That is basically what I got from the Complete Collection (which is about 50% of why I own a PSP - the other 50% is FF Tactics because I am sliiiightly obsessed with Matsuno/Ivalice :D). Still sprite-based graphics, but not 16-bit sprite-based graphics, much smoother animations and more detail, far better translation (and no voice acting THANK YOU). Basically it looked like what FFIV always looked like in my head.
Though they remixed some of the music and like... that crazy bassline was always really prominent in the final boss theme and I couldn't hear it all and it made the fight seem really weird. I think you can change it back to the non-remix music, but it wasn't so off-putting until that moment that I hadn't. XD
Also includes The After Years, which uhhh... your mileage may vary. But it is included so that everyone can make up their own mind about it, at least. One of my friends who is similarly obsessed with FFIV absolutely loathes it and makes fun of it at every possibility, but it has some high points (like Edward gets to be kind of quietly badass, and I appreciate his character a lot even if he is a sucky party member). ;)
