Find the Koishis II

Since June 2024, FTK2 has ditched the "2" and Mare has started to refer to it as simply Find the Koishis. If you were looking for the first game, see here (now known as FTK "the crap one" or FTK Classic.).
Find the KoishisAlthough the game has been stylized as "Find the Koishis" (no "II" or 2) since V.A10F (June 5, 2024), Mare uses still refers to the game as FTK2 for old time's sake. This wiki will act accordingly also to maintain reading convenience. Any mention of "Find the Koishis" should refer to FTK2; if needing to specify the first game Find the Koishis, use either "FTK1" or Mare's preferred "Find the Koishis: Classic". (formerly stylized as Find the KoishIIs, formerly known as Find the Koishis 2, and formerly abbreviated FTK2) is the sequel to, and current form of Find the Koishis 1. It was "released" September 30, 2023 and entered public release sometime in early October 2023.
== Premise ==
There is not much of a story present with FTK2 yet to be worthy of a proper header, but the game currently hints at a similar storyline; the player, utilizing elevators, travels around the world on the orders of Yukari Yakumo to rid Gensokyo of the Koishi infestation.
== Gameplay ==
FTK2 is a stark contrast to FTK1, being more thoroughly fleshed out and realized.
Although the name may assume such, FTK2 is not a badge hunt game (in which a player hunts for certain predetermined spots, solves puzzles/obbies, and occasionally cracks ciphers to collect badges) and in fact functions more like an egg hunt (in which players scramble (no pun intended) for globally-spawning items to benefit themselves). Players look out for Koishis to collect in order to procure KoishiCoin, the game's currency, in order to purchase items and access more levels after crossing monetary thresholds. In terms of movement, players are granted the ability to sprint, crouch, and dash.
Koishis have a rarity system consisting of seven primary tiers, four "Threat" tiers (bosses that are brought into the world for players to fight) and three "Deluxe" tiers (variants of Koishis that amplify or modify their behavior in order to possess a higher difficulty). There is generally a risk-reward correlation in which higher, often times more destructive Koishis yield higher KC rewards; for example, the safe grades of Koishis rarely average above 3000 KC, whilst Empyreal-tier Koishis maintain a 20000 KC minimum. Koishis are cleared after 15 minutes by a KLEANER system.
Players can also collect and utilize Opulent-tiers in order to interact with the enigmatic MAGN0-5000, a factory-like structure that is necessary to summon the Magnolious tier (currently the highest rank in the Deluxe field). Players also need to pacify Threats in order to eventually access the myriad of Superion Levels, coveted and difficult levels that end in a climactic duel with a Superion-tier Koishi (likewise the highest rank in the Threat field).
As Koishis can take a while to spawn, players can spend their time by exploring the world and interacting with the residents of Gensokyo, including conversing and engaging in small-talk with them. Some NPCs serve as merchants, such as Marisa Kirisame, whilst others play story roles such as Reimu Hakurei and Yukari Yakumo.

Due to how Roblox's place creation date system works, FTK2's development "began" on September 30, 2023. The game was publicly released with version V.A1 on October 13, 2023, and came with 35 initial Koishis.
FTK2 started with a tutorial level, a hub world and one location; Gensokyo. V.A3 added Ancient Koigypt, V.A7 added New Heresy, the two-part V.A8 update added Port Navalantys, Museum de Koishi, & Diabelysium, and V.A9E added Oceanus Procellarum. The game is unique in that unlike the functionless nature of Koishis that existed in FTK1, many Koishis now possess unique behaviors that keep the player challenged to grab them; the game also boasts a rarity system, a currency system and an entirely rewritten spawning function known as RSS. 
Development goals are majorly spent recreating major aspects of FTK1, such as level design, though as of late it has veered towards the implementation of more experimental content intended to push Mare's scripting capacities. FTK2 entered version V.A9 on February 1st, 2024, and began an update line known as The Show Must Go On intended to completely rework the previously excruciatingly boring boss fight system. TSMGO entered it's final part, "...And the End of the World", on June 15, 2024.
FTK2 entered version V.A10 on May 4, 2024 and rebranded as Find the Koishis on June 5, 2024 due to Mare believing that FTK2 had surpassed FTK1 in every field imaginable. Following a drought of content brought on by personal occurrences, updates restarted in August 2024 with V.A12 "The Magnificent Return".
