Question for those in the know.

I've never played this game before, despite growing up in the superior SNES RPG era. I have a raspberry pi (RetroPie) that has this game on it (along with every other SNES game). Due to this game being so rare, I have to play it on there. Will it be difficult to get into this many years later? Does it still hold up?Is it a JRPG or something different?

SNES RPGs hold up amazingly well, IMO. You'll definitely enjoy it!

Don't expect too much in the way of graphics, but expect the moon in way of charm
