My Thoughts On The Best Jobs
While Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth impressed me a lot with its diverse set of Jobs to use, if I had to recommend you a job to stick with till the end instead of the default ones, I’d either go with Desperado or Samurai for Males and Housekeeper for Females just because of their balance set of resources and overall kits.
But that aside, I suggest min-maxing them in the late-game and instead try to get the skills you want for Inheritance. Also, these jobs are entirely based on my preference so make sure to try each one out yourself to see which suits your playstyle.
