Hi there! I recently came across your channel while searching for information on CP, and I have to say, I'm thoroughly impressed! That was exactly what i WAS LOOKING FOR: ) Your videos delving into the lore are incredibly comprehensive and informative. Your narration is pleasant to listen to, and the length of the videos strikes a great balance. The way you present the information, both in terms of content and technically, is spot on. Naturally, I've already hit the like button and subscribed. Looking forward to more content from you in the future! Best regards! 😊👍

In the new Cyberpunk book, No Coincidence, their is a line that says once you die, it's game over, no back ups, nothing. I immediately thought of Arasaka. Everyone knows about Soulkiller and Secure your Soul. This means Saburo Arasaka can live forever kinda like a God while the average citizen dies every day. Real scary stuff.

Even then he doesn't actually continue living. His original consciousness dies but then an engram continues on in his place even if in Yorinobu's body.

@traphimawari7760 8 ай бұрын

not really, the engram doesn't actually entail the entire soul of a person, just their personality think of it like a really complicated ai version of a person, they think, act, and remember things the person who used to be alive but it doesn't have the capability of looking past itself in its moment since it only copies the presented personality and not its potential, Johnny doesn't exactly change over time, he is always sentimental, always comparing past with your present actions never worrying about the future, he doesn't even get mad or try anything to completely kill you(your consciousness) off in order to survive, he just accepts it almost as if he doesn't have a will of his own despite being an exact copy of Johnny, literally no drive or purpose other than replicate the past and his once self no change whatsoever even when presented with the prospect of change he just dismisses it, same case with Saburo's engram, only difference is Saburo has always been ambitious he is almost machine like in personality always thinking about progress no matter the sacrifice which wouldn't make it hard for them to replicate an exact ai copy of his soul since he doesn't have that much remorse even towards his own son since the ai personality probably assumed that the original copy didn't so he(the engram) wasn't even against the idea of inserting his soul(personality) into his own son, meanwhile Saburo when he was alive despite knowing what his son did and being disappointed still had the sympathy and care for his own son and only called him a fool which obviously ended up in his death something probably took lightly since he just backed his own son into a corner to scold him, foolish action leads to reckless behavior, thus when the personality clone of Saburo is presented with the evidence of his murder his first action is obviously the remorseless kind which is to oust his son and the board of directors meaning the clone only inherited the key ambition, and again only the actions and memories, not even a hint of empathy from the original Saburo who still cared of his own son that he had the gall to confront him directly with no protection despite being warned by both his daughter and Anderson the Saburo we saw had empathy but the clone we got lacked any and only inherited the ambition and personality, if he saw Hanako as a threat as well in the coming future as he the personality preside in Yorinobu he probably won't hesitate to eliminate Hanako or Michiko if it means achieving his goals, Hanako essentially just brought an AI copy of the worst parts of their father to existence and placed it in his own brother as punishment not knowing how bad it could be in the long run. Overall the relic project is a failure, it would take a couple more versions for it to be actually viable since it isn't able to completely transfer the soul only the consciousness without the conscience.

It is interesting how the events of Cyberpunk 2077 could cripple Arasaka more than any war could. Yorinobu's coup and the internal power stuggle leaves it dangerously vulnerable to everyone, most of all Militech. It is telling how the only ending where Arasaka is able to avoid catastrophic losses is when you pursue the Devil Ending and return everything back to the status quo.

I wonder how Phantom Liberty will change Arasaka's future if Militech can get a hold of V. It's starting to make sense why Johnny would not be in support of an idea that involves getting in the same bed with Militech. V could share the same fate as Johnny. V wouldn't be queen of the Afterlife, nor would she run away with the Aldecaldos, but could die in the middle of battle, and be a casualty of war. That would be pretty interesting, a true blaze of glory ending. Im getting off the rails here but this video got me pondering.

The surname Arasaka (荒坂) means "rough mountain" or "rough slope." It is believed that Mr. Pondsmith chose this name for the fictional corporation because it is similar to Arisaka (有坂) meaning “mountain-possessor” -- the surname of a very prominent Japanese firearms designer. The son of that designer established the Arisaka Rifle Manufacturing Company in 1908, which operated until 1945. Personally, I speculate that the reference to a “rough slope" in the fictional Arasaka Corporation's name could be a metaphor for Japan's challenging journey of postwar socioeconomic recovery -- and then, in the Cyberpunk world, a second journey arising from all the spiraling consequences of the Crash of 1994. 1:37 In pronouncing the word “Tokyo,” the correct pronunciation does not include any kind of “i” sound. This is a common mistake. For those interested, Tokyo was ORIGINALLY called Edo (江戸), which was a compound of 江 e ("cove, inlet") and 戸 to ("entrance, gate, door”). That can be translated as "estuary”, and is a reference to the original settlement's location at the meeting of the Sumida River and Tokyo Bay. However, during the Meiji Restoration in 1868, the name of the city was changed to Tokyo, a compound of 東 tō (“east"), and 京 kyō ("capital”).

The big new ending for Phantom Liberty clearly tells us what happens if V does nothing about Arasaka. Hanako and Takimura will still attempt their coup but fail. Yorinobu pulls Arasaka completely out of Night City allowing Militech and the NUSA to take control. And eventually Yorinobu 'resigns' his position under suspicious circumstances, almost certainly from a new internal revolt. The takeaway I got is that Yorinobu does manage to do catastrophic damage to Arasaka in a few years but the corporation still stands despite his efforts.

I only thing i dont like about cyberpunk 2077 is the fact u cant truly role play as a corpo taking over melitech or Arasaka ,it just feels like the writers only wrote a story for street kid more so than nomad i honesty believe the devs rushed the game cuz it needed way more time to be cooked in the oven, and tbh i expected cyberpunk 2077 to be like deus ex mixed with bladerunner and ghost in the shell with a dash of gta , and the choosing system from mass effect trilogy ,🤔 i mean thats wat i was wanting the whole time ,i still love the game but i expected more tho

There's no logical way V could take over a corporation of that size. It's good they didn't take the Skyrim approach and just make you head of a major faction just for doing some quests

@@nxxynx5039 🤔 never played Skyrim ,but i do believe v should at least have a option to do that ,😂its a fantasy ,u cam literally be a cyber psycho without actually being one😂 at the end of the game v is more mechine than man at that point if u upgraded him to the max cuz i made a netrunner and mixed with an enforcer build literally op asf and i was on the hardest difficulty

It wouldn't fit the themes of the cyberpunk genre, which is predicated on trying to break the status quo and destroying the system. Becoming part of it will always lead to a lose state, since the character loses any claim to heroism (or being an anti-hero).

@@KaiserAfini y wouldnt it fit the theme, like i admit that cyberpunk has light rpg elements but it shouldve been better then wat came out back in 2020 but u literally can do anything as long as it a lines with the lore of cyberpunk i truly felt 2077 was a pond compared to the vast Ocean of actual lore i just feel like the game came out in a rush and it didnt capture everything in the lore 🤔 thats wat i mean

@@thedude4871 I meant that its based on the cyberpunk story genre, the genre that started with Neuromancer. That particular style of writing (including script writing) has the protagonists trying to break the system as one of its core pillars, becoming part of the system is considered a fail state.

V ending with Arasaka is a very dark future, you basically give up the control of your soul to Arasaka, they will control your memory your very being and who know what they will do to you. ONe of the possibility is they modify the memory and clone to a body and make V a slave with no freewill.

Is there even any functional difference between national governments and big corporations in this setting? Arasaka always seemed to be a extension of Japan while Militech a proxy of NUSA (USA). Same goes to the lessers like Kang Tao which seems to be the China avatar or Sovoil which is a proxy to the ussr or Petrochem which seems to be the same as Siemens is to germany today. Night Corp being the embodiment of Night City state self governance. It seems just like they are all the tentacles of big boy national governments.
