Just do it man, no sense in waiting, you already have the first step down you know what to do.. why put yourself though the torture of knowing you could be playing.

Because I'm essentially paying an extra $20 for early access :p Hum hum hum... I haven't ever played a Souls game imported, much less any other game in a language other than English (barring games with English subs of course), so this will be new for me in lots of ways. But if ever there was a series I would import for, it'd be Souls...

As I said, dex/str weapon (requires more dex), can anyone that understands Japanese please take a look at the item info so we can learn a bit more?

I snapped a pic in google translate app, I think it had a bit of difficulty due to the small size and angle, but here's what I got verbatim.

Cold Eyes of the abyss is wield in combination with a large sword unique dagger, a special double-sword Takeshi.

What I figure is I'm getting the PC version at a discount anyways, so really I'm only paying $5 extra to play early and have it on both platforms. There is already a lot of English guides for menus and such and with the google translate app I can't see myself having much of an issue.

The item description indicates it is Faran's (sp?) greatsword, a weapon used by the Abyss Watchers. If you watch the opening cinematic it is pretty much the same sword as that those scary dudes are holding.

Man, can't wait for this to unlock tonight/tomorrow.

So far it seems a bit slower than Bloodborne; more shields and less forward dodging.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
What's the app that lets me translate shit from the TV to my phone called?

How is the frame rate holding up on PS4? I saw the pretty bad GIF posted earlier, but is that an isolated problem area or are those sorts of dips frequent? I'd rather play this on PS4 due to it being hooked up to the home theater, but I'll go PC if the frame rate problems are widespread.

I just went through the tedious and expensive process of getting ready for the JAP PSN release. It makes me feel a bit ashamed actually. I hope that it turns out to be worth it, but not being able to read item descriptions will surely suck.

I tested google translate app on some japanese screenshots, I think it'll be perfectly suitable for interpreting most menu option type stuff, but the lore descriptions will probably be a mess a lot of the time

That's why I couldn't do it. I think it would just sour the experience for me.

Do you just take a picture using the app? Or type it in?

load up the app, take a photo, and then the app identifies the text and you can use your finger to "paint over" what you want it to reveal in english. it's about as handy as it could possibly be, the only drawback being hte translations (at least the ones from Japanese to English) tend to be poor unless it's just single words or short phrases. In other words -- good for menu options, probably not so good for lore descriptions

The Google Translate app is definitely very cool and helpful for basic translation stuff.

It's been mentioned elsewhere in the thread but perusing this page has some helpful translation/menu stuff for those who've missed:

I'm going to enjoy playing it tomorrow, but am out of town this weekend; might be time to finally test out the Vita's remote play feature in a different country, lol.

Yeah, the lore descriptions will be guaranteed really, really difficult to understand. The Japanese used is in them is pretty damn tough.

Jealous. Going to be waiting for the US release.

Might look up some info on builds or best starting class, but I'm going to try to avoid most everything else.

so does weapon arts dmg scale with weapons or are they tied to stats

anyone have any info?

i hope the pure damage ones aren't all flash and are actually worth using

they sure look gud in motion though

After reading about classes, I think I'm going to roll with an Assassin. I'll probably rely on sword and shield + bow, but I like to be able to use magic if needed.

The guy swings the sword so hard the friction between his feet and the ground isn't enough to compensate for the torque :p
