My translation:
Tomizawa also mentioned that Tales of Vesperia remaster took three years to complete. Sold 1 million+. And he said future remaster will include localization.
I wonder if he already has a candidate in mind.
Lock it old.

New to the Tales series but I really enjoyed the Tales of Arise demo so I'll definitely pick up any Tales remasters that come out.

i think he's just saying that he hopes to intersperse remasters in between new entries in the series. he thinks that a string of remasters won't expand the player base but a new game will so it'll keep remasters selling higher and higher with each one.
That would be nice too, never played that. Neither the Xillia games, those would be good for a future remaster after Abyss and/or Destiny.
That makes sense thanks.
If they bring back an already localized game, I would want Abyss.
If it's a newly localized game, I'd want ToD DC.
Can they remaster Symphonia again but present it in an acceptable fashion this time around? The PlayStation 3 version I played was unacceptable on multiple levels, and the initial Steam release was...yeah.
OP: "future remaster will include localization"
Immediate replies: *ask for already localized games*
We need both Destinies, Rebirth, NDX and Innocence god dammit.
I'm guessing the rumor came from the fact that the producer actually said he wanted Destiny to be brought out over seas in the video where they went over top selling titles in the series. In it, it basically showed that out of the 1.7-ish million copies that Destiny has sold, only about 60k of those came from outside of Asia.

Gimme all the games that never came to the west! All of them! And I want the DS versions of Hearts and Innocense and not the crappy Vita versions too.
Yeah, that was genuinely upsetting, especially for one of their biggest selling titles. But then, Bamco has also treated Phantasia pretty poorly too in recent years, the game that started the franchise it is today. They need new remasters.
I think that rumor was from a notoriously unreliable source unfortunately.
Vesperia was the only Tales game i finished. I wanted to try the remaster but couldnt bring myself to it. I liked the demo of Arise so im gonna get that....and if any other remasters pop up ill prob get them too.
I would love more than anything for it to be Abyss but wouldn't mind getting Tales of Rebirth or Tales of Destiny 1&2. I would be alright with some straight up ports with some retouching here and there on older titles but thats just me.
I would commend them for at least fixing up the stray typo here and there from the GC release, but holy cow, they left in the freaking dialogue coding for numerous lines! How does that happen?!
Man, last decade was freakin' brutal for Tales -- hopefully Arise delivers.
How the hell did Vesperia take 3 years? It was already all there on the PS3, did the remaster have a ton of extra content I'm not aware of?
Must have been worked on by 3 people or most of those years had to be just talking about what it needs to get done. I've never ever heard of a remaster taking that long. A remake sure, remaster? Nope.

In a subsequent tweet, Tomizawa praised the comprehensiveness of SQEX approach on porting / remastering / remaking Final Fantasy which is only possible with precise planning and production management, and he said they should aim for that.
Basically have a cycle of new title -> remaster that allows for a healthy stream of old and new players + new players buying remasters if they enjoy the series
basically content engagement
I do agree that remasters ain't bringing new fans, but they're great for current fans
ooh, sure hope it's Destiny PS2. Destiny 2 alongside it wouldn't be bad at all.
We could get Rebirth later

Sure hope they don't do a Zestiria on this one (if it really gets remastered)
Switching to unreal will likely draw some new people in. I have friends who skipped out because they were turned off by the "cartoony" look. But I know they'd of loved the gameplay. I hope the series really benefits. I love it.
You assume it was the content that took so much and not the code. This was a PS3 game ported to four platforms, including Switch.
The talked recently about wanting to bring Destiny to the west, so it's very likely that the next remastered collection we will get will be it.
Destiny 1(the remake), Destiny 1 Director's Cut (The whole game from Juda's POV), and Destiny 2 never came out in English.
