The only thing I can think of not aging well by today's standards is the level grinding. I recall having to do quite a bit of it my first time playing it, just to keep up with the difficulty curve, and it's not like I was skipping all the sidequests. That was a fairly common aspect for RPGs of the era, I think.
It's also possible I wasn't very good at the game, I was like 11 or 12 at the time.
I played the game last year but it was incredibly easy as an adult. I didn't even finish it because it was too boring. I might download a mod that increases the difficulty.
I made a romhack at one point to increase all gained XP by 10x. Might still have it somewhere, and it'd be easy enough to adjust for reduced XP.
Can you increase the game speed with these Nintendo Online games? I have been emulating them and find that takes the edge off the grind quite nicely. I agree they can be bit of a slog in some places because of it.
