I've been meaning to give that one more time. Seems cool and graphically amazing. The difference between the first game definitely threw me off originally, lol.

I struggle with the glide mechanics in ActRaiser 2 though, and they are absolutely required for defeating at least one of the bosses. I may go back to it eventually, but my memories of the controls aren't pleasant.

I remember when ActRaiser launched. It was one of those games that looked amazing to me in the pages of Nintendo Power but I could never find it for sale or rent at the local stores. Same situation with Ogre Battle. Never tracked down either game until I was an adult.

I love what I've played of ActRaiser but still haven't buckled down to finish it. I didn't love what I played of the sequel.

You should finish the first! It is worth getting through. The second... I love its visual aesthetics, but it never feels as interesting because they dropped the RTS component.

Oh man, I forgot about the gliding. Well that sums up my gripes with Demon's Crests' weird floaty controls. :P

ActRaiser's final boss is fantastic.

I just made my monthly headbutts into my credit card debt. This is going to fill the hole I just made right back in....

I have more than enough life slapping me in the face to be able to even be able to worry about that....

Yeah, I'm lucky to have relatively cheap rent, overall good health, and a really good health insurance plan. =/ I've been quite fortunate to even be able to make questionable, frivolous decisions with my money and credit.
