We now have a FFXIV 6.5 release date and a look at everything we can expect from the Growing Light update, courtesy of the latest letter from the producer. FFXIV Live Letter 79 just took place at the Tokyo Game Show, and as always game director Naoki Yoshida and community producer Toshio Murouchi held their light-hearted, laid-back look at everything coming in the next big Final Fantasy 14 patch. We’ve got all the details below, including a promise of math with Thaliak, a glimpse at the Zeromus fight, Stormblood joining the free trial, and the much-touted FFXIV KFC collab.
Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth - Characters, Gameplay, And Everything We Know

With a targeted release date of January 2024, here's everything that we know about the next Like a Dragon game.
By Darryn Bonthuys on
The Like a Dragon series--formerly Yakuza--is set to make a grand return in 2024 with a new mainline entry, one that sees lovable knucklehead Ichiban Kasuga team up with the legendary Dragon of Dojima for a new adventure. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is the name of the game and a direct follow-up to Yakuza: Like a Dragon. We know, this naming convention is starting to get weird.
This new chapter comes hot on the heels of the Like a Dragon: Ishin remaster and the spin-off Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name that fills in a few gaps in the LAD timeline. While Sega and developer Ryu Ga Gotoku (RGG) have been keeping most of the details on the eighth mainline entry under wraps, the recent RGG Summit lifted the lid on the game and saw plenty of new details surface. From its release to it returning cast, plot details and new minigames, here's a closer look at everything that we know so far about Infinite Wealth, from its returning cast to its tease of a new tropical location.
You won't have to wait too long for the return of Ichiban Kasuga and his motley group of friends, as the game will be released on January 26, 2024, for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.
RGG has shared plenty of new gameplay footage since its last dedicated livestream, and as expected, Infinite Wealth continues to use the turn-based RPG gameplay that was introduced in the last game. This was a massive departure from previous Yakuza games that were 3D beat-em-ups, as Like a Dragon swapped real-time action for a system that was heavily inspired by classic RPGs like Dragon Quest.
This system has been further fine-tuned in Infinite Wealth, as players can take advantage of the gap between attacks and use it to advantageously position their characters. Interestingly, Kiryu has a unique gameplay mechanic in which he breaks free from the established turn-based gameplay and starts clobbering away at nearby enemies while using one of his signature fighting styles.
Players can once again summon Poundmates to help them out when they're in a bind, as several familiar faces will be returning to demolish any enemies around you if you can afford their services.
Between street brawls, you can probably expect the trademark minigames of the Yakuza series to return, an episodic structure to its main campaign, and several other activities that play out in an open-world environment. So far, we've seen the return of the karaoke minigame, a new activity that looks like Crazy Taxi meets the gig economy, online dating that can potentially end with a romantic rendezvous for Ichiban.
Another interesting minigame

Don't like Yakuza's new turn-based combat? Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth lets Kiryu switch to real-time brawling
The Yakuza series, now rebranded to Like a Dragon, made a controversial choice with the most recent mainline entry when it ditched the series' traditional real-time brawling combat for turn-based fights. And while Yakuza: Like a Dragon, is a triumph by almost every measurable metric, a lot of fans still wish they could throw hands in real time like the good ol' days. In Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, the next mainline game in the series, they can.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Successfully Brings the Series’ Heat and Hilarity to Hawaii
I had assumed that the Like a Dragon formula could only thrive in the Japanese settings inspired by Tokyo, Osaka, and Yokohama, but after having a 20-minute hands-on with the game at Tokyo Game Show I can confidently say that the series’ signature streetfighting and silliness has stayed strong in its switch to a sun-kissed Hawaiian island without missing a beat - or indeed a beatdown.
