Story choice option

[总是积极思考]

Hello, I just want to ask whether choosing different option will affect the story, for example :
1. In the 'cooking competition' at the start of chapter III (I choose Asuna's cake), what happen if I choose other person cake ? will the diallogue and the outcome changed ?
2. Upon entering Sustnel Mountain in chapter III, I choose to go with Medina, what will happen if I choose to go with Alice and leave Medina ?

Thank you for the answer/response

I am right before the final battle (so I still haven't completed the game), but as far as I know (especially from previous SAO games, except for some FB's DLC) it doesn't really affect anything. In the cooking competition it's just the same like it was in Hollow Fragment - developers gave players an opportunity to worship their waifu. Of course the dialogues right after choosing other character will be different, but the base storyline of the quest (and it's final) will be always the same.
As for the chapter 3 situation - it also doesn't affect anything in the future, but I think it was added for a little replayability. To know both sides motivation and all details of the story you will need to replay this chapter twice and choose different variants. But, just as I said before, it won't affect main storyline in the future.

Ok, thank you

I just wondering if there is different scene when for example I choose Alice, such as different enemy appear.

If they really wish people to replay from the beginning after reach end games they should create branching story, that's will press people to play over and over again, for example choose Medina will unlock more of her story but you unable to clear up Alice story. That will be nice in my opinion.

Other than a little bit different dialogue, the story options do nothing else. Its a very linear story.

Branching Choices would be very difficult to do by the length of this Game. When should be the first branch happen (if its only one)? Would one branch be enough? How many chars should get a branch? (only Eugeo, Alice and Medina?) That would be very time/moneyconsuming. But to be honest i would like this as well.

Noted, can I ask about the difference between choose Medina has her goals or ask about the wayfarer after Alice question that Medina use her touch on the wayfarer ?

the difference is Alice thought about Medina being selfish and Alice don't want make wayfarer ended up like her

Medina itself just thought Alice is right but she still can't accept what Alice to do with wayfarer. Well there is nothing she can do right now, right?

She doing that because what is the thing that she can do right now, being defect family?

Well yeah, it just to make you think what side you on and the story just linear, so choose this or choose that will not make story changed whatsoever

Yeah, since Hollow Fragments, SAO don't have any branch story but tends to add New Story through DLC

The storyline for this game is about as linear as you can get. None of your choices have any meaningful impact or offers an significant changes to dialogue or story itself. Just pick whatever you want because the outcome is pretty much always the same except for maybe a few different lines of dialogue.
