We're in the same boat, I am also attempting a (slow) playthrough of eventually all the games! I'm not bothering with XI though. Ha I was about to tag Mr Crispy, he's always helped me out when I've been asking about FF versions, but he's been here already.

Origins is indeed available on PSN store on PS3/Vita/PSP for $10. I distinctly remember someone (Crispy perhaps) telling me one of the two is better in Origins and the other is better in Dawn of Souls. If you don't have a GBA or DS then idk, maybe wait for the pixel remasters for 3-6 as others have suggested. FWIW I didn't really notice a problem with the GBA audio on 5/6. The PSP version of IV is the complete package with TAY and Interlude and everything. I've been particularly warned off of the 3D version of III. If you're thinking about buying the existing steam/mobile versions of the NES/SNES games please at least look at screenshots first to see if you can bear it.

For 7 onwards, just playing the most recent versions should usually be fine. There's not really a downside I think. I was advised by the board to play the original Tactics (available on US PSN) over the PSP version, and really enjoyed it. Basically War of the Lions has a super faux-Shakespearean translation that's very flowery and not how people really speak. Maybe you'd like that, but I really liked the original's blunt dialogue that has some really good lines. There's some notorious typos but who cares.

I will leave it to GMUN to advertise Crystal Bearers, as I have yet to experience it for myself.
