About Alignment Positions
2
There's no real information about how to change your alignment on this wiki,
3
so here there's going to be some information pertaining to that. The way it works is this:
4
Making a LAW Choice   = LAW [+X]
5
Making a CHAOS Choice = CHAOS [+X]
6
7
To figure out your current alignment, take your CHAOS points and subtract them from your LAW points. Any higher than 9, and you'll be LAW. Any lower than -9, and you'll be CHAOS.
8
9
If you check every time you make a choice in-game, and add points appropriately, it should be easy to understand. (Though your own experience may differ)
10
11
All choices lean to either CHAOS or LAW, and NEUTRAL choices are basically non-existent. Not only that, but CHAOS can go up to -100 and LAW can go up to +100, but NEUTRAL can only be between -8 and +8. So it's within an extremely narrow range.

Some notes about the choices throughout the game:

Now, if your choices and current state match (i.e. currently at 0), then you will have to add 1 to something
30-

68+

79
It may be that pressing the remote grants you L+5, so [Preservation] may as well be L+10, and [Destruction] may be C+10.
80
81-
In that case, you'll have to be -5 just before the route split. All the top options will still be okay, though you can ignore the woman in Ikebukuro (though saying [Demons] is still okay) and still enter the NEUTRAL route. Saying [Demons] will give C+10.
81+
82
In the original thread on 2ch, there was a strategy on how to get the NEUTRAL route, that we have verified. Please use this as a reference. If you aren't familiar with it already, it's built on 5 main principles:
