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

Glad I already pre-purchased the PC version, otherwise I might be tempted to do this. The 3-week wait is going to be unbearable, but the 60FPS + higher resolution makes it slightly less painful.
 
I'm not sure why some people are surprised the game is already translated into English. Of course it is. They weren't going to delay it for 3 weeks to finish a localisation lol

This is just Bamco being goddamn stupid.

You buy the game from the Japanese store, switch to English, preload the English version and just start it.

dont even need to do this

Buy game off xbox.com, JP region, turn on xbox and download it, no need to change any xbox settings if its already on English
Dodging spoilers was becoming difficult at best currently as it was

this just makes it even worse

it's a good job only 13 people own an xbox one

Piss off with this shite

Fucking crazy

Cant imagine MS/From wont put a stop to this somehow

Doubt they care since you're using Japanese MS points. MS decided to make the Xbox One completely region-free as well. They need the Japanese sales anyway. Win win.

you dont even have to download the english version, there is no english version

its just 1 game and the language is changing depending on the region you have set
 
Thank you for delaying the console/pc versions in english for your markting/fiscal year bullshit Bandai, hope From Software finds another publisher for future games. Your Prepare to Die campaign was horrible, and now chicken wings.

How would I do this please....I'm trying

I assume you don't need a VPN for JP

On xbox.com scroll to the bottom of the page, click the lower left hand corner and change it to japan, search for dark souls 3, buy it, use a JP address (Hotel etc), then turn on xbox and download it from your games ready to install section

keep in mind that you cant use a non japanese credit card so you have to buy xbox credit (YEN!! NOT US OR EURO)

but yea its pretty simple and u dont need VPN

I hate Namco for making us put up with this bullshit instead of not tarnishing this release and just doing it worldwide.

PS4 users am cry.

Which begs the question: why the fuck do we have to wait 3 weeks still if this game is already available (not officially, but still)? Even streamers are playing the english version already.

yeah its really simple, even easier with the xbox credit tbh

Nope, that's not true. I booted up the English version with the console set to Japanese and it was English. I have never even seen the Japanese version lol. There are seperate versions, one is 17.2 GB (JP) and one is 17.3 GB (English)

PS4 and Steam, aka, the majority of the Souls player base.

Fuck you Bamco.

Yeah, pretty much. They should just release it early now for everyone.

Yup

Im legit pissed

Legit pissed is a bit strong for something that shouldn't even really be the case and is only achievable through sorta gaming the system. Still as I said, it begs the question why they are holding back the official release with 3 weeks.

!!!!!

Temptation rising. Will keep an eye on this. Heading back home now so no reason to buy it at the moment but maybe in a few hours.

So ok when I click on it to buy it changes to pre order in UK pounds.

I am really tempted :/...this is bad
So glad the xbox one is region free..... I think im going to do it.

Company financials. 2016's second financial quarter begins April 1. I'm sure the release was held back beyond that date. Beyond that, who knows. It's very frustrating.
