I'm glad you enjoyed the game! I feel fond nostalgia towards that Super Nintendo area JRPG too. It was some of the first stories I loved when I was younger. It is why I chose RPGMaker.
And yes, I remember showing up on pirate sites the first day I posted here. I have no idea why. Payments are totally optional (And appreciated) so I don't understand why. It's not a big concern. I just miss out on the comments and admittedly, watching the download count makes me happy as well. It's the only thing I lose with piracy. Oh well.
