I’m not sure why he finds it so hard, I think it has aged really really well. It doesn’t really have many or any clunky difficult mechanics. Gameplay is fast(for a turn based jrpg), simple, doesn’t require long explanations or a guide book, and you don’t have to grind like other jrpgs as long as you kill everything on your way to the next story point.
It still looks good and the music is good too. Unless you just don’t like 2d sprites or turn based combat even if it’s easy, I will wager you’d still enjoy it.
I’m replaying it right now, started about 2 weeks ago and play a bit where I can. The only thing is that I’m playing the PC version and I don’t like the controls one bit. If I were to recommend it to anyone, I’d say just stick with an emulated copy.

It’s never going to be as good as your memories of it
