Some RPGs – which is basically what Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is – let you choose your class, and you’re stuck with it. Others let you multiclass or even respec to get an all-new class. Infinite Wealth is different in that it initially assigns you your class, and during Chapter 1, changes them for you, with Ichiban ending up as a “Hero.” All the other characters have default classes, referred to as “jobs.”

You do get to change your job, but that doesn’t happen until Chapter 5, which is likely to be a good ten hours or so into the game, maybe more. Partway through that chapter, the main questline will take you to Alo-Happy Tours in Waikiki, where you can unlock the Aquanaut job.

From then on, you can visit any Alo-Happy locations in Hawaii (and Yokohama when you get to return there) to change your job. Use a changing room in any location, and you can change jobs for Ichiban and his crew. Simple, right?

Well, not quite because there’s a snag, other than the game making you wait till Chapter 5. You have to unlock the jobs at Alo-Happy first. This requires two things – cash and a personality level that meets that job’s requirements. For example, to get the Desperado job, you need level 5 style. Also, some jobs can only be used by certain characters. You can have as many jobs unlocked as you want, but you’ll still have to head back to Alo-Happy to change each character’s job.

That’s how to change jobs in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
