For comparison, this is FF5 on SNES:

And FF1 on PSP:

I think FF1 PSP > FF5 SNES > FF5 iOS personally.
I really like the FF1 graphics on PSP. Man I am such a graphics whore.

oh wow those phone graphics o.o not really nice to look at xD
(still not sure WHY someone would want to play a game like FF on a phone...)
Why not? More people have smartphones than PSPs or DSes. More people bring them with them whereever they go too.

just do not get it xD i never understand cell phones. why are they even called phones anymore? it is like you can do everything on them and 60% of the world does at the worst times making it super annoying.
come back down to earth humans people are standing around you <3
but really? phone controls? :x for angry birds maybe but FF? xD maybe it does work. just cannot beat a actually game controller for me.
THey're called cell because they still use a cellular network, and they're called phone because it's easier and faster to say than "communication device".

yes of course i knew that xD the top part of my post was actually more of a joke xD
do the rest of the cell phone versions of FF look like that? because i actually think i prefer the snes screenshots :x
Well, the sprite style isn't exactly the smartphones' fault. Personally, I mostly play on my GBA emulator on my smartphone.
Do I wish I had physical keys to control the games? Yeah, but sometimes you have to compromise.

Crap, I feel like running through this agian on the PSP again because of this thread.
Anyway, I also think the ios versions of FFV and VI (saw a screenshot on Kotaku) look terrible.
As for the PSP version of FFI? Great all around! I also really loved the same type of polished treatment FFIV got on the PSP.
No thought. You are right. I'm really dreading FFVI remake now. FF1 PSP is very nice compared to other remakes they have worked on. We need to send someone from eoff to work in the FF department at Square. I nominate Dr Unne. Pssst please help them on VI before they finish this phone remake!
I've always liked the PSP sprites for the older Final Fantasy remakes. They look really nice, detailed, and polished up yet still exude that retro classic RPG aura.
