Might be worth looking into the PC88 version a bit further if you ever have time. It's not really pressing, but just a few things I've come across.

I've tried following the walkthrough which seems to work fine until you have to get into the mansion. Info girl is not giving me the key and I've got an item which gets translated as a bouqet of roses. The Japanese wiki doesn't even mention that. It does mention that you can brute force the door at level 31, which also worked in the 88 version so that's good. No idea what to do with the roses and the OCR has a hard time with M88's scanlines. I assume I got the roses from the trading "quest" where you'd normally get the mandarine. Maybe this subplot was initially cut from the PC98 version and implemented in the PC88 as they had an extra month? MSX is back to the old plot though.

Castle escape tunnel is also slightly different, if I remember right the PC98/win/msx version has 5 "regular fights". It has 8 in the PC88 version with the 8th being a fight with the "SM Hanny King". Content wise the PC88 version seems more complete.

The already known Rainbow Hanny appears in this and I can get encounters in the cemetery. I should double check the cemetery in the other versions, but I don't remember much happening, so I never bothered. The encounters are a White Hanny (undocumented as far as I know) and a Red Hanny (not mentioned for Rance I). Both don't have CGs in the win32 version and thus probably none in the PC98 version either. I'l correct this if I'm wrong on the PC98 front. I'd have to check which versions the X68K and FM towns will be based on, but if the MSX is an indication probably the PC98.
