1 | 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. | |
12 | ||
13 | [For the sake of ease, text will follow an L/N/C abbreviation system] | |
14 | ||
15 | Some notes about the choices throughout the game: | |
16 | Shifting Alignments | |
17 | The battle with Issachar in Kiccigorgi | |
18 | - | For all choices before this battle, there's no change. |
18 | + | If you finish the battle in two turns or less, you'll receive no changes. |
19 | Beating the Minotaur | |
20 | Your choices mid-battle don't matter, but you get C+5. | |
21 | - | Finishing off Dulahan grants C+1, not doing so grants L+1. |
21 | + | Finishing off Dullahan grants C+1, not doing so grants L+1. |
22 | - | At the Black Samurai's question in the village hall |
22 | + | At the Black Samurai's question in the Ikebukuro bookstore "Could you live in Tokyo?" |
23 | - | [Seems that way.] = L+1, [Doesn't seem that way.] = C+1, [I don't know.] = No Change |
23 | + | [I could manage it.] = C+1, [I could never.] = L+1, [I don't know.] = No Change |
24 | This choice might be a slight issue. (?) | |
25 | In the battle with Tenkai | |
26 | - | The first question |
26 | + | The first question, "What sort of city is your ideal Tokyo?" |
27 | - | [With Order~] = L+1, [With Freedom~] = C+1 |
27 | + | [A peaceful city of order.] = L+1, [A wild city of freedom.] = C+1 |
28 | [One of both order and freedom.] = No change. | |
29 | Now, if your choices and current state match (i.e. currently at 0), then you will have to add 1 to something | |
30 | - | At Tenkai's second question, saying [To reform things] = C+1, [To preserve things] = L+1 |
30 | + | |
31 | At Tenkai's second question, [I'll reform it.] = C+1, [I'll sustain it.] = L+1, [I don't know.] = No change. | |
32 | ||
33 | Choosing a Route | |
34 | Going with Jonathan yields L+10, going with Walter yields C+10 | |
35 | ||
36 | Jonathan's Route's Changes | |
37 | - | At Walter's question at the Yamato Gate |
37 | + | |
38 | - | [I understand] = C+1, [I don't understand] = L+5 |
38 | + | At Walter's question at the Yamato Reactor |
39 | [Completely.] = C+1, [Don't speak for me.] = L+5 | |
40 | ||
41 | - | Tayama's question: [That kind of thing~] |
41 | + | |
42 | - | [I think so.] = C+1, [I don't think so.] = L+5 |
42 | + | |
43 | Tayama's question: [You'd march into a place that had it made and force them to change it all?] | |
44 | [I see no issue.] = C+1, [It is a bit vexing.] = L+5 | |
45 | The battle with Yamato-Takeru has no effect, but pressing the button gives C+5, and you have no choice but to do so in order to proceed. | |
46 | - | At the White Men's question: [Is there a reason humans are born?] |
46 | + | |
47 | - | [There is.] = C+1, [There isn't.] = No Change |
47 | + | |
48 | - | Walter's question inside the Shinjuku Shelter in Desert Tokyo |
48 | + | At the White Men's question: [Have you ever given thought to why humans are born?] |
49 | - | [Let's get him before he gets us.] = No Change, [Let's wait and see.] = L+8 |
49 | + | [Yes, I have.] = C+1, [No, I haven't.] = No Change |
50 | - | This one may also be a slight issue. |
50 | + | |
51 | Walter's question inside the Shinjuku Shelter in Blasted Tokyo | |
52 | [Kill them before they kill us.] = No Change, [Let's wait and see...] = L+8 | |
53 | - | Accepting the quest from Akira “Expecting you, the saviors” = L+1 |
53 | + | |
54 | - | Accepting the quest from the citizens “Please, exterminate the demons in Shibuya!” = L+5 |
54 | + | |
55 | - | Walter's question in the battle with Pluto |
55 | + | |
56 | - | [There's no point in thinking about it.] = C+6, [It's alright if we stop and think] = C+4 |
56 | + | |
57 | - | Pressing the switch after battling Yamato-Takeru in Shibuya = C+5 |
57 | + | Accepting the quest from Akira “The Accidental Messiah” = L+1 |
58 | ||
59 | - | [Tokyo] = L+5, [East Kingdom of Mikado] = No Change |
59 | + | Accepting the quest from the citizens in Blasted Shinjuku “Defeating the Demon” = L+5 |
60 | - | Accepting the main quest from Akira “A favour in Shinjuku” = C+1 |
60 | + | |
61 | Walter's question in the battle with Pluto (includes an unavoidable C+5 for defeating Pluto) | |
62 | - | [I want to go back] = No Change, [I don't want to go back] = C+6 |
62 | + | [Quite so.] = C+6, [It does bear consideration.] = C+4 |
63 | ||
64 | Pressing the switch at the Yamato Reactor in Ichigaya = C+5 | |
65 | ||
66 | In Infernal Kasumigaseki, telling Akira where you're from | |
67 | [Tokyo] = L+5, [Eastern Kingdom of Mikado] = No Change | |
68 | - | 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. (TL Note: not sure what this means) |
68 | + | |
69 | Accepting the main quest from Akira “Shinjuku is Mine” = C+1 | |
70 | ||
71 | Walter's question after the battle against 'Mahāmayuri' in Infernal Shinjuku | |
72 | - | Always pick the top choice |
72 | + | [I'd like to go home.] = No Change, [I don't want to go back.] = C+5 |
73 | - | At the Passage of Ethics, always pick left (Chaos) |
73 | + | |

74 | + | |
75 | - | At the last route split, pick [Destroy the status quo] |
75 | + | |
76 | - | Only complete main quests that are absolutely necessary (up until the route lock) |
76 | + | |
77 | Before the Final Route Split | |
78 | [Preserve the status quo] = L+15, [Destroy the status quo] = C+5 | |
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: | |
83 | - | Choices |
