Final Fantasy 7 was a pretty solid story. Which ultimately is all almost all JRPGs are, stories to be told.
The issue isn't graphics updates, it's "this is really popular... We should change it." So many people say FF10 was the last real final fantasy, and I can't imagine why... it's not like they stopped their entire combat system and gameplay loop after that one, it's a mystery. But not enough to change those, no. Gotta change the story itself, too. It's a sequel! But also a remake! So both crowds are lost and generally bemused!
