What that trailer shows is not even close to the point blank shot many people will get after playing the game. The trailer shows some new stuff and changes from the original, yes. But it doesn't imply that the story is gonna be rebooted and the original FF VII plot is gonna be discarded. 

What the trailer shows is what many remakes do. Samus Returns is a completely different game than Metroid II: Return of Samus. Even the ending has some major changes. And you can see some of it in the trailers. But those changes only add to the original story. Samus Returns, despite the new stuff, is still Metroid II. Not like FF VII Remake, in which said additions and changes actually make the original story irrelevant, because instead of adding up, it replaces it.

Nothing in the trailer confirms something like that happening. It teases some new stuff going on, but how that will actually play out is impossible to know. Until you play the game.

I understand some people think the changes are too extreme, but I think they should look past that. Even without changes I think my opinion won't change. I'm actually more interested in where SE is going with part 2 now because of it.

You still don't get it. It's not about the changes. It's about selling a remake, playing with people feelings about reviving the story of one of their favourite games ever... when you're throwing all of that through the window and doing a reboot. And YES, IT'S A REBOOT. The original story is no more. They, quite literally, killed the ties with the original story. It's not like the remake of KH Chain of Memories where certain guy dies burned alive instead of just backstabed like in the original GBA game, but then everything proceeds as normal. No, this is like making a remake of A New Hope and suddenly making Obi Wan kill Darth Vader on the Death Star. That's not a remake: that's a reboot. You are restarting the original curse of history. Remakes don't do that.
