Yakuza: Like a Dragon has gone full-on RPG, and that means introducing classic RPG elements like a character class system. These classes are called “jobs” (a la Final Fantasy) and offer the chance for characters to learn new skills, get a boost to stats, and generally break out of their default roles. While it’s possible to finish the game without changing jobs, exploring the system to its fullest will make your adventure a lot more satisfying, and gets you a few important skills that carry over between jobs. So which jobs are worth using, and which careers are best left ignored? Read on to learn all about your job options.

What is the Job System?

Kasuga and company will be able to learn and use different combat skills from changing their jobs. Jobs can be changed starting in mid-chapter 5 at Hello Work. Talk to Ririka and she will give you a list of available jobs for each character. Not all jobs will be available immediately--some will require characters to be at certain experience and bond levels to be selectable. In Kasuga’s case, some jobs will require both a certain experience level and his various attributes to be at certain levels.
