Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike
Directed by Kanta Kamei
Produced by Bandai Visual, Production I.G
A fantasy action-adventure prequel that balances magical worldbuilding and combat spectacle with character-driven tension between two contrasting young knights investigating a mysterious ecological threat.
In a mythical kingdom, the mighty Imperial Knights harness a magical substance known as Aer to power their weapons and protect humanity from the monsters of the forest. But something strange is afoot; the Aer is somehow changing, causing the wilderness to waste away and stirring the woodland beasts to attack with greater frequency. As danger creeps steadily closer to civilization, two young recruits - Flynn, the rigid son of a fallen hero, and the rebellious and brash Yuri - must ride with their fellow Imperial Knights to distant ruins in hopes of uncovering the truth behind the transforming Aer.
