Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom made for a huge number of new fans of the Japanese RPG series. The inventive genre mix convinced the players and the criticism was limited, only the level of difficulty was sometimes not demanding enough.
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom too easy?
Patch 1.03 now provides a remedy and provides 2 new levels of difficulty: Hard and Expert. But it's not just about the challenge, playing on the higher levels of difficulty also gives you the chance to get better loot from the monsters.

Here are the English patch notes for Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom:
Version 1.03
- New difficulty modes added: Hard and Expert. You can choose how hard you want your challenge to be when you select “New Game” from the title screen, or by entering the in-game options menu at any time. Three difficulty levels are available: Normal, Hard, and Expert. The higher the setting, the harder the battles will be, but this will be offset by rarer treasures from monsters, from the chests in the Faraway Forest, and certain other places. You'll also be able to access the true potential of accessories, with monsters occasionally dropping ones with two skills! (This won't affect any you already own.)
- Maximum quality level of equipment drops expanded (in hard or higher).
- Chances of rare item drops increased (in Hard or higher).
- New equipment skills added.
- Rare accessories with second skill slot added.
- Various other game balance issues and minor bugs have also been addressed.
- A bug that allowed the airship to land in places where it should not be able to land has been fixed.
- Steam version only: A bug that made the player unable to control the camera at specific screen resolutions has been fixed.
