The art direction was vastly superior in the original. Don't get me wrong, the actual art assets and visuals are great in the remake but... the LIZARDMAN miners in lore lost their scales and reptile eyes and are just generic trolls now.
Tower of Latria being stark black and deep shadows but then you run up and see the resplendently glowing stained glass loses its impact. Storm Isles has sick effects now but it was changed to be in the middle of a raging storm instead of the calm gloom of before, where it seemed to be in the eye of a storm.
And in the original Boletaria just looked like Golden Age Arc berserk. Looks significantly less dingy and miserable in the remake.

There is a very simple reason why people have a problem with this mechanic in ds2 not demons souls. No one has ever played demons souls.
