Crisis Core gets 'additional gameplay challenges'
Siliconera wisely discovered a key phrase in a recent Square Enix press release. Europe's upcoming Limited Edition version of Crisis Core (pictured, above) will feature "additional gameplay challenges not included in the original Japanese version." Apparently, this includes a new "hard" mode not found in the Japanese release.
The curious wording makes it seem likely (although unconfirmed) that the US release of the game will feature the same content. Of course, we don't particularly care about having a more difficult game -- we just really want that sweet new packaging!

Sucks for us Americans. All we get is a UMD Case. :/

Wait, does this mean the asian English Version will also have hard mode, or not?

Best Buy is offering the same game packaging as the one that came out with the special psp in japan. it looks pretty good too.

Awesome. I was hoping for something like this (European Extreme et al), replayability is a big thing for me so long as the game itself is good.

Looks like yet another thing I will be drooling over and missing out simply because I live in North America. Does Square Enix /SCEA / everyone else not know we like these things?

FF has been too easy for too long. I would welcome a hard mode. If there is any game worth that extra effort it is FF.

Well Im not shure Il be able to get this , but even in worst case scenario Il still buy the game :)

BestBuy has the "all-new hardmode" listed under the games features.

Man, wish US would get that. An artbook as thick as the UMD case. Might just import this from UK :(.
schuyler @ Mar 19th 2008 3:56PM
I may or may not have seen a the final American version of the game which does have a hard version if you get what im saying
whiteshield @ Mar 19th 2008 7:25PM
I don't know wether to be excited for this game or skeptical... i dunno but this announcment doesnt sound to bad

The hard mode is waaaaay more than just your usual 'hard' mode. It's more like extra-hard :)
I definitely suggest first playing the game in normal, since I nearly bite my PSP when I first tried to play it in hard.
