I didn't say it's good, just different.

The games are actually very different they only have some things in common like characters and general settings, you might as well consider them different games altogether.
>I heard it was hella buggy and incomplete in general
I don't know about that, I know there are the usual bugs regarding battles but frankly all of the SaGa games until Frontier had a few bugs, that doesn't stop them from being good though.

I do think that SNES RomaSaGa explains some minor lore things better than MinSon but I don't think people would play it just for that, I too didn't do all the characters' quests anyway. It has a few things that are quite interesting though, you can decide a character's parents profession to establish his stats and class for instance which is pretty cool, the battle system is kinda dynamic and more reliant on positions than MinSon though there are not LPs and so on, there's a lot to talk about really.

I prefer Kujinshi's theme because it had a great build up in Gerald's story and I liked the whole Gerard story arc, a shame it's used as a common boss battle theme later on.
The Last Battle theme is also amazing

There's this thing about RomaSaGa II, it's more emotional and sad compared to the other games in the series, and it's reflected very well in the soundtrack.
While the other games have a more upbeat and adventurous style, RomaSaGa II has more of a tragic tone, the whole story about the seven Heroes is perhaps the biggest drama in the game and one of the most memorable in the series. It's my favorite title in the SNES trilogy, even though RomaSaGa III is much more polished.
