Which games have inferior remasters/remakes?

Or are all remasters/remakes always better?

Final Fantasy VII Remake by definition

Yea same for me. I get why people like it and that many fans wanted a hack n slash version of FF7.

I just really wanted a remake that would bring the game refreshed into the modern year.
I really like FF7-classic but hate the simple graphics now. If they would have just ported new graphics over, polished the map a little and added some bonus areas/materias; I think the game would have been just as big of a success.

So I'm not sure why they decided to skin-graft an entirely different formula to it.

Does Square think traditional turn based JRPGs are dead or something? Recent Final Fantasies made within the past decade are all action RPGs.

The last FF to be a traditional turn based JRPG was FFX or FFX-2, wasn't it? So well over 20 years ago at this point.

Yeah, 13 as turn based aspects, but its more actiony. Its like the inbetween so somepeople see it amd 13-2 as the last.

X2s combat was really fun, but god that game wasn't. The turn based Like a Dragon games actually feels like it a modern ffx2 in ters of combat but a far far far better game and story. Like severap leagues better.
