Should A Video Game Remake Focus On The Old Or The New?

Only some games are ever remade, but should those remakes focus on representing all previous content or making something new? Persona 3 Reload has some fans split over this issue, as the game includes new scenes with Strega and extra hangout options with Social Links but cuts the female protagonist and content from The Answer. It begs the question of which direction development should take — if it's more satisfying to see a more polished version of something a fan already loves or to see change within a well-established franchise. It's not just a question of enjoyment but of preservation. For instance, The Answer is still stuck on the PS3 even though Persona 3 will technically have been remade twice within a span of two years, counting the early 2023 port of Persona 3 Portable and Persona 3 Reload in 2024.
