When compared to OG FF7, the characters look too realistic (OG FF7 characters always looked anime-ish) - and certain characters like barett look "bro-ified" (trying to make them look extra "black" or extra "insert generic looking stereotypical bro character model here".
Remake there looks worse - at least in my opinion - compared to the more comic-y, anime-ish, original Final Fantasy 7 artstyle. FF7 never looked overly comic-y or anime-ish, though, but that's exactly why it probably was loved by westerners and japanese alike (FF7's artstyle found a sweetspot between anime and realistic), and that awesome visual style got lost in the Remake completely.
Basically everthing got lost. Core gameplay and visual artstyle. That's - in my book - the very definition of "soul vs soulless".
So yeah, everything I've seen from Final Fantasy 7 remake has been soulless so far. But that's not surprising, since it's a completely different game. It's a different game with a Final Fantasy 7 skin on.
