New mod idea: replace Johnny with Miku Hatsune. Turns out Saburo Arasaka was just a massive Vocaloid fanboy, and Yorinobu's rebellion was all about "Ugh, you're embarrassing me in front of all the cool kids, you antediluvian weeb."Joking aside, I would play the absolute shit out of an adventure game where your augmented-reality buddy cop partner is a slightly flickery, somewhat jaded Miku engram who escaped from the System and wants to topple megacorps. Like, the version from the "Sand Planet" video. That would work perfectly.
You wouldn't even have to mess around with the dialogue that much.

What the hell is this?
MIKU
What's it look like? Brancesi, 2021, Untitled No. 18. Oil on canvas. Sheesh.
V
What the hell was it doing on the moon?
MIKU
What else? Some bougie prick hung it on his wall. Half the Louvre's floating around in space.
V
You ever been?
MIKU
Uh... I didn't actually get paid when I was a big-time idol. Like... at all.
V
Oh, right.
