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!
