1 hour and 10 minutes approx.

Today already? Damn, I need to get home ASAP to turn on my PS4.

I thought it was next night or morning, would've preloaded already otherwise

 

[Kiyo]

Yes, but I don't know if Amazon.jp also gives foreigners digital codes directly. Play-Asia works just fine.

You can buy Xbox digital codes off Amazon.co.jp but not PSN digital codes, only physical for PSN.

Also only 1 hour 15 mins, so excited!

Yeah, game releases today in Japan, most streams were broken street date copies.

 

[aravuus]

Pre-order cancelled. I wait for reviews and other articles regarding matchmaking. Multiplayer is very important to me since demon's souls and it was perfectly fine before Bloodborne.

Regarding pvp

Maybe this should be on the OP so people would stop panicking

e: or maybe not, I don't think people actually read the OP lol

I don't think there is digital codes of DS3 XB1 ver in amazon JP? i only find PC code.

 

[Onemic]

Graphically is this game the same as Scholar of the First Sin for PC? It certainly looks like it.

 

[idonteven]

[Hypron]

It's 2:50 am and I've been laying in bed for the past 2 hours, trying to get some rest before playing the game... But I can't go to sleep D: I'm too excited haha

I have to do some tutoring this afternoon... I'm going to be so tired.

Well I've read they used the Blood Borne engine for Dark Souls III, not sure if SotFS used an older engine version.

They're referring to the prepaid yen cards - http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B0185GWBL6/

In!

 

[Nivert]

What time are the english streamers allowed to play the PC version again?

In an hour

 

[HGH]

All the streamers I'm watching seem to be running in circles. One I've been watching for the last 7 hours seems to be just going around the tutorial area again.
I guess early streamer syndrome means people are gonna be lost as all heck huh?

LOL what?

 

[Jindrael]

Under one hour!

We are almost there everyone.

 

[Mendrox]

Still two hours till I get off work, 40minutes till home, 20 minutes to buy some more tasty stuff and then I can start to kick ass. Finally.

 

[Xeroblade]

What time are the english streamers allowed to play the PC version again?

11 am EST? Not entirely sure.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

It's almost time! Just gotta drive home from campus :3

I can expect that later in the game if there is a certain item required to advance in the game. Especially for English players,

 

[Kaibutsu]

Giant Bomb East streaming at 11 AM EDT too!

 

[Carl7]

I'm ready.

 

[KAOz]

Örebro, svenskar?


I think I'll simply have to look, I can't wait for 3 weeks..

Yepp. Vet dock inte om Yoshi bor kvar här. Tänker anta det.

Three fucking weeks now.... cant stop the hype. I am jealous of you guys playing it.

But I am hoping you all have fun! Even you guys who dont know the language.

 

[Baliis]

I should've just imported this shouldn't I. Oh well, I can wait while I wrap some other games up.

 

[Yoshichan]

Örebro, svenskar?

45 minutes, GAF! Just drinking my coffee Have we confirmed if the Japanese PS4 version uses alternate button prompts for X and O? Just wondering if I should switch the button assignments before jumping in. Cheers.

[Novum_Veritas]

JPN version for PS4.
PC version will release in 3 weeks.
Reviewers and Streamers already have the PC version ready, also in English.

 

[Sylas]

You are literally in the import thread. People are downloading the JP version for PS4.

PC players are streamers/press who got early copies.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Would like to know this as well

Was under the impression that PC version wasn't releasing japanese version.


Nice edit. Maybe don't be such a dick next time

 

[idonteven]

lucky streamers...half of them are not even huge soul fans but still got the game early and free

I saw a little bit of a stream yesterday and it showed circle for picking up an item. I don't know if this was on a Japanese PS4 or not though, or if that even makes a difference.

Only a small amount of YouTubers who got invited to play dark souls 3 have a copy.
Exit: guess there are a few more :lol

Cool, thanks; sounds like it probably is. Guess we'll find out first hand soon enough.

 

[ironcreed]

Indeed. These staggered releases always suck.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Thanks Irawr

 

[Klyka]

This game will score 10/10 on nostalgia alone

 

[Mifec]

The perks of the job :3

 

[iPanDa]

i really want to play as a sorcerer but almost everyone is saying that its easy mode is it true?

 

[ponpo]

A good stream, finally.

What was wrong with every other stream people were watching?

i really want to play as a sorcerer but almost everyone is saying that its easy mode is it true?

I think the game will be easy or hard regardless on your build and dependent on how competent you are at souls games. The people on streams have been shit or great but it's had nothing to do with what they've been using.

 

[Novum_Veritas]

Those mother fuckers

Agreed, but oh well, we will a lot of streams only showing the game to 1/3.
TBH this is dumb too, because every streamer will hold streaming on the same location.
This will get boring fast lol.

 

[ogbg]

I wonder when they found about about that. Oroboro was talking about how he was going to play the Japanese version only last week.

 

[ced]

So I saw my most hated souls enemy on a stream last night...

Spoiler

Fucking wheel skeletons

 

[william_557]

will a spoiler thread be going up for the japanese version?

 

[DrROBschiz]

3 weeks is too long to endure this bullshit lol

Gawd I want it NAOW

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

will a spoiler thread be going up for the japanese version?

Would be nice. People were posting spoilers last night without spoilers tag :|
