I guess I am lucky at level 40 to have gotten it in a random skill mutation on a low level Quicksilver?

I just finished the part with the giant cocoon and the reveal of the four angels in Mikado. I'm just really confused at the geography of the game, how a giant land mass exists over Tokyo that looks older than Tokyo itself.

I thought it was Shinjuku, but I wasn't running into any. Must have been in the wrong area. Thanks!

I beat you very silly.
I got a random skill change to Concentration from a starter demon in the very 1st floor of Naraku. I forget the name but it's the dude that you have to fight in your very first battle, hahaha.
The funny thing is he's a pretty much a physical looking dude, so I was like WTF.
So I loaded up my locked-Law save, figuring that I could just breeze through the last hour or so of the game for the ending.
- Law feels really tacked on, compared to Chaos. Less bosses, less . . . everything.
- Used up the hundred or so app points I had lying around, and the Skill Plugin app is amazing. Or at least it's my luck. On level sixty-ish enemies, recruiting gave me the following skills:
Of course, I got junk often, too, but just getting them tacked onto whatever previous skillsets they had is so damn good.
- this last dungeon is (not-plot-related)
Law blows!

terrible.
Well...
let's just say that dimensional travel and multiple timelines are an established part of the plot and leave it at that.
@Dresden: WAY better NG+ demons though.

The story would take too long to explain. When you get into it, it is quite crazy and all over the place

Shit, I think I hit the period where I am forced into an alignment path and I am the opposite of what I want to be.
It seems I have to choose between killing Lilith or Tayanama and his red pill operations. Last I checked I was chaos, and I haven't had much time to change that since there have been very few choices present since then. Walter and John just split.
I think Neutral is the path with the most content. End game spoilers for every path I guess
.
Pretty sure the game wants you to treat the neutral path as the best one considering the amount of stuff they explained about the backstory and Tokyo itself and the huge amount of content.
since you have both the law and chaos dungeons/bosses and the hunters competition quest

Keep playing.
Just need the accident, you get the one closest to the level the resulting demon would have been.
I have a locked neutral save, I just want to get Law out of the way.
e: oh man, this dungeon suddenly got so much better.
oh I know, i was just saying it in general
i'm jealous of you neutral guys, i'm stuck with law here
oh well, there's always next run.
Yeah I really thought it was it. God this game does such a good job of making you weigh the consequences of your actions.

If you talked to some NPC's they can effect your alignment if they ask you a question.
Challenge quests that aren't required also add points.
I didn't do any challenge quests and I thought if you answered with the first response to every question you'd even out with those.
If I remember correctly, ENSIDE was involved with Catherine and P4G localizations too.
How'd you handle the
ethics gauntlet

You probably talked to a lady that asked you if you were a human or a demon and that set off the balance.
You may have messed up on the boss questions.

Just as I was thinking, "Man, I'm rolling in macca," I got to Ginza. The equipment here is crazy expensive! There go my savings.

Boss questions don't effect alignment. Only battle buffs and debuffs.
No some do. At least according to the Japanese Wiki.
And just the other day, someone mentioned otherwise! This is madness.
Okay, I'll just go with this for now.

Maybe a few ask Alignment reliant questions based on your current alignment.
Not sure if any add any points though.
Not sure how to spoil this one so just don't highlight if you don't want to be spoiled about bosses or alignment.
The questions Tenkai ask you during his battle affect your alignment score according to the wiki here http://www34.atwiki.jp/megaten4/pages/88.html. The question Walter asks you during the Pluto boss battle also affect your alignment.

Interesting. I've beaten the game 3 times already so you aren't ruining anything.

double post
I'm not entirely sure if that's the case. In Midtown,
the second Tenkai question during the fight certainly felt like an alignment effect to me. I picked Law, and Jonathan commented on it immediately, there was no buff/debuff either.
Yup! Thanks. I'm on my phone so it's a pain to search through the thread for it.
Concentrate is great if you're a magic user. Smirk + Concentrate + elemental weakness spell = Holy hell
How do you concentrate and then get a smirk? By blocking an element?
