I tried playing the nes original and couldn't keep going, then I got a translation of the super famicom remake and beat it in about 8 hrs. It cuts down on the grinding so the progression feels pretty natural. So then I just started to appreciate some of the subtle writing, puzzles, and quirks in the game. One of the most important games ever, but even today it's pleasant and interesting.
Currently playing this on my Switch, and it's a pretty great experience in my opinion. I don't have much experience with Famicom style JRPGs, so this has been a bit of a culture shock when it comes to experiencing it, but this is like a comfort food game. It's super simple and easy, but enjoyable enough to keep you coming back and grinding.
