I haven't played the PSP version but I'm certain I'd like it.

The GBA version is my favourite...until I play the PSP version.

There are many reasons why I prefer the PSP version. It has the gameplay of the GBA version and the soundtrack of the Origins version. I do not really like the original at all. The original version is too buggy, while the GBA and PSP versions are bugfree. The PSP version has gameplay that is consistent with the modern Final Fantasy games, and so does the GBA version. I got bothered by the original version's gameplay, such as having to keep on pressing the Confirm button so many times to get a large quantity of an item. You can save the game anywhere on the GBA or PSP version. Also, the PSP version's graphics give a much brighter atmosphere than the NES version would. The black background in the NES battle screen is dull, causing a lack of atmosphre. Also, the PSP version has aerial effects, which the previous versions lack. The GBA and PSP versions may appear to be easier than the NES version. However, Chaos is more difficult in the GBA and PSP versions than he was in the original version. The original version has spells that do not work at all, but that was fixed in the remakes. It takes a Warrior, Thief, Black Belt, and Red Mage to beat the original version, while it takes a Warrior, Thief, White Mage, and Black Mage to beat the GBA and PSP versions easily without having to level up extensively. The PSP version is based on the GBA version. The PSP script is identical to the GBA script for both Japanese and English.

Update: On March 17, 2008, I beat the PSP version of Final Fantasy I. I used the same party as I did on the original version. I beat the original version six years ago.

I'm currently playing it again on the PSP. I played it before on the PSX, though that was quite some time ago. So it's the second time I bought it, but oh well ...

I think the big problem with the FFI remake (which in all reality is essentially the same whether you're playing it on the PSX, GBA, or PSP) is that its not always explicitly clear where you need to go and what your next objective is, which is why, I think, people who played the original don't find it confusing, while people who haven't do.

thats a bit true with all Final Fantasy games, but you're right, i had to buy the guide for FF1 because it's so unclear where to go next. The storyline isn't exactly strong either unlike FFVI onwards, so it seems abit pointless doing certain things in the game. Hopefully it'll make some sense as i go on
