History VideoGame / TouhouFuujinrokuMountainOfFaith

** While gods already existed in Touhou before (the god of the Hakurei Shrine has always been an implied but never shown/explained figure, and Shinki from ''[[VideoGame/TouhouKaikidanMysticSquare Mystic Square]]'' is the god of Makai, who created the place and the demons that inhabit it), it was this game that started expanding on their lore, such as their [[GodsNeedPrayerBadly reliance on faith]], or the fact that said "faith" can come in many forms, even little things like spending time with worshippers.

* PowerupMagnet: The invisible "point of collection" has been buffed - now the player just needs to be near the top of the screen to collect items, without having to focus or increase their Power first.

* HighSpeedMissileDodge: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]; this is the first scrolling shooter in the series to not have grazing bullets as a mechanic ever since its introduction back in ''[[VideoGame/TouhouGensokyoLotusLandStory Lotus Land Story]]'', and so far the only one to do so. [[note]] ''[[VideoGame/TouhouKouryuudouUnconnectedMarketeers Unconnected Marketeers]]'' had no graze counter, but the mechanic still barely existed, with its only effect being that Yuyuko's card randomly deletes some of the bullets you graze. [/note]

* SoftReboot: The general tone of the series would noticeably shift from this game onwards. New characters would have a much clearer mythological basis, and Gensokyo's world-building would become much more deliberate. Games up until
[[VideoGame/TouhouShinkirouHopelessMasquerade Hopeless Masquerade]] would follow a StoryArc sparked by the Moriya Shrine's attempts to integrate, a first for the series.

* BattleButler: Sanae is the priestess of both the final and extra boss, who are both gods.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Sanae Kochiya is loosely based on the real-life Sanae Moriya, head of a family associated with the Grand Suwa Shrine.

* PunchClockVillain: Aya claims that she's only fighting the PlayerCharacter because she was ordered to (given her [[VideoGame/TouhouKaeidzukaPhantasmagoriaOfFlowerView past]] [[VideoGame/TouhouBunkachouShootTheBullet experience]] with them), and won't really try too hard to win.

* UngratefulBastard: On her defeat, Nitori claims that human and kappa are old friends, and she couldn't ''possibly'' impose on an old friend to defeat Kanako for her. When Reimu admits that [[RuleOfFunny she'd forgotten why she was on the mountain in the first place]], Nitori grumbles something about humans being flaky and says she "should have asked the tengu instead". She is much less friendly when Marisa tries to return to the mountain after the kappas' issues with Kanako have been resolved.

* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: The premise of this game, along with GodsNeedPrayerBadly.

* PublicDomainCharacter: Moriya Shrine draws on [[Myth/JapaneseMythology the mythology of the Suwa region]], specifically the clash between the gods [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeminakata Takeminakata]] (Kanako) and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moreya Moreya]] (Suwako).

* VillainHasAPoint: Reimu actually isn't that opposed to the idea of another god taking over her shrine, since it might be good for business - she's more annoyed at Moriya Shrine's arrogance, and the absurdity of them wanting to destroy a building that [[CosmicKeystone anchors the Great Hakurei Barrier]]. In the end, she's talked into building a small branch shrine to Kanako on the Hakurei Shrine grounds.

The game features the Faith meter which slowly depletes when the player isn't defeating enemies or collecting point items. The higher it is, the higher's the value of point items and Spell Card bonuses.
