Symbolic Color cont.

The game repeats these symbolic spoilers. Enter Gilles De Rais. Before the player learns anything about this character his hair color and attire alone imply what social rank he is of; (See image above) violet is the symbolic color of royalty and the game developers waste no time in silently conveying that their creation is nobility indeed.

However, there are other symbolic uses for violet than as a simple social status/hierarchy marker.

There should be no surprise based off of the past analysis of the game developer's use of violet as a symbol of royalty that the pale fellow in the image above is also nobility. The Duke of Bedford in the game Jeanne D'Arc does stretch the symbolism of violet a bit further however. Violet is a color of mystery, secrets, and the occult. The duke above is the game's main villain, one who uses witchcraft as his main mode of assault.

This stretch away from violet as a symbolism for nobility is extremely short lived. The game is heavily reliant on this indicator. There is even a violet frog in the game, which eventually at the end of the story, it is revealed that the frog is actually the "real" Henry VI, true royalty, who was turned into the squat amphibian by the violet clad Duke of Bedford.
