Yeah... ok well if you can copy and paste plenty of sources that call it a remaster, then do that.  In fact, you should be able to produce more than I did, since you said the majority call it a remaster.  So if you think that actually helps your case, do it. 

Why is it arbitrary to differentiate on the basis of the amount of work put in?  It seems to me perfectly to legitimate to differentiate a game like FF7 Switch/PC where very little work was put in, and a game like Xenoblade where a lot of work is put in.  Especially as the end product in the case of Xenoblade is much more removed from the initial product than FF7, FF8, or Okami HD are.  There's probably a reason this release is being treated much different than any of those were.  

I've never heard of a sculpture being either remade or remastered, so that example is not apt.  

Ok, because you haven't heard of something, it can't be apt. Wow.

It's not apt because we're talking about how we use the terms remake and remaster, and as far as I'm aware they have never been used in that context.  Feel free to also reply to the actual substantial points that you're avoiding like the plague.
