The newly hatred driven Velvet gets her opportunity to go after her target after a bloody prison break, to find that her ultimate tragedy, might have led to the salvation of the world. Velvet Crowe, initially a caring young woman doing her best to care for her brother in a world overrun by daemons, has her life forever altered three years prior to the events of the story by a trusted mentor, as she loses everything, becomes a daemon and gets locked up as the world is changed drastically. Ultimately, the setup and many of the story beats of Berseria can be seen a mile away. What are the limits of moral acceptability when it comes to saving the world? How far should you go in the pursuit of revenge, no matter how deeply wronged? The Tales series is often accused of wielding its motifs with all the subtlety of a toddler with a megaphone, and while Berseria often does fall into that trap as well, it’s ultimately the morality of the well realized cast that makes the game and story more fun than it has any right to be.
