Today's patch is launching alongside a discount! There are a couple major additions, including the beta for the Portuguese translation and a basic hard mode option! There're also some map improvements and fixes, and some balancing improvements to the endgame so that damage is a little more severe during the final dungeon.
For now, hard mode simply doubles the enemy damage. However, we are still planning a "true" expert mode sometime next year which allow enemies to also act more challenging and interesting. We are also planning to work on the base AI of some bosses and battles to make them better even on normal mode. But...hopefully this version of hard mode can help as a stopgap in the meantime for the people who crave more of a risk and challenge in their play-through.
