“challenging spell finally achieved after 293 attempts, satisfying difficulty overcome” (20)
[h3]まさか、令和を迎えてヘボシューターの自分がQED｢495年の波紋｣を取得できる日が来るなんて……。 [/h3] 東方Projectを代表する難弾幕の一つであるスペル、[b]QED｢495年の波紋｣[/b]。 旧東方紅魔郷だと自分のスペックではどれだけ挑戦しても永久に取得できなかったスペルでした。 しかしエネミーマーカー、自機の当たり判定、スペルプラクティス、チャレンジモードの追加などなど。 現代に合わせた様々なアップデートが施され、圧倒的に遊びやすくなった本作、[u]｢東方紅魔郷：New Classic｣[/u]。 まさか自分がスペルプラクティス内で293回の挑戦の果てに[b]QED｢495年の波紋｣[/b]を取得できる日が訪れるとは思ってもみませんでした。 人生の心残りが一つ解消され、明日突然死した時の後悔が少なくなったので最高のリメイクです。 あの頃の思い残しがあるアナタにも、初めて原作に触るアナタにもオススメの作品です。 [h3]そしてZUN大先生。[/h3] [h3]どうかこのまま[u]｢東方妖々夢｣[/u]、そして[u]｢東方永夜抄｣[/u]の復活も何卒お願いします。[/h3]
