Does anyone know if the trick used for Xbox russia where you change your computer region to russia and then buy the Xbox Live codes through the microsoft xbox store works for Japan as well?
The game plays and looks very good but it falls incredibly short on boss fights, that's my main complaint. And yes, you'll be constantly warping as no area leads back to the hub, at least so far.

Died to the
after the first boss, then came back (since I'm cleric) and force pushed him off the side. =)

Kinda disappointing
Still a personal opinion, though and he/she hasn't beaten the game yet. Depends of what you look for in a Souls game, right?

That's what I was waiting to hear more about and it really kills a lot of my excitement to be frank. This is the complete opposite of what was promised and I felt so burnt by DS2 already that I can't help but have this 'better deliver above and beyond what was promised to make up for that shit' attitude towards DS3. DeS made it work because it was structured around it, why the fuck even give us the illusion of a seamless world like DS1 just to essentially make it a tease?
I mean, if there is no interconnectivity between separate areas halfway through the game, that's my worst criticism of the crutch of insta-warping come true. Shit, can't figure out how to DS1 it, well, alright, let's warp again, FIXED!

Anyone figure out how to swap X and O? I'd rather not get too used to this configuration since I doubt I'll be using it once the English version is out.

Seems like this game is a huge mash up of Dark Souls 1, 2 and Bloodborne
Kind of crazy

In your Accessibility settings, flip X and O.
I just want to be clear before I try and do this.....
When you purchase the game on the XBO Japan store and switch back to US and download it, the game is COMPLETELY in English? I know the voice acting was always in English, but what about menus and items?
The few streamers posting here show their item names in Japanese, but I don't know if that is because they downloaded it prior to switching back to the US store or not.
So if I do this, IS EVERYTHING IN ENGLISH?

Yeah, it never bothered me. Sure it was cool, but I enjoy open world games as much as I enjoy levels.
Also asset reuse is fine IMO, I mean I lived when Morrigan's sprite in every Capcom game was a running joke.
What I wasn't is a solid story, good PvP, and more of that glorious Souls combat. Shame to hear
some of the bosses aren't that hype / difficult, but maybe that's just us getting used to these games?

Perfect, thanks man.
The game seems great so far. Only through a boss and a half but everything feels nice and smooth, the setting is beautiful, and the new weapons arts stuff is fantastic. Playing as a deprived so the club is doing considerable damage to everything around me. No idea how the other weapons are yet.

All of the people describing this as Demons souls mashed with dark souls and bloodbourne have me very excited. That sounds great

From the stream I'm watching, it's all interconnected, except for Firelink Shrine and the High Wall of Lothric. These two are separate, but the rest is one huge chunk of awesome.

I will never understand the obsession with connected hubs. Did people actually enjoy the tedium of walking though all those transparently connected paths back to Firelink Shrine?

Basically exactly what I expected. Attaching Miyazaki's name to it seemed a bit suspect. No way any person can churn out quality games on an annual basis. I feel totally comfortable skipping this and waiting for From to launch a new franchise. I'd rather replay Demon's, Dark 1, or BB in the meantime if I get the itch.

Did they not do the same thing for Dark Souls initially? I'm sure it was for localization reasons back then, but still. It's not like there isn't president for this.
Why i'm not surprised that this game is much easier than the other souls?
I'm surprise because BB was not easy, and got a huge success. I don't know why they decide to change that...
Also that would make a big marketing hit with the streamer, "check them die all the time", which I'm surprise they didn't made

Im feeling like whoever designed the bosses for Ds2 did this game as well. So far the bosses ive seen(1st 3) are pretty vanilla in terms of difficulty. Nothing too special or jaw dropping. Hopefullt that isnt the case for the majority of the game.

Your first Souls is the hardest. It's always like this every release. People bitched that DaS was too easy vs DeS. People bitched that DaSII was easy vs DaS. And people bitched that Bloodborne was easy vs DaSII
We are 4 games in. People are used to the gameplay now.

It's also down to personal experience too. It's not like EVERYBODY will think DSIII is easy. If you were to poll every Gaffer on their challenge experience with the series, some people's easiest game will be 10 people's hardest.
Yes I wonder why someone's fifth Souls game isn't especially hard.
Outside the Chalice Dungeons and DLC I breezed through Bloodborne beyond one or two difficulty spikes, but that's because it's the fourth game in the series I played.
Can anyone who has it give me some clarification on how classes work? Looks like classes give you a starting weapon and some starting weapon arts for that weapon. Does that lock you in to those weapons? Can you only use the art for that particular starting weapon? Can I change my mind later and pick up a different weapon like the previous games?

So
Neat.
It does dictate your starting stats and equipment, but as in all Souls games you aren't locked to them. Pick a class that seems like a good fit for you at first, but know that you're free to branch out!
Invaders can use Estus, but at half the normal healing rate.

The bosses I've seen look far more polished than anything in Vanilla DS2. As long as I get a couple of O&S, Arrorias-quality fights I'll be happy.

Sorry if it's already been asked but there were rumours of a "casual" mode/difficulty setting before release.
Is it true?
It's the only way I'm gonna play this game.
