Tales of Berseria is the sixteenth mainline entry in the Tales Series, and a Distant Prequel to Tales of Zestiria. The game was released on August 18th, 2016 in Japan. It received an international release on January 24th, 2017 in North America and January 27th, 2017 in Europe. It is available on PS3note Japan-only, due to the waning popularity of the format outside of the Japanese market, PS4, and PC. It is the first Mothership Tales title to have a female protagonist (who is not sharing the position with a male protagonist).Many hundreds of years before the events of Zestiria, the continent of Midgand suffered under a terrible curse called "Daemonblight". Ordinary humans and animals became possessed by evil spirits and were transformed into bloodthirsty monsters that preyed upon the living. That was until the day a saviour named Artorius Collbrande appeared and united the world against the bestial hordes that threatened to destroy it. Wielding a holy sword and a philosophy of "reason over emotion", Artorius causes the Advent of angelic malakhim into the world, and leads the Exorcists of "The Abbey" in a crusade to eradicate Daemonblight once and for all.Yet in a dark prison cell far from human contact lies a woman named Velvet Crowe, whose peaceful life was shattered three years ago in one of the "Scarlet Nights" that used to inspire terror the world over - the same night the rest of the world knows as the Advent. Velvet knows the terrible truth of how Artorius gained his divine strength during that Scarlet Night, an incident that twisted her left arm with daemonic power, left dark scars upon her former kindness... and left her bereaved of her little brother. One night, a mysterious woman, who Velvet suspects she knows, visits her cell. The woman has a proposal: if Velvet can escape from the prison, the woman will help her take revenge upon Artorius. With burning hatred in her heart, Velvet embarks on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge that threatens to uproot and revolutionize the world order.Gameplay contains most Tales staples like cooking, percentage-based healing items, skits and a real-time combat system with shades of Stylish Action mechanics. However, several variations have been introduced, particularly in combat. While most former Tales games had one button for physical attacks and another for "Artes," Berseria borrows from the Tales of Graces and Tales of Zestiria combat system, where all attacks are technically Artes, divided between "Martial" Artes (the replacement for physical attacks) and Arcane Artes (magic). There are some changes from the previous games' system, however; players may bring sixteen of these attacks into battle, assigning them to a grid which deploys a different skill depending on which button you press, which can be chained for up to four inputs. Combos are limited by the "Soul Gauge," which by default has three souls in it. Souls are temporarily consumed when attacking, but regenerate quickly. The three-Soul Cap can be raised by stunning or slaying foes, to a maximum of five — but note that enemies can do this to you as well, potentially leaving you Cherry Tapping away with only one Soul's worth of Artes to use. Finally, the cap can be lowered by one to use a Limit Break called a "Break Soul," which are special attacks and abilities unique to each party member. For example, Velvet's Break Soul grants her a Super Mode which increases her damage output, allows her to perform combo finishers called Break Artes, and makes her immune to staggering, but causes her HP to gradually drop overtime through continued use. Break Souls cannot be used if the character has less than 3 Souls, but can help increase the length of combos. The game brings back the Blast Gauge mechanic from Zestiria, but adds a second element called a "Switch Blast," a Switch-Out Move that consumes one Soul but can also be used to continue combos. | |

Bloodless Carnage | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: Averted, which is unusual for a Tales Series main title. Velvet is shown killing a daemon, and the blood splatter splashes onto her cheek during the Scarlet Night. Several other characters who are close to death also have Blood from the Mouth or bloody noses, and characters who die from slashing or stabbing injuries show visible bloody cuts and gashes on their bodies. | |

Plot-Triggering Death | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_13e1c444 | comment |
Plot-Triggering Death: The whole story only happens because Velvet's little brother Laphicet is killed as a Human Sacrifice by the Big Bad during the Advent, setting up for her quest for Revenge. It ultimately turns out the real death that triggered all this is Celica Crowe dying in the Opening, aka Artorius Collbrande's wife back when he was "Arthur". Since she was pregnant at the time, her and Arthur's unborn son was used as the first sacrifice to unlock part of the seal on Innominat. And then Melchior showed up and encouraged Artorius to take the first steps to his vision of "order" and "reason." | |

Fake Longevity | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_14184bc7 | comment |
Fake Longevity: The endgame sidequests can be very time-consuming because of the lack of objective markers note (completing one step in a sidequest will often not technically begin the next, making the player manually check every area map for an event bubble), the excessive amount of events in Stonebury note (the only major settlement that can't be accessed via the normal travel network, requiring Back Tracking or not-cheap Inoph bottles to jump to), and good old-fashioned arbitrary NPC placement note (the Bloodwings, a group constantly noted for having agents everywhere and their incredible efficiency, has the contact you need to trigger the final step of Rokurou's quest on a different landmass from where she sends you for no reason whatsoever). | |

Heroic BSoD: Velvet undergoes one during the Wham Episode. It's revealed that Velvet's brother Laphicet willingly chose to die on the Scarlet Night where he was sacrificed in order to become Innominat's vessel. Therefore, all of Velvet's talk of vengeance and her reasons for committing the atrocities that she did now have no justification beyond her being a heartless monster. And this is what Innominat was hoping would happen, because he wants to break Velvet mentally and let her be consumed. Lucky for Velvet that her teammates snap her out of it. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The Tales series is no stranger to dark themes and tragic characters, but Berseria sets a much different tone than both its immediate predecessor and the series itself, featuring a tale of revenge rather than a quest to save the world or rescue a loved one. The fact that Artorius is leading a organization that has enslaved malakhim and plans to rob humanity of their emotions and free will is secondary to Velvet's desire for avenge her brother's death, and the party is largely assembled because it benefits them to do so, to the point that their most moral members are the ones who were recruited as hostages. Magilou, at one point, even calls the party "a group of villains". | |

| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: During one Inn skit, Eleanor has been shut out of her and Velvet's room with Velvet refusing her entry for an extended period of time. When the others come to investigate, Eleanor says that she doesn't know what Velvet is up to all by herself, but she can hear heavy breathing and moaning. It turns out that Velvet's just cleaning the room, the breathing coming from her breathing on the windows while cleaning them, and the moaning being her disgust at the room's unkempt demeanor. | |

| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_156864b1 | comment |
Encounter Repellant: In addition to the Tales Series staple of the Holy Bottle, the Geobard also serves this function. While riding it, touching weaker enemies will instantly remove them from the overworld map without needing to fight them. The catch is that you don't get any experience, money, or Grade for doing this. | |

Peninsula of Power Leveling | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_16972b3c | comment |
Peninsula of Power Leveling: Due to the encounter link system this trope can happen at just about any point in the game after it's unlocked. Getting two enemies next to each other on the field and then engaging them will cause both groups to attack the party at once, in greater numbers than they would alone. This provides a bonus to experience, gald, grade and drop rates, which allows each fight to give much greater rewards than fighting either group alone. Limiting fighting to these link battles makes it extremely easy to be several levels above any given boss for most of the game. | |

Genre Savvy | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_1777688d | comment |
Genre Savvy: After Velvet becomes "The Lord of Calamity" in-universe, stories about her begin spreading among the populace. Many of them describe her as some sort of Eldritch Abomination, and there's a lot of misinformation as a result. It's a natural consequence of a world without instant communication. Velvet uses this to her advantage by using the confusion to move about cities freely. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: The Twelve Year Sickness. A rare ailment that induces gradually worsening fevers in children every twelve days, until their twelfth year of age, in which they finally succumb to their illness. They all die exactly on their twelfth birthdays. This is the reason why Velvet's younger brother willingly offered himself as the sacrifice to Innominat. A cure does in fact exist known as the cure-all Omega Elixir. The book containing it was taken to Videl, whom Laphicet cures. The Corsair's Scourge is a fatal disease caught upon the seas, where the body first undergoes a high fever and eventually falls apart like sand in the later and final stages. Drinking water helps to stall the symptoms from spreading. The cure made from the flower Sale'tomah requires larger doses in the later stages and is known for its disgusting taste. The petals are "thousands of times stronger than mint", and the leaves and stem are "richer than the richest beef tongue", and the flavors clash so hard that your whole body feels the pain. The absurdity of both these illnesses is pointed out. Magilou even notes the Twleve Year Sickness sounds more like a curse than a disease. | |

| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_1a5bba2b | comment |
Artistic License – Geology: The continents that form the setting of Tales of Berseria will eventually merge together to form the supercontinent of Glenwood, the setting of Tales of Zestiria, over a span of 1000 years. Not millions of years, one-thousand years. However, this is justified and hand waved by Eizen, who claims that plate tectonics will be accelerated when the Four Elemental Empyreans awaken from their slumber. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: The entire plot of the game is caused by the failure to explain that Laphicet volunteered to be the sacrifice to Innominat because he knew his days were numbered anyway. Best case: Velvet accepts Laphicet's decision and that's one less problem for Artorious to worry about, alongside Artorius having a a family member to act as a Morality Chain. Worst case: Velvet goes on looking for revenge anyway, but she will almost certainly have to take into account the fact that her brother was not a helpless victim, slowing her down and making her seem less justified. | |

Villain Ball: Towards the end of the game, the party enacts a plan to lure the final two praetors to her location so that she can kill them and offer their souls to resurrect the four Empyreans. For some reason Melchior still decides to go. Even after being aware what the party is planning, decides to stick around and give them a chance anyway, instead of simply leaving, because they already had their victory secured, and Velvet needed every part of her plan to go perfectly in order to stand a chance of stopping Innominat. | |

Advanced Ancient Humans: The Avarost civilization was more technologically advanced than anything found in Berseria or even Zestiria. The Temperance of Avarost is the time mentioned to be when their nation fell, leaving behind books written in their language. Their culture also formed a language that emphasised emotion when speaking and writing, making the same words have different meaning depending on the emotion of the writer. | |

Framing Device: The novelization depicts the game's events as a story being told by Laphicet to Sorey, one thousand years in the future, after the events of Tales of Zestiria where Sorey has sealed himself away with him in order to purify his corruption by malevolence. As a result, the game's events are all told from Laphicet's point of view, skipping Velvet's prologue and escape from Titania. | |

Fishing Minigame | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_1e1d10ee | comment |
Fishing Minigame: It has one, but it's generally considered the weakest "mini-game" in the game. As described by one player "You basically select the bait and the RNG decides which fish you get." For the record, there are three different types of bait, which can be obtained through random sparkly spots throughout the game, but even then, it's still a random chance, and you don't actually do anything other than choose a bit and then sit back. Each spot has a "Guardian" which you can get as a key item, but there's really little point to it, other than to possibly pick up a few additional items to help gain an achievement / trophy for unique items. | |

Byronic Hero | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_1fd2efc9 | comment |
It deconstructs the Byronic Hero by showing how violent and merciless such a person might actually be if they focused only on their passions. Velvet certainly is passionate about her revenge and she has every reason to feel like she has to avenge her brother, but she won't ever stop talking about it and commits several atrocities in the name of that vengeance. She also doesn't really like that she has to go so far as to kill people or ruin the lives of so many innocents, which makes her feel immense guilt for having to do so. When Velvet learns her brother was killed in a Mercy Kill and allowed it, she nearly breaks because now her justification is gone and only gets out of it by her friends. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Laphicet copied one of Arthur's books at the beginning, and sold it to buy a comb for Velvet. Turns out this book is the key to understand Artorius' true intents. The comb Laphicet buys Velvet in the beginning of the game? Velvet uses it as a feint against Innominat in the final battle. Really hits home given that her brother is Innominat's vessel. | |

In the final battle, Velvet tells Artorius the same thing just as she delivers the death blow, reminding him that it was something he once told her long ago. | |

Reused Character Design | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_277686f2 | comment |
Reused Character Design: There are plenty of jokes about Velvet being related to the Gilchrists/Katreas or to Milla. Laphicet bears a strong resemblance with Emil Castagnier appearance wise, but also bears a resemblance towards Edna in terms of hairstyle due to Edna and Laphicet having the same character designer. | |

Incorruptible Pure Pureness | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_289008dc | comment |
Incorruptible Pure Pureness is given a look as well. The Exorcists of the Abbey are all pure of heart, which is why they can make pacts with malakhim, and are able to fight off daemons without falling to them. However, due to the organization's goals and teachings, those who become Exorcists justify their actions by logic. This ends up making them cold, heartless, and borderline sociopaths in how they operate. They'll do things like execute a Daemon regardless of how much of its humanity remains and use their malakhim as mere tools to be used and discarded as needed. As a result, while they are pure of heart and are trying to protect people, they become easy to manipulate by the higher ups, and commit horrible acts due to the teachings of the Abbey, causing them to be almost no better than the very daemons they fight against. It also means that, when challenged, their purity falls apart, and they become monsters. | |

Daemons are created through the disease daemonblight, but unlike Zestiria where Hellions tend to go insane or turn evil when transformed, numerous people from Velvet, Rokurou, and their allies retain or regain their sanity. Only dragons being mindless beasts. | |

Limit Break | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_2afb1a9 | comment |
The game allows you to chain Mystic Artes together should you use one, as long as each character has enough BG to use one. Also, the Mystic Artes progressively increase in level, and this can last until you either choose to stop or run out of BG to use any more. You can even keep going after your target has run out of HP (indicated by a "Crush!" graphic), just in case you feel like going ham on your enemy. However, the game doesn't even hint that chaining Mystic Artes together is possible. | |

Deconstructor Fleet | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_30c40e9a | comment |
Deconstructor Fleet: Berseria takes the trope of What Is One Man's Life In Comparison? from the opposing end. To Velvet, the ends did not justify the means, and is a massive source of heartache and rage. It deconstructs the Byronic Hero by showing how violent and merciless such a person might actually be if they focused only on their passions. Velvet certainly is passionate about her revenge and she has every reason to feel like she has to avenge her brother, but she won't ever stop talking about it and commits several atrocities in the name of that vengeance. She also doesn't really like that she has to go so far as to kill people or ruin the lives of so many innocents, which makes her feel immense guilt for having to do so. When Velvet learns her brother was killed in a Mercy Kill and allowed it, she nearly breaks because now her justification is gone and only gets out of it by her friends. The Villain with Good Publicity trope is examined for the "publicity" part especially. In spite of saving the world, Velvet is remembered as a monster, and Artorius is remembered as a hero. Velvet doesn't get a happy ending as the result of the Abbey rewriting history to remember her only as the Lord of Calamity. It's helped along by the fact Velvet really did several terrible things in order to kill Artorius, like destroying an entire town's livelihood and killing innocent people. The game also deconstructs The Needs of the Many, showing it's a dehumanizing philosophy that suppresses even the smallest freedoms and results in poor quality of life for the individual person because said philosophy only focuses on the masses. Being willing and able to enforce such a system inherently means a leader has No Sympathy and sees people as numbers, not living things. The Abbey's good PR isn't a natural result of their efforts, but a necessary façade to stop the people realizing how abhorrent these laws actually are. Additionally, the Midgand imperial family already took this philosophy to the extreme before the Abbey took over, as shown by how Prince Percival is treated as an institution to serve the state rather than a human being. Incorruptible Pure Pureness is given a look as well. The Exorcists of the Abbey are all pure of heart, which is why they can make pacts with malakhim, and are able to fight off daemons without falling to them. However, due to the organization's goals and teachings, those who become Exorcists justify their actions by logic. This ends up making them cold, heartless, and borderline sociopaths in how they operate. They'll do things like execute a Daemon regardless of how much of its humanity remains and use their malakhim as mere tools to be used and discarded as needed. As a result, while they are pure of heart and are trying to protect people, they become easy to manipulate by the higher ups, and commit horrible acts due to the teachings of the Abbey, causing them to be almost no better than the very daemons they fight against. It also means that, when challenged, their purity falls apart, and they become monsters. Fallen Hero is deconstructed by Artorius. Artorius fell into despair when Celica died and stepped into the role of a villain from a story perspective after that moment, but unlike most examples of this trope where the Fallen Hero becomes the complete antithesis to what they believed in, Artorius never truly lost sight of his ideals. He still wanted to save everyone, especially his family. However, due to how much loss he suffered, he decided the world could not be saved as it is, and concluded that to save the world, mankind's freewill needed to be removed. With that, he became The Stoic in order to remain in control despite nearly crossing the Despair Event Horizon. As a result, he lacks any humanizing traits such as empathy or feelings, and runs off of pure logic, leading him to becoming a cold rallying symbol for the world, but one who lacked any hope for it, which leads him to commit horrible acts. | |

Unicorns Prefer Virgins | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_34a592b6 | comment |
Unicorns Prefer Virgins: Played with. When the party finds a unicorn horn they need, Magilou stops Laphicet from picking it up, stating it will lose its powers if handled by anyone other than a pure maiden. The party gets into a heated debate about their respective eligibilities until Eizen, sick of the farce, picks it up and explains it's a perfectly mundane narwhal horn. Magilou chews him out for spoiling her fun. | |

You Should Have Died Instead: Before he dies, Artorius tells Velvet that he wished she and Laphicet had died instead of Celica. Velvet solemnly notes that the same thing would have happened regardless of who dies, as Arthur's Chronic Hero Syndrome would have driven him to avenge Velvet and Laphicet's deaths anyway even if Celica and her unborn child live instead. | |

Lethal Chef: Eizen is this game's. While nowhere near Raine Sage's level, Eizen surely isn't the best in the party. Because of the Reaper's Curse, he is unable to flip meat or else it will land back on the already-cooked side, pancakes will always be burnt on one side and perfect on the other, he states that eggs are impossible, and mini-pizzas will end up face down on the floor if he isn't careful about how he holds them. Velvet suggests using a spatula, but Eizen states he still has pride. | |

Armatization returns in this game, except the Awful Truth is revealed that it was an experimental arte formed by Melchior to fuse human and malak, and it had unfortunate consequences because the users were not truly synchronized.

Not the Fall That Kills You…: Subverted. Early in the game, Velvet jumps off a cliff to escape the prison she's being held in, using her demonic arm as a brake. The subversion comes from her holding her arm afterwards and visibly and audibly shoves it back into place, using the cliffside as leverage. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Because of the emphasis on Item Crafting, Titles which increase item drop rates are incredibly useful — especially because you don't find many crafting reagents out in the world; your main source of them is breaking down extra pieces of equipment. In the endgame, Adamantine gear is the strongest "common" tier of gear available to the player. Since they're easier to farm than Rarity 19-21 gear, they're also easier to enhance, making them ideal for activating Armory Acerite bonuses. | |

Foregone Conclusion | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_3bc88a7f | comment |
Foregone Conclusion: Though set very far apart, the game is still a prequel to Zestiria, so some story connections establish future events in advance. Humans will somehow lose the ability to see Malakhim (who will become known as Seraphim) and the malevolence caused by the Daemonblight will spread without a cure (eventually becoming an epidemic come Zestiria's Age of Chaos). Once we see Eizen's sister is Edna, it tells his eventual fate is to become a dragon. Artorius, regardless of his status as the Big Bad, eventually becomes worshiped as a Seraph and his shrine is used by Maotelus and many other power Seraphs. Laphicet as Maotelus eventually becomes corrupted by Malevolence thanks to the Shepherd Michael regardless of what the party tries to do to help him. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Artorius and the Exorcist order are defeated and the world is saved from Innominat turning people into emotionless husks... but Laphicet (who is now called Maotelus) chooses to become an Empyrean alongside Teresa, Oscar, Shigure, and Melchior (now the four elemental Empyreans Musiphe, Hyanoa, Eumacia, and Amenoch, respectively) to stop the spread of malevolence while Velvet seals away Innominat to stop him and be with the little brother she still loves. Eleanor becomes a Shepherd to lead the people, while Magilou and Rokurou are left to walk the earth. Humans lose the ability to naturally see malakhim (who are subsequently called seraphim) and the two races come to distance themselves from each other, with Eizen remaining with Aifread's pirates despite them no longer being able to see him. Malevolence and its threat still exists, however, and the world must continue to battle with the emotions that reside in people's hearts lest they be corrupted. In addition, those who played Tales Of Zestiria know that the tragic fate of Van Aifread and the death of Zaveid's girlfriend-turned-dragon transforms Zaveid from an idealist and pacifist to a cynic who believes killing hellions and dragons is a mercy; Eizen becomes a dragon and is ultimately put down by Edna and the Zestiria party; and Laphicet/Maotelus eventually becomes corrupted by malevolence until being purified at the end of the game. | |

Later, the party visits the town to find that it has recovered and everyone survived, but it turns out it was just one of Melchior's illusions, and the town remained uninhabited for three years. | |

Either "World Domination", or Something About Bananas | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_410f55a2 | comment |
Either "World Domination", or Something About Bananas: The ancient Avarost language has a grammar which is nothing like the current language and often requires a keen sense of intuition and unusual leaps of logic in order to truly understand the meaning, as well as sometimes reordering the words. When Laphicet and Grimoirh are trying to figure out the Avarost in an ancient book, Grimoirh finds herself particularly stumped by a line which, if translated literally, states "The parent hates tomatoes, the child eggplants." | |

Stripperific | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_430e15e1 | comment |
Stripperific: Velvet's outfit, which is comprised of a long cape and Too Many Belts. Justified because she had to throw it together from what she could find in an armor storage room, and her previous clothing had been torn to shreds by three years of constant abuse. Later on, Velvet says that she isn't changing clothes because that's not a concern for her. | |

Heroes Prefer Swords | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_43555d33 | comment |
Heroes Prefer Swords: Played with. The playable characters in Berseria are officially Anti Heroes and Affably Evil. Therefore, none of them use swords, a first for a Tales Mothership title. Velvet gets the closest, wielding a long blade hidden in her bracer in conjunction with her legs and daemonic arm; Rokurou also has a BFS, but wields it only in cut scenes, preferring instead to stick to Dual Wielding long knives since that's what he knows better. | |

No Guy Wants an Amazon: In the prologue, Laphicet worries in his journal that Velvet's athletic prowess could make it difficult for her to land a husband. Averted with Laphicet the malak. The skits have the characters toy with him and reveal he's not unfazed at liking older women. | |

You All Look Familiar: Velvet looks a little too much like a black-haired Milla. Some have joked she's the daughter of Milla and Jude. Eleanor looks so similar to Rose that it has lead to speculation that she might be her ancestor. She also looks very similar to Rommy, another character working for a Corrupt Church. | |

Selfless Wish: The Harbinger of the End pits Velvet and the others against Jude and Milla from Tales Of Xillia in a battle of fates. If Jude and Milla win, then they go back to their world and the world of Velvet and the others is destroyed. If Velvet and the others win, they get one wish, or more specifically, Velvet does, as she's asked to speak for the group as the leader. She wishes for Jude and Milla to go back to their world. "You said you have things to do back home, right? That's why." The Harbinger asks if she's certain, noting he can grant anything her heart desires, including the power to turn back time. She replies that she won't run away. At this point, he says that he senses no malice in her answer, so their world won't be destroyed.]] | |

No Hugging, No Kissing: This is one of the few Tales games without any form of romantic subplot amongst the main characters. While there is some flirting between Velvet and Rokurou in the animation, and a few skits where Velvet watches Rokurou practice swordplay with his shirt off, it never goes anywhere beyond that. Most of the love is depicted as familial love. | |

Our Angels Are Different | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_4977559e | comment |
Our Angels Are Different: The malakhim retain many of the traits they had from Zestiria, but now most have been stripped of their free will and degraded into Slave Mook Slave Race of the Abbey. They also vary more widely in appearance than just humans, animals, and normins. Now some appear looking very similar to monsters, with the only difference being the dragon mask they all wear. Zui Fuu, from the EX Dungeon, is a blue/white winged rappig. The more monstrous appearing Malakhim all belong to the Abbey and in the late game a sidequest reveals that the Abbey is running experiments on Malakhim, even combining them into one which would certainly explain why there are rather monstrous Malakhim here. Katz are said to be a type of malakhim. Unlike normal malaks they have physical bodies and their souls can leave them, which Velvet can collect as Katz spirits. | |

Gory Discretion Shot: The game doesn't show Artorious cutting off Velvet's arm during the Scarlet Night. Artorius swings his sword, and the camera cuts to Velvet screaming and falling without showing her arm. The camera stays away from Velvet's stump until she becomes a daemon and grows a new arm. Even in a wide shot, Velvet's arm is concealed by magic swirling around her. | |

Be Yourself: Although never stated this way directly, this idea lies at the heart of the creed followed by the characters and they are fighting against a force that would turn everyone into unthinking creatures without any personality. "In my heart is a flame I could not extinguish even if I wanted to. To live as you are, and to be true to yourself." | |

Reduced-Downtime Features | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_4d1e5c25 | comment |
Reduced-Downtime Features: Although players can use artes or items to heal themselves during or after battles, or use the cooking system that returns from previous titles, the primary way healing is done is via Break Arts, which not only extend a combo but also heal a significant portion of a character's health. This system allows the player to heal themselves naturally through careful and proper gameplay. Also, artes don't use MP, instead being usable as long as the player has met certain conditions and completes the casting time. These features mean it's possible to move from battle to battle with little to no downtime at all. | |

Crystalline Creature: The Spectral Crystal is a Code Red Daemon made out of multi-colored gemstones, and this plays into the gimmick of its fight: it's a Nigh-Invulnerable Stone Wall with very high defense stats and resistances to all damage types outside of easy difficulty. It's a Puzzle Boss where you need to find a solution to get around its defenses, since, unlike other Code Red Daemons, it won't put up much of a fight due to having low HP and attack stats. | |

Hidden Mechanic | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_50e66473 | comment |
Hidden Mechanic: The game allows you to chain Mystic Artes together should you use one, as long as each character has enough BG to use one. Also, the Mystic Artes progressively increase in level, and this can last until you either choose to stop or run out of BG to use any more. You can even keep going after your target has run out of HP (indicated by a "Crush!" graphic), just in case you feel like going ham on your enemy. However, the game doesn't even hint that chaining Mystic Artes together is possible. Healing spells are affected by SG quantity and other effects that are neither intuitive nor explained. Under the wrong circumstances, it's totally possible for even the strongest spells to heal pitiful amounts. In higher difficulties, they're basically only good for removing status effects, making it better to restore health with Break Souls and items. | |

Our Demons Are Different | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_50ed1af4 | comment |
Our Demons Are Different: Daemons are created through the disease daemonblight, but unlike Zestiria where Hellions tend to go insane or turn evil when transformed, numerous people from Velvet, Rokurou, and their allies retain or regain their sanity. Only dragons being mindless beasts. Therions are Daemons that feed on other Daemons. Therions are the eight heads of Innominat, who feed on the malevolence of people at earthpulse points and embody different malevolence. They consume it through physical means such as eating those with malevolence or by existing in the area. They all suffer from hunger and a new therion is born when one dies, ensuring there is no end to them. | |

Normally, you need to be at the end of the game to be able to combo well in a Tales game. That said, using Velvet's Consume Soul as a combo linker can get your combo counts into the fifties relatively early (and using it as a linker helps with its main weakness, that your health slowly drains while Velvet's in her Super Mode). | |

Not What It Looks Like: Late-game, there's a skit in which Velvet has locked herself in a room, refusing to let anyone in, and can be heard with heavy breathing behind the door. The skit implies that she's masturbating, but she's actually just cleaning the room and didn't want anyone to interrupt. The breathing was from her using her breath on the windows while cleaning them, and she moaned due to her disgust at the room's unkempt demeanor. | |

Lotus-Eater Machine: Melchior is said to have an arte capable of doing this on a very wide level. Such an arte traps Velvet and crew in an idealized vision of her home village of Aball that hasn't been destroyed. Despite recognizing it's a trap, Velvet gets so caught up in wanting it to be real that she briefly reverts to her old self. After the final boss fight, when Velvet seals herself with Innominat, she creates for herself and her brother a happy realm of what could be instead, where Laphicet is cured and embarks on great journey with Velvet, meeting all named characters, who are alive and well. | |

The Goomba | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_58efc711 | comment |
The Goomba: Prickleboars are the first enemies you face in the game and are relatively easy to beat with solo Velvet. By the time the party returns to Aball, the Prickleboars are still at their same level that any attack from your party members is essentially a One-Hit Kill, given how powerful your party has become by that point. The same is true of Gaiburk Ice Field north of Hellawes, the third area you visit; it has a late-game dungeon attached to it via by Broken Bridges (and one of the final dungeons attached to that), so you'll definitely have a chance to compare and contrast. | |

Disc-One Nuke | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_5b81ca8d | comment |
Disc-One Nuke: Normally, you need to be at the end of the game to be able to combo well in a Tales game. That said, using Velvet's Consume Soul as a combo linker can get your combo counts into the fifties relatively early (and using it as a linker helps with its main weakness, that your health slowly drains while Velvet's in her Super Mode). If the player uses the expedition mechanic to farm treasure to sell to the shops, it's possible to raise the shop level and obtain stronger equipment earlier than they should. | |

The PSN offers small additions that make the battles easier by allowing the player to purchase extra HP, some parameter-enhancing herbs, and even some Grade Shop bonuses early like Double Grade or Gald drops. There is also the Adventure Superpack that contains all of those items at once. | |

Kill on Sight | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_5dca2bb | comment |
Kill on Sight: Daemons are considered Always Chaotic Evil creatures that kill humans on sight. For this reason, Exorcists recruited by the Abbey have a standing decree to kill them on sight. The events of the game, however, reveal that daemons are not universally evil and, when a high-ranking Exorcist learns that the Abbey sometimes takes daemons captive, it comes as a shock and makes several characters question their motives. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation Regardless of how modest, prim and proper whatever costume you choose to dress Velvet up in might be, certain NPCs will comment on the scandalous nature of Velvet's clothing as if she's wearing her default outfit. Flamestone is said to be increasingly rare due to the global cooling and therefore increasingly valuable. Despite this, the Flamestone Chips you can find lying around as a random treasure specks on the ground sell for only a pittance and always for the same amount. Katz souls are supposedly the souls of actual katz. In gameplay terms, it's possible to collect an infinite amount if you played infinitely, as they are regenerated each time you visit an area and the bonus dungeon has randomly generated rooms that grant you huge amounts of them. Unlike Despot Heldalf from Tales of Zestiria, the True Final Boss of this game, Deific Artorius, doesn't have any story reason to be powered up after the player beats the Heavenly Steppes. There's no indication that beating all the bosses there has any effect on the earthpulse. | |

| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: Subverted. When it comes time to awaken the Elemental Empyreans, the party learns that only people who possess pure souls may suffice. Eleanor, who qualifies due to her rank in the Abbey, starts to volunteer... but is cut off, before she can finish the sentence, by someone who has a different solution, one that doesn't reduce the number of playable characters in the party. | |

Cosmic Horror Story | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_6a1c2a6 | comment |
Cosmic Horror Story: The root of Velvet's problems lies with a malevolent, godlike being that acts as a barrier in exchange for Human Sacrifices, who's constantly keeping the Daemonblight at bay. What makes it this instead of Lovecraft Lite is that the only way to defeat said malevolent, godlike being, is for Velvet to become a barrier against it while her reincarnated nephew replaces it (with said nephew not requiring sacrifices). | |

The Reveal | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: The EX dungeon reveals numerous facts about the world unknown to even the Malaks. The Heavenly Realm where malakhim and the Empyreans once resided existed before the mortal world did and is thus the "true" world. Seraphim, the original name for malakhim, are those who remained in the Heavenly Realm. Likewise the Empyreans were formerly known as the Prime Lords. Seraphim sought to destroy humanity when the species came into existence, as their malevolence was poisonous to them. Other seraphim disagreed and sought coexistence with humanity. A bet was made between both sides that it was possible to overcome malevolence and coexist. The Heavenly Gate between heaven and earth will remain shut until said promised time comes, where the two realms will be as one forevermore. The merciful seraphim descended to become the malakhim and Empyreans. The seraphim plotted the destruction of both malakhim and humanity, creating the rule/curse of daemons. A curse that makes it so that humans will become daemons that consume the human-loving malakhim, while the malakhim become dragons to devour the humans that trusted them. The initial success between both races fell apart due to this curse. The malak distanced themselves from humanity, while humans with resonance were nearly wiped out and humanity nearly forgot about the malakhim. The cycle of Innominat suppressing the world to reset the balance began in order to stop the malevolence from wiping out the planet. The pact keeper has the power to change things for the better, but Artorius has instead used his pact with Innominat to enslave malaks and change human/malak natures. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Healing spells are affected by SG quantity and other effects that are neither intuitive nor explained. Under the wrong circumstances, it's totally possible for even the strongest spells to heal pitiful amounts. In higher difficulties, they're basically only good for removing status effects, making it better to restore health with Break Souls and items. One of the last Code Red Daemons you can fight, called the Spectral Crystal, is a rather notorious Puzzle Boss. It is Nigh-Invulnerable, deflecting all damage you perform back at you. The only way to bypass this defense is to equip a party member with a "X% chance to reflect non-elemental damage" skill and nowhere does the game even tell you this at any point. (The other option is to switch to Simple difficulty, which removes this gimmick entirely.) It's possible to chain Mystic Artes together by holding down the Mystic Arte button, then holding a direction on the control pad. The 3rd and 4th Mystic Artes in the chain can be up to level 2 while the 5th and later Mystic Artes in the chain can be up to level 3, all while ignoring their normal activation conditions. Once again, the game never tells you this anywhere. | |

Calling Your Attacks | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_71bd62b9 | comment |
Calling Your Attacks: Zigzagged. Every attack does have its own callout, but it's not necessarily the attack's name. Some characters call our their artes' name when they use them, but sometimes they instead either give shouts like "Hi-YAH!", or taunts like "too slow!" and "no escape!". Velvet and Eizen are notable for going in and out of this. | |

Fashionable Asymmetry: Velvet, especially on her legs, where she has one armored boot and the other leg completely exposed. One of her arms is also covered in bandages to cover her demonic arm and they come off when she fights with it. Rokurou, Magilou, and Eizen to some degree. Rokurou's right side is all purple armor, the left side of Magilou's outfit is a pallet swap of the right side of said outfit and the left side of her hat appears to have a checker pattern on it, and Eizen has a dagger looking thing on the left side of his jacket and the top part of his right boot is sticking up. | |

Friend to All Children | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_75538142 | comment |
Friend to All Children: To limited definitions of "all," to be sure, as there are really only two children involved with the main party (Laphicet, AKA Malak Number Two, and Kamoana). However, everyone goes out of their way to be supportive to them. For parental substitutes, those kids end up with things like half-daemons on Roaring Rampages of Revenge, a trollish witch, pirates, abdicated royalty and a man-lizard with no tail... but all of them do their best at the job, and even succeed to a respectable extent. This is one of the ways the Anti-Hero main characters are characterized as being, well, not so evil. | |

Can't Drop the Hero | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_75ff5853 | comment |
Can't Drop the Hero: Downplayed. Velvet is the protagonist, and will always be in the party because the perspective follows her. But there's nothing forcing you to control her in battle or even keep her in the front lines. Your backup can be hot-swapped into the party during battle, and you can switch which character you're controlling at any time. So while Velvet is always in the party, she doesn't have to fight if a player doesn't want her to. | |

God Is Evil: Empyrean Innominat, the Nameless Empyrean, who removes free will to impose reason upon all things, sadistically killing, transforming, brainwashing, and torturing anyone who tries to defy him. The Avarost knew him as a disaster. Though his role is meant to stop the world from being destroyed, Innominat cares little for anyone beyond his beloved new world order of mindless slaves. Even the Elemental Empyreans have only ever suppressed him as his power keeps their own in check, with the resulting rampage of their own power would devastate the planet for millennia.. This is explained in that Innominat exists to prevent malevolence from fully consuming the world. By removing free will, he also removed all malevolence for a time, and once it was gone, he had nothing to feed from and would return to sleep, giving the elemental Empyreans control again. However, Melchior and Artorius exploited this by creating dragons out of some malaks, and then caging them in Hexen Isle. Since dragons supply immense malevolence, Innominat would be able to rob the world of its free will indefinitely because the dragons would eternally supply it for him. | |

Distinction Without a Difference | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_7b50237d | comment |
Distinction Without a Difference: After the party fights Phoneix, Bienfu and Grimorh reveal that there are "dog normin" and "cat normin" and that there's an irreconciable difference between the two. They compare it to the difference between sky blue and sea blue, though some of the party think that those two really aren't any different. Eizen insists that to the trained eye there is, but then they start giving other examples, like pudding vs. custard, sherbet vs. sorbet, or a hoagie vs. a sub sandwich, which Velvet says there really is no difference. | |

True Final Boss | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_8029fa50 | comment |
True Final Boss: If a player clears the Brutal Bonus Level, the game replaces the Final Boss, Armatized Artorius, with Deific Artorius. The new version of the boss has the same artes, but gets a massive boost to all of their stats, a jump of several dozen levels, and resistance to all elements, making the battle much more difficult. | |

Driving Question | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_8151ec48 | comment |
Driving Question: Early on, Artorius asks a rather pointed question to Velvet - "Why is it you think that birds fly?" This question is repeated a number of times to different people throughout the game, all of whom give varying answers that reveal a bit about their personal philosophies. "Birds fly to hunt prey" — Velvet Crowe* Velvet is a grounded protagonist, focused on her life and the lives of her family as they go on around her. She fails to take in the deeper philosophical meaning behind the question, and answers it at face value when Arthur asks. and Eleanor Hume* At this point in the story, Eleanor has been indoctrinated by the Abbey's cult of reason for a number of years, and hasn't truly begun to start learning to think outside of the box of what she's been taught. When asked this question directly by Artorius himself, she gives this answer hesitantly, as if unsure if she should be thinking more deeply about the question. "Birds fly to catch food, or escape from predators." — Laphicet Crowe* Asked casually by Velvet, still trying to puzzle out what Arthur meant by asking. Laphicet gives a similarly grounded response that doesn't ponder the deeper philosophical meaning, but in truth is holding his arm in a notably guilty gesture. "Birds fly because if they didn't, they wouldn't be birds." — Percival* Velvet posed the question to a stranger she met in Loegres, who answered thusly. "The freedom to fly is a universal right for a bird, and denying them that right would deny them something essential to being a bird." "Birds fly because they must." — Laphicet Crowe* Laphicet's real answer to the question, asked by Artorius in the past after Laphicet offered to be the sacrifice needed to revive Innominat. Notably, Artorius doesn't rebuke this answer. "Birds fly because it's what they must do, even if their wings are weak and frail. They fly, because flying means that they can continue living, or help their nest to continue living." "Birds fly because they have strong wings." — Artorius Collbrande* The answer Artorius gives, explaining his decision to unleash Innominat and eventually drain humanity of its free will. "Birds fly because they can do nothing but fly. They are slaves to their nature, and in submission to that nature, they find peace." "Birds fly because they want to fly and for no other reason." — Velvet Crowe* Velvet's final answer at the end of the story. "Birds fly because they choose to fly, because that's what gives their life meaning, even if their wings may break and doom them to die. A life without pain wouldn't be worth sacrificing that freedom to fly." | |

BFS | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_834420aa | comment |
BFS: Rokurou and Shigure both have them. They're actually properly-sized Nodachi and the Japanese script calls them such (the dub settles for "great sword"). In a nice bit of Truth in Television, the weapon is acknowledged to be rather situational, and Rangetsu Style practitioners also train to use a pair of daggers if the area is too cramped or the enemy too close for a very long blade to be practical; Rokurou, in fact, specializes in that half of the style. | |

Puzzle Boss | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_84f4a870 | comment |
One of the last Code Red Daemons you can fight, called the Spectral Crystal, is a rather notorious Puzzle Boss. It is Nigh-Invulnerable, deflecting all damage you perform back at you. The only way to bypass this defense is to equip a party member with a "X% chance to reflect non-elemental damage" skill and nowhere does the game even tell you this at any point. (The other option is to switch to Simple difficulty, which removes this gimmick entirely.) | |

The Social Darwinist | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_8573ac0a | comment |
The Social Darwinist: The Abbey's Reason, despite seemingly protecting the weak masses, has some elements of social darwinism due to how many people are considered too weak to contribute to The Needs of the Many. When Innominat enacts his suppression, many of the people affected seek to die for the sake of Reason. This includes not only people who resorted to shady or criminal practices, but also the elderly who cannot easily contribute to manual labor. This gets to the point where people try to kill their pets for not being able to contribute to society. | |

Villain with Good Publicity | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_87bb6874 | comment |
The Villain with Good Publicity trope is examined for the "publicity" part especially. In spite of saving the world, Velvet is remembered as a monster, and Artorius is remembered as a hero. Velvet doesn't get a happy ending as the result of the Abbey rewriting history to remember her only as the Lord of Calamity. It's helped along by the fact Velvet really did several terrible things in order to kill Artorius, like destroying an entire town's livelihood and killing innocent people. | |

Villain Protagonist | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_898ff050 | comment |
Villain Protagonist: The basic plot conceit of the game, at least initially - Velvet far more resembles the villains of previous titles, both in appearance and in ability, than she does previous heroes, and her initial motivation is literal murder for revenge, rather than any kind of higher, noble calling. Likewise, many of her comrades are far less (outwardly) noble and well-intentioned than previous parties were. Naturally, as the game progresses, the truth of it all becomes somewhat more complicated. Ultimately, Velvet will still be remembered as the first Lord of Calamity, but in the end she ensures that those who follow after will have the free will to make that judgment for themselves. | |

Flaw Exploitation: Magilou uses this against Melchior when the party fights him. Melchior loves flowers more than anything else, even "more than any living human", according to Magilou. So Magilou creates an image of a flower beneath Melchior's feet just before he would cast an arte that would render the party's efforts All for Nothing on Mount Killarus. This gives Velvet the opening she needs to grab Melchior and eat him with her daemon arm. | |

Wham Episode: Wouldn't be a Tales Series game without one. And considering how dark this game already is, this one reaches or even exceeds Akzeriuth levels. Velvet learns that not only is her brother Laphicet not dead, but he's become Innominat of his own free will to suppress all emotion in the world; Artorious 'killing' him was Laphicet's own wish, and the first step in this plan. Then, after being dragged into an earth pulse, Velvet is shown image after image of the past, as well as coming to the realization that she's done a lot of terrible things, and it's been for nothing. Velvet does not take this well. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory! | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_963086ce | comment |
Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Some of the controls have swapped buttons compared to the previous games: Guard/Sidestep has been moved from the Square button to the L1 button. Skits are now triggered with the Triangle button instead of the Select/Touchpad button. The menu is opened by pressing the Touchpad instead of the Triangle button. Of course, things are different in the Japan-only PlayStation 3 version, since there is no Touchpad. | |

Artorius, regardless of his status as the Big Bad, eventually becomes worshiped as a Seraph and his shrine is used by Maotelus and many other power Seraphs. | |

Hit So Hard, the Calendar Felt It | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_980f7fac | comment |
Hit So Hard, the Calendar Felt It: At the end of the game, the soon to be King Percival intends to revise the continental calendar to one called the Greenwood Calendar, in order to give the impression of a new start. Laphicet notes it is much more cheerful sounding than the current "Desolation" Calendar, and so by Tales of Zestiria, a thousand years later, the continent is known as Glenwood. | |

The Needs of the Many: Artorius preaches the idea of "the many outweigh the individual" to the public, who eat it right up. Velvet points out to some of his fans that while they desire to benefit as the "many," they could end up being the sacrificed individuals. | |

Dramatically Missing the Point | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_9e9203e1 | comment |
Dramatically Missing the Point: Melchior bases his life and his convictions on the words of an ancient exorcist named Claudin, but Melchior misinterpreted what Claudin meant. Melchior thinks that Claudin's words about the potential of humanity means that there's a threshold that humans can never cross as long as they produce malevolence; therefore, all human emotion must be surpressed. What Claudin actually meant is that humanity has the potential to be great in spite of producing malevolence, and that reason and emotions must both be used as a way to guide human thought and progress. | |

Cypher Language: It keeps the same substitution cipher that makes up the Ancient Tongue as Tales of Zestiria, found in true names and spell sigils, which decodes to mostly comprehensible English. (For instance, Bienfu's true name in English is "Fuschie Cass", an English localization of the Japanese approximation of "Fwussv Has", which decodes into "Pretty Hat".) | |

Red Baron: The title Lord of Calamity was created by the Abbey, who dubbed Velvet with the name. Historians would later give the same title to Daemons of similar power that existed before her. Artorius bears the title of the Shepherd, and like the above history gives the title to other figures before him that served a similar role. Including his mentor King Claudin. | |

All for Nothing: It's brought up during the Wham Episode. Velvet learns that her brother Laphicet was a willing sacrifice instead of being murdered by Artorius. And throughout the game, Velvet was remorselessly killing people and leveling cities in order to avenge him, which has now been rendered pointless. This realization causes Velvet to completely lose it. | |

Ms. Fanservice: Velvet in accompanied by a number of fan-servicey design choices, perhaps most notably underboobs in her barely-there outfit. Magilou's skits often revolve around sexual innuendo, and she likes making people feel sexually uncomfortable. Her swimsuits are, likewise, the absolute skimpiest in the game. | |

And Then What? | |

And Then What?: Discussed. Velvet freely admits to her few allies that her goal is "kill Artorius," and that's it; there's no long term plan beyond that. The few times Velvet is pressed on the issue, her response can always be boiled down to "I don't care what happens after I kill Artorius". Character development throughout the story mitigates this somewhat, but towards the end, she's still focused just on killing her target, even if it's for a more noble reason. | |

To do so, all you need to do is touch each ember and defeat all of the spawned enemies. The difficulty increases for each area, but certain Katz helpers can help make the task a bit easier if you exchange them some Katz Spirits. | |

Brutal Bonus Level | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_be3e7584 | comment |
Brutal Bonus Level: The Heavenly Steppes, the game's Bonus Dungeon. There are enemies up to level 120, in a game where the final boss can be beaten at level 70. The dungeon's gimmick requires purifying a black flame of malevolence full of a gauntlet of enemies. After clearing it, a player has to find other similar, smaller flames under a time limit. If the timer runs out, the player has to clear the large flame all over again for another try. The dungeon requires a player to clear six different levels of this, each one getting progressively harder with tougher enemies, and each level has its own boss. | |

Home Base: Titania is made into one for Velvet's crew and their allies as their infamy grows throughout Midgand. Later, when the Abbey and Innominat force them out of Titania, they make Meirchio, a town located north of Hellawes, into their new home base after Velvet scares everyone out of the town in an elaborate attempt to draw out the remaining Legates. | |

Cannibalism Superpower | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_bea8ef06 | comment |
Cannibalism Super Power: Venomization is said to be a dark ritual that forces demons to devour one another to make more powerful demons. Therions are naturally occurring daemon eaters, although only a small number may exist at a given time, and as a general rule appear to be more powerful than products of venomization. | |

Break Them by Talking | |

Break Them by Talking: This is the last step in Inominat's scheme to make Velvet cross the Despair Event Horizon. Inominat reveals that Velvet's quest has been for nothing since he sacrificed himself of his own free will, causing Velvet to agree that she's a monster. Luckily, her allies help her snap out of it. | |

Significant Name Shift | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_bfdbf829 | comment |
Significant Name Shift: In the Japanese version, Velvet addresses Arthur as "nii-san", right until he sacrifices Laphicet, after which point she calls him "Arthur" before learning his real name is "Artorius". When she's breaking down and admitting to Phi that losing her family hurt her, she refers to Artorius as "Arthur nii-san" again. The "brother" specification is absent in English, but maintains the distinction between "Arthur" and "Artorius". | |

World of Silence: This is the "utopia" that the Abbey really has in mind: one where Innominat eternally surpresses all human emotion so that humans no longer produce malevolence. Even the Anti-Hero Team of the main characters think this plan is insane, since it goes against their creeds for one reason or another. | |

The same is true of Gaiburk Ice Field north of Hellawes, the third area you visit; it has a late-game dungeon attached to it via by Broken Bridges (and one of the final dungeons attached to that), so you'll definitely have a chance to compare and contrast. | |

Fallen Hero | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_c6655b23 | comment |
Fallen Hero is deconstructed by Artorius. Artorius fell into despair when Celica died and stepped into the role of a villain from a story perspective after that moment, but unlike most examples of this trope where the Fallen Hero becomes the complete antithesis to what they believed in, Artorius never truly lost sight of his ideals. He still wanted to save everyone, especially his family. However, due to how much loss he suffered, he decided the world could not be saved as it is, and concluded that to save the world, mankind's freewill needed to be removed. With that, he became The Stoic in order to remain in control despite nearly crossing the Despair Event Horizon. As a result, he lacks any humanizing traits such as empathy or feelings, and runs off of pure logic, leading him to becoming a cold rallying symbol for the world, but one who lacked any hope for it, which leads him to commit horrible acts. | |

Human Sacrifice | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_c66cb5a9 | comment |
Human Sacrifice: The reason Velvet is so pissed at Artorius. He sacrificed her brother during the Scarlet Night. What Velvet doesn't know is that Laphicet was a willing sacrifice, not an innocent victim. Innominat also needed two souls with great resonance in order to be resurrected; one was Celica's unborn son, and the other being Laphicet himself. The elemental Empyreans play with this, as they need a soul to be a vessel, but the vessel only needs no malevolence in them when they offer themselves on a Scarlet Night. | |

Impostor Forgot One Detail: The second time a player goes to Aball, Velvet takes some pudding off of Laphicet's cheek and remarks how sweet it is. This immediately reminds Velvet that it's all an illusion, since she shouldn't be able to taste anything except blood. When the party rushes into Lothringen to rescue Aifread, Eizen starts talking to him and mentions his sibling. Aifread goes on to talk about Eizen's brother... except Eizen doesn't have a brother; he has a sister. | |

Mars and Venus Gender Contrast | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_c852ac43 | comment |
Mars and Venus Gender Contrast: Many of the skits revolve around a battle-of-the-sexes type of scenario, such as one skit where the male characters warn the younger Laphicet that women are nothing but trouble (sometimes with the girls agreeing), and other skits where the guys want to do something cool, manly or awesome, but the gals veto it. Further, many "girl talk" skits revolve around sex, housewife skills like cleaning or sewing, and/or finding a husband, while many of the "guy talk" skits revolve around combat, exploring the world, and finding one's place as a man. | |

Informed Ability: Justified. The way Eizen and other pirates hype him up, Aifread must be a truly awesome opponent, yet when you fight him, it's pretty clear he's nowhere near full strength after being turned into a monster, and you're basically giving him a mercy kill. | |

Anti-Villain: The bad guys represent a Corrupt Church and are thus clothed in the trappings of piety. However, most of the recurring mini-boss characters are Punch Clock Villains who joined the Abbey out of a genuine desire to do good; they get Alas, Poor Villain moments. Additionally, it's a Plot Point that they must possess Incorruptible Pure Pureness (their souls could not have been used to power up the Four Elemental Empyreans otherwise, nor could Teresa have become a "pure" therion). | |

Lost Language | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_d1937d01 | comment |
Lost Language: The ancient Avarost civilization had a language that emphasized emotion, with words having different meanings depending on the emotion of the writer or speaker. The language itself was lost to time when the civilization fell thousands of years ago, with only records of it left behind in ancient books. Since the language is no longer in use with the current populace of the Midgand empire, deciphering its meaning has proven to be difficult and takes a lot of time. This becomes important to the plot since deciphering the lost Avarost language is key to defeating Innominat. | |

A Lighter Shade of Grey | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_d78ea1dc | comment |
A Lighter Shade of Grey: A first for a Tales game. While Velvet's group are undeniably the "good guys" and the Abbey the "bad guys", the game blurs the line a bit as every (barring Laphicet and Eleanor) party member has some self-serving motive and not all of them are entirely heroic in nature, while also going around destroying anything that gets in their way. Besides that however, they're pretty decent people. Meanwhile, the Abbey appear to be good as they suppress the daemon attacks and supply many towns with protection from them and their goals are certainly good-natured, but they resort to a lot of questionable actions in the process, including using children, enslaving Malaks and treating them as tools, and their ultimate plan is to get rid of the free will of everybody on the planet to permanently get rid of Malevolence. Ultimately, the conflict of the game is less "Good vs. Evil" and more "Emotion vs. Reason" and the actions the characters take as a result of it. | |

Optional Boss | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_e0606d52 | comment |
Optional Boss: Several optional bosses can be fought in most sidequests. The two most common types of optional bosses though are the Code Red Daemonsnote Bosses that are enshrouded with dark auras and are highlighted with big red dots on the map, and defeating them earns you bounties from the Bloodwings. and the Dire Foesnote Bosses that have a random chance of appearing after an enemy battle if you've accumulated enough total grade from battles within an area., both of which are just really powerful versions of regular mooks. As per Tales tradition, previous Tales characters can also be fought. This time, it's Jude and Milla, first being fought individually, and then together as a Dual Boss. | |

Call-Forward | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_e3c36782 | comment |
Call-Forward: The game features numerous examples since it's a prequel to Tales of Zestiria. Hell, Arma Dylan is even mentioned by name! The first "enemies" Velvet has are prickleboars, which she hunts. The first enemies Sorey ever had to deal with (implied - the first battle in game is with a hellion) are prickleboars, which he also hunts in a similar fashion. Their reasons are different; Velvet hunts mainly to sell the prickleboars for money, while Sorey hunts them for food and their hides for himself. It's repeatedly mentioned that the world is getting cooler (which plays havoc on the weather). Also, some exploration and talk with NPCs will reveal that the lands are drifting towards each other. A discovery skit in Zestiria has Sorey, Mikleo, and Dezel discuss how a dead tree's rings are close together because of it going through a cold time period; meanwhile, the mention of the lands moving together explains the different geography of Zestiria compared to Berseria. There's even a small comment in Zestiria that suggests part of the reason Glenwood looks as it does is because powerful earth malakim/seraphim moved the land for whatever reason. And in Berseria it's mentioned that changes to the land will take only a few hundred years thanks to the Empyreans having been awoken by Velvet. Eizen's Draconic Drive and gives him a dark appearance with wings, which foreshadows his fate before Tales of Zestiria. The Undead Dragon on Hexen Island is revealed to be another Malak like Laphicet who the party took with them, but was forcibly turned into a dragon by Innominat to stop them. They defeat it and when they do the skeleton is all that remains, and gets revived by malevolence during Zestiria. Laphicet's third Mystic Arte is the series' main staple Indignation. Which is the same Indignation Heldalf uses in Zestiria because Laphicet goes on to become Maotelus. The Empyrean's Throne is identical to Artorius's Throne, only not ruined. It also has the symbol of Innominat on it just like in Zestiria. That's because Innominat is the second main villain of the game. Another area in Zestiria is called "Aifread's Hunting Grounds". It is a coastal area with a broken landscape, cliffs, and ruins. It is very similar to where you finally defeat Aifread in Berseria. There are several references made in Zestiria to an "Era of Asgard". In this game, Asgard is the name of the royal family. This is further played with if you visit the church in Taliesin; an NPC there will mention an even older civilization during an Era of Asgard, and will even namedrop a Holy Kingdom of Hyland that sank beneath a lake. Another character in Taliesin talks about wanting to build a new town at the lake using the old city as a foundation and attract ladies—hence, Zestiria's Ladylake, capital of Hyland. The crests of the four elemental Empyreans are the same symbols of the weapons that Sorey and Rose use while armatized: fire is a sword, water is a bow, and so on. Armatization returns in this game, except the Awful Truth is revealed that it was an experimental arte formed by Melchior to fuse human and malak, and it had unfortunate consequences because the users were not truly synchronized. You can also find two malakhim near the Empyrean's throne, one carrying Mikleo's bow, discussing the possibility of perfecting it in the case of troublesome future crises. After a good deal of debauchery, Velvet eventually comes to news from locals that she is referred to as the Lord of Calamity, Heldalf's title in Zestiria. To get past the guards at the capital, improvisation and Bad "Bad Acting" is used when The Protagonist is called out for being suspicious. Hexen Island is visited during the main plot resulting in the set up for one of Zestiria's bonus bosses. Talking with a blue Normin on Normin Island has him wishing for a nice master, preferably a very pretty girl who will pamper him. He goes on to say that if she meets his standards, he won't mind if she liked making terrible puns. Anyone who played Zestiria will know that this is a reference to Lailah. On Normin Island, you can find Atakk, who says that he was jealous of Bienfu's and Grimoire's hats, and that he was going to go find a nice shiny gold one. When the party starts seeing visions of the past, Eizen says he's heard of it and calls it the Earthen Historia. The same Earthen Historia was used in Zestiria to see Heldalf's backstory. At the end the healing wave fails to purify Rokurou. This exact same problem with the silver flame and purifying hellions pops up in the latter parts of Zestiria. | |

Expy | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Velvet so far appears to be heavily based on Zero. Both are powerful women on a quest for revenge, wear Stripperific clothing, have some sort of unusual demonic curse attached to a body part, and are paired up with someone that's a Adorably Precocious Child. And just like Zero, she ends up using her power to seal away an evil god alongside herself and leaving her dragon friend behind. Similarities to Guts have been made as well. Velvet's design has also been compared to Milla's. Made hilarious when Milla shows up as a cameo! An exorcist from Abbey that's shown up frequently in the trailers and other pre-release materials has been noted to look fairly similar to Flynn thus giving him his two most popular nicknames, Flynn 2.0 and Knighty. His actual name is Oscar Dragonia and he's a member of Artorius' group. Artorius Collbrande looks a lot like Utsuro, but he's also not too much unlike previous Tales Big Bad Van, as both seek to save humanity by destroying it, creating a world of blank slates. There's even a little resemblance between the two physically. Artorius' outfit as the Shepherd and when he armitizes with Inomminat bring to mind Yggdrasil from Tales of Symphonia. Inomminat/Laphicet Crowe is one to Mithos Yggrasil from Tales Of Symphonia. Both are pre-teen boys with older sisters with whom they share a close bond, become godlike figures, seek to turn everyone in the world into soulless drones, opposed by their older sisters (in one way or another), and are ultimately replaced as a God-figure. | |

Artistic License – Space | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_e6558beb | comment |
Artistic License – Space: It's explained in-game that the Night of the Scarlet Moon wherin the moon turns blood red every three years is caused by the moon approaching its closest point in its orbit, which in astronomy terms, is called the "Perigee" or "Periapsis". However, the orbital motions of celestial bodies and their closest and farthest approaches would remain fairly constant for long periods of time, so unless something is gravitationally disrupting the moon's orbit on a regular basis, there's no rhyme or reason as to why a Scarlet Night would happen every three years when in actuallity, it would depend on the moon's orbital period.note For reference, our Moon orbits Earth every 27 days, so its closest approach happens about once each month. | |

The first fight against Artorius is one of these, both gameplay-wise and storywise. At a time when your party members might be around level 20 if you played your cards right, Artorius is level 66, and your attacks only do Scratch Damage to him. Eventually, Artorius unleashes his Mystic Arte on Velvet, causing a long cutscene to trigger where Velvet can't so much as hit him. | |

Powered by a Forsaken Child: As Innominat needs malevolence to remain active once their goal is achieved, malakhim are forcefully turned into dragons and sealed so that he may eternally feed off them. A cure for the Reaper's curse is mentioned in a sidequest. Said cure requires a malak to eat the heart of a malak turned dragon that has a white horn. Though even the ones who wrote it believe it is still inconclusive. | |

One-Steve Limit: Averted and played with. Velvet's motivation is getting revenge for her dead brother, Laphicet, and accidentally gives Number Two the same name. Considering Laphicet's entire story arc is deciding who he wants to be and he's named after someone else (who can't be mentioned without Velvet becoming emotionally unstable), this causes problems down the road. | |

Downloadable Content The PSN offers small additions that make the battles easier by allowing the player to purchase extra HP, some parameter-enhancing herbs, and even some Grade Shop bonuses early like Double Grade or Gald drops. There is also the Adventure Superpack that contains all of those items at once. There are also several costumes that the player can obtain via catalogues, which include some extra skits to be viewed on the title screen. The costumes include a pirate and maid set; swimwear; and the standard, referential Tales Of costumes of Rutee, Richard, Natalia, Arche, Hubert and Ludger. | |

Early-Bird Cameo: Velvet appears Episodes 5 and 6 (or 6 and 7 if you include the prologue episode) of Tales of Zestiria the X, which aired before the game's Japanese release. The latter episode even ends with the opening sequence of the game. Artorius made his first appearance in a trailer for Tales of Zestiria the X, a year before he appeared in Berseria's promotional material. | |

Traveling at the Speed of Plot | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_f314f8c4 | comment |
Traveling at the Speed of Plot: The game is intentionally vague at how long naval journeys actually take, which holds up well enough. At least until one scene, where's implied that traveling from the extreme east end of the map to the extreme west - a route that involves three ports of call and a sizable detour around an entire landmass - took less than three days. Either the game world is tiny or ships in the world of Berseria travel several orders of magnitude faster than in the real world. | |

Then we get a few scenes about her peaceful life in Aball with Arthur and Laphicet, but the world is still slowly being consumed by Daemonblight. An hour of gameplay later, there is another Scarlet Night, Arthur kills Laphicet, Velvet inadvertently slaughters everyone in her village, becomes a daemon, and gets locked in a prison cell for three years, where she does nothing but feed on other daemons and stew in her anger. Then the game proper begins. | |

Running Gag | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: The party members confessing their sins, or at least one perverted priest trying to get them to, inside various churches throughout the game. Since it's the same guy (same voice and aware of the others' confessions), one must assume he's fleeing from sanctuary to sanctuary to avoid them. Throughout the game, tales of Velvet and the party's deeds keep spreading. As she gets more infamous, the descriptions of her appearance and deeds as "the Lord of Calamity" get more and more exaggerated... and as a result, more and more incorrect. | |

Hopeless Boss Fight | |
| Tales of Berseria (Video Game) / int_fc07d409 | comment |
Hopeless Boss Fight: As per Tales Series tradition. Both of them also serve as a Final Boss Preview, since the two return as a Dual Boss in the final fight, but this time without holding back. The first fight against Artorius is one of these, both gameplay-wise and storywise. At a time when your party members might be around level 20 if you played your cards right, Artorius is level 66, and your attacks only do Scratch Damage to him. Eventually, Artorius unleashes his Mystic Arte on Velvet, causing a long cutscene to trigger where Velvet can't so much as hit him. The party fights against Innominat during the Wham Episode, where their attacks do no damage to him at all. The battle only ends after a certain amount of time has passed. However, notably it's still a Game Over if the party is KOed before the time has passed, which can easily happen on higher difficulties. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: The Exorcists order wants to purge the world of monsters and create peace and will do anything to do so. Artorius Collbrande's quote from Jump Magazine reeks of this: "I swear to you all that I shall put an end to all the pain in this world!". Velvet's intentions to destroy Artorius strengthen after learning his plans, making her this considering how she'll kill anyone who gets in her way with no hesitation and use those she needs. | |
