With respect to FF1 at least, there's definitely some differences. I can't confirm all the differences in some cases as I haven't gone back to play FF1 on the NES yet (moved on to FF2 first on the remasters) however there are some things like:
1. Auto-battle option. Fairly certain that wasn't in the original. Battle speeds up and the characters will reuse whatever they did the last round. Can be a pain that results in you accidentally casting Flare (not Nuke) on an Imp.
2. Map button. Shows you the current floor, which makes any attempt at using a large mazey area to wear down the player with dead ends pointless. Granted in the past some of us just used strategy guides like the ones we got from Nintendo Power anyhow.
3. Enemies definitely got an hp buff, particularly the bosses. Pretty sure they didn't have anywhere near as much in the original...
Still, not a bad thing overall. But enough of a difference that when I added it to my Games Complete list, I marked it specifically as the pixel remaster edition. If I want to beat FF1 original for the list, I'll have to play through a different version.
FF2 will be a different beast though as I haven't played it before despite owning a remake on the playstation portable apparently...
