I ran through this definitive edition in about a third of the time compared to my first playthrough, which has readily prepared me for my third (and maybe final) pain mode playthrough. The new additional content is mostly just there to add more to the characters and world, which I appreciated. The quality of life improvements is also very welcome, with the amazing psychedelic backgrounds of battles paired with the fine-tuning of the visuals in general. The original and this version aren't honestly too different, so id recommends playing both of them as they're both masterpieces in every way.
