When Do You Unlock Jobs in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth's job system won't unlock until you hit a specific chapter.

By Ricky Frech

One of the standout features in Yakuza: Like a Dragon was the job system. Using it, players could switch their party members into different ridiculous professions, giving them access to all kinds of new abilities and attacks. Fortunately, the system returns in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and expands on it with several new jobs. However, the mechanic isn't unlocked out of the gate. You'll need to progress through several hours of main story quests before unlocking the feature, so if you want to know exactly when the job system unlocks in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, you'll find that information below.

You will unlock the job system in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth during Chapter 5. During that chapter, you'll get a Substory called "Let's Get Alo-Happy" where you'll learn about the job system and be able to start unlocking new jobs. That means you'll need to work through quite a chunk of the story before it opens up. Fortunately, Infinite Wealth's starting jobs give you a good base to build from, so you're not being left out to dry. It's also worth noting that most of the side content won't have opened up by that point, so it's unlikely you'll really need the new jobs before then anyway.

That said, it is a bit of a strange decision from developer RGG Studio to hold the mechanic back for so long. After all, protagonist Ichiban Kasuga is very familiar with jobs from the last game, so locking them behind several hours of the story doesn't make a ton of sense. Fortunately, when it does open up, you'll be able to quickly pick up most of the jobs and start building the team of your dreams.
