I only played the NES/FC version and I absolutely loved it. This game offers true freedom.
From what I can tell it's a very faithful port and all the content is there, plus some extra content like some new items and access to a spell that only enemies could use in the original.

The balancing is different than in the original though, in the og the max level is around 15 afaik but here I was 40-45 by the end game.

The official English translation was cancelled and leaked at 80-85% completion, everyone onlines claims it's less than that though and that it's full of crashes. I only got a single crash in the end game and it was avoidable if you go through the area in another manner; and for the few areas that weren't translated I switched to the Japanese version (saves are compatible) and used AI translation. Also for some reasons in the leaked English proto the automap doesn't work properly in Mesen but works in FCEUX.

One of the most impressive RPGs I've played on NES alongside Might&Magic
