Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Special Job Set (DLC)

Let's be straight about what this is: the Special Job Set is a pair of job classes that Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio originally held back as a pre-order incentive, now available to anyone who missed launch day. It adds Linebacker for male party members and Tennis Ace for female party members to the already-generous roster in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and whether it's worth your money depends almost entirely on how seriously you are taking the game's job and skill-inheritance systems. Linebacker, internally nicknamed the 'Gridiron Guardsman', leans hard into American football theming - which, given that a large chunk of Infinite Wealth takes place in Hawaii, at least fits the setting. It is a physically dominant class with high HP, solid speed for a tank-type, and the ability to draw enemy attention away from more vulnerable party members. If you have been stacking your male roster around physical builds and want a frontline bruiser who does not completely sacrifice mobility, Linebacker slots in well. Tennis Ace, available to female party members, goes the opposite direction: agility and precision over raw power, with a skill set built around precise strikes and combo setups rather than soaking punishment. The thematic contrast between the two jobs is deliberate and works in practice. The catch - and it is a real one - is that neither job is anywhere close to essential. The base game ships with a very full class list, and the job system's skill inheritance mechanic means you can construct devastating builds across dozens of pairings without ever touching these two. Community consensus puts both jobs in the 'decent, not dominant' tier: worth experimenting with, unlikely to replace a well-tuned late-game setup. Linebacker has genuine niche value in harder encounters where you need a damage sponge that can still move quickly, but it is not the sort of class that reshapes your whole strategy. Tennis Ace has a strong agility-focused identity but competes for roster spots with other female jobs that arguably offer more versatility. Unlocking either job also requires Kasuga's personality stats to hit a threshold - Confidence for Linebacker, Charisma for Tennis Ace - meaning new players cannot access them immediately anyway. That is a minor friction point but worth knowing before you buy, since grinding those stats adds a small upfront cost in time on top of the purchase itself. If you already have the base game's job roster fully explored and are hungry for more build options, this set gives you two flavors that the main game does not replicate. If you are early in your run, the base jobs will keep you busy for a very long time before Linebacker or Tennis Ace feel relevant.
