Thanks @NinjaIceClimber and @realwallacewell for the heads-up.
Tales of the Abyss is the eighth mothership title of the series initially released for the PlayStation 2 in Japan in the same year as Tales of Legendia. It is the Tales of Series 10th Anniversary title. The game was later ported to the Nintendo 3DS and was adapted into a 26-episode TV anime by Sunrise. Abyss tells the story of Luke, a young noble whose life turns upside down upon meeting a mysterious girl named Tear. The game appears to be influenced by musical themes.
Tales of Vesperia is the tenth mothership title of the series initially released for the Xbox 360. The Japanese and North American English localization release dates of the game were within the same month, a first in the entire series. It later got ported to the PlayStation 3 with additional features, but this never got an English release. An updated version known as “Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition” will be released for both Japan & the West in Winter 2018. Vesperia tells the story of Yuri, a former Imperial Knight. A movie called Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike was later released which tells the story of Yuri prior to the game’s events.
Tales of the Hearts is the eleventh mothership title of the series and was initially released for the Nintendo DS. The initial DS release featured 2D sprite graphics and the option of having either animated or CG cutscenes in the form of two separate releases. The CG cutscenes release, however, had poor reception from fans. Hearts later got a remake or a “re-imagination” in the form of Tales of Hearts R for the PlayStation Vita, which featured two additional playable characters, remade 3D graphics and new animated cutscenes. The Vita version eventually got an English localization that, for some reason, did not include an English dub.

Tales of Graces is the twelfth mothership title of the series initially released for the Nintendo Wii. The game later got ported to the PlayStation 3 as Tales of Graces f and featured an additional lengthy story arc. It was only the PS3 version that received an English localization. The game tells the story of Asbel within the world of Ephinea.
