The original FFII IS the one in DOS, except it is reworked so you don't have to spend too much time powering up. The one you are thinking of is FFIV. Don't worry, if DOS and FFIII for the DS makes enough money, SquareEnix will probably decided to port IV or some other FF game to the GBA or DS.
Anyway, I just beat FFII for the first time over the weekend. I did not like the original at all and the Playstation version annoyed me. They got it right in DOS. The game still challanges you, but it is not impossible to move the story without powering up like crazy. Also, prices are more reasonable.
