Dark Souls 2 Japanese Pre-Order Bonuses

Spottedhereit seems that Dark Souls 2 will have store specific pre-order in-game weapon bonuses.  As of yet only announced in Japan, no word on Western release yet.  They appear to be modified starter gear with slight alterations to the weapons’ base properties.

According toour forumuserδeltathe weapons translate as the following:

An axe with a weird appearance.This was found in the Undead Purgatory. The chain and thorns increase bleeding but decrease slash damage.This alteration which hides the personality of the weapon wasn’t done to merely defeat an enemy. The goal was likely to simply cause more pain.Special ability: Bleed(shield is degraded but also causes bleed)

A staff with round objects attached. Found in a mansion in An Diel.It is much heavier than normal but the hard spheres increase blunt damage.To the east of Drangleig is a mysterious mansion forgotten by time. Something that should be forgotten still lurks there.(shield is heavier but stronger)

A staff with a dull black something attached.Found in an old dark hole. Used for magic and dark magic.In places around Dranglieg are dark holes. There is yet nobody who knows what lies beyond these holes.Special Ability: Darkness(shield is same, just takes out part about it being used as a catalyst)

Editor at Fextralife. I look for the substantial in gaming and I try to connect video games to the emotions and stories they elicit. I love all things culture and history and have an odd fondness for the planet Jupiter. I think my dogs are pretty awesome too.

Bah i hate DLC because i know i’ll end up buying some of it. As long as they don’t go the EA route and the items give an unfair advantage against others, i’m ok with it.

There is a way to do it right and keep the core of the game intact. Paying to win is never a good way to foster community but cosmetic stuff is nominal. If anything the Artorias dlc was way more unbalancing as it gave the purchasers access to bead, pursuers and black flame all of which shot right into the pvp meta arsenal.

Nice find and heads up! Thanks 😀

Hope they come to Eu and NA. But I agree with above that being able to pay to get the “edge” is never good over all. Only if it just looks more cool…then I’m cool with it!
