Does options in Dialogues Matter?

[tonyojimbo]

Hey I kind of just started this game, and was wondering if the dialogue choices we pick have an impact on the game??? It may also related to this, but sometimes in Virtue building interactions (eg with Haulkenberg for Courage skill), after certain dialogue options, little triangle objects and sound floats from the character to the protagonist? What do they mean?? It also happens with Follower dialogues too, does it impact the follower rank up???

Giving "good answers" in this game rewards you with MAG, the currency to study archetypes and learn new inherited skills.. Other than that, it's not too important if you don't give the best answers.. It won't hinder your progress with your followers, unlike in previous Atlus titles, so don't worry about that.
The more triangles you get, the more MAG you receive, but it doesn't matter that much cause you can farm MAG in the overworld too.

Only dialogue choices that really matter are the ones that come up around the end of the game.. Depending on your answers, you'll end up with different "endings", but the game makes it REALLY clear which answers you gotta pick to get the true ending. At least they appeared hella obvious to me.

There are a few options towards the end that can lead to a bad ending (you can just reload an autosave so nothing to worry about) but that's all I think. As for the little triangles they just give you a little bit of mag if you choose the right option.

Edit: You also get some money and a single point of imagination if you choose the right option in a debate

I see I see! Thanks for the information! I was like does this give me more of the virtue points or something? Didn’t realise it gives extra MAG

It doesn't impact the follower rank up like in persona games.

You rank up with each event, there is no value to attain. But in rank up events and virtue events, you can get magla if your answers are good and extra virtue points in virtue events (usually 4 points instead of 3).

The little triangles is the magla you get, the more the better, but not every answer gives you magla (usually 1 to 3 triangles sometimes 4 I believe). The game will show your magla counter at the end of the events if you gain some.

No, choices do not matter. This game is very linear, and the story is very simplistic. Magla is so abundant too, so don't worry about that.
