Exploring the Boundless Opportunities
In Premium Adventure mode, players can delve deeper into the game's intricacies by unlocking and completing substories, enhancing the stats of Kasuga and Kiryu, tackling in-game tasks, and striving for Trophies. Unlike the main storyline, this mode offers a non-canon extension where player actions and narrative outcomes exist independently of each other.
Unveiling The Big Swell and Endgame Dungeons
Dive into the depths of adventure with Premium Adventure mode, which seamlessly continues from where the primary playthrough left off. Players retain all their progress, ensuring a smooth transition into new challenges. Additionally, access The Big Swell, an exclusive endgame dungeon found in the 'Master Vacation Bundle' DLC, which also includes New Game+ mode.
Navigating the Narrative Landscape
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth weaves a tale across fourteen chapters, each focusing on the trials of protagonists Kiryu Kazuma in Japan and Kasuga Ichiban in Hawaii. Initially, travel between these locations is restricted, only becoming possible after completing the game. This limitation adds depth to the gameplay, requiring players to strategize their tasks accordingly.
Mastering Protagonist Switching
To seamlessly switch between Kiryu and Kasuga in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, a familiar system resembling Yakuza 0's protagonist switch is employed. By visiting specific locations and interacting with designated objects, players can effortlessly transition between Yokohama and Kamurocho as Kiryu and Honolulu as Kasuga.
Unlocking the Path to Isezaki Ijincho and Kamurocho
For Kasuga to journey to Isezaki Ijincho and Kamurocho, a visit to Revolve Bar in Hawaii is essential. By accessing the hideout room and interacting with a phone, the option to 'Change protagonist' emerges, allowing the switch to Kiryu in Japan. Kiryu can then traverse between the two locations using the taxi system.
Embarking on the Hawaii Adventure
To set foot in Hawaii, Kiryu must venture to Isezaki Ijincho and locate Survive Bar. Ascending to the hideout room and interacting with a door initiates the 'Change protagonist' feature, granting control back to Kasuga in Hawaii. Kasuga's journey is limited to the scenic locations within the Hawaiian backdrop.
Strategic Party Configurations and Gear Management
Players must remain vigilant in managing their party configurations and gear as they switch between Kiryu and Kasuga. Each protagonist retains their set equipment and party members, necessitating adjustments based on the current gameplay location. The survival of the leading protagonist is crucial for progress, as a defeat leads to a Game Over.
Ensuring Continuity in Gameplay
While players can include both Kasuga and Kiryu in their party, the primary protagonist's role is location-dependent. Kiryu leads the way in Yokohama, while Kasuga takes charge in Hawaii. A defeat of the leading protagonist results in a Game Over, emphasizing the importance of strategic gameplay and party composition.
