But on the other hand, I don't want to take away from people's fun.

Remakes are always okay because they're completely new games based on old ones. It's like a theater group doing a play their own way.

Where this conversation gets confused is in the difference between remake/remaster

Additionally FF7 should have been called a sequel because it's a completely different game. No spoilers but it's a different game and plot.

oh what a good way to put it, I never thought of it in such a manner.

Yeah? I thought it was more of a retelling of the same story (FF7r), from what I was told. Is it actually stuff that takes place after the events of FF7?

Also it extends the timeline of events during the Midgar chapter such that its playtime is like 5x longer and characters are fleshed out that were at best ancillary in the original.
