Indeed. As per the nature of being a remaster and not a remake, some aspects like assets can be touched up or remade, without having to make the whole thing from scratch. Character faces and textures being such things.

That's where you're wrong my dude, cause the article said (and if we believe the translation is correct) said some parts could not be remade. That means that the rest was. That is a huge difference.

What percentage of the project do you think amounts to “the rest”?

I will take the example of the characters’ polygonal models. They are the same as in the original, except for the hands and faces. This is made obvious right away when you watch any footage that compares both versions. 

The director said that they had constraints due to the project being a remaster. So for me, the case is closed.
