Dark Souls III in English is now available on the Xbox One after buying on JP store

You probably still need to add an address to your account (Microsoft account)

I did but no change. Also my currency under account.microsoft.com is €. Do i change that somewhere else?

EDIT: Seems i couldnt redeem my code online... worked just fine on the console (set to japanese) :)
 
I used paypal at checkout, added a Japan address for the billing info on their site, then you log into paypal as normal,click stuff, it goes back to the microsoftstore as normal, then I bought.

I open a Paypal account for this, but I'm having trouble finding where to buy the yen cards in the ms store
 
Did your payment go through with paypal? If so, also check spam to be safe.

Oh I checked PayPal &

I wonder what the deal is...
 
When a dev like From gets partnered with a publisher like Namco... I'm grateful of the outcome we have in that Xbox and PC owners get Souls, but man this shit probably wouldn't have happened if Sony took up the IP. Or at least a better publisher than Namco.

Sony wouldn't have published an Xbone game, no.
 
Hmmm this is what my email looks like...

& when I try to enter my order number & email address on the Microsoft Store to check my order, it says it can't find it :I

same thing i've got my 5000yen but im waiting for the 3000yen

and in the checkout it said

"We have received your order. There are cases where the billing to your order processing and credit card take four to six hours. As soon as completed, we will contact you by e-mail along with the download information."

***Bumping for this guy, if anyone can help him out. I have no clue what the issue could be, it sounds like it might be on microsofts end but no way to tell.

Anyone willing to help me... I have 8000 yen on my xbox account... STILL WONT LET ME BUY IT FROM JAPAN STORE... I am willing to tip 20 dollars.. i have never been so frustrated in my life...

Go to this page:

Select the Japan region, under Indonesia.

Search for 'Card'.
 
Okay got the game downloading on US console - US locale

Do I change the xbox store/Marketplace back to us from japan ?

after before downloading ?
 
How do i buy the yen cards from the Microsoft store? i put my CC info in but it didn't go through. Should I make a paypal and use that?

He may need to have a CC attached to his MS account, but I am not sure. No reason they wouldn't allow preapproved payment to go through.

On the actual console? You didn't need to change it, but change it back to US whenever.

Xbox.com? Change it after you've bought the game.

Are you trying to buy from the web store or from the Xbox One Store? If its from the web store, try using another browser. I had issues with chrome, but my purchase went smooth while using Microsoft Edge. Dunno why tho
 
Haha I wouldn't say expert at all but this is how I would do it

Use this to change the region of the Microsoft store - http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msuk/en_GB/DisplayWorldWidePage/

From here change to Japan and buy 1x 5000 yen and 1x 3000 yen digital credit using PayPal and an address found on google.

Then use this to change the region of the Xbox store - https://live.xbox.com/Shell/ChangeLocale

From here redeem the 2 digital codes you purchased on the microsoft store and then purchase Dark Souls 3.

You're now done and ready to download from your console without switching regions on it at all.
This is the address I, and a few others here, used. Each new line is a new entry box, just follow it down:

107-8420

秋田県 (this is the drop down menu)

Akasaka

1-10-5

日本
Click the bottom green box on right not left to confirm

follow down

and the symbol is 秋田 in the drop down

BOOM U.S. people ... paypal is the way to go ... thanks everyone
 
I might just quit doing and wait for 3 weeks, maybe I'm just old, but this is proving to be too complicated with the Japanese language.
 
So I used paypal to buy 2 cards from the Microsoft store (3000 & 5000 yen using the address provided several posts up) and got the codes right away. Had the Dark Souls 3 purchase page up in one tab, code redemption page in another. I redeemed both codes and had the 8000 in my account, swapped over to the store front and clicked the green purchase button and it deducted the amount from my 8000 yen balance. Game got! Just turned on my Xbox after it was all said and done and it worked, DS3 is downloading. Pleasantly surprised and thanks to everyone who figured this out and explained the process. I'll keep playing more Salt & Sanctuary while I wait. I usually play all these games on my Playstation, but an exception can be made this time.

This is all one big ruse by Microsoft to get people using Edge
 
I'm entering checkout on the MS store in japanese, and it's asking for an address (I think?)

do I need to come up with a japanese address?

I wish it would just let me login with paypal like everything else

Yes, the address some of us used is on the last few pages.

There's some addresses in posts on the last page.
 
Maybe I'll cancel my preorder on the xbox store through support and get on this tonight.

It's still working, yeah?

I did this exact thing about an hour ago. Told support I was considering getting it on PC for better performance and they refunded it...

It's gonna be awwwwwwkward if they notice that I bought it with Yen 20 minutes after they refunded me :)

I completed the purchase, but I'm still at work so I haven't gotten to go home and make sure it downloads yet.
 
I'm in the Checkout page, using paypal, in what part I have to put my paypla information, and what exactly is my paypal information that I need to use to be link to my Paypal that I just opened?

Ok. So you are at the checkout page. You need to select paypal and add a japanese address.

You can use this one:

107-8420

秋田県 (this is the drop down menu)

Akasaka

I've got the cards in my checkout for the Japanese ms store but that example everyone is using for the address is only 5 sections worth of info, the store needs 7?

I did that, so After I click submit, it will take money from my paypal account??, Do I need to do something specific in Paypal? I open up that paypal account just now and the only thing I have done is add a Credit Card and confirm the Email.
