Tales of Vesperia is an action role-playing game in which players control a group of fighters whose mission is to retrieve a stolen technology that a city relies upon. The fighters encounter various foes along their journey and must defeat them using turn-based magic attacks as well as weapon attacks with swords, knives or whips. Red blood is seen briefly when certain enemies are slashed or injured during cutscenes. Several characters joke or remark about the physiques of two of the female members of the party. One is referred to as "flat-chested," while the other is called "Miss Bouncy-Bouncy." One sequence involves dressing up to seduce a guard away from his post. Players can enter taverns and encounter townspeople who slur their speech when ordering drinks, and alcohol is specifically referenced in latter parts of the game (e.g., "Is this crate booze bottles?"). Moderate profanity (e.g., "ass," "bastard") can be heard during gameplay and cutscenes.
