I think in the past I would have firmly been in the remaster category, but as time goes by and I've seen minor remakes come and go, I finally have fallen into the camp that prefers when a game takes the chance to do something different and actually change up more than just the visuals/audio. Granted, you sometimes wind up with train wrecks like the Lufia 2 remake that is trying way too hard to appeal to the kids and ultimately forgets the core of what made the game so great, but I honestly feel a minor graphical upgrade does no real service to the game either.

The DS remakes of III and IV are games that I felt didn't go far enough honestly. I would have loved to see the devs really change the dungeons around and embrace the 3D graphical changes, even just doing a PS1 era style re-imagining of some of those dungeons would have been interesting. It's the one reason why I like the fact Squenix is planning on really changing VII around for the Remake instead of just giving it a facelift, I mean some of the design has not aged well and some places never fully embraced their potential either.

Overall, a serious change up doesn't really bother me cause if worse comes to worse, I can always retread back to the original.
