IMO, a good "remake" should be something different from the original... because otherwise it's more of an enhanced port. When I see a movie remake, I don't want the same thing that the original was but shinier, because I already have the original (see Robocop).
I will admit disappointment in the lack of turn-based gameplay, though. Obviously a remake shouldn't completely abandon the original structure, and in games that includes core mechanics like RPG combat. What they've done here is make a Kingdom Hearts game set in the story of Final Fantasy.
On the other hand, I really like how they've gone to great lengths to make the world more immersive and engaging to explore.
