Interesting thoughts on the way that the writers from FFXIV pulled from the Cyberpunk genre.
Did you know that the writers on Final Fantasy Fourteen’s Dawntrail well and truly love the Cyberpunk genre.
If you don’t want spoilers for Endgame content of Dawntrail, please tune-out now! Last warning!
Now it’s not on the level of say other games that are based on that genre alone but enough that you can feel it in this expansion and I’m going to point out one of the things that makes it so obvious.
With the release of the Arcadion raid series, you would know that we are participating in helping the people of Solution Nine not lose hope in their current state of living, but where it really got to me was in the last cutscene of the first part of the raid.
After your battle with Wicked Thunder, you find yourself face to face with her and her sisters. She explains to you why she was in a battle to take your soul. To save herself from what she learned would ultimately be her end. To suffer from a disease known as Psychonekrosis. She explained that she would succumb to becoming the beast souls in which she used to do battle with.
This hit me immediately as the ultimate “Cyberpunk” moment when I thought about it as Cyberpsychosis. You see, in the Cyberpunk genre, Cyberpsychosis happens when a person gets far more “Chrome” than their brain can handle. This in turn forces their mind to lose control of itself and the tech installed starts to take over the body. This is an oversimplification but it’s a major part of the genre.
Psychonekrosis and Cyberpsychosis. This is how I knew I had to ask the question,
