Creating 1:1 remake goes against the core message of the original story, and I think they understand this perfectly well. The very thematic nature of VII dictates that the remake trilogy can only remain itself, preserve its integrity and continue the legacy of its predecessor (VII) by becoming autonomous and separate from that very predecessor. Just like Cloud can't be pure copy of Zack, the trilogy's story can't be pure copy of VII OG.
VII has always taught that the more constructive alternative to replication/mindless copying is to recognise your own individuality and to carry in your heart the memory/legacy of departed friends, trying to embody their ideals in your own way. Just as Aerith and Zack's consciousnesses is always in Cloud's heart as a fond memory and source of inspiration, so OG VII lives ‘inside’ the VII trilogy as a legacy and endless source of inspiration, in the form of a series of canonical events and the thematic core of the entire story.
There is a specific reason why Jenova has the ability to copy other organisms and its cells. I suggest we think about this reason in the context of the story of VII as a whole and in the context of VIIR existence.
