should I be going law or chaos or neutral in smt 1 / 2 / 3 (eventually when i get there)

someone told me "go neutral for the canon ending" which spoiled me on that but refusing to pick a side seems like minmax bullshit. i'm pretty far into smt1 and might just ride out neutral for the reason above but for 2 i'm thinking law, based on what i see in 1

lol 1 has some fun bugs in it where for whatever reason, your alignment can swing into the opposite path and lock you in near the end of the game. sometimes it happens sometimes it doesnt.

SMT2 is a lot different from SMT1 already, it's a lot more story driven lol. The demon dialogue is a lot more in depth which is great, these demons all feel unique now.

Is the "correct" dialogue consistent within a demon type? Like a pixie will always be more conducive to friendly vs threatening.

Is it based on law vs chaos vs neutral alignment of the demon? Does int help negotiating? Does more str make you more threatening?

I'm right outside Tokyo Tower which is like the first landmark you're supposed to go to and my playtime is already 4 hours of me running around and looking for Gustave's cronies and doing sidequests. Game is great so far.

Did an Abscess that was two Sudamas and my entire team, including MC, was weak to Force, so that was pretty scary. Now only 3/4 of my team is weak to force :eng99:
