Gba was not good enough hardware for this game, I wish they would've waited for the DS to port it like chrono trigger. I've researched this myself and it's a shame people just don't seem to want to hear it when you say the original translation is dated and doesn't cut it anymore or that even when you patch the gba version it's still full of compromises like no one ever mentions how the visual effects like magic spells in battle take a big hit, constant white noise /hissing sounds and screen crunch makes things a bit too claustrophobic. The Mobile/PC version - Includes the GBA bonus content and translation and good music and some pretty nice high res enemy sprites but the character models and general graphics look terrible not to mention on PC its a mobile port so it uses the awful mobile UI in battle as well. The GBA Version - New content and a much more refined translation but god awful music and sound effects not to mention some colors are washed out.

The SNES Version - Great Music and gameplay but a rather awful translation and lacking the additional content the game would later have on the GBA and later. Let's exclude the terrible PSX version from the get go, outside of that theres a few ways to play this game.

While most of the games in the series have had updated ports with bonus features or additional content by most accounts there is a 'best' version of each game. Like the title says, it really sucks there isn't really a best version or definitive way to play one of the greatest games of all time.
