Ahhhh, yeah, I see your point. Forgot that Alt's AI in the game tells you that technically Johnny altered his memories to make him the hero (lol, my lovely narcissistic bitch <3), so it was indeed Militech that planned the raid.
Yet I still stand that Johnny should be canonicly (is that even a word) older, still.
The lore doesn’t make any sense to me regarding the timeline…
Johnny was born in 1988, he was part of the Second Central American War, which supposedly began on January 13th, 2003, so Johnny would have been 15 at the time. Which is impossible as the youngest a man can go to war is 17 with parents consent, 18 without. So technically Johnny would have gone in minimum 2005. Which would be technically alright as the war lasted until 2010.
HOWEVER, Johnny supposedly FORMED Samurai in 2003 with the others AFTER he went to war, as we are made to also believe that he formed the band to revolt against the corporations he hated since the war.
So you’re telling me young Johnny at age 15 had already went to war and wanted to burn everything down??? I mean, fucking hell, same, honestly, but it makes me think that he should have been older in the lore. (I mean, with even looking specifically at the visual in the game, Keanu/Johnny doesn’t look like a 32 years old man, more like a 40ish y/o man)
ALSO, you’re telling me that Johnny fucking waited 10 YEARS to make a move on Arasaka after they took Alt??? Alt was taken in 2013, Johnny raided Arasaka Tower in 2023 (which is both shown in the game AND the Cyberpunk 2020 sourcebook). WTF DUDE, 1 year I would concede, but 10 fucking whole years?? What took you so long??? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
Okay, I’m cool, I’m calm…
Does it show that much that I am spending much of my free time reading stuff about the lore of Cyberpunk? I feel like I could talk about that game for ages… Fucking hell, I love it, haha!
There’s not enough space to post all of them, SO here’s links to everything he has posted (on twitter) so far : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12.
Now that new semesters have started, I thought people might need these. Enjoy your lessons!
