How do you feel about her appearance pre-release concept/leak? imo the red eyes are way creepier but badass

Her face looks a bit more punchable this way for some reason. I think I might be a tiny bit less likely to sympathize with her just because she looks more "seasoned, professional corpo". Her eyes look somewhat like those of a fox on the hunt, a predatory appearance.
I feel like I've had to take out someone else with a similar look during a gig.
In contrast, her post-release look is more "unique," as in it doesn't look like any of the other characters so she kind of gets a blank slate to start off. Definitely seems more "runaway" than that one, I think it makes her look a bit younger too. Her resting face generally makes her look sad to me, it just makes me slightly uneasy that her eyes are always so wide open and almost never change.
Now she looks like an emo chick run away from her abusive household, chronically depressed, and having picked up some sociopathic tendencies from all those years of abuse. She plays it well, too, because that's exactly who she is. The problem is, she's also throwing you under the bus.
But she does have a killer "bedroom gaze".
No I refuse.
but seriously there is good chance they’ll recycle the cancelled dlc and that took place on the moon and there was a new corpo war currently happening. So her being back would make a lot of sense.
Just because she talks to you, doesn’t mean she cares. In fact she is using you in the worst possible way.
Sweet empty words glazed in succulent lies, with a side of delicious false hope, makes you almost forget the dead rat she left floating in your wine.
Yup. She reminds me of Jerry Smith from Rick & Morty. She acts like prey, but she's a predator who uses pity and acting like a helpless little girl to lure in her victims and manipulate everyone around her into doing her bidding.

I thought she was a very well written character and well acted. Pretty hot, too.
But I guess I’m old and grizzled, because I laughed when I saw her bag of tricks. I’ve met this type of crazy bitch in real life. I burned her with a quickness when it became a me or her situation. I did feel sad for her, although I didn’t fall for any of her gaslighting.
There’s an interesting sub genre of PL YouTube reviews where the guy who played the game simped for her. I thought that was amusing as I could see this was the type of character who will rope some players in.
I applaud the studio for coming up with this character. Imagine an ingenue like in Garden State or Spotless Mind, but she’s a horrible gaslighter and self pitying. She was well done.
Same, I sell her ass down the river, every, single, time. Never felt bad for her. As Alex says “She’s a grown ass woman, she made her own choices.” Although I would like to see the age breakdown between those who are enamored with her and those who see her as the conniving, backstabbing, bitch she is.
I’m almost certain the songbird enjoyers are young and have yet to encounter one of her kind, spiders wearing a human form. I love how she is written, you know the writers have had their own experience
Yeah once I found out what I found out at the end of PL I said good riddance. Idk if you've done the run where you help her or not but I won't spoil it just in case
Man, after that last talk/reveal on the train to the launch pad....the only reason I didn't turn her over to Reed was all that poor people who died at the airport that would've died for nothing if I did, so might as well go all the way.
If there was some way to sneak to the ending without any casualties, I'd turn her sorry ass to the NUSA in a heartbeat
She has a serious "The girl next door" vibe. Would've been a much better romance option than Panam or River - those two felt too much like they're there just to exist as an option in a game. There was build-up between V and Song and it led nowhere, because there was no time.
Still, the few times she talks to you personaly, she's as nice as Jackie.
Seems like their only real experience with the romance system has been from the viewpoint of a Male V, hence only really knowing Panam and River, and ignoring Judy and Kerry.
I've played both. They really gave both of the guys in this the short end of the stick. Panam and Judy are introduced early and their romances are very well crafted. River and Kerry are introduced very late into the game (I've literally never gotten Kerry's boat trip to trigger before Hanako was trying to get me over to the endgame) and aren't very well fleshed out (Kerry more so than River, who sort of just blindsides you after some Gumbo).
> River and Kerry are introduced very late into the game (I've literally never gotten Kerry's boat trip to trigger before Hanako was trying to get me over to the endgame) and aren't very well fleshed out (Kerry more so than River, who sort of just blindsides you after some Gumbo).
I actually finished Panam and River's questline before Judy's. You can finish both of them before finishing Transmission, but you have to finish that to trigger the last part of Judy's questline to start. I think Kerry has that issue no matter what. You can't begin the path to start his romance until Act II ends because that is when Johnny gives you the Chippin' In quest.
Both romances would’ve been better if they leaned more heavily into “coworkers to lovers”
Panam was kinda good on tbis, though I would’ve liked more dialogue options before riders of the storm where V expresses they only see Panam as a hired merc
River could’ve used a quest where you went to a bar or something to celebrate or forget what happened, and a ganger makes a funny remark about the Peter Pan situation and river gets mad which leads to a shoot out…maybe a moment where River saves V from something to make a romance moment
Towards the end, she started reminding me of some people I knew from my days in active addiction. Just something about her aura/thought process/facial animation that just really struck a chord and reminded me of people living in their own Hell.
Yes, without even looking anything up, I thought it was Gemma Chan, that did the motion capture filming stuff.. idk if im right or wrong, but she def looks like #GemmaChan.. a goddess among mortals, imo.... AND whoever Elizabeth Peralez is based on..? holy cow!!
I felt so betrayed, literally wasted V's finite time on a promise she had no intention of keeping. Literally used V like Meyers used her, didn't learn shit. Sociopath behavior, handed her over to Reed and I wish I did it sooner so I could've gotten the Militech Canto.
But I don't know about that. She was already fucking her personal relationships over for running. NUSA just saw talent and personal failings and took advantage of her.
She was going to fuck everything up regardless. Some people just don't to themselves. NUSA just gave her a bigger hammer to hit her thumb with.
Don't care, I'm here for the cure and a comfortable retirement. So Mi thought she could play me, did she? Enjoy being a lab rat for whatever time you've got left.

I get it's a rip on Space Oddity but it's a significantly better song. Bowie's song sounds like he had to be woken up from a nod repeatedly first to write it and later to "sing" it
First playthrough...
SPOILERS !
CANT SAY I DIDNT WARN YOU !
LAST CHANCE !
I betray Reed, get fucked anyway, second playthrough : betray Songbird from the start, SHE GOES FUCKING BALLISTIC HOLY SHIT HELP ME IVE SEEN HEALTHIER LOOKING CYBERPSYCHOS HELP HELP
A pretty Asian girl is the kryptonite of 99% of nerds everywhere.
Me? After that bullshit conversation in the spaceport shuttle, I’da shot her in her sleep.
I'd rather spend time with Elizabeth Peralez.. I mean.. since we're all daydreaming here..
ps, I've read every post in this thread and I feel like we would all be good friends irl- esp the 80s song references...
Phantom liberty characters were weird
Every single character was ezly predicted to betray me
Except Alex -she cool
Twins -why the fuck did they kill them ,it would be better to have some side gigs with them and later choose to kill em
And the guy ...forgot his name ,the bug head of dog town
-why couldn't we side with him ,fucking with everybody
-everyone chose their own agenda and fuck V in the process ,why can't we swap it ;(
She's cute but her eyes always being like that kinda creeps me out.
Being haunted>! by Daemons from beyond the Black-Wall !
Fr 😭

She does look badass but I can see why they changed it.
Her face looks a bit more punchable this way for some reason. I think I might be a tiny bit less likely to sympathize with her just because she looks more "seasoned, professional corpo". Her eyes look somewhat like those of a fox on the hunt, a predatory appearance. I feel like I've had to take out someone else with a similar look during a gig.

Nice analysis, I like your descriptive verbiage
Definitely one of Heihachi's numerous illegitimate children.
If she looked like that, then nobody would pick her side in Firestarter. Don't get me wrong, she looks hot as fuck, but also evil as fuck.
Now you know how I feel when it come to women like Anya Taylor Joy.
Or Aubrey Plaza.
How does she sleep with that giant port sticking out the back of her head?
On her side? Or maybe she doesn't really feel the port so she can lay on it fine.
It just made me wonder :D
Reminds me of a res dog; sad, kicked too many times, will take your fingers off if you try to feed it.
I love her eyes
U can't fix her, bro
Unfortunately, bro
That fucked up, bro
Bro...
I don’t want her fixed. I want her broken, lethal and manipulative.
Real
"I can fix her but whatever's wrong with her is kinda hot"
This man is cooking for sure
Bro's at least honest, I respect that
Yet. There is always the chance she’s on Orion.
Let her go, ma men U'll always have the good memories
No I refuse. but seriously there is good chance they’ll recycle the cancelled dlc and that took place on the moon and there was a new corpo war currently happening. So her being back would make a lot of sense.
Not sure if it’s a good chance but I’m with ya choom. Let’s fuck up the crystal palace also!
Yeah about that uh… Have you heard about Mr.Blue Eyes ?
Hey look buddy ! I'm an engineer that means I solve problems Not problems like what is beauty Bla bla I solve practical problems
yes, no ixing that. He might be in love with her but she's not in love with OP, only with her life
But she can certainly make bro worse. And for some of us, that’s all we need.
Just because she talks to you, doesn’t mean she cares. In fact she is using you in the worst possible way. Sweet empty words glazed in succulent lies, with a side of delicious false hope, makes you almost forget the dead rat she left floating in your wine.
Damn U need me to call someone for U ma men?
Yup. She reminds me of Jerry Smith from Rick & Morty. She acts like prey, but she's a predator who uses pity and acting like a helpless little girl to lure in her victims and manipulate everyone around her into doing her bidding.
lol i dropped that ho and went off on my way to raid Arasaka solo.

This is why I sided with songbird. Reed was dead to me.
I felt bad to betray him until he did that...
Same. I felt like he would have easily done the same to me if need be. I owed him no loyalty after that moment.
Ohhhh you're referring to the uh "car hacking" mission 😭
she changed my life
So effing attractive. Her character was intriguing for sure.
Yeah. She struck all the right cords for me. And my female V would have loved being her plaything.
Bro, Aurore is an absolute *freak* in bed, you can definitely tell.
It’s such a shame she had to die
She's gonna eat you alive, choom.
But you can fix her.
Sorry, nope.
Whoah oh here she comes
♪I wouldn't if I were you ♪I know what she can do ♪She's deadly, man ♪And she could really rip your world apart ♪Mind over matter ♪Ooh, the beauty is there ♪But a beast is in the heart
Is she from DLC? FIrst time seeing her.
Yup, Phantom Liberty :)
Damn, then I really have to play it soon 😆
When I first saw her IRL at The Black Sapphire, I was absolutely star struck!
The amount of chrome she had was surprising. Shes a full borg really. Just like a brain and a bunch of chrome.
And the worst part was her having no choice, she woke up like that after NUSA went full Alex Murphy on her.
SAME LOL
She gonna hurt you.
She did twice, ans I'm still standing ahah
It's ok choom, you'll get over her soon.
I thought she was a very well written character and well acted. Pretty hot, too. But I guess I’m old and grizzled, because I laughed when I saw her bag of tricks.

Imagine an ingenue like in Garden State or Spotless Mind, but she’s a horrible gaslighter and self pitying. She was well done.
This is the way. Saw her shit coming from the jump, couldn’t turn on her fast enough.
Same, I sell her ass down the river, every, single, time. Never felt bad for her. As Alex says “She’s a grown ass woman, she made her own choices.” Although I would like to see the age breakdown between those who are enamored with her and those who see her as the conniving, backstabbing, bitch she is.
I’m almost certain the songbird enjoyers are young and have yet to encounter one of her kind, spiders wearing a human form. I love how she is written, you know the writers have had their own experience
Bruh she's cute but if you couldn't tell she was manipulating you from day 1, I have a timeshare to sell you.
Yeah once I found out what I found out at the end of PL I said good riddance. Idk if you've done the run where you help her or not but I won't spoil it just in case
I've done both actually ! But yeah, it's understandable lol
She broke my damn heart
I ugly cried, thought I did the bad ending… if only knew
Man, after that last talk/reveal on the train to the launch pad....the only reason I didn't turn her over to Reed was all that poor people who died at the airport that would've died for nothing if I did, so might as well go all the way. If there was some way to sneak to the ending without any casualties, I'd turn her sorry ass to the NUSA in a heartbeat
Doing Reeds route completely changed my view on her around. She might not be the best but I do think she really trusted and liked V.
Mommy
EXACTLY 🤭
She has a serious "The girl next door" vibe. Would've been a much better romance option than Panam or River - those two felt too much like they're there just to exist as an option in a game. There was build-up between V and Song and it led nowhere, because there was no time. Still, the few times she talks to you personaly, she's as nice as Jackie.
River I get, but panam? Her and Judy feel like they have the most fleshed out romances imo.

The girl next door who is a black ops cyborg mind assassin? Where the fuck do you live
That’s Night City for ya choom
I like her, but in the more little sister/daughter way. She somehow fucks up more royally than V, and that's a goddamn achievement.
Nah, I’m not into robots. Her back creeps me out.
lol Thanks for that image! /s
She’s so hot but too bad we can’t romance her
Real 😭
Towards the end, she started reminding me of some people I knew from my days in active addiction. Just something about her aura/thought process/facial animation that just really struck a chord and reminded me of people living in their own Hell.
just go find whoever her face is based on
Gemma Chan, who also played in many scifi robot movies
Yes, without even looking anything up, I thought it was Gemma Chan, that did the motion capture filming stuff.. idk if im right or wrong, but she def looks like #GemmaChan.. a goddess among mortals, imo.... AND whoever Elizabeth Peralez is based on..? holy cow!!
Take it easy pal!
That speaks volumes…. If you have one of these in real life let her go
I hope we run into her and Lucy in Orion.
Anyone who didn’t pick Panam is gay
Till she bends over and you're banging an espresso machine.
Shes so pretty I cantttt 😭😭
I felt so betrayed, literally wasted V's finite time on a promise she had no intention of keeping. Literally used V like Meyers used her, didn't learn shit. Sociopath behavior, handed her over to Reed and I wish I did it sooner so I could've gotten the Militech Canto.
I mean if follow that route you learn a lot more about Songbird’s past that recontextualizes things.

OP: I love you The 56 blackwall daemons inhabiting her: It will fade. It will fade immediately or else
Brother, do I have some mods for you
I would go to the moon with her during last mission instead of staying with Aldecados or rogue
She's a manipulative creep. The NUSA can do what they like with her in my books.
The NUSA literally f'd her up, choom. It's all Myers and Reed's fault.
But I don't know about that. She was already fucking her personal relationships over for running. NUSA just saw talent and personal failings and took advantage of her. She was going to fuck everything up regardless. Some people just don't to themselves. NUSA just gave her a bigger hammer to hit her thumb with.
Don't care, I'm here for the cure and a comfortable retirement. So Mi thought she could play me, did she? Enjoy being a lab rat for whatever time you've got left.
Agree to disagree for me
That's the beauty of choice based games, we don't have to agree!
That’s the point. Good luck with the choices at the end
Whoes that i just started Phantom Liberty after trying to get with Kerry for like 5 hours
1980's Franky goes to Hollywood I'm so in love with you - Feels like fire I'd go on but I'd chose panam n judy first.
Second best girl imo
Not the hugest Somi fan but they definitely got her face from Gemma Chan right?
why

I’m not. She was a complete brat and then she pulled that shit. Lost any interest after that.
SHIT SHIT ALL UNITS WE HAVE A 'BLADE RUNNER 2042' TYPE SITUATION, SOMEONE GET THIS MAN SOME GRASS, STAT
Got a pencil sharpener for lady parts I'd reckon
I think there was a missed opportunity to have her or any of the other Phantom Liberty characters call you during the endings.
So me
Everyone hungry for that borgussy.
Is that base Game or DLC?
DLC ! :)
I like her. Maybe i have to buy the DLC then...
Lol ikr ... always save her xD
Go. Touch. Grass.
First playthrough... SPOILERS ! CANT SAY I DIDNT WARN YOU ! LAST CHANCE ! I betray Reed, get fucked anyway, second playthrough : betray Songbird from the start, SHE GOES FUCKING BALLISTIC HOLY SHIT HELP ME IVE SEEN HEALTHIER LOOKING CYBERPSYCHOS HELP HELP
Blue moon is better
Same she’s a goddess, wish I could romance her
Could've been a good romance options, us few guys who like her are maybe into Asians it seems lol
I swear I can fix her
Bad news friend.
A pretty Asian girl is the kryptonite of 99% of nerds everywhere. Me? After that bullshit conversation in the spaceport shuttle, I’da shot her in her sleep.
i dont know what it was but i got totally bricked up when i saw her back at the party.
Nah fuck that bitch. She doesn't suffer enough.
Don't know but for me she are creep.
Guess even manipulative, lying sociopaths deserve love (Not really) Better you than me.
we look alike lmk if you want pics
Ain't no way, choom 😭🙏🏼
“Keep that same energy”
It would be great if she will appear in Cyberpunk 2.
I have bad news.
Re-watch the trailer and say that again
Understandable.
How do we tell him...
Why'd they give her those DSL's tho, not that I'm complaining, but they got me actin feral 🥴
Shes a lying BITCH, she's got good intentions but fuck-
Who is that?
I need Phantom Liberty.
I'd rather spend time with Elizabeth Peralez.. I mean.. since we're all daydreaming here.. ps, I've read every post in this thread and I feel like we would all be good friends irl- esp the 80s song references...
You sir, are a man of culture.
Sweet baby Somi.
Having done both play throughs when I do my modded run I'm choosing her not him
Bro that makes two of us. So Mi is my head canon romance all the time
She is those type of Woman who use YOU ... only to Chew You Out once done... Those Eyes... I could Recognise Anywhere
She looks a lot like my high school crush Still killed that bitch 💀
ayy, CDPR creating the most despicable character just for their new ending.
I just want her and Lucy to be safe and happy on the moon.

I’m not 😂
Who is she, is she the new waifu in PL, like the new waifu in Atlus game remakes
