^The director behind FFCC stated recently that he'd like to revisit Actraiser.
As for Actraiser itself, I think it was the fusion of the two elements that made it legendary as the action sequences, taken on their own, were not nearly good enough to sustain a full game (even if you had added a ton more levels)--Actraiser 2 pretty much confirmed this by amping the graphics and cutting the sim elements leaving an empty husk of a game.
