Yes but not really. FFVII is well regarded for sure but it didn't stop people from not liking the Compilation due to the shitty writing and subpar gameplay in them. Then comes Remake that seems to do a lot of things right. For me, I don't have nostalgic connection with FFVII (I played it first during the pre-release of Remake) and Rebirth is hitting all the right notes for me as an RPG.

That can be true too.
Also the remakes seem to be hitting typical JRPG notes that XVI actively avoided. Weird random humor, goofy minigames, anime dialogue complete with excessive grunts.

XVI was well received overall despite lout shit flingers online and by the time the next actual new FF game rolls around a lot of its haters will suddenly point to it as what "FF should be" like people do with literally every game in this series for some reason. This despite almost every creator of a Final Fantasy game saying the point of the series is that they can all be different.
