Probably the best version to go after the difficulty: a softer one (which I'm kinda sure it's still slightly harder than GBA/PSP/PR) or the actual NES original one. Without the "select carefully your opponents otherwise you fail a turn" that was more an archaic thing than a design choice, let's be real.
Real problem about this and all the PS1 versions of classics Final Fantasy(s) are the aggravating loadings. This one defends itself a little bit but you can still feel them.

FF1 in its original form is such a weird ass and unique game, even with fixes to things like "making half the spells actually function as they're supposed to" this port retains a lot of what makes it so. A lot of it comes from the magic system that takes more from D&D's spell slot system, as there's no way to restore spell uses in dungeons (and healing options outside of a white mage are very limited) a lot of weight is put on every spell use and dungeons and world map expeditions are a war of resources as enemy groups whittle away at them slowly (bosses on the other hand are largely pushovers). This does lead to a lot of battles where everyone just attacks but this can be given a small bit of extra strategy by turning off auto targeting like how it was on NES. This is also a game with lots of built in challenge run potential thanks to the open ended job selection at the start, a balanced party of two melee classes and two mages won't have too much trouble but you are free to run a squad of all mages or all fighters to make things more challenging for yourself.
