If you want nostalgia for a remake of a game that came out close to the year 2000, I would instead recommend Trails in the Sky First Chapter. Unlike the dumb time travel ghost shenanigans, it’s actually a remake of an old JRPG. It tunes up battle mechanics, but also respects what worked in the first game.

I have only played the first chapter - old (out of 3, I believe)
Was also a very engaging game, had a very coming of age theme to it with a combat system that seemed simple but starts to show its depth once abilities get unlocked and you start to chain it.
I liked how the relationships felt more grounded and the story’s build up had, for me, more intrigue and mystery than most jrpgs
Only complaint, more like criticism, is it is a nightmare for people that feel the need to complete everything or realise that the npcs have different dialogues over time and feel compelled to make sure that everything is done before moving on. That can be a positive or negative depending on player though.
Despite the criticism, it did feel good to know I deserved and worked for the ending I got, even though I found out after I missed a few things
