I thought FF Origins on Normal difficulty was a lot harder than the NES version. The Ice Cave is a nightmare, the enemies just love ambushing you and killing your party with Fire3 and Bane spells before you get a single move. I never had that kind of problems in NES. Every boss in PSX also has double HP, and they tend to use their most dangerous moves, such as Lich II always starts the boss fight with Flare (Nuke) in PSX. As for WarMech, he wasn't that hard on NES, but in PSX, it takes you hours to even find him because he's such a WarChicken, and when you do, he has double HP and Auto-Regen, so he's a lot harder to kill.

Actually, DoS had supieror music despite its technological inferiorities.
That's hard to say, IMHO. I mean, the synth quality of PSX's music is clearly better, but I thought the arrangements in the GBA version were done in a better way.
I haven't fully played FF1 DoS yet, so I can't make a final verdict, but I think the DoS version is a
lot easier than NES and PSX versions, maybe even too easy. You gain levels really quickly, equipment and spells are cheaper, and you'll have loads of MP. Though there are a few things that make it a bit harder: there seems to be no Mythril/Silver Swords in Elfland, and the stats gained by the party seem to be very random. My White Mage and Black Mage had almost 50 more HP than my Thief and Red Mage at one part, IIRC.
