Child of Light

Child of Light will soon be receiving a patch to change the game’s difficulty names. In the future, “normal” and “hard” will be modified to “casual” and “expert”.

Writer Jeffrey Yohalem told Joystiq during a live-stream event:

“In a patch that’s coming up, we’re changing the names to ‘casual’ and ‘expert’. This has been an issue, obviously, that some people have had, and I think that the word ‘normal’ is a misrepresentation …. Or, rather, implying that there’s one way to play that’s normal is, I think, too strong.”

“Casual is for people that want to experience the world and experience the adventure without having hard combat, and then expert is for people who love RPGs and who want to really have a challenge.”

Yohalem feels that those who have experience playing role-played games should try Child of Light on the “hard” difficulty for the time being.

Child of Light is now available on the Wii U eShop in both North America and Europe. If you’re planning on purchasing the game, make sure you reserve 2,346MB of space.

A day-one update is also available for Child of Light. No clue what it does, but it should improve the experience!
