Setup for the next game/dlc/movie/series im guessing. very poorly done but
Aside from:
* Not being in Night City
* Leaving it to the players imagination
* Leaving it to DLC
* Leaving it to sequels
* Not wanting to establish a "Good" ending that everyone will take over more ambiguous ones
I agree, but judging by the game's narration, this is NOT about backup.
The narration is continuous from the first person. If V in Soulkiller is a copy, then it should not be in V's body after the reverse transfer. But after copying, it must remain in the same place (as in SOMA, to the surprise of V's copy) or be deleted. But V moves into the body instead. So this is obviously a transfer.
The game, in fact, does not provide an opportunity to switch to another entity. Even playing Johnny in the interlude, V just sees his memory. In case of copying, the game for us had to end in mikoshi. Without any additional epilogues.
The only question here is the ending for Johnny, when he returns body to V in Mikoshi. Here the narration is discontinuous.

They said that they wouldn't withhold story content for DLC, locking a "cure" behind a paywall would be the biggest example of that. I'm 100% sure they are not that stupid
Kinda ruins the replayability tho. Why play the game again if it plays out the exact same way? just reload and get the ending you want
The very nature of DLC is story for payment.

Not being an asshole but....you don't play out all the endings that way?
That’s the curse of having share holders, their morals will become more and more flexible in the name of profit.
Or the most likely option: The story of V is over.
I didn't get the impression that the ending is open, all I thought was that V got fucked over and that's it
Havent even played the endings. Saw the endings comming before it did so. In games that has the option to reload and choose diffrently at just 1 point i kinda guess i would. Just one more point that ruins the game for me
It’s clearly suppose to be like teleportation in Star Trek, yes you’re technically copied, destroyed then rebuilt somewhere else but the “soul” is simply transferred from one place to the other, the person that pops up on the other side isn’t Kirk2 it’s just Kirk.
I'm aware of what DLC is. This would be more like a soccer game where you can't score goals, you have to pay extra to be able to do that.
If the purpose of the game was to leave NC with Panam then we'd be having a different conversation, but if the game is about finding a cure and you can only find said cure if you pay extra, then that's an entirely different story than just "DLC".
I don't see how the game can not follow up on the cure given the ending.

Weird, I think this would be defined as, "Allowing you to enjoy all the content."
I wouldent. I would like to make choices along the way that made the ending happend. And replay the game with several diffrent chars but its kinda pointless in this game since it allways plays out the same way. Only thing that can change is the combat
If the cure exists in the DLC, what would be the point of playing the main story? why not just play the DLC?
You are also assuming that the optional ending would be canon which is the least likely to happen
For me, this was honestly the worst scene in the whole game, apart from the endings. I knew exactly what would happen. It wasn't in the slightest hard to guess. So much so, that I really thought: "Aha! ... They make us think we know what happens next, but then they spin it around, for the surprise! Surely that must be ... *BAM*" Hm, nope ...
Absolutely plausible.
I would be convinced from the opposite, if V would undergo certain changes after mikosi but V is bahaving like V. No sudden changes in behavior.
Misty can still read the cards for us so even in a spiritual sense, we are still here. Maybe not unchanged, because all we can do is saving the status quo but it's nonetheless V.
V with alterations caused by the trauma (in this case literally) of the story. But isn't that the meaning of life? Change? Progress?
It feels like the cancer is there to deny the audience closure and that is just bad. BTW. Nobody complained when Gerald was allowed to ride into the sunset with his love interest.
There is no canon though, any post story DLC will likely factor in any decision made in the base game.
Well, being greedy hasn't worked out well for them so far. It wouldn't be very smart to try their luck again with something like that
Yeah. CDPR spoilered their own major turning point with the trailer. Only difference is that T-Bug was toasted by black ice and that we don't have mantis blades and were at least able to put up a fight.
Just like in the Arasaka ending, V will never be the same again.
