I personally know two JRPG gamers that played it (recommended by me) and didn't like it, because they never advanced beyond the underworld. And some other people online with a similar experience. Of course, that was in the '90s, when I played it for the first time.

In the 30 years since, the game has become a lot more popular and gained a cult following, but at release time it wasn't like that (not helped by the fact that the 2 previous games in the trilogy were kind of obscure too).

    It's always fascinating to read other experiences and cultures. In my experience, from what I read back then and from personal experience with friends opinion, plus all the aftermath of internet culture I never had the impression that this game is not liked by "most". So seeing the game here was surprising to me. I am in Germany, just for reference.
