Kinda get the feeling we're not the target audience for this game. We're not seeing any indications that the script was touched up (they did change the font, though), or any sort of love put into the game, really, just a basic wrapper and some hacky gameplay changes.

Retro enthusiasts know how to play these games; JRPG enthusiasts have at least heard of the game. This is probably a trendy port that means to capture some folks browsing through the digital stores for pixel art games, and its limited release in English-speaking markets means it's more likely to look fresh than, say, Illusion of Gaia/Time.
