The biggest change is the visual redesign, which uses a brighter color palette and slightly more blended sprite designs to approximate how the original games would have looked on a CRT (along with miscellaneous small changes, such as a FF6 party member being redone to look closer to the concept art). They also all have new, optional soundtracks. Most notable is FF3, which is a full update of the Famicom version and doesn't have any similar releases. The old DS 3D remake had different characters and a light story too, so the FF3 Pixel Remaster also has a completely new script for Western audiences.

I'll emphasize what was brought up already--none of these have any content added in the various ports over the years. Extra dungeons, job classes, FF4's late-game party change, all that isn't here.
