In contrast, Velvet Crowe is confident and determined, willing to set a city on fire or sacrifice the lives of fellow inmates to ensure an unobstructed path to her target. These characters would appear young, innocent, schoolgirl-esque and clumsy.
The moe culture that permeated anime for the better part of several years meant that many anime-influenced Japanese role-playing games, like the Tales series, had similarly moe designs. Velvet also marks a break from recent female JRPG protagonists. "That's why we wanted to have Velvet as a main hero–it's the start of a new chapter." "To take a new step to the next decade of the Tales of series, we want to have new things that we haven't done before," Fukaya told Wired. In an interview with Wired, Fukaya discussed the design process of Velvet and her role in the overarching Tales series. Producer Hideo Baba stepped into a supervisor role, with Yasuhiro Fukaya taking the role of producer. Velvet Crowe is the series' first solo female protagonist ( Xillia's Milla had to share the spotlight with counterpart Jude). Tales of Berseria is a departure from that norm, and is many ways a new foot forward for the series. "So when we make a game we want to target our main fanbase." "Our main target audience for the Tales franchise is still ultimately Japan," said longtime series producer Hideo Baba in a 2013 interview with Destructoid. A long journey or pilgrimage, a character is embued with an angelic or otherworldly power that also shortens their lifespan, a tomboy mage, a mentor figure who turns on you, and many other tropes populate the pages and beats of Tales' narratives. Tales games since have mostly fallen into a similar mold. One of the longest running Japanese role-playing game series, the Tales games date back to Tales of Phantasia in 1995 for the Super Famicom, where a young man Cress joins forces with a young priestess girl named Mint, on a quest to save the world from an evil sorcerer named Dhaos. For Tales of Berseria, and the Tales series as a whole, Velvet Crowe's journey for vengeance is a stark departure from an otherwise traditional thread. Playing the villain isn't a wholly revolutionary concept in video games recent games like Tyranny and Nefarious have done so, exploring the concept of playing as a member of the dark side. Only she knows what it cost, and regardless of the outcome, she has only one goal in mind: to kill the world's savior, to quench the rage building inside her and avenge her late and last remaining relative.
She hears stories of the world's savior Artorias, whose ritual that night saved the world. She waits, feeding on less fortunate prisoners conspicuously dropped into her domain.
