No, switch back to English region xbox then download it.

Wait, so switch back to english region before or after buying the game?

Is this version just the American one? Can we play online?

Hopefully MS doesn't ban for this.

Still confused about this as well. Does setting back to english region make the game the american version, or is it still the japanese version?

Only Xbox One.
PS4 is Japanese only.
I think it has something to do that MS is an American company, so they have English included.

It has nothing to do with this AFAIK.
It's because you buy the game from the JP store but you download the english version from the US or UK store etc... then the game will be activated because you originally bought the game from the JP store.

It is still the Japanese version, but as already stated, this game is already done localized.
Not sure about the online, ROB said people were banned for buying Fallout 4 somewhere else, but not sure here if From does care or MS does.

Do achievements go into the same pool? 3 weeks is a long ass time, but I feel like it will be best to wait.
 
This is too confusing. If I set my xbox to japan language, I can't tell what any of the menus are. It's confusing enough in english...

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


From the other thread

Should be, achievements should be in English too.

It has nothing to do with this AFAIK.

Sounds more like a glitch, than intentional.

Buy the game on Xbox.com Japan or with your Xbox region switched to Japan, either works. Then download the game while your Xbox region is set to US.

incredible that this Xbox region switch works 3 weeks before release, props to whoever figured it out!

edit: think it was Gaffer bidguy who tried it first and said it would work, so props to you sir!

I'll stick with the PS4 version, but this is such a great FU to Namco's "delayed release because fiscal year but streamers get it early anyway" bullshit.

Marketing?

Bandai Namco?

Having them sell the game in the social space by letting media and streamers have it early?

If by marketing you mean spoil the game for thousands of people and take away the mystique, then sure.

Can't see how FROM is happy about this.

sorry I'm sure this has been stated somewhere but I can't find it.

How do I buy DS3 on the japanese market place? Can I just use my debit card? If I can't what gift cards do I buy?

I need a full tutorial because I've never done this.

One way to get people to buy more digital games and get away from physical would to release digital games earlier, not sure what hoops would have to be jumped through by companies, but I would be swayed to pay more and no trade in value if I could get a game earlier, even a week earlier.

I can't believe that us PC players are getting punished like this :|

True that. PS4 and Xbox One both get to play now and I have to wait three weeks. I have a week off work now for easter and in three weeks I am very busy plus have to travel for another week right after release. So, if I had any console I would buy now too.

Does anyone know what I might have done wrong? Imagine just trying again isn't the best idea. Followed the reddit instructions.

Im on xbox.com japense store..asking for my card info in japanese.. cant figure this out :/

Gonna be real with y'all. If you can't figure it out, you probably shouldn't mess with it. The game is gonna be a good deal more complicated than trying to purchase the game itself. You're just going to frustrate yourself. It might be better to just outright wait (unless something wacky happens).
