I haven't bothered to get a version that has hard mode yet. I figure if i can't get the good ending, then i don't know how i'd ever beat hard mode. Lets just say i've tried a few times in the past to get the good ending and failed quite miserably at it. Furtherest I think i ever got was about 75% of the way through the first screen of blood stained sanctuary.:d'oh: Seems how my current save won't even let me try the good ending, i'd need to replay the entire game as well, not a fun thought. :sleep:
