Locked conversation choices

[shin.raijin]

I heard I can play this game without doing the gacha thing (I am only interested in gameplay and the story) so I have this a try.

In the very first scene of the intro, in the jail, after saving me, the knight lady asks me what i want to do, and I have a choice but the only selectable option is to follow her.

Whats the mechanic at play here; how do I unlock other conversation choices?

You play, you die, Unlock rest of the game. Than you restart story mode. You aquire beacons that let you lean into certain story directions.

Yeah there will be times where your choices or the setup of your spiral will lock you out of certain conversation choices or open them up...

THIS COUNTS FOR MISSIONS TOO; so be warned about that... the game won't always notify you of extra stuff like heroes you can recruit at the inn, extra rep you can get in Haven or optional (but important) storybits somewhere in town. This only holds up for spiral ofc... and you don't have to do the main gachapon for spiral... aside from the characters you take going in your choices will ALSO decide what characters will show up in your route and most of them can be acquired with the the coin you earn from missions... which opens you up to recruit and try a lot of different units.

Downside ofc is that, aside from your starting heroes, you can't take any of the ones you recruit out of the spiral either xD

To be explicit, other options unlock as you learn more about the different storylines. So playing more and going down different routes unlock choices that were locked in previous runs. You as the main character retain all the knowledge of previous tries. Just like getting everyone to survive the first prison break.
