While it feels like the story bites off quite a bit more than it can chew in terms of concurrent plot threads and characters to keep up with, it blows my mind how much quality content RGG Studio is able to cram into these games, and Infinite Wealth now has me fiending to dive into all the previous games (I am a fake fan and have only played Like a Dragon before this). I just hope this series doesn't eventually crush its nuanced and heartwarming character stories under the infinite (heh) weight of its own growth and expectations, because holy MOLY is there a lot of shit to see and do in this game. Nothing wrong with getting an addicting 15-hour Animal Crossing side-game built into my RPG with two forms of turn-based combat, but I definitely wouldn't mind if the next game was less than 90 hours long.
