What’s the difference?

doing some searching, it sounds like it's 90% improvements (IE fixes, improved framerate, returning some music that was removed from the US version), additional cutscenes

There apparently were also some story changes... which can be disagreed upon... mainly all deaths were removed.

Though ignoring the differences in the versions, I think the main objections are the price. IE after the sale is discontinued, the long term is the $20 version is no longer for sale, with the note to buy the $50 version instead. (IE right now it's buy the cheap version on sale, and get it upgraded to the expensive one... but say someone decides to get the game in january, the only option will be the $50 game.

Haven't played it but in some google searches on it, the added cutscenes retcon away 2 deaths that normally happen in the plot.

This also states that this is the first main kiryu game with an English dub. But the very first game was dub only on the PS2, with Mark Hamill as Majima too

I am assuming this means they plan on packaging them together or remastering them (again, I guess) to try and sell them again?

Yesnt.
Existing owners, can upgrade their license at a cheaper price than regular to the new version

Which is funny because on steam currently Yakuza 0 is on for -45% and the sale says "Offer ends December 11"

The gog version remains available.

It's worth noting that Y0 was a beloved entry that frequently dipped below the $10 mark. The remaster adds a few minutes worth of (according to most people) unnecessary cutscenes, and charges full price for it. For many, the standard edition is not only cheaper, but also better.

I've gotten pretty much the entire Yakuza series through Humble Monthly. I've tried getting into it starting with Y0... Played a couple of hours... Then stopped...

I dunno... It just doesn't really seem to grow on me.

See when they do stuff like this why can't they just have a selector like they do with quake to select the old version
