My apologies I forgot to make some changes, I would like to say SMT VV would technically fall into the Expansion category because it’s not really a remake but an expansion on the original game with overhauls like Battles, New 3D Models, new music, Items etc that it is a new game but has the base of the original within it much like Persona 4 Golden, or P5 Royals, etc etc. Also I would also like to say maybe it can be called an “Expansion” or “Uplift” that can be something between a Remake and a Remaster.

I think it would be easier media wise to call it an Expansion. This is because even though it is technically a new game, it expands on the base of the original so it’s not a remaster or a remake. It overhauls visuals, controls, UI, New Models, adds new music, QOL’s and various new things. A Remaster would mean that you redid it for HD with some slight tweaks and QOL additions, with some new things like Xenoblade Chronicles 1 Definitive Edition nothing more nothing less. a Remake is a bottom up recreation of the original that fits in a more definitive edition sort of like RE2R, or deviates enough to be it’s own thing like FF7R and SMT VV. I also think Lollipop RePOP can be added in the expansion category as well because yes even though the MC is remodeled, they added outfits, changed the UI, added movesets, fixed QOL issues and basically expanded upon the original game to breathe life into it.
