The original was better. 0's combat system is not designed around this game and as a remake it makes almost everything worse, worse bosses, more padding, lack of the gritty tone and dumb fanservice that ruins characters.
This game probably hampered Y6's development too which sucks.
The only saving grace is if you view this game as an expansion pack to 0 which its basically what it is, unfortunately people actually play this instead of Yakuza 1 and consider this one canon which is pretty annoying.
