							GBA has it's moments. The only thing I'd change in the GBA for sure is the entire ending before and during fighting Kefka.
The original script:
Kefka: Welcome, friends! I knew you'd make it here, so I've prepared some suitable 
entertainment for you!
Team: How long are you going to let the destruction continue?
Kefka:     I've tapped into the ultimate power. Observe...!
Kefka:     Such magnificent power! You are like insects to me!
Kefka:     I will exterminate everyone, and everything!
Team: People will keep rebuilding the things you take from them!
Kefka:     Then I'll destroy those too. Why do people rebuild things they know are going to be destroyed? Why do people cling to life when they know they can't live forever? Think how meaningless each of your lives is!
Team: It's not the net result of one's life that's important! It's the day-to-day concerns, the personal victories, and the celebration of life... and love! It's enough if people are able to experience the joy that each day can bring!
Kefka:     And have you found your "joy" in this nearly dead world of ours?
Team: Yes!
Terra:     I know what love is...!
Locke:     And I have learned to celebrate life... and the living.
Cyan:      My family lives on inside of me.
Shadow:    I know what friendship is... and family...
Edgar:     It is my dream to build a kingdom in which I can guarantee freedom and dignity.
Sabin:     I have come to experience anew the love of my brother...
Celes:     I've met someone who can accept me for what I am.
Strago:    I have a special little Granddaughter!
Setzer:    My friend's airship... and her love!
Mog:       I have my friends here!
Kefka:     This is sickening... You sound like chapters from a self-help booklet! Prepare yourselves!
Kefka:     Now, for my next trick, I will make you all... disappear!
Team: Kefka, you don't know what you're doing! Stop!
Kefka:     I command the greatest power in the universe! You are all helpless before me!
Kefka:     I will destroy everything... I will create a monument to non-existence!
Team: Life will go on! There will always be people, and dreams!
Kefka:     No! I will hunt them down. I will destroy it all! Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!!
Team: We will not allow you to harm another living thing.
Kefka:     Hee, hee, hee!! But what fun is destruction if no "precious" lives are lost?
Team: It's over, Kefka!
Kefka:     Life... dreams... hope... Where'd they come from? And where are they headed? These things... I am going to destroy!
The end comes... beyond chaos.
The GBA Script:
Kefka:	  Welcome, friends! I knew you'd come, so I've been practicing my greeting!
Party:	  How much do you have to destroy before you'll have had your fill, Kefka!?
Kefka:	  I've acquired the ultimate power! Observe...
Kefka:	  Such magnificent power! You're all nothing more than fleas compared to me now!
Kefka:	  Embrace your destruction... It is the fate of all things.
Party:	  To be destroyed? Maybe it is! But people can always rebuild, and new lives will always be born!
Kefka:	  And time will destroy all of those as well. Why do people insist on 	  creating things that will inevitably be destroyed? Why do people cling to life, knowing that they must someday die? ...Knowing that none of it will have meant anything once they do?
Terra:	  Because it's not the end that matters! It's knowing that you have something to live for right now, at this moment! Something you've worked for... something that's worth protecting! As long as you have
that...that's enough!
Kefka:	  And did you all find your "somethings" in this broken world that just won't die?
Party:	  Yes!
Terra:	  Love!
Locke:	  A person worth protecting.
Cyan: 	  A life and child who live on within me.
Shadow:	  Friends...and family.
Edgar:	  A peaceful kingdom.
Sabin:	  A loving brother who always looks out for me! Gah-ha-ha-ha!
Celes:	  Someone willing to accept me for who I am.
Strago:	  An adorable little granddaughter.
Relm:	  An obnoxious grandpa...who I couldn't live without!
Setzer:	  Wings from a dear old friend!
Mog:	  New pals, kupo!
Kefka:	  Bleh! You people make me sick! You sound like lines from a self-help book!
Kefka:	  If that's how it's going to be... I'll snuff them all out! Every last one of your sickening, happy little reasons for living!
Party:	  No, Kefka, stop!
[Kefka uses the Light of Judgment across the world.]
Kefka: 	  I wield the greatest power in existence! You may as well be the dirt on the bottom of my boots! Or the dirt stuck to the bottom of that dirt!
Party:	  You can't destroy everything! People will always have dreams!
Kefka:	  No! I'll destroy the entire world! There won't be anything left to dream about!
Party:	  We won't let you hurt any more people!
Kefka:	  Hee-hee-hee! But what fun is destruction if no "precious" lives are lost?
Party:	  It ends here, Kefka!
[The party enters into a final battle with Kefka!]
Kefka: 	  Life... Dreams... Hope... Where do they come from? And where do they go...? Such meaningless things... I'll destroy them all!
Kefka:	  The end draws near...

I never got as much inspiring feeling from the GBA ending as much as the original translation.
