I would like to mention that there are exceptions. I'm playing the demo for Star Ocean: Second Story Remake, and I have to say that, so far, I am really enjoying it. A big reason is because of their idea to take the beautiful pre-rendered environments from the original PS1 title, and crafted 3D environments which do such a great job of preserving that look and feel (the original game feels kind of like a storybook, visually). Most of the changes, thus far, have been QoL updates (which I dig), but it is a remake which doesn't radically re-imagine the core concepts or feel the need to turn it into an entirely new and different experience which merely hearkens back to the original.
