How old does a game need to be to warrant a remake?

It needs to be at least 20 years old, and it needs to stay as true to the original as possible.

Do you dislike Final Fantasy VII Remake? 

I both love it and hate it.  I love that I can revisit the world and the characters with updated graphics and voice acting.  However, they really did butcher the story.  They also added a bunch of other content that is a lot worse.  It's both really fun and really disappointing at the same time.

I am kind of jealous of Xenoblade Chronicles fans.  They updated the original game in 2020 just like FF7.  They improved the visuals, added some extra content and kept everything else the same.  That is exactly the treatment that they should have given FF7.  They only made a small portion of the original game in the remake, because they wanted the most cutting edge graphics possible.  Screw that.  I would have been happy with Xenoblade Chronicles (Switch) or DQ11 level of graphics.  Both of those games are huge and look great to me.
