I think the bold is the problem. People asked for a REMAKE, Square advertised a REMAKE. We are getting a reimagining with major story and gameplay changes instead. That is total bs, and not what was wanted or what was promised.
You still really don't know in what way, shape, or form these changes should be implemented. At least wait until we get to see a proper gameplay trailer.
Let me put it plainly.

I really want the original battle mechanics back. However, if they change the combat and everything else is great, I can deal with it. I'll give the game a shot.

On the other hand, if I even catch a 2 second glimpse of Genesis; I will break my disc in half. I will also never purchase another Square Enix game ever again. >_>
I'm confident we'll know exactly how much they've ruined this masterpiece long before launch, and I simply won't buy it.

We'll probably see Genesis in one of the later trailers, and we'll undoubtedly get to see the new battle system that involves even less player input than that of their recent games well before release as well.
