NES, duh.

The PS1 or GBA versions.

PS1. Fuck the GBA version.

reading 8-bit theather then pretending that is what happened

PS1. It fixes all of the bugs that the NES version had and you can actually see it, unlike the GBA version.

this.

if you MUST play the game, has it right. the load times are superfluous as the game took that long to load anyway

PS1

GBA was pretty okay when I played, I recall PSX version having weird load times, but then again it might have been FF6 and not this.
Did they ever release a PSP version?

>8-bit theather
God damn, I completely forgot about it.

Do the Origins remakes add anything other than updated graphics?

No, and that's why it's the best remake by far. It didn't fuck up the mechanics.

The added the ability to automatically target another enemy when the one you had targeted just died. Although, you can turn that off if you like to whiff at dead enemies.

PSP has the best versions of 1, 2 and 4.

romhack that keeps the visuals of the original but fixes all the bugs

NES sped up on an emulator. Fixes the QOL problems while keeping the jank.

Does such a version exist?

OP watched ProJared.

yes some kind user once linked me one but I don't have it anymore. If you're lucky someone might post it.

With some searching I've found a few that claim to fix bugs and rebalance the game. Should I go for one that only claims to fix the bugs to leave the difficulty somewhat intact or would a rebalanced version be a good idea?

MSX

IOS

If you're gonna bother with the original I would just play it as is. I'm not knowledgeable about the bugs but the game is fine to play through regardless. Biggest thing for me is if you can stand your characters swinging at air if a creature dies early in the turn order after you've put all the commands in. If that sort of thing would bother you you're much better off playing one of the later versions.

I think it's a good idea to try out the NES version. I have a lot of nostalgia for it, but it's still good idea to see how absolutely broken and badly programmed the original was. Also because black belts were hilariously overpowered.

bug fixes is all you need. If you can find something that has your characters attack a new target after an enemy is defeated do that, and if there's anything out there that lets you buy more than one item at the item shop that'll save you a lot of a presses.
couldn't find a better monster chart image so here's a readable rundown

Oh man I loved the charts this game came with. Still have mine around here somewhere but its in poor shape.

gba version

The one that rips off Dungeons and Dragons

It added load times

It was only FF V and VI that had the awful load times on PSX.
