About
An early SNES Action + Simulation game produced by Quintet and released by Enix in 1991.
The player becomes a God/Master looking down on the earth, possesses a stone statue of God on the ground, and engages in a battle to save the world from being taken over by Demon King Tanzra.
This battle is divided into two parts: "Action Mode" and "Creation Mode." In Action Mode, you have to defeat the Devil/Monster who has incarnated into a God statue and rules various places, and then in Creation Mode, you have to lead Humans to land. The story is to let good people take root in the land, seal all monster nests, and depart for the next Devil's land.
Yuzo Koshiro is in charge of God/Master's character voice in action mode.
It has been praised as a great game due to its various actions, deep creation mode, and excellent BGM by Yuzo Koshiro.
In a double sense.
It is also a game that is similar to the ``God's point of view'' work, where a player on the sidelines takes control of a pseudo-human world.
In short, it is a ``God Game where you become a God and fight against the Devil to restore the Human World.''
Incidentally, it seems that sales were better overseas than in Japan.
As a side note, there is an anecdote that the BGM created by Yuzo Koshiro so appalled the music staff of Final Fantasy IV that they had to rework all the music (and the release was delayed).
Later, at the FINAL FANTASY exhibition in 2012, Nobuo Uematsu corrected this as an exaggeration, saying that in reality it was just a resampling of the sound source, but that it "couldn't have won at the time."
From this, it can be said that if the timing of the software's release is taken into account, excellent expression was achieved.
Later, in 2016 on Niconico Live,
"It's been a while since I listened to the song 'Act Raiser'. The tone is nothing special."
``What shocked me was probably not the tone, but the music.But since I can't rewrite all the songs now, I thought I'd change just the tone...I'll be honest. Then,” he says.
