The static backgrounds seem nearly untouched

They did fix the awful framerate during battles.

Unfortunately, it's a weird type of remaster, not a remake. Know going in that the characters are PS1 polygon models which scale up with the remaster's resolution, but the pre-rendered backgrounds weren't re-made from the original or newly made drawings. Instead, the backgrounds were made to look less pixelated by blurring the edges of the pixels, but that just makes them look soft and a bit smeared, standing in sharp contrast to the polygon models which are no longer blocky but so high-res that they stand out separate from the background.
If you can get past the low effort remaster, and stop comparing it to the 16-bit first entry into the series, you'll find a story that is actually quite interesting, beautiful color direction and style, amazing music, and overall a game worth playing either remastered or original.
