We always have to go through this, no! Bro remake and reimagine aren't the same. Remastering a game is just taking the original source and enhancing the visuals and audio. Or using the original source code and building on top of it. Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is literally a remaster, it's the same source code with new models built on top. Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core Reunion is a Remaster, it's the exact PSP game with new models, textures, Better Resolution, but they kept the same CGI cut scenes from the PSP. Remaking is rebuilding the same game from the ground up with new source code, models, etc. They also add quality of life and extras to make it feel fresh. It doesn't stray far away from the original source it just expands on what already exist and respects it. Trials of Mana for the switch is a remake and it's build from the ground up, and 3D instead of 2D like the original SNES. Reimagine is rebuilding the original source and taking it in a completely new direction. If it's story then it's told under completely different context than the original, character personalities are altered to fit the new direction etc. it takes what's familiar and does its own thing. Dragon Quest VII Reimagined that released recently isn't a remake, it's a REIMAGINED. Square knew not to call it a Remake like they did FF7.
