I just looked at Play-Asia just to see how much it would ring me if I decided to double dip and JESUS it's expensive. The 5000 yen card alone is like $70

So the Xbone version has an English mode and the PS4 version doesn't? Or is the Xbone version literally just all in English because nobody cares enough about Xbox in Japan to warrant making a dedicated JP version?

Anyone got a spare ¥3000 code sitting around? Play-Asia ran out during my transaction and now I'm stuck with just 5000  Should I just buy one from Nippon Yasan and hope for the best?

You can get an Uchigatana this early? That's pretty rad. Guy holding it was a chump, too. Also uh... How do I start the game? I got to Firelink, and I don't know where to go from here. Warping doesn't work, and obviously I can't read any of the messages to get a hint. Kite Pride Worldwide fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Mar 24, 2016 |

The warp option just comes up with some message I can't read. There's also a strange percentage counter incrementing on the main menu, and I walked into an unloaded zone earlier. Maybe my game isn't fully installed yet or something?

MrLonghair posted:If you want to go Hollow or get a certain unique merchant important for PvP, important note: Get those five free levels from Yeol before treading past the first bonfire in the Cathedral zone. That seems to be the point where Yeol curls up and dies naturally. I have set foot in the Tomb but no bonfire, I have killed Abyss watchers, that's it. About the NPC: What's the trigger for getting Yeol's free levels? Sometimes he has them, sometimes he doesn't. Speaking of another semi-early NPC: I have no idea what to think of Siegward. Is the joke that everyone from Catarina acts like this?

Jesus christ, be ready to fight if you use the Dried Finger. I'm only in the third major area, the marshlands zone, and I decided to use it only to be invaded by no less than 10 spirits back to back. 3 reds, an NPC red invader, and 6 blues. 3 Blue Sentinels warped in to help out too, but they kept getting beaten up by the giant crabs so I had to fight the invaders mostly 1v1 or even 2v1. PVP is fast and satisfying, and even though I'm fighting literally 100% Japanese players, the lag is fairly minor and consistently only about a quarter second off. I can't wait to see what it'll be like on local internet. Kite Pride Worldwide fucked around with this message at 07:05 on Mar 25, 2016 |

I was just invaded by a red phantom by myself, with no phantoms or dried finger effect active, in what I'm sure isn't a free PVP zone. Take that as you will...

net cafe scandal posted:That PVP rumor was deconfirmed a while ago, you can get invaded without accompanying phantoms as long as you're embered I think since everyone is playing at the same time in the same areas, there's a bit of confirmation bias going on since everyone you'll invade will have phantoms. Good to know 1v1 is still possible.

net cafe scandal posted:Also Japanese players are notoriously stubborn about playing Souls games in co-op mode at all times if you're playing that version, lol. More lambs to the slaughter Speaking of invasions, I had a great one earlier where I invaded some guy and his two phantoms. One of them overextended so I managed to shield-break and riposte him, and the other phantom was made of toilet paper so he folded easily. Then it was just me and the host dueling it out, both of us near death... and I slip off a one-way cliff and had to black crystal out But then, a few minutes later, guess who I invade again? The same guy already being flagged down by another invader while his phantoms get mulched by one of the giant ice lizards. His one surviving phantom was not happy to see us standing over his host's corpse It's really funny seeing the host's skills atrophy because he's been carried so long by phantoms. It's doubly amusing to see them start panicking every time you kill another phantom, which makes it that much easier cause they forget stuff like stamina management.

Scrree posted:In my experience the Dark Souls 3 "I'm getting invaded and scared about it" kit includes the helmet from the Lothric Knights, the Butcher's Knife, and two phantoms glued to his hip. The phantoms are always a cloth-garbed katana user who tries too hard, and some Drake Sword + Knight Shield-style idiot flailing around with the Deep Battle Axe or the Ice Sword, too.

MrLonghair posted:Went working on a new TROGG and real successfully too, just want new rings, spare clubs then it's PvP time at lv15. Need a Titanite Chunk? Give the birds a black firebomb. Nice trade. I was really worried this game wouldn't cater to the PVP crowd very well, but seeing the Cracked Orb starting gift actually being 4 CREOs, and then having some NPC hand me another 5 while telling me how to get a full orb just completely reassured me. I've had more satisfying PVP in this game so far than the entirety of DS2, although that isn't saying much  I've also mostly been winning even on 2v1s or 3v1s, for the people who were afraid of getting gangbanged by ganksquads. Being able to estus really makes a huge difference, and if you're the type of person who wants to invade, you'll be able to get it done no problem.

Pews posted:So I'm in the blue covenant, the first one, and I think I had an NPC spirit invade me. Then I had a blue spirt join me but he just started attacking me too. He seemed like an actual player. I managed to kill them both, but was that just trolling? Am I better off not using that covenant if it can just end up like that? The blue spirit could have been a spirit of vengeance, you dirty sinner Just had an insane PVP experience: I invade some chump and beat him up for a bit, and he summons in a phantom who I kill in seconds cause they had no HP. Then the host summons ANOTHER phantom, and ANOTHER, and then a blue sentinel warps in. Then a second red spirit warps in and starts spamming pyromancy everywhere so I have to weave in and out of phantom attacks while dodging friendly fire from the other invader. The host finally runs out of estus, I corner him and score the kill, and then me and the other invader fight each other over the dead host
