Good ol' Square, constantly remaking this game even back in 1989.

It's not actually NES music -- it's for a PC system called MSX2. Garudoh went over it a little in the comments. Cool to hear these toons changed around a bit, isn't it? Not as tinny = more ear friendly. :)

The MSX version was the best with music....and it still kicks ass. The MSX-2 system have indeed smooth side scrolling... it is possible.. but the programmers where no good at the time... One company did a good job with side scrolling. It was Konami with the side scroll shooter "Space Manbow"...that is a smooth scroll. And many horizontakl srolling like "Aleste", "Aleste 2" (many compile games) good old "breaker" and don't forget "Undeadline" from T&E Soft.

This game was before my time, but emulating sounds (Literally!) like a good idea.

'Kay, wow, the music is amazing, just the battle theme alone is insane

The music and the graphics were better in the MSX version. But the animation was choppy as you mentioned.
-
Yeah you were right about MSX not doing moving screens well. =D did you choose to use this version because the music sounded better?
-

well, it was a last resort b4 square almost went bankrupt, hence the name 'final' fantasy
and it worked!

I've never heard of such a thing.. an 8-bit console?

The MSX systems were computers, so I can't say how many bits they had, but essentially they were in the NES ballpark. The system didn't do moving screens so good, so it was kind of gimped from the start, but it did do a few other things better. It also was the starting point for a few franchises, such as Metal Gear.
Type 'MSX' in Wikipedia and you'll get the full rundown.
