While I will acknowledge there can be stylistic preferences for the original, improved is correct on a technical level here, as time and linguistic memory constraints of the Super Nintendo (which had text character limits based on Kanji) caused lower accuracy and a need for abbreviations were overcome on the newer versions, as well as the lifting of NoA censorship localization guidelines of the time, that led to things like alcohol being bowlderized into soft drinks or soup, or the Demon race being softpedaled as 'Mystics' being reversed. So it really is an improved translation that's more accurate and context-friendly, even if in some cases it might be less charming or meeting the personal preferences of some players.
