I'll probably find myself revisiting this title across releases and this version is always an easy revisit for when I just want to check out the content or have a quick playthrough. It does stray to the "maybe a little too easy" side with the inclusion of mp over spell charges though. In other versions, you might debate with yourself whether or not it's worth using a precious spell charge here or perhaps to save it later while dungeon delving while in the GBA version it's just firaga for 33 straight random battles before you chug some ethers and you're ready to go again. I suppose that kinda makes things fun in spite of the original design. The Pixel Remaster version does strike the best balance between the two extremes of the original NES version and this one though.
