I think people do not understand Johnny doesn’t have a deep understanding of the politics he preaches of, he is inconsistent because most of the time what he says is based on his emotions and the momentary sparks instead of some intellectual accumulation

He is a very talented rhetorician though, I think he could be even called a genius in that regard. He feels deeply and has a realistic mindset which can be classified as a practical intelligence. The comments he makes in gigs often turn out to be true

It is because he has a good impression of people and he is able to read them accurately most of the time. That being said, he is not good at looking at a grand picture. It makes him compelling in my opinion

There are so many undeveloped plot points within Cyberpunk 2077 (the whole issue regarding their experiments causing werewolves, unleashing actual viruses when people protested against them, potentially feeding people the meat of their failed human clone experiments)

I hope BioTechnica gets a bigger role, whether in Cyberpunk 2 or Edgerunners 3. It'd be interesting to shift the focus away from cyberware and cyberpsychosis for a bit and explore bioware, genetic mutations, cloning, and experimental viruses. I'd even love to see some Exotics

I can see The Substance (2024) being real within this universe so there are many stories to tell still

By undeveloped I am not meaning to say wasted, I am saying it is there waiting to be discovered

Everyone is saying Militech but I would love a Biotechnica season considering the scale of atrocities they committed towards quite literally every member of ecosystem

For each season of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners there’s been a megacorp that serves as the main antagonist. Season 1: Arasaka Season 2: Kang Tao Season 3: ??? Which megacorp would you like to get a look at next? Personally I’d like to see more of Biotechnica as they have a stranglehold over Night City.

Funnily enough, lesser cuckoos or Japanese cuckoos that the Devil ending talks of also lays their eggs in the nests of other birds like Nightingales and pushes out the original host’s eggs. This is called Blood Parasitism, and is quite similar to what Saburo does in this ending

Replying to @vesk08
Thus the Kyoto poet longs for, is not an actual location but rather memories associated with it; yet those memories are long gone simultaneously. This is further made visible by the lesser cuckoo (hototogisu) which is generally associated with echoing voices of the death

The paradoxical nature of The Devil ending is also visible in the poem Hajime reads. Spatial paradox (being in Kyoto, yet still longing for Kyoto) means that the “Kyoto” in second line is not the actual city, but rather an idealized version of home, romance or friendship

Then there is Odyssey... You can find the Odyssey shard in V’s room in Arasaka Orbital Station, and would you know, the core part of Odyssey is the nostos (homecoming) and algos (pain), together they mean: nostalgia, homesickness.

Lesser cuckoo after all is the messenger from the Underworld. “Longing for Kyoto” translation doesn’t quite capture the word “Natsukashi”, which is generally a nostalgia that sparks within your heart when you encounter a small detail from the past. It is a word you’d say

when you run into an old friend or seeing a place that has left an impression in your memories long ago. It is beautiful, it perfectly fits the narrative and I think this literary piece should be appreciated more

Kind of ironic that Pistis Sophia is the hotel where Johnny and V have their fateful conversation at the beginning of Act III. Pistis Sophia is a central figure in Gnosticism, which is about seeking wisdom to free yourself from the shackles of material world (corporatism)

In Gnostic tradition, there is a secret of universe where person who learns it achieves salvation. Jesus does not share this with all of his apostles, though he does share it with Judas, Thomas and Mary Magdalena

Judas’ betrayal in this Gnostism is not a betrayal but a heroic act which helps Jesus to shed his “physical shell” and paints Judas as a scapegoat to the others. It is overall quite an interesting narrative, and I think physical shell can be connected to engrams

I think one of the aspects of Edgerunners that should be talked about more is how intelligent David was. He would not make it in an hyper-corporate environment, yes, but excelling in a place as Arasaka Academy which had a high drop-out and suicide rate goes a long way to show

It is easy to forget that David was a kid when the events of Edgerunners were taking place, and that he had so much ahead of him. World didn’t give him any better options though, and when the money and the fame just keeps on coming it is not easy to not give in into its allure

Despite his young age he died to make the dreams of the person he loved real, and he had no qualms about it. He neither had any regrets, which is a state world conditioned him into. I am not really certain what can be said on top of this
