I thought the information found in the Japanese site of Fuji film is
written in friendly words, compared to English sites. Maybe this
will help you to understand Fuji's intentions.
======
Velvia, Provia, Astia are professional-use films with colored film
bases intended for publishing purposes. Trebi and Sensia use clear
bases good for slide projection or looking through a lupe etc, also
good for beginners.
Color reappearance:
Trebi True color
Sensia Settled kind
Velvia Higher saturation than actual color
Provia True color
Astia True color, beautiful human skin
Gradation:
Trebi Standard
Sensia Soft
Velvia Vivid

Astia Soft
Recommended for:
Trebi All purposes, good for beginners and those not used to
reversal films.
Sensia All purposes incl. medical and scientific usages.
Velvia Those who want sharp and powerful details, brilliant colors,
excellent quality or high resolution.
Provia All purposes. Select this if you are wavering in choice.
Most commonly used.
Astia Especially good for female and baby shots. Select this when
you like to soften too high-contrasted objects, too.

Film shop clerks sometimes seem to be busy explaining these to their
customers. I wish such information is indicated on the package so I
can understand the difference instantly!
