>Is the remake worse somehow?
Pretty much in every way, yes. Combat changes for the worse, completely unbalanced due to them futzing with what they did have and you get even more broken than you ever were in the original, the Seal system is significantly grindier and worse than the Seal system, the character changes cause issues especially if you played the older games let alone how many of them do not fit the time period at all, the visuals are so much worse, the rework of the elements breaks combat due to any element now stunlocking enemies, etc. The new content even made it grindier than the original and gatekeeps you from certain content for longer.
Ishin Kiwami is objectively worse in every way to the original it's honestly astounding. I have an entire writeup if you're actually more interested but it's truly an awful remake/remaster mess.
