Great writeup! I'm in chapter 10 currently, but the game already feels like a top 5 lock for me at GOTY time. I joined this series for LAD, and Ichiban is absolutely my main draw. But I've also been surprised how much I care about Kiryu after being worried they were pushing Ichiban into costar status.
One thing I will say about this game is that it doesn't feel disrespectful of my time, in spite of the dozens of hours I've put into it. It might sound boring recapping what I do in a 2 hour block of the game (kinda wander around getting into random fights in search of photo locations), but the moment-to-moment is so engaging that I don't care. The relatively short timer for each day on Dondoko Island keeps me wanting to do one more thing there, and I usually don't care for that genre of game. Infinite Wealth is really much more than the sum of its parts.
