[ Potential Cardcaptor Sakura Crossover ]
The Chinese server believes that Identity V may be getting a Cardcaptor Sakura crossover in the future—a collaboration with CLAMP, the creators of the beloved series (who NetEase previously worked with for the xxxHOLiC crossover in the game years ago)—as there are several hints pointing in that direction.
One of the most significant indications comes from NetEase's other game, Onmyoji, which recently got a Cardcaptor Sakura crossover on the Chinese server, showing that the relationship between CLAMP and NetEase is still active. Additionally, Cardcaptor Sakura was one of the works mentioned in that Chinese-exclusive survey from years ago, asking some players if they were familiar with any of the listed works, suggesting that it's been on their radar for quite some time. Furthermore, earlier this year, Sakura Kinomoto, the protagonist of the Cardcaptor Sakura series, was featured in the Joker Studio’s Chinese New Year Greetings artwork, which could be a subtle teaser or at least a nod toward a potential crossover.
All these clues together make it increasingly likely that an Identity V x Cardcaptor Sakura crossover could be in the works—or at the very least, it's something the developers may be considering.
As for the casting, fans have been speculating that Meteorologist could be Sakura Kinomoto, "Knight" could be Syaoran Li, Journalist could be Tomoyo Daidouji, Antiquarian could be Meiling Li, Seer could be Eriol Hiiragizawa, Wu Chang could be Yue (as the White Guard) and Yukito Tsukishiro (as the Black Guard), Geisha could be Nakuru Akizuki (as the Beauty Form) and Ruby Moon (as the Prajna Form), and Hermit could be Clow Reed.
If these guesses turn out to be true, it would make for one of the most visually and thematically fitting crossovers in the game's history—the character pairings line up surprisingly well with their roles and personalities.
