Like A Dragon has long been defined by its iconic nightlife location of Kamurocho, with all the seediness and criminality that comes with it. To now jump on a plane and find the franchise far from home in the bright Hawaiian sunshine is almost disarming, but then this is simply another step in the series' reinvention.
There's even a deliberate comparison made here at TGS between the series' past and present - as Sega's showfloor demos have been set up so visitors have to play Like A Dragon: Gaiden - The Man Who Erased His Name before Infinite Wealth back to back. The former casts its former yakuza protagonist as a spy with fresh gadgets, but is still ultimately a brawler where you beat crowds of thugs into submission, alongside smoking, gambling, and flirting with cabaret hostesses.
Infinite Wealth is also just as happy to make an exception by breaking its own rules. After all, can you really imagine Kiryu as just another party member to issue commands? While Infinite Wealth has new jobs - that is a wacky RPG jobs system based on real-life jobs - Kiryu's is the Dragon of Dojima, a title that has stayed with him after all these years.
