I beat the game when I as fairly young, but there are times when it doesnt give you a ton of direction. I could see that being tough for someone who hasnt played it before. The only parts of the game that tend to pose any real threat are...

1) Fighting Astros. If he uses rub and it kills an important member of your team, it can make it an uphill battle.

2) A random encounter with sorcerers in the ice cave. Their attacks can cause insta-death, which can wreck havoc if they get a surprise attack on you.

3) Again in the ice cave, you twice need to fall through a hole in the floor, which results in an unavoidable battle with a full team of undead creatures. If they start stunning your team, there is a chance that theyll slowly kill you and theres nothing you can do about it.

4) If WarMech appears in the floating castle, it can absolutely wreck your team just before fighting Tiamat. Even if you beat it.

Overall, I highly prefer the NES version over the remakes. The remakes are way too easy.

I have never beat them but aint all the bosses easy? Like the more frustrating part is getting to them because of the high encounter rate and whatnot?

You can run from most encounters. Just grind a bit at times early on to get a few good weapons and spells, and make sure you have enough potions for the earlier dungeons, just in case. Once you get a few healing items, you can pretty easily keep your team at full strength.
