Another difference between this and the previous game is the fact that it was [[OneGameForThePriceOfTwo released in two versions]]: ''Fantasy World Side'', which features Franchise/{{Touhou}} characters in their ''Touhou Sky Arena'' incarnations and ''Magical Girl Side'', which has characters from various MagicalGirl works. Both versions can be combined together to make a more complete game.

* Wutai: A few of the stages set in Gensokyo are this, such as the Hakurei Shrine, Hakugyokurou, Eientei and the Divine Spirit Mausoleum.

to:

* Wutai: AssistCharacter: The one-on-one mode sets your partner to act as this.
* AwesomeButImpractical: Once again, everyone's DesperationAttack; they can deal out lots of damage but often leave you exposed. It's especially egregious in Lina's case what with her Dragon Slave attack...
* BeamSpam: Bound to happen when using Nanoha or Nowel...
* {{BFS}}: Tenshi's Sword of Hisou as well as Fate's Bardiche when doing Jet Zamber.
* BigBad: Nowel, again.
* ExcusePlot: Like before, why are all the magical girls going around fighting each other? Who cares!? [[RuleOfCool It's awesome to watch!]]
* FanservicePack: This seems to have happened to Nowel in between games, complete with BareYourMidriff, SexyBacklessOutfit and LettingHerHairDown.
* FinalBossNewDimension: Played straight for once with Nowel in Story Mode.
* GrievousBottleyHarm: Lina's dash attack has her smack her enemy with a glass bottle. Ouch.
* IBelieveICanFly: Like in the previous game, flight's a necessity for everyone here.
* MagicalGirl: You don't say?
* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: As opposed to the previous game where the ''Slayers'' characters were drawn just like everyone else, here they're drawn more in line with the source material.
* PairTheSpares: Like before, this is a non-romantic example: because both characters are the sole representatives of their respective franchises, Sakura and Punie are paired with each other in Story Mode.
* ParasolOfPain: Yukari uses her umbrella as a weapon here.
* PantyFighter: Ayup.
* SpotlightStealingCrossover: Half of the cast consists of ''Touhou'' characters whereas the other series represented only get one or two characters.[[note]]Granted, this is more due to the whole OneGameForThePriceOfTwo thing, but still...[[/note]]
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Punie's the tomboy when serious while Sakura's the girly girl. Otherwise, both act as girly girls.
* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: Just like the prequel, this is pretty much the only reason why this game was made.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: As opposed to the other characters who use ranged attacks, Punie is instead a close-range grappler who specializes in rather unorthodox wrestling moves. Princess Argentine backbreaker, anyone?
* {{Wutai}}:
A few of the stages set in Gensokyo are this, such as the Hakurei Shrine, Hakugyokurou, Eientei and the Divine Spirit Mausoleum.
