== Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth ==
Revelations make a return in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Starting in Chapter 5, Ichiban Kasuga will gain access to Alo-Happy Tours, where Kasuga and the party can engage in several activities. Each activity has a requirement of certain Personality Stat that Kasuga currently has, along with a monetary cost. Partaking these activities will cause either Kasuga or Chitose Fujinomiya to gain inspiration and unlocks a new class for all party members of their gender to use. The player can also change jobs at all Alo-Happy Tour locations in Honolulu and Isezaki Ijincho. 
Do note however, that despite there being a Alo-Happy Tour branch in Ijincho, only Kasuga is able to unlock jobs for both his and Kiryu's party.
The first activity, Diving Tour, is part of the tutorial and is free of charge.
