I'm a huge fan of FF7, and I did like Remake somewhat. I thought the change in the combat system was great. What I didn't like is how it completely butchered the original story. If you've only played Remake, then there will definitely be parts of the story that are good, but what you probably don't realize is that all of the good parts come from the original game, and the original game has about 5 times the amount of story content that Remake had.
As for what FF game to play next, the best ones are 4, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 12. If the old school graphics bother you, then you can skip to 10. Both FF10 and FF12 have modern versions of the game on PS4, XB1 and Switch. Final Fantasy was really at its peak during the SNES, PS1 and PS2 eras though. Lots of long time fans, like myself, have kind have gotten disappointed with the games from 13 and later.
