Will toa story collab events got translated?like sakura taisen i mean

[nekomaki]

well, it'll be translated, just be patient -3-

[Leirya]

It hasn't been translated even though it's a rerun, so it might not be at all...

[Aihe]

Being a rerun doesn't really matter. It was first released before english patch so they need to translate it like any other event. English translations obviously are not high on their priority list while releasing new content so expect delays in the future as well. To be hones, I don't understand why people even ask about it. You're not missing anything good anyway.

Well playing a game without understanding the story is like eating a sushi without a rice,so something feels like a bit off,its kinda sad

[Aihe]

Keeping that analogy, reading story in GBF is like eating sushi with bad quality, overcooked and slightly spoiled rice. You're better throwing it away and just eating the seaweed and what was inside.

Fresh sashimi is so good though, you don't even need the rice. Although I guess that isn't sushi anymore. Back on topic, when the ToA collab was announced, there was no mention that it will be translated at a future date, while Sakura Wars did receive that notice in the announcement. I wouldn't hold my breath. A bit of good news is that the event banner in the Menu did get a translation, and now reads "A Tale of Intersecting Fates", so there's a glimmer of hope yet.

Everything (Characters, Weapons, Story, Ect.) has been translated now. As of the typing of this post, the only thing that hasn't been translated is the Prize/Reward screen for playing Tales of Asteria.

Awesome
Always happy to be wrong ^^

I think that this is kind of their plan, to make collabs just in japanese first for a few days... but I don't know why. About story, except for some small things, I find GBF story at least enjoyable. There are things with worse quality... but about event story, if it's in japanese, you can always read again in english throgh Lyria's Journal.

Looks like that may be the case.
The only reason I can think of would be something to do with licensing. I haven't really played the other games much, but apart from street fighter, I don't think they have an English version.
How would it feel as a Japanese developer where the first English translation of your IP is in a different game...

The Tales series is notorious for getting no/slow localization but most, if not all, of the main series do end up with a translation. As of late they've been stepping up the localization speed and localized versions make it to NA/EU within a year.

Vesperia (Yuri), Xillia (Milla), and Graces (Sophie) all have English versions so we're in the clear for this collab. =D
Next collab is Destiny (Stahn), Abyss (Tear), and Xillia (Elize) and all of these have also been localized as well.

To my knowledge, the only main series Tales game without an English version is Rebirth and you wouldn't use Veigue/Claire until you're running low on collab characters. Unless they use a spinoff game lead like Kannono or Del/Mio, and future Tales collabs should be in the clear from this potential issue.
