All Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth jobs and how to unlock
There are a total of 27 jobs in Like a Dragon 8. 12 are character-specific jobs, nine male-exclusive jobs, and six female-exclusive jobs. The majority will be unlocked in Chapter 5 when you get access to Alo-Happy Tours, but some have specific requirements.
First, let's see the character-exclusive jobs and how to get them.
Unique jobs
These are each of the playable character's starting jobs with the only distinction being the game's protagonist, Ichiban Kasuga, who has a total of three exclusive jobs.
Ichiban Kasuga
As we've mentioned, Ichiban has access to three exclusive jobs:
- Freelancer: Focuses on physical damage using pro wrestling moves. This is his starting job
- Hero: Ichiban's signature job, being the most balanced of all, features good damage skills as well as several support spells that grant out HP and other buffs. You'll unlock it during Chapter 1
- Sujimancer: You can become essentially a Pokemon trainer with this job, extremely weak in terms of physical damage but you have the ability to use Sujimon to power up your magic attacks. It gets unlocked after you beat the first member of the Discreet Four. Check our guide for more details
