This is definitely one of those games in the "why the hell wasn't this localized" list of 90s rpgs, and I'm honestly glad I dropped Langrisser 1 and jumped straight into this. Langrisser 2 absolutely MOGS the first game in every area and emerges as a must play SRPG as a result, because when your game starts with Neo Holy War, Knight's Errant AND Leon's theme back to back there's literally no way in heaven or hell it could ever be bad.
There's actual characters and a surmountable story, the soundtrack is absolutely killer - one of the best on the mega drive without question, and the visuals are far more vivid and eye pleasing. The maps are actually well desigined AND let you save during them, there's a natural difficulty curve, in game hints and tutorials in the form of dialogue..the list goes on, and if Langrisser Dramatic Edition gives the first game all of this, I'd love to revisit it.
