She once acted frustrated with Laphicet due to his obedience to The Abbey.

All that’s left of the once loving and caring character of Velvet is now a gloomy and dark facade that hides her loneliness due to being feared. Her hatred towards the one who caused the massacre and the traumatic event knew no bounds which is what constantly keeps her going. She has a cold persona and keeps a mask on while focusing on the one thing that has kept her going: her revenge.

Losing all her siblings caused her to form a wall around her heart. However, that all changed when the Scarlet Night took place. She also got along well with her sister Cecilia Crowe and her brother-in-law Artorius Collbrande. Most of all, she cared deeply for her younger brother – Laphicet Crowe. Not only is it a form of “pay-to-win” DLC that further trivialises an already-easy game, but it’s also entirely unnecessary given that Tales of Berseria barely requires the player to grind for levels in the first place.Years ago before the imprisonment, Velvet could be seen as a loving and caring character. This isn’t the case, and while I won’t dictate what people should or shouldn’t do with their finances, I’d advise against buying this sort of content.

In this respect, I can’t help but come to the conclusion that Bandai Namco’s decision to offer level-boosting DLC is a poor one, as it may give off the impression that the game will do everything in its power to goad players into buying into what can only be described as a pay-to-win scheme. Of course, this does change once you bump the difficulty to a higher setting - where enemies will be of a significantly higher level, and where healing is less effective - but anyone who intends to play the game on its Normal mode will likely never feel as if Tales of Berseria‘s challenges are insurmountable. By simply downing almost all the enemies that I came across, I never once found myself in a situation where I felt outmatched by any of the challenges that the game threw at me. Never once did I feel as if the game required that I linger in an area for too long just so I can grind for experience points or equipment. The game’s difficulty, too, is relatively consistent.
