SEGA has highlighted the social features for Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, giving a taste of substories as well as the game’s bond systems.
Substories will work the same way they always have in Like A Dragon games, with SEGA giving a taste of two such adventures:
Close Encounters of the Bird Kind?
Kasuga encounters a girl who swears up and down that her beloved pet chicken has been taken away by a UFO. Everyone she’s told, including the police, has brushed it off as her eyes playing tricks on her, but Kasuga sees her desperation and agrees to assist her in a UFO search. As he explores a certain park rumored to be a hotspot for UFO sightings, he witnesses a cow floating up toward a mysterious light…
Home to Roost
Kasuga takes a nap on a Hawaiian beach. But when he wakes, his head feels heavy. He hurries over to a shop window to examine himself, only to find that a baby bird has taken up residence atop his head.
Substories will be tied to the game’s personality system, being able to raise Kiryu and Ichiban’s personality scores.
This system will be important for minigames like Dondoko Island as well as unlocking new jobs for your characters.
Just like Yakuza: Like A Dragon the game will feature a bond system, where you can get closer to your characters via Drink Links, Walk And Talks as well as Table Talk, which are all special events you can trigger.
In return, Ichiban will be able to do powerful tag team attacks, meanwhile Kiryu will be able to increase the amount of time he can spend in Dragon’s Resurgence.
