I don't like remasters, especially those which are usually just re-release with hi-res textures. They are charging like $30 and above for hi-res texture, and some of them has unstable framerates. At certain point of time, using emulator yields better graphics & performance than some of those remasters, especially for PS1/PS2 games.

On the other hand, I actually like remakes way more.

First of all FF7Rshouldn't be considered as remake, it should be considered as its own spinoff / sequel

Remake not only exploits that nostalgia, but also tend to make game plays better with added QoL functions, sometimes with new gameplay mechanics. Some of the remakes that I really like:

  • Yakuza 1+2 Kiwami
  • Crisis Core
  • Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
  • Resident Evil 1+2 (have not played 3+4 remakes yet)
  • Live a Live
  • Mass Effect Trilogy (thankfully it's not just a hi-res port)

Remake is great when there's a significant technology and time gaps between the games, which is why TLOU remakes drew some ires.
