It's a very tiny story (chase Sephiroth, then way later, get black materia) in a huge open game. Remake had a much more detailed story which is why it was able to spend so much time on its story.

I mean big story in terms of scale. The scope, maybe not so much. You cover a lot of ground, even if the overarching story doesn't necessarily progress that much.

Remake took 5 hours of content and stretched them into 40, all while basically staying in the same place the entire time. Remake had a lot of time to fill, and it did a good job of it.
