Thus full human village <<<<<< one single stage 3 level half beast boss.
+1 Point for me, as it shows 99% of the humie population are indeed weaklings compared to the average youkai/mage.
I disagree. For one, Keine's power is vastly out of proportion with her difficulty level as a boss. Note that they didn't get beaten in a fight - there wasn't a fight in the first place, and neither is it mentioned whether the humans agreed or not. So either they were hidden freely, or they didn't get a choice in the first place - not because Keine overpowered them, but she's more broken than she has any right to be as a Stage 3 boss. For two, what we see in the games are a very small portion of the people living in Gensokyo. It's very much possible that the 'average' youkai is more around Stage 2-3 in difficulty, and the enemies we see in the games are the outliers.
Simply censorship. Most games, violent or not, don't have blood at all, or risk of being considered too gruesome. Even Dawn of War, showing the extra-violent 40K universe, hardly has any blood considering people are hiting each other with explosive bullets. Compare with Starcraft and Warcraft where killed units indeed splatter in pool of blood when hit by heavy artillery.
Also Super Robot Wars, when 90% of the time you blow up a named character's mecha they walk out whitout a scratch (and plenty of times the exploded mecha itself somehow reforms). Even when they are actualy killed, no blood.
Plus, it's not very clear if youkai can bleed or be rendered uncoscious at all. Ghosts certainly wouldn't.
Humans most certainly can, and none of them bleeds or goes unconscious either. As for censorship, it's impossible for us to ascertain it either way, but I'm not sure why you'd randomly assume it, especially given that everyone seems to be just fine and is talking and walking around with merely a bit of clothing damage after every fight.
Multiple days actualy, as if you fail the red moon persists and the next set of characters moves on.
And if you don't fail, everything's fine. If you do, refer back to my argument about "environment is magic".
Because the only reason Reimu goes to stop winter it's because her cherry trees aren't blossoming.
Also, if she didn't went to stop Youmu, something much worst would've hapened. "Rocks fall, everybody dies" worst.
If the heroine(s) hadn't gone to stop Youmu, nothing at all would've happened, because the tree was a bit of spring short of actually blooming - the bit that the heroine of choice carried within/on her.
And in any case, just because there's a sealed demon or even multiple (if you count Flan) doesn't mean Gensokyo is a hellhole where everyone must fight for survival every day.
I have, but I'm not the ruler of the netherworld who tried to break the seal to a big danger just for the lulz. Youmu actualy has all the means to perform the deeds she boasts about.
I would totally make inappropiate jokes about nefarious deeds that I have the means to pull off. Doesn't mean I actually want to do those things, whatever they are.
Also, give Yuyuko a break. She didn't know who or what was sealed in the tree, she just knew there was a corpse of a poor girl and wanted to say hi to that person. She most certainly didn't try to unleash a demon for the lulz. It was more like not thinking things through (which fits her joking around about food too, as it would imply she's something of a ditz). It's the scientific method!
More importantly, don't forget that Yukari was her accomplice in this - we're talking about the girl who is probably most interested of everyone in the general well-being of Gensokyo, and likely has the power to reseal the tree if anything goes wrong too.
But if the main characters didn't suceed, then the real moon would never come out. If Keine won, humies would lose.
Until someone else came along and ended the IN. Or, as veekie mentioned, for 28 more days at the latest.
Remilia does indeed drink blood - but she's also mentioned as being a light eater, meaning she doesn't actually kill the people she drinks from. It's entirely possible that she sometimes takes a sip from Sakuya or some of the fairy maids without inconveniencing them much.
Fair enough here, but her sister is still a psycho to the point she must be contained in the mansion all the time. That's really saying something considering the land they live on.
Patchy's book on dismembering human beings is likely pretty old, from the time when Youkai did indeed use to eat humans. Would you say someone was a communist because they owned their late grandfather's Communist Manifesto? (I was going to make the comparison with Mein Kampf instead, but I wanted to avoid Godwinning. )
If they were called for a poltics discussion and brought it, yes. If Patchoulli goes to danmaku with a "100 ways to cook humans" book
And again, in IN it's mentioned that there's places in Gengyoko where humans just "vanish" whitout trace whitout being seen again.
So we loop once again into bravado. It's likely she was just trying to scare the puny humans away. They were breaking into her place of residence, after all.
Funny, because that quote actualy helps me. "At any price" being the key word here. The games are all about Reimu and other key characters keeping peace "at any price" necessary. Wich includes youkais gone bersek that need to be put down.
Nah, the 'peace at any price' bit more likely means the danmaku rules, which are specifically in place to let people sort out conflicts without anyone getting hurt. Seriously, that's explicitly their canon purpose. If you follow the rules, everything is fine. And it's not like the rules are particularly hard to follow or significantly restrict people's freedom beyond 'thou shalt not kill'.
But if the main characters didn't suceed, then the real moon would never come out. If Keine won, humies would lose.
Actually, Eirin mentioned she was going to put the moon back after they were done, so next month?
Or even the very next day, depending on how the timing works out. But yeah, in 28 days at the latest. And they probably wouldn't even know they had been gone. If you play MtG, think of it as an "exile until end of turn" effect.
Anyway, I don't think this discussion is going anywhere. I obviously won't convince you if you don't want to be convinced, and ZUN's intent is pretty clear. I think any inconsistencies can be chalked up to Big Z not having thought about it too hard.
