I know exactly 0 Japanese. Just gonna use those translated screens of the menus, it should be enough to play through the game.

Oh, wow. I've never used the app, that camera translation stuff looks super handy -- that actually seems pretty practical.

Demon's Souls had a horror atmosphere to it as well. It gets labled "grimdark" or even "high fantasy" (wtf?) by some, but dark fantasy by definition is...
It's somewhat poor at translating more involved sentences from Japanese to English, but it is quite sufficient for translating simple things like menu options and other short things
Ahhh fuck... I thought it was unlocking at midnight here, I'm so hyped I forgot about the time difference between us and Japan. I think I'll just wake up early tomorrow morning and go hard.
I'm quite looking forward to playing to a game in a language I don't understand actually, it reminds me of playing Megadrive games in English back when I couldn't understand any of it.
I remember making it pretty far into Wonder Boy in Monster World, even though that game had dialogues and shops. I didn't have access to the internet back then either. Sure I wouldn't want to play every game like that but it kinda adds to the mystery haha.
hahaha 2am is probably the shittiest time for something to release. You don't know whether you should stay up for it or just wake up inhumanely early.

I'm trying to get a grasp on the style of death penalty this game has, but I can't tell from the stream and my googling doesn't show anything concrete.
I absolutely loved Bloodborne but I failed to get into DS2. Apart from the greatly different flow of rolling/and attacking I hated the level of penalty the game had with the hollowing/limited enemy respawn.
I couldn't find any answer, is there any clear idea how much this game has changed/kept?

Just silly enough to work?
No I didn't think so. The guy on the bird does look boss as fuck though and may have been better if I had seen him myself the first time, but oh well. I'm actually more worried about the crawling crowned "lady" with covered eyes being a big spoiler then anything else in that trailer.

Enemy respawn all time.
And it's more "Ember" or not "Ember". But there is rumor for
hollowing/zombie
What does that do though? Loosing health was such a pain I couldn't get to a point where I could find my stride in DS2 it felt like I was hitting my head on a wall trying to get all the nessisary items to diminish the penalties for dieing. On top of that, enemies disappearing after 10+ Kills was helpful but I was afraid of loosing grinding opportunities due to repeated deaths...so that no longer happens?
Streams certainly don't seem to be loosing max health on deaths..
They do lose health, is just not by tiny amounts like DS2. You lose all of the health possible just by 1 death, and you get it back using an ember (like human effigy in 2). Although I think you don't lose as much health as you can in DS2 (may be wrong here)
Enemies respawn endlessly in 3.

Did review copies go out or everyone just importing? Max said hes streaming tomorrow.
If' you're a VIP Streamer you get a free english copy. You ar only allowed to stream 1/3 of the game, but can play it all.
Yes, you lose a chunk at once when you go unkindled, if you use an ember you get it back. It's not gradual like in DS2.
Eh? You can stream the whole game but only upload the first third of the game to youtube
Apparently they changed it again. You can only stream all of the JP copy... The English PC version is 1/3 just like YT now.
Ahh nice.
As stupid as that sounds, but that is okay for me then.
6 hours and 7 minutes
Its what I did read recently. Honestly I don't really know how it works, because I don't follow them.
I only know they get dem free english copies :_(
Much appreciated.

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?
Can't wait for the straight 8s

Pre-preload has been downloaded, my body is ready.
So jealous. I'll probably stay and play for an hour or two, but the whole day at work tomorrow will be hell.
Yeah, I am sure it must be way tougher with an actual hard job (i.e. not "teaching" English), which you got, right? Did you try and take any nenkyuu for DS3? I managed to get Friday off.
Only 4 hours and 20 minutes to go
what ? its 4 hours and 47 min here and im pretty sure 4 hours and 20 min is not possible

Might as well finish it. I'm really close to finishing the second one. Just finished all of the DLC areas. Now to actually finish the game while doing stuff for the Dark covenant.
You should be mate. Your first run will be epic, because you will feel hunted straight from the begining.

Just read in the wiki that
are now
. So you need
. What about
Anything known about this?
hexes
miracles
int together with faith to cast them but will be using a talisman or maybe a staff for some
pyromancies then? In the op it seems like you need faith and or int to cast them. Do they replace hexes?

Has anyone invaded yet? I need to know how the invasion eligibility system works, it's going to make or break my purchase of the game. The beta limiting invasions to co-op only was the worst thing and it's why Bloodborne is my least favorite From Software game so far.
More people that will hunt him. Nice.
Yoshi dude, this could be your best playthrough ever.
Pretty sure they went back to the Dark 1 style for hexes. Some are dark sorceries, some are dark miracles, some are dark pyromancies. You'll need the appropriate catalyst, talisman, flame to properly cast each dark variant.
