No differences, maybe they will improve the localization a little bit, but that would be it.

IME, none, pretty sure DLC is universal too (unlike the PS4)

Wow. So it sounds like I really will be playing Dark Souls 3 today. What an unexpected turn of events.

Wait, people have been banned for buying games from foreign storefronts on Xbox before? That seems weird as hell. I can't imagine how many things I've bought on a Japanese PSN account.
No, they haven't, people have been doing it since day one.
edit : at least on the XBO, there were/are issues with doing it on the X360.

I've never heard of anyone being banned, I've done it for ages and know others have too, no bans.
MS even posted a guide about buying from a foreign region.

It's not even about the wait. The Souls experience is unique and interesting when everyone is going at it together. In 3 weeks chances for spoilers are huge even on this board. People post small details all the time without spoiler tags.

Welp. Think I'm going for it. I'm on holiday when it drops so won't get to play it until about a week after release anyway. Time to jump in now.
Here's hoping this doesn't bite any of us buying it this way in the ass and Microsoft somehow stop us accessing the game early once they realise.

Stop worrying, people have been doing it for YEARS!

So if the text is available in english, german, etc... Why the hell, won't they release it now worldwide?
Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of global marketing and licensing, it's bizarre.
And we will go at it together, brother... in three weeks. I mean, I'm sure the Japanese Souls community aren't going to be completely tired and sick of DS3 by then, so we can all join them, and even then I'm also sure the NA and EU community combined is bigger than the Japanese one.
Basically my point is that we don't know any potential risks involved, because I'm not sure if this is even allowed, but even then three weeks are over before we know it.

Well that's all the confirmation I need. Buying.
Well, I mean
They aren't even going to great lengths with this lol, seems easy as pie
Do a simple purchase on a store and play the game how it's going to be released in 3 weeks anyway?

I hope everyone on X1 can get this and enjoy the game. Ha they should just announce an earlier release date for world wide.
You better be doing legs today.

I'd be surprised if this game didn't include Denuvo.. so i doubt it

Indeed, took about 10 seconds for me, just used the US embassy address like someone else said here. No need for alt accounts either.

I'd say that's impossible, since i'm 100% sure they will use Denuvo.
It does not.
Since you're the expert (no sarcasm), what's the quickest way to do it?
The problem is that it's not only Japanese (I was okay with that). Now it's Xbox and "select streamers" doing it. Spoilers are going to everywhere. I am sure will even make spoilerific thread titles.

Annoying the pop-up window when purchasing the game doesn't translate. Inputting a Japanese address is going to be tough this way since my Japanese knowledge is zero.
Halp, pls?

Here's a guide someone put on Reddit for how to do this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkSouls3..._japanese_version_be_released_for_ps4/d0l63ga
Haven't done it myself yet so I can't say this method is actually the best.

I hope you enjoyed your little rebellion, irritant. But remember, what SHODAN gives she is more than able to take away.
So has anyone found a way to get credit on the JP store without already having a Japanese credit card? You can't use PayPal and I can't seem to find a way to buy JP store points with just a code online (ie, not getting a physical card)

Enjoy it, you guys. I'm a bit jealous, but at least I got it for $30 on PC.

The guide I just linked to explains how to buy codes off Japanese Amazon.

Its referring to the JP PSN version
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.
