WHICH ONE WAS BETTER?!?!??!?!?!?!? The original FFII super nintendo version or the redone PSX version?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Better doesn't have to mean more accurate to the original text. Just which one you liked more.

The true FFII was on NES not SNES.

It was just called FFII on SNES when it first came out here in the states.

And wouldn't FFIV Fan Translation and FFIV On Emulator be the same thing?

The PS translation for FFChronicles is the best. It's not perfect, but it's neither as stupidly incomprehensible as the original SNES translation nor as stupidly innacurate and vulgar as the J2e ROM translation.

I agree with Kishi. The PSX version was much better. They didn't censor thigns out (I want my holy and death spells.) I also foudn the plot of the game to be presented better in the PSX version because the translators wern't forced to make it G rated but were allowed to translate it the way it should be.
