From PSU: Final Fantasy VII Remake stole the show at E3 2019. But, given everything we've seen to date, would "re-imagining" be a better description? We think so.
Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?
Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Rise of the ronin sold twice as much as Dragons Dogma 2 this week...but no articles about that. It's only news if a PS exclusive is being outsold.
It's not really a re-imagining though. If it were re-imagined, it could be in a completely different setting/world. As it stands, it's very close to the original. It's a Remake with a lot of extra content. We see plenty of scenes that are 1:1 compared to the original version. Just because they're fleshing it out, doesn't mean it's a different game. It just means it's getting more for us to see and do.
As a side note, I hope that leak about Red XIII's fellow experiments (I think they were Cobalt XIV and Indigo XV) are true. That sounded really cool! Plus it was part of the leak that mentioned having materia showing up in weapons/armlets which did in fact prove to be true from the E3 videos.
