13	------
14	!! Trivia tropes:
15	* ActingForTwo:
16	** Creator/PatrickSeitz voices both Yuya and Patriarch Gondawara.
17	** Creator/JohnnyYongBosch reprises all three of his roles from the previous game: young Masumi Arakawa, Ikari, and Chau Ka Long.
18	* {{Blooper}}: Jo Amon and the rest of his brothers Sango, Kazuya and Jiro, are all seen using Shin Amon's face model (and hair as is with Jo) from past games for reasons unknown.
19	* CelebrityVoiceActor:
20	** Japanese version:
21	*** Satoru Iguchi, vocalist and keyboardist for the band King Gnu, lends both his voice and physical likeness to newcomer party member Eric Tomizawa.
22	*** Hiroki Hasegawa, a stage and screen actor best known playing Rando Yaguchi in ''Film/ShinGodzilla'' and starring in various dramas such as ''Manpaku'' and ''Yae's Sakura'', lends both his voice and physical likeness to Seiryu Clan acting chairman Masataka Ebina.
23	** English dub:
24	*** Creator/DannyTrejo lends not only his voice to the English Dub, but his ''physical likeness'' to the dual machete-wielding Dwight.
25	*** Creator/DanielDaeKim, known for his time on television series' like ''Series/HawaiiFive0'' and ''Series/TheGoodDoctor'' and his role as Johnny Gat in the ''VideoGame/SaintsRow'' games, not only voices Seiryu Clan yakuza Masataka Ebina in the English dub, but also lends his ''physical likeness'' to Wong Tou, the leader of the Ganzhe and owner of the Nirvana Hotel.
26	* TheCastShowoff:
27	** Creator/ElizabethMaxwell, Creator/RobbieDaymond, and Creator/GregChun all return from the previous game and once again get to show off their singing chops during the game's karaoke segments.
28	** Additionally, Keong Sim, Creator/FionaRene and Creator/SuzieYeung also get to flex their singing chops during their respective karaoke numbers as well. And while off to a rocky start in the Demo build of the game, the final release and ''[[VideoGame/LikeADragonGaidenTheManWhoErasedHisName Gaiden]]'' shows that Creator/YongYea can sing pretty well as Kiryu, too.
29	* ContentLeak: Quite a bit of content leaked with the release of ''Trivia/LikeADragonGaidenTheManWhoErasedHisName'' and the ''Infinite Wealth'' demo included with it:
30	** The entire ''Infinite Wealth'' soundtrack was leaked, creating a wealth of potential {{Musical Spoiler}}s, as well as ''all'' of the full game's character models, which were somehow left over in the demo 2 months before the full game's release, making it an unexpected surprise for model modders.
31	** The various playable party members and Jobs have also been leaked via the demo.
32	** A portion of the ''Infinite Wealth'' English dub credits for various new and returning characters was included in the demo's files — largely following the order of the Japanese cast in the opening movie — making pairing actors with their characters relatively simple before any official announcements.

34	* DearNegativeReader: After [[https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2024/01/25/digital/yakuza-translation-video-game-localization/ an article]] came out of overseas players increasingly influencing Japanese titles, featuring an interview with the executive producer of the series where he stated that they changed elements in the script if the Western teams deems them unacceptable, there was noticeable backlash from players concerned about potential censorship and bad localization, with some citing ''VideoGame/FireEmblemEngage'' as one notable example. The executive producer [[https://twitter.com/yokoyama_masa/status/1752682081531085216 responded]] on Twitter/X a few days later, [[FlipFlopOfGod denying that there were any differences between versions of the game or that he's been asked to change anything]], while stating that he will embrace change.
35	* HarpoDoesSomethingFunny: During her own playthrough of the game, [=KSon=] says she was instructed to act like she always does, and that it was okay to go off-script. One example is during Kei and Ichiban's first meeting when she gushes at Kiryu being there.

43	* ThrowItIn: According to [[WebVideo/KsonOnAir Kson]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3UXhhmjL1E herself]], she was encouraged to add in things off-script for flavor during recording, and she was shocked at how much they actually added into the game, including her [[MotorMouth excessively rapid Kiryu fan-gushing]].
