Dev Letter #9 Announcement

For those unfamiliar, Dev Letters are news-like videos that feature Phantasma and Caroline as they go over future content and planned features for Touhou LostWord. This time around, the 9th Dev Letter is planned to premiere on YouTube at 1 AM UTC, March 22nd, 2022. For those who love hearing about content before it's released, you won't want to miss out on this one.

But wait, there's more than just the Dev Letter this time around! The NextNinja team has decided to host a Twitter campaign for thirty free Prayers! If this Tweet hits 2,000 retweets, everybody will receive thirty free prayers after the Dev Letter!

March Roadmap Updates

Kourindou Roulette will be receiving an update this time around. Starting on the 24th of March, Kourindou Roulette's pool of Story Cards and friends will be updated to include everyone released up until the end of February, 2022. However, the Roulette will be excluding FES/UFES friends. Don't know what the Kourindou Roulette is? Check our article on it here.

The 1 Million Downloads celebration Twitter campaign for 30 Seal Crystals is still ongoing! If the Tweet reaches 3,000 retweets, everybody will receive 30 Seal Crystals. How exciting!

The EXP Quest, which was displayed on the March roadmap and projected to release around the 24th, has received some updates. According to Phantasma, the EXP Quest idea has been turned into an EXP Campaign, which is expected to release around the 31st of March. No further details have been released other than that the planned EXP Campaign will have no relation to the existing School EXP-Up event.

Quality Of Life Changes

Of course, the development team hasn't forgotten about the new players. Next month, the tutorial and prologue will be receiving a quality of life update as well! The tutorial and prologue will get Auto, Full Auto, access to the Menu, and 2x battle speed.

And to top it off, some bugfixes and even more quality of life changes have been announced, which are expected to arrive within March and April. The quality of life changes include:

  • A "Claim All" button, which will do as the name suggests: Claim all completed tasks. No more repeatedly clicking the existing "Claim All" button!
  • User interface changes for spell cards and bullets, including visual icons for bullet types and bullet scalings.

Live Stage Questions

Here are some questions that some of the listeners had for Phantasma & guests! Tune in to the next Live With Phantasma in the official Touhou LostWord Discord Server to possibly have your question featured here. Please note that questions pertaining to future content regarding the story, characters, etc., will not be answered.

Legend (alphabetically sorted):

  • D: Delta
  • E: EcoMaster21
  • K: Kilgamayan
  • M: Minzhire
  • N: Nekomaki
  • P: Phantasma
  • S: Shadorai

Q: Will there be more articles on GamePress regarding lore?
A (S): Hi, I’m Shadorai and I co-authored the Toyohime/Yorihime lore article with Neku—glad you enjoyed that. There will be more stuff like that in the future. Please look forward to it.

Q: Will there be repeats of EX stages?
A (E): Yes, EX stages—Fire, Moon—will be coming back.
A (N): I think Moon EX should be coming back next month?
A (P): Ah, yeah, they’ll be back pretty frequently.

Q: Will the EX stages be added to the JP version of the game?
A (P): I don’t answer for the JP team, unfortunately.

Q: How is everyone [on the livestage] doing on the Fire EX stage? Has anyone gotten a card drop yet?
A (D): I’ve gotten a drop.
A (M): What was the question? (later) I got two and exchanged one.
A (N): I still need help with farming :(

Q: Will Byakuren get a re-run with her Fantasy Rebirth?
A (P): Probably.

Q: Will there be a Sun EX stage with Sunny Milk as its boss?
A (P): I mean…
A (Everyone): *laugh*
A (P): Cirno’s name, did you see her name? Her name, it’s “The Strongest”

THE ABSOLUTE STRONGEST

Q: Phantasma, are you an Alliance or Hoard player? (Referring to WoW)
A (P): Neither. I play where the competitiveness is. I just go for rankings.

Q: What will happen to the Worlds In Hand card?
A (P): Uhh, I think we have shown what will happen as it is a farmable card in Fire EX…

Q: Can you increase the visual coin cap?
A (P): That’s a question for the client engineers, though I do believe there are some limitations on that.

Q: When will you add fumo versions of units to the game?
A (P): I mean, that’s my personal dream, but, yeah. 

Q: You guys played the newest Yu-Gi-Oh game?
A (P): I wasn’t a fan because of the gacha in it, I don’t know. I figured I would spend too much money on it, so I deleted it.

Q: How many retweets do we need to get the free 30 Prayers?
A (P): If you look at the image, it says 2,000 retweets. 2,000 retweets for the free Prayers.

Q: [Phantasma] said [there was] going to do elemental EX stages as a day-of-the-week rotation?
A (P): Yeah… it may not work out with the way the stages have ended up. 
A (N): Maybe weekly rotation?
A (P): It depends on the structure. If it’s the current structure, weekly, or bi-weekly, might work.

Q: The CN version of LostWord got their own story card. Will we get that story card eventually?
A (P): I don’t know.
A (N): I think the CN version is run by a different development studio.

Q: Phantasma, what is your opinion on battle passes?
A (P): Total personal opinion, but, if anybody plays Epic Seven, I’m a fan of Epic Seven’s battle pass, because you don’t necessarily have to spend money on it—you can just spend the in-game crystals you earn from just doing tasks, etc. 

Q: On the topic of battle passes, is the CN version of the battle pass something you would consider adding to Global?
A (P): I’d want the interface.
A (D): Maybe the content of the CN battle pass is not such a good idea.
A (P): It’s nice they put it in though. It’s nice that they put in the effort to actually put content into the game.

Q: Will they ever explain how pizza and cheese ended up in Gensokyo?
A (S): Yukari can get things from other worlds.
A (N): Well, there you go. Plot hole. 
A (S): Well, Rinnosuke’s shop also sells stuff from the outside world, mainly antiques, but I’m sure he can sneak a pizza in there.
