TODAY, we will be taking a closer look at the beautiful tarot cards of Cyberpunk 2077 — specifically, all Major Arcana featuring throughout the game’s main story. Each card corresponds with an event, circumstance, location, or character, and here, I try to break down the best match for each of them.

The tarot cards are honestly one of my favourite features of the game, as the art is so striking. The vibes around it are so creeeeepyyyyy. The Devil card scene was also surprisingly scary lol! I didn’t expect to jump at a rubics cube. I ended up learning about tarot through my research, so now, I have a new party game.

I’ll be covering the Phantom Liberty cards as well as Misty’s readings for my upcoming videos on each of 2077’s/PL’s endings. Misty’s readings, I find, foreshadow V’s future with each ending, and it’d be really interesting to speculate with you guys on the fate she’s foreseeing.

But god… I am NEVER playing through the Arasaka ending again lol. It breaks my heart to see Misty so upset.

Thank you all so much for watching, and I’ll see you again in the next one (Hint: I call her clan the AVOCADOS as a joke)! BYEEEEE!!!

  4. I'm always curious what others' interpretations of the cards are, I find it telling about that individual. Excited for part 2, on my current playthrough I'm trying to get readings from Misty only as soon as a new reading is available but not so often that I get repeat readings

  11. Tarot cards are among my favorite character analysis tools. I think Hanako, as you say, is typically one step ahead but Yorinobu and V demonstrate that even she isn't above surprises. The Devil ending is the only one where she survives iirc.

    Personally, I can see parts of myself in the reversed Magician. I do have some unrefined talents but I never utilize them fully and tend to just go with the flow in life.

  14. The Sun also reminds me of a classic Western, particularly The Man With No Name trilogy. There’s an ambivalence or bittersweet vibe, a closing for good and ill. It’s definitively an end, but also incomplete, like the journey didn’t lead to the treasure one wished for, or the treasure itself wasn’t one expected.

  19. At first, tarot seemed like an odd addition to Cyberpunk. Like it seemed too on-the-nose for each plot point but I grew to love them. Especially the PL tarot! Looking forward to your videos on each of them!

  20. There's a person on Etsy that makes a the deck of tarot cards (minus minor arcana). I did pick them up and did my first reading for my wife and I. Honestly, felt pretty accurate for the long term.

    Thankfully no Devils drawn for either of us

  24. "Behind them is a pile of bones and metal. Remnants of the last feast these animals must've just enjoyed. It's like a date night." Wow. I'm not sure if that's an explanation on what the animals just did, or a joke on seeing what couples do in resturants/roommates doing in the apartment or even your own dating history. But I found it very funny 😀

    Speaking of the Tower. A friend, who later became a medium and we lost contact, once talked about the tarot cards a while back. I think, poor memory aside, that the tower should only be included in a reading if the reader feels dread when preparing it. She explained it as either warning the subject of imminent danger or warning them that they are the danger. This is very old second or third hand information. But I think it is an interesting viewpoint.

    (Someone else I met much later said that preparing the deck beforehand meant that my friend wasn't a "true" medium. So really take it for what you will. )

  25. Man I don't think I properly appreciated how gorgeous the tarot card art is until now. I really love the big blocks of color and shadow and the sort of marker-y washed out style. I wanna try making some cyberpunk tarot card art now…

  27. yesssss talking about 2077's tarot murals

    if I wasn't such a weenie about it, I'd get one of them tattooed on my back like one of those giant yakuza tats. They're so incredible in terms of raw art and I love the symbolic meanings of the major arcana AND and the story of 2077 is whatever the adult version of a core memory is to me.

  29. Judy is not really after justice, being she is a entitled co-dependent narcissist, who resorts to emotional manipulations to get her way. Judy may seem to be helping or doing what is just, but the core motivations is not that at all. The only Justice in her mind is what she thinks it should be, even though it can be up to pure evil. Remember, Marxists murdered millions in the name of Justice: Judy got any real political power would be the next Pol Pot. With River I would also add: him being a sociopath, does what he does because he fell into the illusion of needing to control events around him. Natural, I suppose based on his childhood, still makes it wrong, and not Justice.
    Johnny will only take V's body only if the Player decides. If left to the story line he always goes with Alt……. though Alt does not like that happening.

    Nomad ending I think is the best. Misty does mention in the end credits that V will have a good life in the bad lands. The Swallow, which lands on the trucks window also has similar literary symbolism. Plus as Panam mentions they will never return to Night City, the center of all things that will die sooner than later. Would tell me, logically, V over comes the death clock and lives out her life for many years to come.
