fun:
Mamizou "She's a ghost who enjoys cherry blossom viewing even in death. How does she make you feel?"
Kokoro "She looks fun."

ZUN

「生まれ変わり」がテーマだったのと、インパクトを出すために幽々子に出てもらいました。一度ラスボスで出たキャラを1面ボスで出すと、どうしても攻撃を優しくしなきゃいけないので、迫力が無いんですよね。それがキャラとしてマイナスイメージになるんじゃないかというのが心残りです。

The theme was "rebirth" so I had Yuyuko show up to create an impact. By having a final boss character show up as a Stage 1 Boss, I had to make her attacks gentler, so there's nothing impressive about her. But I regret that it might have a lasting negative impact on her image as a character.

Stage2

幽谷響子

Stage 2

Kyouko Kasodani

Reimu&Marisa


魔「朝と言えば寝る時間だ。3点」
霊「五月蠅いだけ。1点」
魔「こいつに祝詞を唱えてもらえばいいじゃないか」
霊「これ以上妖怪神社にしないで」

3:
Marisa "Morning is the best time to sleep. 3 points."
Reimu "She's so noisy. 1 point."
Marisa "Why not ask her to handle your morning prayers?"
Reimu "I'd rather not have my shrine draw in even more youkai."

Miko&Hijiri


神「貴方のお寺で働いている妖怪では?」
聖「お経を唱えるのは上手なんですけど、中身は全く理解していないのよね」

7:
Miko "Doesn't that youkai work at your temple?"
Hijiri "She's very good at reciting sutras, but she doesn't seem to understand their contents in the slightest."

Mamizou&Kokoro


マ「お寺を掃除しながら大声でお経を唱える妖怪じゃ。どう思う?」
こ「大きな声を出せて、うれしそうです」
マ「外の世界には、大声を出すためのカラオケなる遊具もあるんじゃ」

Joy:
Mamizou "She's a youkai who loudly recites sutras while cleanin' the temple. How does she make you feel?"
Kokoro "Shouting so loudly seems to bring her joy."
Mamizou "In the Outside World, they have karaoke machines for when you want to shout."

ZUN

ヤマビコは有名な妖怪ですが、それがお寺で習わぬ経を読んでいる、というのが僕としてはすごく好きな設定の性質を活かしていろいろな弾幕を作れるのも楽しかったですね。

Yamabiko are famous youkai, but I really love the idea of having one read sutra at a temple without learning anything. It was also fun making use of her sound reflecting properties for danmaku.

Stage3

宮古芳香

Stage 3

Yoshika Miyako

Reimu&Marisa


霊「動く死体は不吉すぎる、0点でも高い」
魔「自力で再生するし、4点くらいあげてもいいんじゃないか?」

4:
Reimu "Moving corpses are too ominous. Even 0 points is too generous."
Marisa "She revives on her own. That's gotta be worth at least a 4."

Miko&Hijiri


聖「ああ、霊じゃないとすると、こちらの方とご同類でしたか」
神「妖怪坊主め。私を死人だと思っているのか? ならば得意のお経で成仏させてみよ」

2:
Hijiri "Ah, if you're not a ghost, are you saying you're one of her kind?"
Miko "You think I'm undead, you damned youkai monk? Well then, send me to Nirvana with those beloved sutras!"

Mamizou&Kokoro


マ「死後も酷使されて、全く自由もないゾンビじゃ。どう思う?」
こ「とても哀しいです」
マ「ま、何も考えないというのも楽かも知れんがのう……」

Sorrow:
Mamizou "A zombie with no free will, who continues to be exploited, even in death. How does she make you feel?"
Kokoro "She brings me great sorrow."
Mamizou "Well, not having to think could be fun in its own way.."

ZUN

墓場にキョンシー、というのはベタベタですね。墓石を並べるステージを作るのが少し面倒で、お線香の煙の表現も、やらないとお墓っぽくならないけど作るのが面倒でした。キョンシーは正直なところゲーム的には向いてなかったですね、死んでるキョンシーをどう倒すか、というのは結果的に4面に持ち越しになりましたし。

A Jiangshi in a graveyard is pretty cliche, huh? Making a stage lined with gravestones was a little troublesome, and I also had trouble conveying the incense to really make them feel like graves. Honestly, jiangshi aren't very game-friendly, are they? How are you supposed to kill a Jiangshi? In the end, I pushed that question back to Stage 4.

Stage4

霍青娥

Stage 4

Seiga Kaku

Reimu&Marisa


霊「死者を弄ぶなんてお話にならない。−1点」
魔「いやいや、こいつの力は底知れぬ物があるぞ。6点くらいいいんじゃないか?」

6:
Reimu "Someone who toys with corpses? -1 point. End of discussion"
Marisa "Wait, no, this girl's power is off the charts! That's gotta be enough for 6 points, right?"

Miko&Hijiri


聖「遺体を自らの意のままにするなど、なんと邪悪な……」
神「道術の先達だが、力を自分のために使い、道を失った邪仙だ。反面教師としてみている」

0:
Hijiri "Bending corpses to her will... Pure evil."
Miko "She may be a pioneer in the Taoist arts, but she abused her power and strayed from the path, becoming a wicked hermit. She's an example on what not to do, in a way."

Mamizou&Kokoro


マ「こいつがそのゾンビを操ってる邪仙じゃ。どう思う?」
こ「とても腹立たしいです」
マ「どうしてじゃ?」
こ「え、だって……、酷いことしているし」

Anger:
Mamizou "This is the wicked hermit controlling the zombie from before. How does she make you feel?"
Kokoro "Deeply infuriated!"
Mamizou "And why's that?"
Kokoro "Um, because... She does terrible things!"

ZUN

道中は洞窟だけどスピード感がある、気持ちのいいステージにできたと思います。けっこうお気に入りですね。スピード感は、洞窟の中に霊魂が吸い込まれていくイメージの表現です。ボスもキョンシーを操る奴というのが決まっていましたが、青娥よりも芳香が本領を発揮しているかもしれません。

Even though your journey takes you through a cave, there's this sense of speed to it. I think I made a pretty good stage. I'm really fond of it. The speed helps express the image of absorbing souls in a cave. The boss too. I'd settled on having it be the one controlling the jiangshi, but maybe I showed off Yoshika's special ability more than Seiga's?

Stage5

物部布都&
蘇我屠自古

Stage 5

Mononobe no Futo &
Soga no Tojiko

Reimu&Marisa


魔「ちょっと攻撃が古臭すぎやしないか、6点」
霊「魔理沙はいつも厳しいわね。道術と言いながら、内容は神道っぽい処も在るのよね。期待を込めて8点」

8:
Marisa "Their attacks are a bit too old-fashioned. 6 points."
Reimu "You're always so harsh, Marisa. But, one of them claims to use Taoism, but there's something Shinto-ish about it.
I'm giving 8 points because of her potential."

Miko&Hijiri


神「蘇った後の二人は、いまひとつやる気が感じられん。ぜんぜん修業しないし、どうにも頼りない」
聖「意外と苦労してるのですね……」

5:
Miko "These two haven't shown a shred of motivation since our resurrection. They don't do any training. I can hardly rely on them."
Hijiri "I didn't know you have it pretty tough..."

Mamizou&Kokoro


こ「このあいだ、飛鳥時代トークで盛り上がりました。またお寺を燃やしたいです」
マ「……なぬ?」

Nostalgia:
Kokoro "I've had such fun hearing them talk in the style of the Asuka Period. They said they longed to burn down another temple."[1]
Mamizou "...Whuzzat?"

ZUN

BGMをノスタルジックな曲調じにして、プレイヤーに「いよいよ始まったな」と感じてもらえるようにしています。導入が長いゲームだなあ(笑)。ゆっくり洞窟の奥に降りていくステージなので、そのゆったり感がBGMと相まって、全体としてなんとも優しいイメージなんです。ボスもそんなに強くないから優しい(笑)。

The BGM has a nostalgic melody to it, to make the player think "It's finally starting huh?" Wow, this game sure had a long prologue, didn't it? (Laugh) The stage is about leisurely descending into the caverns, so that feeling combines with the BGM to create a gently image. The boss Isn't that difficult either, so It's gentle too. (Laugh)

Stage6

豊聡耳神子

Stage 6

Toyosatomimi no Miko

Reimu&Marisa


霊「なんだかんだで強いし、9点」
魔「なんだかんだでカッコイイ、9点」
霊「強く言われるといまいち言い返せないし」
魔「やられっぱなしだな」

9:
Reimu "She's actually kinda strong! 9 points."
Marisa "Dang, she's pretty cool! 9 points!"
Reimu "When she comes on strong, I can't really say anything back."
Marisa "We're on a losing streak, huh?"

Miko&Hijiri


神「とはいえ私もまだまだ精進が足りん。6点くらいで」
聖「貴方程の偉人にそのような謙遜は不要では」
神「ちょうど私もそう思っていたところだ」

8:
Miko "Speaking of training, I've been far from diligent myself. 6 points."
Hijiri "Someone of your greatness doesn't need such humility."
Miko "I was thinking the exact same thing."

Mamizou&Kokoro


こ「新しく作ってもらった希望の面。見た目があまり好評じゃなくてがっかりです」
マ「飛鳥センスじゃ古臭かったんかのう。ところでこいつもゾンビみたいなもんなんじゃよ」

Puzzlement:
Kokoro "I was disappointed when the new Mask of Hope she made wasn't very popular."
Mamizou "Guess her Azuka fashion was just too out of style? By the way, she's kind of like a zombie too."

ZUN

神子自体はネタだらけだったのでやりたい放題というか選びたい放題なんですが、ステージそのものはどんどん狭いところに進んできた結果、特に工夫しようが無いというか、もっと空を飛ばせたりしてあげたかったですけれどもね。今回はいつも以上に特に戦う理由が薄いんですが、話し合いで解決する相手でもないので必然的に戦います。

Miko herself has so much to her that I crammed in as much as I could fit, or rather as much as I could choose, but the stage itself ended up just gradually getting narrower. I'd wanted to make it more like soaring through the sky though. This time there's even less reason to fight than usual, but she's not the type of person you could ever settle things through discussion, so a battle was inevitable.

EXStage

二ッ岩マミゾウ&
封獣ぬえ

EX Stage

Mamizou Futatsuiwa &
Nue Houjuu

Reimu&Marisa

10
魔「無数の弾自体を妖怪変化させるなんて、化け物みたいな奴だなぁ。ああ化け物か。10点」
霊「見た目以上に厄介よね。でも狸だし……6点」

10:
Marisa "Countless bullets that turn into youkai of their own? She's like a monster... wait, she is a monster. 10 points."
Reimu "She's more trouble than she looks. But she's just a tanuki, so... 6 points."

Miko&Hijiri


聖「やはり昔の妖怪の力は強大ですね」
神「やっぱり最近の妖怪はたるんでいるってことだな。鍛え直さねば」
聖「そうですねぇ。老害っぽい言い方ですけど……」

8:
Hijiri "As expected, youkai from the old days hold tremendous power."
Miko "Of course. The ones we have nowadays are slacking off. Looks like I'll have to retrain them."
Hijiri "I agree. We sound like old fogeys, though..."

Mamizou&Kokoro


マ「どうじゃ、分かりやすかったか? 次はまた別の奴らに会わせてやるぞ」
こ「すごくわかりやすかったです、ありがとうございます!」

5:
Mamizou "So, what'd you think? Easy to understand, yeah? Next time, I'll let you meet even more folk."
Kokoro "It was pretty clear to me. Thank you so much!"

ZUN

「星蓮船」ではやや宙ぶらりんだったぬえを少し出してあげたくてね。そのぬえとマミゾウの組み合わせで、ほかの登場キャラにみあうくらいの古い妖怪と言えばなんだろう、と考えた結果が狸かなと。これまたベタな妖怪ですよね。狸の妖怪自体は幻想郷にいっぱいいましたが、外の世界の妖怪がやってきた、という形は神子の登場の仕方と似せています。

Nue was kind of left dangling from UFO, so I wanted to use her again. So she teamed up with Mamizou. After thinking about what kind of character could balance her out, I started thinking it had to be another old youkai, so I ended up with a tanuki, another cliché youkai. There are actually plenty of tanuki youkai in Gensokyo already, but by having her come from the Outside World It's kind of imitating how Miko arrived.

Notes

  1. She's likely referring to Hōryū-ji Temple, a Buddhist temple founded in 607 by Prince Shoutoku and Empress Suiko to honor the dying wishes of Emperor Yomei. All of its buildings were initially burned down by lighting in 670, but the temple has since been reconstructed, and it is now considered one of the oldest surviving wooden structures in Japan.
