He has already answered you. It's a marketing move. Crash fans would have badly overreacted if the game was called Crash Bandicoot Trilogy Remake, because "Oh no they're ruining my favourite game!". By calling it a remaster people would have understood that the game was not ruining the original one. But this is something that has already been written, you have basically just ignored it and prentended he has no arguments. Let's talk about Panzer Dragoon Remake: it should be easy for you to look on youtube and see original game walkthrough/gameplay, then look at the "remake" footage, developer called it a Remake but it's clearly not. Now let me say something: FFVII is a Remake but in a different way than Xenoblade Chronicles Defintive Edition is or Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy, Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled or Spyro Reignited Trilogy. I'd like to call those game as "1:1 Remake" to separate remakes like FFVII Remake or RE2/RE3 Remake from those remakes that are made from scratch but they're basically the same as the original ones

Anyway... I took a looked at a comparison between the original Panzer Dragoon and the Remake:

And while there is certainly a lot in common between the two, there's clearly a certain degree of liberty that was taken in the remake. It's not about the graphics: the way the cinematics are shoted, the way the levels are designed and how the movement and logic of the game works is definetely not a 1:1 copy like a remaster would be. It's clearly a new take on Panzer Dragon. Much like other remakes like Metroid Zero Mission... is the same, yet a different thing.

Now let's take a look at a comparison between XC (Wii) and XC DE:

1) We inmediately can see the difference between this and Panzer Dragoon. 2) This is clear as day, a 100% carbon copy of the original Xenoblade Chronicles. They just changed the textures for high quality ones and throw in there a new lightning solution. But it has not been recreated in any way or form, nor it does anything different from the original. Because it is a remaster.

3) There is no such thing as "1:1 remakes". A remake in any kind of media product (like a movie or a song) implies a certain degree of departure from the original source. Which Xenoblade Definitive Edition does not have.

1) No, Panzer Dragoon Remake is a remake like Xenoblade DE is, so or we called both remastered or we called both remakes

2) I can assure you that is not possible with same old engine, trust me, you underestimate the improvements made. Just because it's the same it doesn't mean it's not recreated from scratch, they could have recreated from 0 the exact same model (which I'm sure they did), a change of textures is not so remarkable and notable, again, trust me. They're different models and you can see this from the new trailer

3) Yes they exists, A remake is not only as you stated, but also that
