As for how exactly is this new remaster different than the original release, it is not just a visual upgrade but Square Enix has reportedly reworked everything to release this on modern platforms. They had lost the source code for the original Final Fantasy so there is a lot more effort in this remaster.
Comparison images of the newly released screenshots with the original game show how much of an upgrade has been made for this remaster. Character models are also retouched making them look closer to their original artwork.
