Is there any purpose to the three questions asked when making a new game?

Solution 1:

These questions determine the bonus clan privilege Clan Gully will start with. For example, choosing options A B A will grant you the bonus privilege Bonus AP 1.

The clan privlages you'll start with are:

  • Power UP 1
  • Agility UP 1
  • Speed UP 1
  • Luck 1
  • Bonus Privilege

If the bonus privilege you choose is already possessed than you'll get an upgraded version of that privilege (i.e. taking Power Up 1 would grant you Power Up 2). The bonus privilege can be any of the following (source):

  • Agility up 2: Slightly improves chance to hit and avoid being hit.

  • Bonus AP 1: Slightly increases the ability points awarded for completing a quest.

  • Bonus EXP 1: Slightly increases the experience points awarded for completing a quest.

  • Bonus Gil 1: Slightly increases the gil awarded for completing a quest.

  • Bonus CP 1: Slightly increases the clan points awarded for completing a quest.

  • Luck up 2: Slightly increases critical hit rate and chance of an Opportunity turn.

  • Power up 2: Slightly increases damage dealt and reduces damage received.

  • Smash Gauge Bonus 1: Slightly increases the rate at which the smash gauge is filled.

  • Speed up 2: Slightly raises speed.

The chart below shows the bonus privilege earned for every possible question and answer combination for the Japanese version of the game (for example, A B B grants Bonus CP 1)(source):
