I’d say that one, with its higher resolution and gorgeous redrawn sprites, takes the crown, but it’s inexplicably never been released digitally in North America for the Vita (despite other regions having it), so here in the States, it’s stuck on a defunct system. There was a PlayStation re-release (a two-pack dubbed Final Fantasy Origins) that cleaned up some bugs and translation errors, but the definitive version is the 20th anniversary re-release that first saw the light of day on Sony’s sadly forgotten first handheld, the PlayStation Portable (PSP). First released on the Nintendo Entertainment System, it and the oft-forgotten second installment are often bundled together. The granddaddy of them all, this 1987 last-ditc h effort from Squaresoft took the world by storm and its progeny number in the dozens. Final Fantasy 20th Anniversary Edition (PSP)
