Linking Game Data


An ID and password are needed to synchronize game data. Smart phone players wishing to use their PC game data will need to generate their ID and password through their PC first.

Before downloading the smartphone app, please first generate an ID and password under the "PC連動・機種変更はこちら banner". After obtaining them, download the smartphone app, and input the ID and password on startup to complete the process.

Using PC game data to play on smartphones
Step 1 - Generate an ID and password on the PC Step 2 - Enter the ID and password from Step 1 PC data synchronization complete. Note that playing on the PC will overwrite any smartphone game data.
 * The ID and password will be displayed, so please refrain from screenshotting it.
 * Please read the important notes.

Important Notes
About data synchronization About ID/passwords
 * During maintenance, synchronization will not be possible.
 * Right before maintenance, please refrain from synchronizing as it may corrupt your data.
 * ID/passwords generated will include the data from the last server connection, except during mid-battle conditions.
 * While synchronizing, the game data will be overwritten by the device used to generate the ID and password. So smartphone players synchronizing with a PC generated ID/password will have their app data overwritten with their PC game data.
 * Failing to enter the ID/password 5 consecutive times will result in a 24 hour ban from further ID/password input.
 * Failing to enter the ID/password 10 consecutive times will result in a permanent ban from further ID/password input. Please contact the support team to remove the ban.
 * The expiry date is 2 weeks after the ID/password are generated.
 * The ID/password will become invalid after the PC data has been transferred.
 *  Please do not share synchronization data with third parties (e.g. via screenshots).

FAQ
[2016/02/22] FAQ updated.

[2016/02/16] In response to a large volume of questions about Touken Ranbu -ONLINE- Pocket, the official game staff have created an FAQ to address the most frequently asked questions.

Q1: How does game data linking work?

A1: Following the mobile app's release, it will be possible to obtain a "Data Link Code" from the game on your PC. By entering this "Data Link Code" into your mobile app, both the mobile app and PC version of the game will thereafter share their game data.

Q2: If the user does not have a DMM account and normally signs in using Google accounts instead, will they still be able to link their game data?

A2: Yes. Regardless of how the user signs in to play Touken Ranbu -ONLINE- on their PC, it will be possible to link their game data. If the user normally uses Google sign-in or other methods to log in to Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-, it is not necessary to create a new DMM account specifically for Touken Ranbu -ONLINE- Pocket.

Q3: If I link my game data, then replace my mobile device, can I link my game data to the new device?

A3: Yes. As long as the user inputs their "Data Link Code" again, they will be able to sync their PC gameplay data to their new mobile device.

Q4: If I preregister with LINE, Twitter, and e-mail registration, will I get multiple copies of the campaign rewards?

A4: No. Each eligible account receives only one copy of each sword.

Q5: If you have your game data synced to your mobile app, then delete the mobile app, will that have any impact on the gameplay data from the PC version?

A5: No. Deleting the mobile app after syncing game data will have no impact on the PC version of the game, since both the mobile app and PC version both load data from the most recently played session.

Q6: What devices and operating systems are supported?

A6: iOS: iOS 7.0 or later, iPhone5/5c models or later; Android: Android 4.1 models or later. Not compatible with mobile devices using Tegra2 processors.

It should be noted that even if the above conditions are met, there may be devices that are not supported. For a more detailed list of known supported Android devices, please see here (note that this is not an exhaustive list).

Q7: Can Touken Ranbu -ONLINE- Pocket be played on an iPad or iPod Touch?

A7: The only mobile device models we have currently tested are found listed in Q6. While iPod Touch and iPad may theoretically fulfill the requirements for the game, we have not tested those models at this time.

'''Q8: Is it possible to use multiple devices to play on the same account? Furthermore, can this be done even if the OS of each device is different? (Ex. Syncing the same data to an iPhone and an Android tablet)'''

A8: Yes. So long as you follow the instructions to link your game's account data to your smartphone, you may repeat these steps to link any additional devices.

However, "Koushuu gold" may not be shared between iOS and Android devices. Additionally, "Koushuu gold" and DMM Points cannot be shared between a mobile device and the browser version of a game.

''※ "Koushuu gold" is a form of in-game currency unique to the mobile device app that can be used in the Shop. Please look forward to more information when the app is released.''

Q9: Can Touken Ranbu -ONLINE- Pocket be played overseas?

A9: We verify our players on the assumption that they have been playing domestically from Japan. Therefore, support for playing overseas has been excluded.

'''Q10: On the list of supported Android devices, some devices listed run Android 4.0. Will there also be support available for these devices, should there be any problems?'''

A10: The list contains all models that we have tested so far. However, we still recommend that users have a device running Android 4.1 or later. To that end, as we continue to update the list, if any model-specific problems arise, we will be unable to provide support.

Q11: How much data will this app use per month?

A11: Because the amount of data used depends on how often the app is played, we cannot definitively answer this question. It should be noted that when first starting the app, a large amount of data communication will occur, so it is recommended to connect to Wi-Fi before doing so.
