Coinciding with today's formal announcement of a Japanese release for the Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII, Square Enix updated the official site with all the details.
FFXIII is being renamed "Final Fantasy XIII Ultimate Hits International" for its Japanese Xbox 360 debut. The game will arrive on December 16, priced at ¥4,980.
Square Enix has announced just one content change for 360 owners. The game will include an "Easy Mode" which adjusts the balance of battle, making things easier for players who want to get through the whole story.
The other new features for the 360 version come in the form of a first print run bonus item, a booklet called "Final Fantasy XIII Corridor of Memory." This includes the following:
Visual Art Collection
A collection of all the high quality key visuals that were used domestically and abroad.
Final Fantasy XIII Unused Event Scenes
A look at event scenes that were cut from the final game. Square Enix has also included the script for these sequences.
Final Fantasy XIII Episode i
A newly created after story to the Final Fantasy XIII story, presented as a novel. The novel tells what happened to Lightning and all after the game.

An EASY mode?! Ha, FFXIII is the easiest FF game I have ever played!!
Also to be noted is that this version of FFXIII will include English voices and the US / EU Theme Tune (My Hands) sung by Leona Lewis. Will Japanese players want this?
I wonder how many copies this game will actually sell. Do you think dual console owners that already bought FFXIII for PS3 will buy it again just for the Corridors of Memory book and Novel?
