I actually don't think it looks bad. Aside from the character models which don't look really good, it looks decent. Final Fantasy 4 Complete Collection did the same thing, and while character models also looked bad, the game had a lot of detail put into it.
Aside from the character models though, one thing I really do take notice of is the mountains in the back with Narshe alongside them. It's the same image, but to me it looks a bit blurry in the remake. That background just looks really bad.
However everything else I think looks good. the picture of the empire castle looks exactly the same just higher quality. The stick in the snow looks higher quality with light textures on it, the snow looks higher quality also with light textures. I mean they could put more detail in the textures.
Doesn't look horrible to me though. It just doesn't look as good.
