Tales of Vesperia ~The First Strike~ is an animated movie that takes place shortly before the events of the game. Yuri and Flynn are the main focus of the story, starting with them joining the Imperial Knights. Their squadron is sent to a town called Shizontania where abnormalities in vegetation and monster aggression are plaguing the residents due to high concentrations of aer. Raven is first seen drunk in a bar (go figure) where Yuri starts a fight with the local guild. It appears that he is temporarily working with Melzom Keider, the person in charge of the guild there. Raven is later seen sneaking around trying to find some intel about the strange events going on and seems surprised to see one of Alexei's Royal Guard members. His last scene consists of him and the other guild members watching Yuri, Flynn and the rest of their unit heading off into the forest. Melzom yells at him to inform the Don of what's happening and he runs off.
