It’s not quite what you wanted, but as someone with a lot of FF7 nostalgia, I ended up playing Trails in the Sky, another JRPG from that era, much later in life, and felt a lot of that nostalgia sense; badass characters with sensitive moments and big sinister twists. They remade that game very well, and the sequel (a bit of a necessary follow-on/conclusion) is out later this year. While it does add some brief action-combat, it’s only meant to give you an edge going into the traditional turn-based system (and bosses give you no action-combat).
I’m really hoping for some fan mod of something down the line that converts all of these assets to a near perfect replica of the OG game just turn based.
Look forward to this one even if I miss the turn based system of the original.

All I ever wanted from a remake was the old system with shiny graphics and the fixed mag def bug.
But noooo they had to go and fuck with it.
