Ok, there seems to be a lot of confusion on how to actually buy codes and redeem it, so I thought I should do a handy guide for those so eager to play Dark Souls III (ie: everyone here).
You can buy codes from amazon.jp, Microsoft Store or Play Asia. The guide will be focused on Microsoft Store, which is the way I used and it worked flawlessly.
Since the game costs a bit more than 7000 yen, so I'll be using as an example the 5000 yen code and the 3000 yen code.
First of all, sign in with your microsoft account. You can use your own or create a dummy account.
Here's the link to
the 5000 yen code. Press the green button to add it to your cart
Do the same thing when
adding the 3000 yen code
Cool, both codes were added to your cart, now click on it
Press the green button again to start the purchase process
Select the second option to purchase with your Microsoft Account
Choose Paypal and add the required info.
I don't have a proper japan address right now so if anyone would be so kind providing me one, it would be really helpful.
Warning: Paypal might take a few minutes or hours to clear the transaction. It will show pending for a while if you check your paypal account. As soon as its approved, you'll get an e-mail with the codes
Congrats! You just bought the codes! Now to redeem it. Here's the link for the
code redemption page (already set to japan)
Both redeemed? Awesome, now head to
Dark Souls III on the japanese store and buy the damn thing
I'm sure you'll see your xbox balance, select it and press the green button.
Warning number 2: Some people had issues doing it on Chrome or other browsers, I had to use Microsoft Edge for it to work. Now all you need is to boot up your Xbox One, make sure is in english and download it.
Enjoy Dark Souls III
PS: English isn't my first language, sorry for any weird sentences, I hope this helps!
