Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
JRPG
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth gives its turn-based battles a stronger sense of position: moving near an ally or lining up a collision can matter as much as the skill you choose. Explore the side activities at your own pace because the base trophy route remains available in Premium Adventure. Keep one edition distinction clear from the start: NG+ and Hard/Legend are Master Vacation Bundle features, not an automatic reward in the standard game.
QUICK ANSWER
Is New Game Plus included with the standard game?
No. NG+ is part of the paid Master Vacation Bundle. Standard-game owners still have Premium Adventure for base side-content cleanup.
Compare post-story cleanup options →SPOILER-LIGHT PLANNING
Plan a flexible first run without buying a replay
The base game has a long story and substantial optional modes. Neither an early perfect checklist nor the NG+ add-on is necessary for its platinum.
Use the movement radius
Before choosing an attack, look for a closer target, an ally combo, an object or a collision. Positioning provides options beyond selecting the highest damage skill.
Build bonds and inherited coverage
Party relationships expand useful combat options. Review inherited skills after changing jobs so a new class does not remove your only reliable heal or element.
Distinguish finale commitment from permanent loss
Story warnings precede long sequences, so save and prepare both lineups. Premium Adventure later restores access for unfinished base activities.
Separate base and DLC completion
Base platinum does not need a Legend run. The Master Vacation list has its own NG+ and difficulty requirements, extra dungeon and additional time commitment.

QUICK ANSWERS
Before you start
PLAYTHROUGH PLAN
Before You Start checklist
Set up your save plan
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth supports manual saving. Check slot and location limits first, then preserve a milestone save where the game permits it; not every title supports rotating backups.
Protect the completion route
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth allows a forgiving standard cleanup route, but tracking optional progress as you go still reduces endgame backtracking.
Know the last safe checkpoint
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth has a point of no return. Keep a separate save and clear priority side content when the game signals a final commitment.
Choose difficulty deliberately
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth's difficulty requirements vary by version or challenge. Check the exact list for your platform before committing.
Budget 70–100h base platinum; Master Vacation adds ~20–25h (estimate)
Use Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth's 70–100h base platinum; Master Vacation adds ~20–25h (estimate) estimate as a planning range, not a promise. Exploration, difficulty and optional goals can move the total substantially.
Spoiler-free warning
Base trophies and side stories can be cleaned up in Premium Adventure. NG+ and Hard/Legend are paid Master Vacation Bundle features, not standard base-game unlocks. The base platinum does not require that DLC; its separate awards include a Legend NG+ clear. Save before each long finale commitment.
BEGINNER GUIDE
10 things I wish I knew before starting
The useful systems, early mistakes and easily missed details worth understanding before you commit dozens of hours.
Position before choosing an attack
Move within the character's permitted radius before committing. Proximity, a nearby ally, an environmental weapon or a better knockback line can improve an otherwise ordinary turn.
Aim knockback deliberately
Look for walls, hazards and additional enemies behind the target. The direction of an attack can create useful collisions rather than merely pushing one opponent away.
Build bonds while exploring
Trigger available party conversations and return for Drink Links as bond progress allows. Better relationships support cooperative attacks and expand practical party-building options.
Review inherited skills after job changes
Use an Alo-Happy Room to update skill inheritance when switching jobs. Bond-based slots let you keep selected healing or elemental tools without keeping their original class equipped.
Read map danger before wandering
Honolulu's districts are not all balanced for the opening party. If nearby groups are far stronger, return later instead of spending your early savings on repeated failures.
Carry coverage across both parties
Build useful healing and elemental options for each active lineup. Gear and skills that worked for one protagonist's group do not automatically solve the other's encounters.
Let optional modes set their own pace
Sujimon battles and Dondoko Island are substantial side activities, not tiny mandatory errands. Explore them when you want a break; the base cleanup route does not require rushing them.
Use Smackdown for trivial encounters
When the game offers Smackdown against much weaker enemies, it saves repetitive combat. Its reduced experience makes it a convenience tool, not a substitute for proper level training.
Keep finale preparation files
Create manual saves before the final story commitments and check each party's equipment and supplies. Premium Adventure allows side-content cleanup, but does not shorten an unprepared finale.
Check ownership before planning NG+
NG+ and its harder settings belong to the Master Vacation Bundle. You can pursue the base platinum through Premium Adventure without buying that pack or its separate dungeon.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth FAQs
Can I finish substories after the story?
Yes. Premium Adventure supports unfinished base side content, including the major optional modes. You do not need to complete every activity before the finale.
Does the standard game include Hard or Legend?
No. Those settings are associated with the paid Master Vacation NG+ feature. The base first-playthrough trophy route has no difficulty selection requirement.
Is Master Vacation required for platinum?
No. Its achievements or trophies are a separate completion group. The standard game's platinum can be earned without buying NG+ or the Big Swell.
How does job skill inheritance work?
At an Alo-Happy Room, select learned skills for the available inheritance slots. Bond progress affects those slots, so relationships support class flexibility.
Should I play Yakuza: Like a Dragon first?
It is strongly useful background for Ichiban and the returning cast. Infinite Wealth is a sequel, and its major emotional beats assume familiarity with earlier stories.
