I just finished playing through this game. I vaguely recall playing it back at its release, but I don't remember actually completing the game. Either way, I remembered almost nothing from the game.
As usual, I didn't use any sort of FAQ or walkthrough. The game was extremely easy. I got wiped out twice near the end, but otherwise there was little challenge. I didn't do any extraneous levelling and ended the game with my party at level 20.
This game has, by far, one of the longest final boss runs I have ever experienced. You get to the final level and you think you are almost done, but then the game just keeps going.
I was disappointed that the "spells" were all relatively weak. In almost all situations, it was more efficient to simply attack. I had selected spell power/defense as my level up choice almost every time and spells were still weak.
The music in the game is memorable and very thematic. Unfortunately, the official soundtrack doesn't do it justice, as the tracks are too short and do not loop enough.
I am still sitting at the "The End" screen listening to the music. It brings back memories of how I used to leave the NES on the Super Mario Bros 2 end music while I did other stuff.
