If you're playing for the story and narrative, the remaster is better. Plus it has great QOL improvements. If you want to sink your teeth in to the mechanics and enjoy the vision of the original, well, the original then. Purists will likely always say the original. To be sure the mechanics are the same.

14 kwi 2020 · Original is fully moddable, so you can upgrade backgrounds, textures, etc... to higher resolution with fan mods, etc. Remaster is still being decoded so that some of those mods will work. Plus the remaster took away some things such as full motion support.
If you didn't, get the 7 and original 8. I think the graphics improvements of FF8 remastered are worth the extra few dollars (but still would only recommend during a sale). If your decision is made because money is tight, I would say skip FF8 altogether for now and revisit at a later date.
Pros: Highly accessible (you can buy it right now), cheap, zero crashes, portable, playing speed can be increased to 3x, remastered models and text adjust most of the original designs for our current expectations. Cons: You can only walk in 4 directions with the analog stick, remastered models take away some of the charm of the late 90s designs.
