One thing to know is that the initial concept for Laputa and Nadia were the same, Miyazaki and Hideaki Anno both worked on the initial concept and when they went to form their own studios, they each made their own version ^^
The more I watch this series, the more I feel like we've got it good with our NES licensed games. Sure, there's some trash released by the likes of LJN and THQ, but there are also many classics that were made by top-tier developers of the era. Japanese gamers, on the other hand, were mostly stuck with cheaply made Bandai/Toho/Pony Canyon junk.
I could see how this game could be a success if it released 4-5 years earlier, but the fact that people bought this and liked it in 1991, well... there's no accounting for taste. I guess that cheap price was enticing.
Wow, the fanlation for this dates all the way back to 1998. If sorting by date released and filtered by "fully playable" status, this game is Famicom translation #4 on RHDN. I had to look up Gainax to see which TV series came after Nadia that was a great success. You posted a really non-descript screenshot, which is not decipherable to someone who isn't all that familiar with anime. With that said, the only anime (SD) DVD I have in my possession is NGE vol. 1, heh. I don't remember anything about it so I guess I either only watched it once or not at all. Also, can you explain the "mixed-up notes" joke? Are those properties similar to Nadia? I haven't seen any of them.

If you want to torture an RPG non-fan like myself, an SRPG by Advance Communication sounds like the ideal way to do it 😧
the introduction though, haha. So turn-based strategy? sounds like I should just stick to Venus Senki for strategy-based anime licenses?

Castle in the Sky Laputa is an early Miyazaki film, the second movie is Atlantis (not anime)
Apparently Laputa was the inspiration for Final Fantasy I
ah yes Nadia the anime that after a dark and great kinda cliffhanger, it turns to crap and does not know where to go
I love the anime this is from, but I'm just not a big fan of the game.
