The PS1 version on Normal mode is basically a direct copy of the NES original (with a few added features, but nothing that made the game less difficult), and the NES original was really difficult. The most challenging FF game I've ever played, and probably will ever play (they don't seem to be getting any more difficult lately). Most remakes have been made much much easier than the original versions (Dawn of Souls for example), and the real question is why they made them easier. Because the games would be too difficult for the general public otherwise?
