Each variation of Sorceran is differnt. The PCE is basically everything that was on the NEC series, if I am mistaking. The Mega Drive also got it's own speciality.
The PCE version seems be the only one that uses Western looking characters. I guess they decided being a DAD based game, they should standardly use westerner character for this release.
It really depends, on what kind of fan you are on the subject of Falcom.
Here is something intresting to know, the save file of Sorceran seems to interviene with another game.
I listen to the music on the PCE, when I am at my drawing desk, and when I sleep. Sorceran is what JRPG ( a.c.t. ( action games ) ) are made out of, if your a real Otaku then you should also like the comic book series based of RPG games, which nicely goes along with this music.
