Tales of Vesperia

Tales of Vesperia revolves around the themes of justice, friendship and betrayal. Vesperia is the tenth mothership game developed by Namco (now known Namco Bandai) for the Tales of Series. In the world of Terca Lumireis the citizens rely on blastia, an ancient technology that can be put to a variety of uses such as increasing a person's fighting skills and creating protective barriers around cities to ward off monsters. Blastia is made from aer, a source of life for the world.

The game stars Yuri Lowell, a resident of the so called "slums" of the imperial capital, Zaphias. One day, the aqua blastia used to maintain the fountain used to supply water for the area goes berserk after someone named "Mordio" runs off with the blastia. Yuri decides to pay this "Mordio" a visit but is instead thrown into jail by the Schwann Brigade. There, he meets a mysterious man who gives him a key to escape and during then he encounters a mysterious girl who supposedly is looking for Flynn, Yuri's long time friend. He decides to aid the strange girl and thus begins the story of Vesperia.
