I always had a slight thought that it is a feature of the relic to help the people be more aware of situations and people. Since it was mainly thought to be used by the most powerful people, it would be a good way to passively protect or warn them from danger… but since it was linked to Jackie, it shows these signs as tarots because of misty who told him alot about it like you mentioned in the video. The chip is connecting to your brain and will basically merge together, become one. That would explain to me that the reason you see it is because of the overwritten (or the part that has already overwritten from the relic) brain that displays these tarots from subconscious.
"be true to yourself and all will be well" i want that to be true so badly. What a calming thought.
For king of cups, I'd argue that the non-reverse also applies to V in that the only way to get that ending is through compassion
Is it just me, or does Misty's expansion dialogue sound more like she's from New York City than in the base game?
It's really adorable watching Westerners who never once looked into Tarot and its traditions stumbling across it in Cyberpunk for the first time. Tarot cards were basically big, bold, "PLEASE DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE SUBTEXT!?" posters. For me, it felt super forced. I could guess which cards were where merely based on which NPC was nearby.
The Tarot Cards are one of my favorite parts of Cyberpunk 2077. I hope they bring them back for the next game in some format. Doesn't have to be graffiti, but in some way.
I’m honestly kind of pissed at myself that it took this video to realize the tarot card locations were a nod to the character they symbolize… I knew that some of them meshed with the PL characters, but didn’t put it all together till this.
Great video, as always!
I love the idea this is tied into Jackie.
Sam, just want to say that I really appreciate the amount of work you put out on a game that you are obviously as crazy or crazier about an even the rest of the die hards.
Much appreciated.
I'm a big fan of Tarot imagery. This is a fantastic video, and I really appreciate the comparison and theme comparison here. Much respect!
I don't know anything about tarot. But the dude with the western feel I instantly knew it was v. But it's location I don't correlate v with. V becomes a lone rider.
They put so much work into this game… I’ve never played a game with so much in it… I’ve played 4 profiles and over 600 hrs and still can’t stop playing it.
Ok, for the Reed part, at what point does Reed ambush you when you get off the elevator???
I believe the cards are a side effect of the biochip and V having 2 consciousnesses inside their head.
No one else can see them, which is exactly how Johnny’s manifestation works. That accounts for the mechanics of them appearing.
As for the premonition angle, I reason it is V and Johnny’s intuition and subconscious working in tandem like distributed computing. Everyone has that little voice in their head. That gut reaction to things and events. You can feel when someone is watching you. V has that two times over.
Just like how V and Johnny work things out together consciously and “verbally”, I have to imagine the same thing is happening in the background subconsciously. The two brains are reacting and working over the greater meaning, just like how you can have symbolic dreams about things happening in your life.

I like the idea that the cards associated with Reed and Songbird have the ending where they die maybe being free of Myers in death is better than being alive working for her
Tarot cards are BS. So I ignore them usually. Thank CDPR for giving them some sort of use to humanity besides bilking people of money. The moon never changes, in Night City there is always a full moon.
The way I see it, the King of Swords is V. V(the player) has the ability to change the fates of everyone involved. Myers can die simply because V walks away(secret ending). Songbird's fate can go 3 separate ways because of V. Nevermind the swords are positioned as a V.
I just noticed: the medal looks a little like the pentacle
Sounds about right, I saw the same warning of character flaws as I played through, and saw a few of the betrayals coming. Reed was blind, Myers a sociopath, and Song was fatally reckless. Alex was underdeveloped, even if she manages to survive the mission.
The meaning is just the devs giving us "more" to think about in an indirect way. Them being vague is part of the plan and a way to make you speculate and enforce the themes the devs wanna convey. Imo they are in no way tied to ingame lore and vague enough on the other hand to leave the devs with enough leeway to retconn lore in later.
I sent her to the moon.
Reed and Takemura are literally the same kind of people. They both serve a "master" and are loyal to a fault regardless of what you do. These people will betray you in the end and does not care for your well being.
IMO King of Swords also fits V's personality. "A ruthless opponent who will not rest until you are punished and left to be torn apart by hounds of fate". plus if you look closely the two swords in the tarot card shape the word V. great video Sam love these deep dives of yours into the awesome lore of CP2077.
King of swords would better represent V not Alex as her life balance on V’s choices
In the Mission " Somewhat Damaged" you can find a data on a Laptop.

why does this title look like one of those grifters who make clickbait content for attention or filler adding anything simple to grab for easy video?
YEAH you sound like cyberpunk version of the "Moon" guy on youtube now!
Man watching these videos make me appreciate how STRONG this expansion started off. I really really wish I could forget it all and just experience the game for the first time again
In terms of why its Tarot cards, Remember that you helped jackie pick the tarot cards that you see and misty uses. Tarot cards are meant to be highly personal and spiritual, and so perhaps the reason why its tarot cards is because the spiritual connections between you, Jackie and Misty is the reason why its appearing this way. Do remember that a subtle theme throughout the game is the death of spirituality and humanity with the progress of technology. I mean, think about all the Zen masters quest being about trying to get closer to the natural world, the Oh brother mission, the ripper docs who refuse implants, Morgan Blackhand, etc. Perhaps it took 3 people with a lot of spirituality and emothional turmoil in their lives to achieve anything close to spiritual enlightenment.
Anyone else thing chapi an cyberpunk could be in the same world arasaka puts vee in a faceless expressionless body but little do they know a fraction of johnnys left and instead of cyberpunk two protaganist v we have a culd like tech cult started by a damaged atagonist vee whos nothing but bitter from the wasted past, v would make n amazing atagonist turn around story
I think the king of sword my represent V/the player
