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

I did this all at work. I used Chrome app on iOS and it translates the website for you. Now is it auto downloading? That's how digital usually works on XBO if you have your settings set properly? Or do I need to be there to change the settings (region) manually?

Chrome app is the best for doing this on your smart phone.
 
Any US/EU people able to play this online? I don't have Live but if the servers are offline there's no reason to resubscribe.
 
I was able to use my previously downloaded US version after getting my digital refund and buying from the JP store.

Is there anything to buy with my stranded points?
 
I'm at the checkout and it is asking if I want to purchase the giftcards. Is this correct, or am I literally going to order cards here?

Someone said the Xbox version is unpatched so online won't work. Whatever the reason online doesn't work on the US/EU versions yet.
 
So, the Dark Souls 3 subreddit is blowing up because of this. Not only that, but there are many users on there posting how unfair it is to send popular streamers english copies of this game today.

They're trying to start a #FreeDarkSouls3 or #ReleaseDarkSouls3 movement.
 
it has been an hour and a half and they didn't send me the code yet

Make sure you check the correct email. They sent the codes to my hotmail address that I only use for logging in (yeah I can change it, but I'm lazy) instead of the gmail one I have with Paypal.
 
This just shows how incredibly stupid it was for Bandai Namco to release this game three weeks later in the west. What a joke.

Yeah, with the game being already done in development and just sitting there...it sure sucks. Supposedly its due to the end of the fiscal year?
 
Can someone do a little guide step by step from the start? I'm sorry but i'm not sure how to do this, even after reading the first post.

Also, does it works with the Hong Kong store too?

ive got one of the two codes ...but the 3000yen code still pending in paypal and they sent me an email about them receiving my order

so i just have to wait T.T
 
If that's the case, it makes even less sense to delay the release worldwide.

*sigh*

I know. I wish Bandai-Namco would just release it digitally, then have the physical version come out on the 12th of April. Sony did a similar thing with Beyond Two Souls Remastered, I believe.
 
Happy for the people that are going to play this early but man fuck Namco.

Now I have to avoid spoilers for 3 weeks and I'm already seeing videos all over YouTube. Part of the fun of Souls has always been discovering things as a community but that's going to be diminished now. Lame as fuck. I have an Xbox One but I'm waiting for the PC version.

this.
 
100% can confirm the game works fine downloaded on my UK account everything is in English. The framerate is terrible so I might still wait a few weeks for the PC release.

We noticed you're shopping from United States. This item is not available for purchase due to geographical restrictions. Not Shopping from United States? Change your country setting

This is what I get after signing up for a amazon.co.jp account. When I select change country settings japan is not listed as a country I can choose.

I'm too damned dumb for this.

Yep...I don't have an Xbox One, so this thing is making me seriously consider importing the PS4 version. I didn't want to do that, because it's going to be a diminished experience having to Engrish-translate everything, but I really do not want to miss out on the experience of playing through the thing with the larger community on release.

How is this different than the delays in release for Demon's Souls and Dark Souls? The only souls game to get a same week release was Dark Souls 2.

You need a japanese address. but warning a bunch of us were locked out of our accounts doing this process.
 
FromSoft you asshats

Still 60FPS > playing early.

It makes it bearable

Yeah. Really want to play, but according to the import OT, the game has a lot of performance problems on the PS4 at least, with sub 30fps drops quite often. Can't really experience the game for the first time more than once either.

Yeah delaying the release so streamers can play the game first is straight up bullshit. This game should be out now.
