It looks better...

however, I think subconsiously crappy sprites and crappy backgrounds look better, because it looks like every other SNES game so it's accepted in your brain for it to look that way.

Whereas when it's all cleaned up and made higher resolution, it doesn't really look like anything that you've seen before. And feels unnatural.

It's not even that. The mobile app sprites, though cleaner, have less artistic quality. The sprite in the SNES version has simulated lighting. Look at Terra's hair for example. The artists that worked on FF in the SNES were top class like they are today for current gen era.

I guess I agree esp terra's hair, I don't think all of the changes look worse though. 

The SNES, was limited to 256 simultaneous colors so it's shaded differently and less subtle.  Artisticly speaking you can argue about that to infinity.

But how you feel about this game is how I felt about the NSMB series, the new ones took the same sort of art of the old ones and smoothed everything like this version (except that they were new games). And I didn't like the newer artstyle despite essentially being the same.
