I'm curious, did you have any difficulty with the final boss?
For me I think it was the single worst final boss ever in a game I've played. Total RNG on if he one shot my entire party even through them using guard or if I'd stunlock him to death in 5 turns.
As for your questions, theres no english translation for DS yet, its still in limbo. Only the spanish version is done.
Also I imagine most people here would be fine with you talking about P1/P2, I certainty talk about it relatively often without any pushback. If you want to play unmodded, I guess I'd recommend the original PSX version, but if you're open for mods the PSP version with the original soundtrack mod is my version of choice. Theres also a relatively recent UI mod that pretty accurately retains the spirit of the original if not the literal exact UI assets.

Its sad because you know 100% the DEVS of E33 wouldn't agree with any of that garbage or the backhanded praise it was getting, they made the game because they LOVED JRPGs not because they hated them and wanted to make "the good one" or the subversive one like zoomers seemed to think. It was really frustrating seeing all that "its good because its about ADULTS instead of teens!"
Also funny when you actually play the rest of the game and the focus IS actually on the teen of the party
