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.

"I know you are but what am I" is a tacit admission you can't overcome a point.

You can pretend its universal if it makes you feel better, but you and I both know that whenever this remake comes out, it's going to sell many millions of copies.

And we both know - though you are about to deny it - that you will be among the throng getting it day one.
