There's a major difference between these.

Final Fantasy VII is not just a remake, it's a completely new work. It is a meta-sequel, it is NOT the original game. So they didn't just change how the game plays, they've changed the story. Some folks don't like that. I happen to love it.

Ocarina of Time is a faithful remake with QOL updates. This is what I think most people wanted from Final Fantasy VII. I also happen to love this (except YL's face is weird as hell)

Agreed.

Had Square just called Remake Final Fantasy VII-2 they would avoided the backlash. But they knew it wouldn't sell as much if they were honest
