For RPGs, yeah, it's the story. For something like a platformer, where the story is almost irrelevant, a remake vs a sequel is going to be defined by something more core to the experience. Level and enemy design would be big ones for me. Like Simon Belmont kills Dracula is not a story that matters. Countless more story simple franchises have a ton of remakes if you're using story as the criteria. Is Sonic 2 a remake of Sonic the Hedgehog? Is Mega Man 2 a remake of Mega Man? Is Super Mario Bros 3 a remake of Super Mario Bros? It only doesn't sound absurd on its face because Castlevania eventually got a bit more story heavy over time and has a revolving door of main characters, but that higher plot standard doesn't retroactively apply to earlier titles. --- No problem!
