For a second time around? It's really hard to say. Like I said, the changes done to DQ7's mechanics are pretty fundamental, and they lowered the stats of all of the enemies.
Personally I went for the 3DS remake for my 2nd playthrough of DQ7 and I didn't bother finishing it. It is incredibly charming though. Just way too easy and unsatisfying to play. If you have no memories of the original then it is fine, it is still a hallmark game, but when spend your entire time thinking "wow they made this dungeon really easy", or "wow I remember this was so much harder in the original", It really took me out of the experience; and this isn't even mentioning about how they completely butchered the entire class system.
If someone could somehow make a "difficulty balance" mod for DQ7 on 3DS then that would change my opinion. I would feel much better about recommending it then, as the piss-easy difficulty is even more egregious to me than anything else, at least in terms of affecting actual enjoyment.
Simply doubling enemy HP would be a good start. The graphics really are charming though, and so much love and care went into the whole aesthetic experience of the remake that I do think it is worth playing at least once. Like I said, the issue of DQ7 is a tough one.
