Like Yakuza 3 and 4, 5 is also a remaster part of the "REMASTER COLLECTION", Brings in an amazing start to the story with an amazing climax, with a sort of halfassed final boss that still is an a amazing fight. The final boss is amazing in terms of boss, gameplay, atmosphere and music, though even the final boss at the start of the cutscene is like, "To be honest I don't know why I'm here." But there is an explanation that does make sense. The real antagonist the person throughout the game, however the reason for why the final boss is another character makes sense both logically in terms of gameplay, and story wise. Fun new gameplay mechanics that make the game feel 4 more games with each of the 5 main characters having their own substories and minigames, and game game.

Kiryu: Taxi Racing
Saejima: Hunting
Haruka: Dancing
Shinada: Baseball
(Sadly Akiyama doesn't get his own fun mode but still has great substories).

Characters are really likable, gameplay is very fun for all 5 characters however they distinctly play differently that makes it very fun. However of 5, only 1 is dance/music only, that being Haruka, Haruka does not have combat she has idol work, dancing, and singing competitions, it's very fun. Has so much it's amazing. Just sort of a halfassed final boss inclusion that is still an amazing fight and leads to an emotionally amazing ending.
