Original poster may indeed have Japanese heritage one way or another. The Internet is a large place. But in the interest of attempting to be informative: IPS ROM patching is something that has been common for a long time. This is a method that allows for translation of games that are not generally available otherwise. It is quite possible that he had access to a translated version of the game, along with a host of other possibilities.

Quote from sevast :
Great game, but crazy hard and some really weird mechanics to wrap your head around. You're really expected to die and continue with a new team. I only found it playable by save scumming a lot--and even then I often questioned if I was really having fun.

I thought I needed to grind because I was dying so much, but really if you grind you can outgrow the equipment you can get where you are at the time. So don't grind much. It's really about finding a manageable level and letting better equipment raise your stats. I'm thinking about starting over because I overgrinded and I think that's part of the reason I've found it so difficult.

It's so hard to get into this game, and that's a shame. They should have added an easy mode. I know that would take away from some of how the game "is meant to be played", but it's almost insane to try and play it.

But it has the most amazing branching storyline. The story and areas that open to you can seemingly just go in totally different directions depending on what you do and who you talk to and what answers you choose. I can't believe this is from the same year as Chrono Trigger. It makes Chrono Trigger's branching storyline look like child's play.

I googled things a lot, and I think that helped me get more enjoyment out of it. I haven't finished it. I took a break about 10 hours in. But I gained a ton of appreciation for the game and got $5 worth of game out of it for sure.

This game design is very different from traditional RPG where you level up, get stronger, grind some more exp, get stronger and kill bosses. It's very possible to lock yourself out of the game and need to start over. The game is not holding your hand and tell you what to do, so it requires figuring out what works and doesn't work. I remember some fights made me questioning if they were even possible to beat at all with my party setup. But that's why it is also so rewarding when you finally nail it. This was one of the few JRPGs that was truly hard back in that era.
