So the gimmick in the 7 remakes is that they aren't a remake at all, they are a weird alternate reality spin-off thing that revisits the same characters and locations. I mean, mild spoilers for a four year old game you haven't played at least partially because you didn't know this.
The way they presented this was very weird and they tried to split the difference between still saying it's all a remake but then hinting at it not being a remake sometimes slightly.
My biggest problem with these is that combat feels laggy and weird and I would much prefer a proper turn based RPG in the first place, but seeing the comments here is a bit of an eye opener about how it was all perceived.
I bought this expecting an updated ff7 with better graphics and quality of life improvements. I ended up with a shitty dragons age clone, so I refunded it immediately. Not even going to buy it again if it's on sale.
