What Carries Over In Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth New Game Plus?

has a New Game Plus mode, but not all progress is transferred into it. New Game Plus is a common feature in RPGs with level-based progression. It allows players who have beaten the game to restart it, maintaining some of their progress. NG+ can include extra content, new difficulty levels, or, at the very least, an opportunity to make different story and character choices. In short, it's a way to keep repeat playthroughs fresh, and has been a staple in the series for quite some time.

Ever since put a turn-based spin on 's combat, however, New Game Plus is a little different. Power and progression in and are based on four statistical categories: character level, job level, equipment, and money. That doesn't even begin to cover all of Ichiban's stats, however, and there are certain things inevitably left behind when starting a New Game Plus. Here's everything to know about 's New Game Plus mode, what does and doesn't carry over, and how to unlock it.

Most metrics of combat and social progression carry over into 's NG+. All the following transfer completely into 's New Game Plus:

Levels are pretty self-explanatory: each party member will start NG+ at the same level they finished the first run. Characters can also select from one of 25 jobs in , and change them at will. Job levels also carry over into NG+. All of Ichiban's money remains in his account at the beginning of NG+. Similarly, items and equipment carry over directly — this applies both to consumables and gear. All progress in the Personality Traits system also carries over. This mechanic allows Ichiban to develop different aspects of his personality, with certain content locked behind certain trait ranks.

To that end, some completed Personality Challenges — long-term goals that reward points towards Ichiban's Traits once achieved — remain completed in NG+. Others can be completed repeatedly for extra Trait points. The same goes for Kiryu's Unfinished Business objectives, which raise his efficacy in battle.
