The weird thing about these remakes is that they keep cutting and remixing content from the originals with mixed results. Resident Evil 3 was a good example as it's almost a whole new vision for the game (I do acknowledge this came with a lot of shortcomings).

When I think about what Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth has done, I understand that it's a sequel that turns the remake genre on its head. I think this is a more interesting way of approaching it.

When people debate whether it's good or bad is almost a moot point. If someone "remade" Devil May Cry and it was a top down turn based RPG like FF tactics, I wouldn't care as long as it's good. ( I didn't hate D.M.C. and it's weirdly 2000cool aesthetics)

I may or may not buy the new one, I just want the option to buy the old one too.
