Having grown up playing these games, it was a real treat and delight to find this wonderfully assembled retrospective on ActRaiser. Thank you!!! You deserve way more subs for your hard work! I sometimes nickname myself "ActRaiser" in other online games, and you'd be surprised how many people love shooting the breeze about the series and Quintet's glory days. I'd like to add that for fans of this series, I recently discovered an indie game directly inspired by ActRaiser called Smelter. It has lots of snarky tongue-in-cheek humour, an in-depth simulation mode similar to Renaissance, but its action mode plays very much like Mega Man X if you can believe that. On top of that, it's also based on Judeo-Christianity and the main hero is Eve from the Book of Genesis of all people, haha. Anyway, this old gamer thanks you again for this video. Cheers!

That's awesome, thank you, glad you enjoyed this one! That's awesome that you beat Actraiser in 2 days as a kid since that game gets pretty tough towards the end. It's really awesome hearing people's stories about how they first got to play a game. I kind of went back and forth between Nintendo and Sega in the 90s so I got into both game libraries quite a bit. Funnily enough, I didn't play Actraiser until I was much older, but still loved it. Thanks again for watching!

Great video! I've always loved actraiser 1 and 2 since i was a young child. I absolutely loved Renaissance and shed tears when i first booted it up. Unfortunately since its release i havent put the time into a second playthrough of it and thats because my first playthrough of it being about 20 hours long. Thats a pretty massive difference compared to the first games 1-3 hour playthrough.

You always take on the best subjects :D. I remember seeing footage of Actraiser for the first time in a promotional video a Spanish magazine gave out to promote the launch of the snes. You could see the beginning of Bloodpool, the statue reviving, and the soundtrack... it all blew my mind. I was lucky to play the import early, since it was released so late in Europe as you mentioned, and I also played Soul Blazer around that launch time, all weekend rentals. I definitely could see the connection and loved how different those games felt to other games back then. And I recorded Fillmore with a tape put in front of the tv lol... I am crazy about this theme to this day, and just being able to listen to its remake made getting A. Renaissance worth it. I loved knowing more about Quintet, so they came from Falcom...also loved knowing about how Yuzo Koshiro ended up working in this game. I always thought the Y's main field theme has a strong Fillmore vibe to it, and I guess the vibe was the same in Yuzo's mind since he was working with the same people basically. Thank you for making these, they're a joy to watch.

So funny story, this video originally started out as "The History of Quintet" before I decided to tone down the scope quite a bit and only cover the Actraiser games. The plan was to continue on with the rest of the games, but unfortunately this video flopped pretty hard so I put everything on the back burner for now. May come back to it sometday though. The Granstream Saga is made by Shade which was a side studio created by Quintet to allow them to work with other publishers without damaging their relationship with others (presumably Nintendo). I believe Kouji Yokota was put in charge of Shade. He had also worked on Actraiser and Illusion of Gaia/Time too. It's a really interesting history with a somewhat unfortunate ending. Anyways, thanks so much watching!

Thanks Vito, really appreciate that! I’ve been doing YT long enough to know that not every video will be a winner, but with most of my documentaries taking between 350-500 hours to produce, it makes things extra frustrating and defeating. Thanks a ton for the support though!

@@RewindArcade If you ever want to chat KZfaq strategy, let me know. I think one problem you may have run into is that the Actraiser logo is illegible at smaller sizes, making your thumbnail less than ideal. Always consider that many people are watching on mobile devices and your thumbnail will be very small in certain locations like search and recommended.

I have a huge phone but I literally cannot read the words "The History Of" in your Actraiser thumbnail. They are a blur at that size.

i absolutly loved reinasance, i just literally finished the game a few minutes ago, and im trully hoping for a remake on the same veing with AR 2. THIS is how a remake of this old games should be, its to much of hopefull tinking...but wish capcom would do the exact same thing with gargoyls quest/demon crest

Yeah, I was surprised Renaissance got so much hate in the comments. It’s far from perfect but I really enjoyed it. I’d love to see Capcom revisit the Gargoyle’s Quest series though I highly doubt that will happen anytime soon.

Why isn't ActRaiser in the SNES lineup on Switch...

Man, I wish it was on there. I imagine either Square Enix doesn't want to license it to Nintendo or Nintendo has no desire to license it from SE. Fingers cross it gets added one of these days!

Yeshua video game series wasn't there a 3rd game in the series?

There are technically only two official ActRaiser games. Renaissance is the 3rd entry in the series, but it’s just a remake of the first game. Solo Crisis on the Sega Saturn is more of a spiritual successor and not exactly part of the ActRaiser franchise.

I think SE over-analysed the original game when making Renaissance. The Sim sections were a horrendous over-kill!

I think renaissance completely ruined the game. No fucking reason to turn the angel into a anime child for nonces, and the characters they added were complete weeb trash, absolutely incompatible with the game the remake is based on. Not sure it the remake sold well but it sparks bad news for any of the other quintet games that could be remade
