#faruzan

Yelan propaganda:

Both Citlali and Faruzan act like they've been alive for a long time; treating the other adult characters like children, making outdated references etc. It makes sense for Citlali because she really has lived for centuries. I've said it once and I'll say it till I'm blue in the face: it's fine for two characters to have similar traits/motifs/gimmicks. It's all about how the characters are presented and what they bring to the table.

It starts to fall apart however, when Faruzan tells us about her time in the domain. Specifically when she mentions blacking out and having no memories of that time. So how could she have developed the "granny" attitude if she herself didn't notice the passage of time? (She also didn't have anybody to interact with during this time, truly putting her in stasis.)

To me, her experience is more in-line with a coma patient who's lost a chunk of their life, only to wake up and discover everything is radically different. I really appreciate the hangout quest route where she finds the self repairing robot and the letter from her mother. It truly highlights how isolated and "out of time" she is. Every thing she once knew and love was gone, and all she could do is adapt and cope.
