Sorry, it's pretty universal that people want remakes to remain at LEAST in the same genre as the original game, and will not even acknowledge it's existence otherwise.  Who asks for a remake when they didn't even like the TYPE of game that the original was?

Both the original and the remakes will be JRPGs. 

And no, it's not "pretty universal".  No matter how badly you want it to be otherwise.  

If you want the original, play the original. But Final Fantasy has always been about trying new things and changing core aspects of the game.  It was hopelessly naive to think that VIIR would be any different.  If you are unable to move past 1997, that's your problem, not Square's. 

The term "JRPG" is meaningless.  That is not the type of game.  If you think otherwise, I DARE you to explain what TYPE of game a JRPG is.  It cannot be done, because it depends on the genre (type of game).  And yes, it's pretty universal, no matter how badly you want it to be otherwise.

Your last statement is as asinine as asinine gets.
