The same thing applied to Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 2): the original translation had to drastically simplify/cut details from the English translation to fit into the dialogue boxes, which used a large fixed-pitch English font. There's a ROM patch ("Variable Width Font edition") that changes the dialogue font to variable-width, and uses the additional space to improve quite a bit of the dialogue.
