Maya 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.
