Even when we minister to them, I am sure many of us approach them with the idea that they are sinners who need to be saved, and again, that is not technically wrong. “Those non-believers are sinners.” Yet, when we only ever interact with other Christians, it is so easy to paint an entire population as only black and sinful without ever thinking beyond that. We have a firm foundation and understanding in what is right and wrong, and for the most part, we are probably not technically wrong. I think many Christians are similar to Eleanor. While she previously viewed daemons as nothing but an evil that must be eliminated, she begins to accept that even daemons have their own feelings, goals, and beliefs. ![]() With such a revelation, Eleanor is forced to reevaluate what is even the difference between a daemon and a human. This was a phenomenon that had always existed, but people simply could not perceive the appearance of the “monsters” and only saw regular humans being abnormally violent. Instead, the transformation is caused by an overflow of malevolence, negative emotions, or for a more spiritual spin, sinful thoughts. Perhaps the biggest plot twist of the game (spoilers! though honestly I feel like it was a pretty predictable one) is that daemons are not what people have been told. ![]() She is forced to accept that the world and its inhabitants are far more complicated than she thought, and the righteousness she believes in is not as straightforward as it may seem. She learns Artorius’ methods are sometimes crueler than she could imagine, and that the evil daemons and the heroic exorcists are not as black and white as she thought. Eleanor meets daemons with human emotions and tragic backgrounds. While daemons are said to be humans transformed into bloodthirsty monsters, only capable of destruction, many of them retain their human consciousness even after the transformation, and this includes Velvet. However, it is through her travels that she learns greater truths about the world that reshape her view on life. Thus, it goes against her very nature to be travelling with and aiding criminals and daemons who seek to kill the man working to save humanity. Simultaneously, she is realistic and understands that it is simply not feasible to save everyone, no matter how cruel it may seem. ![]() Eleanor is a person who is obsessed with righteousness she is introduced as someone crying at the thought of needing to abandon the few to save the many. While the exorcists are commanded by Artorius to fight daemons, Eleanor finds herself cooperating with Velvet temporarily due to various circumstances. It is definitely a very unique kind of plot that manages to tell a story from an unconventional perspective.Īmong Velvet’s companions is an exorcist named Eleanor. However, his methods are very utilitarian, and he willingly sacrifices the few to save the many – so much so that he sacrificed Velvet’s own brother to gain the power he now holds. Moreover, the person they aim to kill is none other than the world’s hero Artorius who has led humanity’s fight against the emergence of monsters called daemons. The companions she gathers to help her are not held together by trust and love but rather out of varying selfish reasons, and they make it clear that they will turn on each other if the situation calls for it. In particular, the protagonist is a girl named Velvet who is dead set on revenge and she doesn’t care how many people she has to kill or lives she ruins to accomplish that. It’s definitely a fun game, but the quality of the characters and plot stands out most of all. ![]() Lately I’ve been playing Tales of Berseria, the newest addition to the “Tales” JRPG series.
