8 is piss-easy. Don't skip it.
Skipping 9 is acceptable. It's debatably not even a mainline game.

Play them in any order you want user.
>It's debatably not even a mainline game.
Dumb opinion

What you should do is skip any game you don't feel lile playing and play a fangame. Any character you don't recognise you look up on the wiki.
I recommend Taisei Project

If you jump straight from 7 to 10, here's what you're missing:
>7.5 fighting game spinoff
>8 kino, ending of ZUN's originally-intended shmup trilogy (and it shows, with the last words and that stage 4 boss fight)
>9 shmup game with PvP gimmick
>9.5 photography game spinoff
I highly recommend playing Touhou 8, Imperishable Night, but in terms of story relevance, none of the introduced characters have any influence on the game plots outside of Touhou 15.

>Dumb opinion
One that I agree with that user over. Yes it's a shmup in format, but the story structure is the same as the fighting games and 17.5 rather than the other integer-numbered windows games. It's definitely possible to consider it a spinoff, especially when 12.8 exists as a spinoff shmup.

I don’t plan on skipping, though. I’ve played 8 but I can’t beat it. I just want to play another game and come back to it.

I would sya if you can beat 6 and 7 then 8 should be doable too, but if you want to experience MoF it's fine to jump ahead and come back later, you loose nothing by doing this.

Out of curiosity, what can't you best in 8?

The final boss and sometimes Reisen.

Is UFO a good way to break into Hard mode, or should I aim for something a little lower? It's the only game I liked enough to play beyond clearing everything with all the shots

8 is the only one I can beat. Is there any hope for me?

If you liked it then I would say it's as good of an option as any.
At the end of the day it boils down to repeating the game until you git good, and you are more likely to do that if you like it.

wait

touhou are games?

Yeah and nobody ever wants to talk about them.

shit game kys

>Would playing the Touhou games put of order be a problem
Because you started at 1, right?

Doesn't the decimal system only exist because Tasofro had to delay IaMP? I think the only reason PoFV wasn't a decimal game was because PoDD wasn't a decimal game

titites

beaten as in 1cc on Normal?

The first 5 games literally don't count
They might as well not even exist

Sequencing is not Video Games.

what a shit take. SoEW, LLS, and MS great games. avoiding them because "they don't count" is retarded. they don't count how? because of plagiarism? nobody gives a shit if ZUN is a hack. the gameplay of those games is still fun. I see no reason to avoid playing them if you like the Windows shmups and to an extent PoDD if you're a PoFV fan
