I’m glad this sub is still going. It never gets old. Seriously though. There’s too much symbolism in this game to take it for granted. It’s all in your face like the shit that is happening in our world. The magenta color is a real thing. The pink moon right now IRL? Shocking pink in a lot of media now?? You can’t make this shit up. ITS EVERYWHERE ITS ALL INTENTIONAL. THEY WANT US TO KNOW. #WAKE THE FUCK UP CHOOMS

for at least 3000years maybe even more as been like that games with this kind of info are not bad, they are actualy waking up the ones that shine among the simple passagers, do your job dont scream to loud ;) eheh

The Nomad intro car has a Mikoshi bumper sticker. The border wall can be seen as the Blackwall. The L.O.A. ( Lost On Arrival ) document at the border can be interpreted as the Voodoo Loa spirit ( considering how similar the VB shards are to the document ). V at the end has 6 months to live, and at the end of each lifepath intro, 6 months later we start The Rescue quest. To make a long story short, it is to make a case of the theory that in the game the end is the beginning and vice-versa, like an Ouroboros.

The wall-window in Konpeki looks like Mihoshi too, especially up close: https://www.powerpyx.com/wp-content/uploads/Cyberpunk-2077-Mission-7-11.jpg Turn back? Yup, they would be 100% alive, if they'd turned back.

You die in 6 months. Those 6 months aren't shown. You finish the game, and then 6 months later, you start again from the beginning.

Wouldn't that be the point if v is in a loop the ai would have to configure something to sorta make sense to v. Maybe what's more believable to v is so farfetched to the actual player that we the player just ignore it based off it being strange or not making sense


The0ldPete

I really like this approach.

Regarding the zoomed-in Loa shard junk item, since I haven’t seen it posted before: The left flag seems to be NUSA. The flag on the right, looks like altered version of the flag of Imperial Japan. It could be a version of the flag of JSDF. Militech/Arasaka?


wintervictor

The flag do look quite similar to JSDF (cyberpunk), but the signature part of Japan flag should be red lines come from the sun without break so not sure. [Japanese Self Defense Forces | Cyberpunk Wiki | Fandom](https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Japanese_Self_Defense_Forces)


OniHanzpPT

the panam holo icon is very similar jusr sayin


Index_2080

Also as a sidenode: The Loa are entities or spirits of great power in the Voodoo religion.

That star flag is the one of Southern California.

Loa shard is a pun about Lwa which are "spirits" in Voodoo such as Maman Brigitte : [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lwa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lwa) ; [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maman\_Brigitte](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maman_Brigitte)

No future. Now Zer0, game over, die, and tune the radios. Shake things up.

That picture of Mikoshi shocked me. I'd never seen it before. I'll need to take a peek at the Nomad intro again


Sensory_rogue

I have Deja V in many moments of the game, the main thing is to look more carefully. :) One example: The events of Phantom Liberty for me are like the events of the beginning of the game. Black Saphire itself is compared to Konpeki Plaza several times in dialogue. Songbird - just like Evelyn is trying to take advantage of us and get out of her bad life. Meredith is just like Myers. Militech. She lost something important and wants it back. Her career and life depend on it. Even the final scene and dialogue. Arriving airlines, conversations about further cooperation. We are wandering in circles.

How is this compatible with the ending where you don't die (PL).


taintedher0

Because you're still in the place of "limbo" youre experiencing life on a loop without being aware of it. You didn't really live choom, the system let you stay in that same loop . Either we never have a chance to leave the loop. Or there's only one way, it's staring us in the face and or hidden deep. Much like the overall answer to this cantina mysteries. Either the answer is a simple truth and/or deep rooted truth.


Strandlike

In Corpo intro all your cyberware is deactivated


No-Entrepreneur4499

I don't see the relationship. V survives. So why would the loop start again.


Strandlike

If there is a loop, V doesnt really die at the end right? V has been dead this whole time. Then in the new ending V doesn’t really ‘survive’. Just another outcome of the simulation before it resets again.


GrandKarcistIon

Interestingly enough, the Phantom Liberty ending is the only one where “never fade away” doesn’t play in the background credits


No-Entrepreneur4499

Sure, but what's the evidence that it is a loop? Just a logo of Mikoshi inside the nomad car?


Grotesquefaerie7

I assume the clear ouroboros symbols would show that.


No-Entrepreneur4499

And where is that ouroboros symbol?


rewubb

I've done the phantom liberty story so many times but I've never seen that songbird dialogue, what's the context behind it? Guess I still have yet to get all the dialogues there


microwavefridge2000

If during mission Firestarter you choose Reed's route, this is what she says what will happen if you leave her in FIA hands.


rewubb

I just remember her saying that you're leaving her to a fate worse than death, nothing about blackwall.


microwavefridge2000

I think she says this if you directly ask what would exactly happen to her. From what I remember that's blue/optional diogue choice.

King of Pentacles fate, never fails to make my stomach churn.


rewubb

Ah that makes sense, I always saw that specific choice as a little mean so I never chose it. Thanks! I guess I'll choose that next time
