A thread to discuss your thoughts on the world and cast of Galaxy Princess Zorana! If getting into secrets and lore, please use ROT13.

I really love the setting of this game - I'm not normally big into sci-fi, but this totally won me over. One of the things I'm most impressed with is how it manages to keep the world completely LGBTQ inclusive while also maintaining the drama and intrigue of political marriages. I also like how each of the different cultures we can meet have their own takes on gender, sexuality, social taboos, etc etc. 

I've also grown very fond of a lot of our off-screen fiances. Those who we never get to personally interact with, but we learn about through their parents and their epilogues. Carjer, Wendell, and Phaere are my favorites.

Finally - I don't know what it means, exactly, but I've been noticing a lot of connections between Zorana and shoes. The very first lines of dialogue we get from her are about how she broke a shoe, the ending screen if you die has a shoe on it, you get a pair of shoes for you birthday... 

Absolutely adore the worldbuilding - the reason why Long Live the Queen is one of my favorite games ever, and why this will definitely be one once I finally solve the plot threads, lol. 

One of the interesting things about fantasies set in space is the necessary question of colonisation, what staking claims to moons and stars and their surrounding areas entails and whether it has any difference from the equivalent practice on Earth, and I love the way the Heru are written to that end. Apologies if I'm hugely misreading your game HanakoGames!

I feel like LLTQ didn't get too much into monarchy vs. common people beyond a few short dialogue boxes and Elodie's occasional Marie Antoinette moments, but I definitely think there's a lot more to think through here. Also love the Maus' spirituality, such a cute little cat reference. Another excellent game full of pieces to look into.  

The details we get about marriage/family/cloning in the Empire are so cool. There's no single infodump, but you accumulate information little by little until you have a distinct sci-fi scheme with a very clear logic to it

I finally figured out (nine runs into the game) that a certain key Elector is supposed to be a pastiche, or at least a strong echo, of Boris Johnson.

As for the shoe thing, there's also a quote about the shoe being on the other foot.
