Why the Final Fantasy 7 Remakes Don't Work as Remakes

The Final Fantasy 7 Remake Trilogy is about to be completed, with the upcoming release of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation putting a capstone on this massive, ambitious project to reimagine the 1997 classic. The games aren't bad by any means, and they've been pretty successful to boot, yet I still feel pretty unsatisfied with them as remakes. It may not be all that significant in the grand scheme of things, but I still feel like it's worth talking about.
