The tenth mainline entry in the Tales series, it was published in Japan and North America by Namco Bandai Games in 2008, and in European territories by Atari in 2009. An expanded port of the game for the PS3 was released in 2009 in Japan, but has not been released in Western territories. The gameplay is similar to previous Tales games, featuring a new version of the series' trademark action-based Linear Motion Battle System, while also introducing new elements such as online scoring boards.
Vesperia is set in the world of Terca Lumireis, which uses an energy source called blastia for all its needs, including creating protective barriers around its cities. The story focuses on Yuri Lowell, a former Imperial soldier who forms a guild called Brave Vesperia to aid Estelle, a noble woman he encounters on a mission. As they explore the world, Brave Vesperia are challenged by factions who have different plans related to the abuse of blastia resources, and Yuri is forced to confront his friend and former comrade Flynn. The game's story theme is justice, and its Characteristic Genre Name is "RPG to Enforce Justice" (正義を貫き通すＲＰＧ Seigi o tsuranukitōsu RPG?).
