Yeah, that scene was one of the best emotional scenes I've ever seen in a game. Like... Velvet's sanity is gone. The evil fiend Innominat is manipulating her emotions so he can consume her for his selfish desires - he's the one that's truly corrupted. And Velvet isn't standing up for herself. So who does for her? Her young nephew. Complete opposite of what you'd expect. It's so badass and seriously made me smile. It was joyful. It was badass. It was awesome.

Abyss is my favorite Tales game because of how thoroughly awesome it is, but Berseria is definitely #2. Like this is the Tales I've been waiting ages for.

And yes, Phi is easily the best child character in a Tales game. Like, before him you've had:
He Whose Name Rhymes With Penis - That title is the only remarkable thing about him. He's not unlikable or obnoxious, just forgettable.
Anise - Let's not get started on Anise lol
Karol Capel - He's a halfway decent character, actually, even if there are times when he's acting his age. He's the only person in Vesperia to show any kind of personal growth - every other Tales I've played certainly has more than one person who has had shifts in personality shaped by experiences (whether that be a party member or not). But that doesn't make him better than Phi.
Graces didn't have a child character.
Elize - Elize is good. Likable and intriguing story-wise, but really, the only reason she's memorable is Teepo. Teepo switches between funny and obnoxious. And Teepo is technically Elize's conscience, so...
Elle - Elle was a typical child character, really, and had a strong storyline but not much else going for her. I really don't remember anything other than the sickness and the ending with her tbqh

I forget where velvet and Eleanor landed in the first waifu contest. I don't think they did quite as well in the second.

I know in the second that Eleanor didn't do so hot. I don't know if Velvet even made the cut. I certainly would've saved them as later priorities but probably never gotten around to that tbh. I like them both, but Velvet isn't actually waifu material and Eleanor's still a recovering xenophobe. Both fantastic characters, but I doubt I'd marry either of them lol
