It's a game about coming of age, about the loss of innocence. With a cutesy and whimsical exterior, you will notice that the game tackles some very fucked up themes like the KKK or Giygas being a rape scene as Itoi witnessed it in his childhood (he walked into a movie theater's basement in Japan --some theaters in Japan have regular movies on the top floor and smut in the basement). It manages to feel refreshing and fun even though technologically it's stale compared to other RPGs of its time like Chrono Trigger or SMRPG. Itoi wanted to make a game "for children, for adults, and even your older sister", and he succeeded at that by tugging at people's heartstrings.
