    she still has the clothes' writing, only now it's in faux-greek.

    I saw it. In fact, I am the one who tagged English to this pic , for that reason. I ask that question because I don't think the text are that hard to see. I saw it almost immediately when I first seen this pic.

    All characters in Touhou wear outfits that relate to their species/abilities/origins, except for Miko's outfit and Hecatica's outfit. For example, Byakuren wears black coat,cape outside and white dress inside, represent her using black magic but has a pure,white heart; Remilia wear western dress since Dracula,ancestor of vampires is a Westerner;Yuyuko wear fluffy clothe (that make she looked fat) since ghosts are viewed as floating,roundly souls).

    But Miko's outfit look nothing related to Taoism, Japan's royalties or China(birth place of Taoism). The bracelets, sandals she wear remind me of Egyptian, and those combine with her hair remind me of Yami from Yu-gi-oh. And I don't see anything that relate to Greek at Hecatica's appearance.She looked like she walked out from a Hot Topic store. Honestly, what was ZUN thinking while designing their appearances?
    This is what a Greek goddess supposed to looked like, not like US punk/rock teenager.I love Greek toga. I'm actually sad that ZUN didn't make a Greek GODDESS wears it while giving Junko a nice China outfit!
