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!

I know we have a lot of FF fans on here, and I think they'll be happy to hear this news about being able to play a "hard mode". We'll just have to wait for some sort of confirmation.
If this ends up being true then I'm willing to wait (Heck... gives me more time to actually BUY a PSP)
I'd love to get this but I have already sold my PSPs and don't want to buy another one... Still can't wait for this game!
I soooooo wish we could download PSP games and play them on our PS3's.
My only reason to get a PSP rightt here.
I expect a PS2 port of this anyway. I mean, Silent Hill: Origins ALREADY has a PS2 port.
New Crisis Core trailer shows off summons, butt rock

Watching this trailer may embed some niggling questions in your mind -- questions like: Is it safe to run on top of trains? Why does Cloud have black hair? Who at Square Enix decided that story-rich fantasy and gut-crunching metal were a good mix? However, this video should eliminate any question in your mind that a spiritual sequel to a 3-disc RPG masterpiece could fit on a UMD. Focusing mostly on summons, a Final Fantasy staple, this trailer has pushed our excitement for Crisis Core far beyond our apprehension towards the game. We just hope the final product has music of a more ... listenable variety.

Lol, why does Cloud have black hair? Lol.
I'm assuming that wasn't a serious repetition of the question? Did gft get Zack mistake for a black haired Cloud?
Anyhoo. This game looks awesome. Wish I could play it asap.
Nice video and I have always loved the summons and they're looking great here. Almost makes me want to buy another PSP!
People who ask stupid questions should just read the source material
Oh, I see. The guy who wrote the article screwed it up. Lol. Silly man.
My apologies, gft.
The source was just poking fun at the fact that it stars Zack and not Cloud. Twas a joke.
I used to be hyped for this game but after looking at it more and more it just seems mediocre. The box art is cool though. SEnix usually has good art on their special boxes.
Hmm... strange I didn't see the funny in it. Oh well.
