Katsuya Demon Questions - Persona 2: Eternal Punishment
I decided to put together a list of all the questions and answers that I saw while playing Persona 2: Eternal Punishment. There isn't a list online that I could find of all the questions/answers and I did something similar for Innocent Sin when I played that game. I am a guide writer and it's my job to document stuff like this so... All of the questions and answers on this page can be accessed through the Contact System in the game.
Some questions are asked randomly and will select a random person in your party to answer. Other times questions are triggered depending on the reaction of the demon or the person talking to him. For example, Katsuya only questions will typically involve cop/criminal justice elements (since he is a cop). Baofu only questions will involve his recording device or the voice(s) used.
You can also get questions which are triggered based on what emotion you make the demon feel. If you make it angry it may reply with an Anger Response or if you make it interested or happy it may ask you a normal or philosophical question. Each question will have (normally) 3 - 4 different answers that you can choose.
From my understanding, the monster's personality traits affect what emotions certain answers trigger... but in my experience this is not always the case. Some answers are more random than others and I believe that some are hard coded to always give certain outcomes. For example, if a demon asks you if they're an idiot and you say yes... I find that 70% of the time or more this results in a negative (Anger) outcome. However, there's usually a small chance that the demon may show interest in your boldness.
Another thing I have learned is that (almost) every answer has two different outcomes, one positive and one negative. That means it's going to trigger either Happy/Interest as a positive outcome or Anger/Fear as a negative outcome. I've found a few answers that only triggered one emotion type... but I have never found an answer that has given 3 different emotional outcomes.
Demon Questions & Answers
Response To Interrogation
Huh? What? Is this for, like, a TV show? Don't tell me, am I playing the suspect? Like, read me my rights first!
H-hey, I wanna play a cop, too!
1. Want to team up with me?
2. Then I'll play the suspect...
3. I'll just let you take fingerprints...
This one is really RNG in my experience, Answering with 1 will get 50% chance of happy or anger. When I tried answer #2 it invoked fear or happy and answer #3 was interest or anger.
Flirtation with Katsuya
That depends on you, Mr. Policeman... If you give me what I want, I might just talk, you know...
You know what I want, don't you?
1. How much do you want?
2. Is it alcohol?
3. I-is it me?!
Answering with #1 gave me either happy or anger depending on my RNG. When I did answer #2 I got either interest or fear. Finally, answer #3 gave me either happy or anger, depending on my roll.
(Personality Archetype) Evil Question
Hey, you know what!? The other day, I did something really, really bad!
Guess what I did?
1. Did you run a red light?
2. You ate a demon instead of a human?
3. Peeked in your parent's bedroom...?
For this one, I almost always answer #1 because it seems to trigger interest the majority of the time. Sometimes though your roll will fail and you'll make the demon angry. Answering with #2 will be either angry or happy depending on your RNG. Last but not least we have #3 which for me almost always triggered fear... however it can give you an interest emotion too.
Advice to Katsuya
Young man... The key to revealing the secret of a criminal's heart is not in the act, but, is in the heart. A heartless task leaves an open hole... The truth is lost after one is drowned in the task...
Don't accuse an innocent person...
1. I'll take that advice seriously...
2. There's no need to say that.
3. I'm not like that!
This is a rare question that usually came from monsters with a personality that made them act 'older'. When I chose answer #1 I got either happy or interest, happy seemed to trigger most for me. Choosing answer #2 I got either happy or anger depending on my RNG. For the third answer, I got fear or anger every time I tried it.
Dementia Question
Well well well... I wonder if I've done something... I can't remember for the life of me... In any case... How did I end up here in the first place... ?
Why did I come here?
1. I summoned you as a witness.
2. Weren't you on your way home?
3. Your were wandering, perhaps?
The answer to number 3 is spelled incorrectly ingame, it's supposed to be "You were wandering, perhaps?"
Can you handle the truth?
If you were to discover the truth you are searching for, there is a chance that you might gain some sort of sorrow...
You still want to investigate the truth?
1. I still want to pursue the truth...
2. I, I wonder if I can still pursue...
What do you want to know?
Mmmm... Me suspect, you detective. You, Me, what you want to know?
Me answer, ask anything.
1. Let's hear your alibi first
2. Bluntly, you're the culprit, right?!
3. Want to eat beef bowl?
You must be law enforcement
Judging from your words, your occupation must be related to law enforcement... There are many kinds of policemen...
What kind of policeman are you?
1. I'm detective material all the way.
2. Work is just work...
