Do we know with absolute certainty that the Japanese version of the game won't include english text?
Oh, so you unknowingly cheesed the game using a completely broken ability. I see. That's slightly more believable. Even then I think you're underestimating your death count. It's pretty funny that you implied it was your previous experience with Demon's Souls that enabled you to complete the game with such few deaths when the actual reason was "Iron Flesh."
If you have seen his three Press Event-videos, there is nothing new.
But as the other poster said; bosses, weapons, locations and characters.
Knowingly cheesed? I knowingly used an ability that seemed extremely powerful yes, but your tone suggests that I knew about it prior, which I didn't. In this instance, not only was I lucky for playing a Pryomancer (which played nothing like I expected), I was lucky that the ability was so good initially. Would my death count have been a lot higher without it, and closer to what seems to be the average? Most likely yes. So this says nothing about actual "skill" and more about just being prepared and sticking with what's been working.

No English text.
edit: Actually, if you've ever played any of the Diablo games in Hardcore mode, then you'd know about how I approached Dark Souls.
Try GameStop. They still have some it seems.Is the PS4 collector's edition completely sold out? Any words on that? I see that some stores have the Xbox One version up for pre-order, but not anything on PS4 (or PC either for that matter).
totally done and done
I intend to stream it on wednesday. Since I can't understand menus and item descriptions, it may be nice to have people around.
So how are people planning on dealing with the menus/item descriptions/status effects/ring properties etc if they don't know Japanese? I don't know if I can wait another 3+ weeks...
I used to approach Hardcore Diablo by being a huge coward and overlevelling myself.
"Oh, I should be level 20 for this area."
*grinds to 30-40*

are there people that are going to buy the Japanese version instead of waiting 3 weeks for the international release?
Many, https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkSouls3JPN/ all info are there...
I'm sooooo near to pay 25$ more just for having this in 3day xD

That's what they've been discussing. Some that are, are also doing so because they can actually read Japanese.

I'm in the same boat man. I just hope I can keep myself distracted instead of spoiling the rest of the game for myself.I'm a huge Souls/Bloodborne fan (I actually bought a PS4 just for Bloodborne) but I have no interest in buying the Japanese version...I can wait 3 weeks...but cheers to those who need to play it sooner

I don't even know how. I want to since its the last souls game and I might not have this chance again since I fully spoiled DS1 and Bloodborne for myself. But uh.it's a struggleAre you going to take measures to defend yourself from spoilers when the japanese version launches? or are you going to embrace them? I for one am going to spoil myself fully, I am sorry but I don't have patience.
I've spoiled the first 3 bosses, areas and some quests and NPC's so I feel like I've seen way more than enough. But I crave more.I'm going into lockdown mode once it gets released...even now I'm just skimming through videos as I don't want to be spoiled...even then I regret watching those few seconds as I saw a few things I didn't want to know about
the last video showed that Mimic Cry chests would be back for DS3

I think it'll probably be a decent length, then we're getting two expansions, hopefully AOTA size or bigger so overall we're in for a pretty large game with dense areas and plenty of combat.I did that for Dark Souls 2 and I'm never doing it again...the Souls game for me are about exploration and combat and I don't want to cheat myself out of 3-4 hours of the game...I do wonder how long the game will be though and if it'll be longer then DS2

the only reason not to spoil yourself is that it'll make you want the game more.
Spoilers can't ruin any piece of media for me. So I'll probably watch streams.
And because not many people enjoy knowing the ending of a movie or book, or a major plot spoiler before seeing it for themselves?
Have you seen The Force Awakens yet?
BTW:gotcha!
So when does the embargo for reviews lift on this anyway?
You take no enjoyment from figuring out how to beat a boss on your own? I didn't have a console back when DS2 released and watched the first half of the game on streams while I waited for the PC version, regretted it a whole lot.
Screw it, got $100 worth of PSN gift cards from people for my birthday, going to use that to drown the guilt of double dipping with the JP version.
not true.
Not really that hard so nah. This is how I played DS2 and only died 7-9 times (normal not SOFTS)
I came into a boss room, then I dodged/blocked for a minute or two and then I just saw how all it's moves worked and I killed it. It's pretty brainless with a sword and board/fast roll.
The game is out 23rd at 11 am eastern. So i guess + or - 8hours of that time.
Yeah, I'm more interested in reviews of the English version. Did a bit of digging and it doesn't look like the embargo date has been publicised.all those reviews will probably only be Japanese review sites
