When they say Hard difficulty is harder, they aren't kidding.

The difficulty jump is insane.

And for those who haven't noticed this yet,

Not only are there more and/or different questions in school, (Which really threw me off, as I just skipped through the lecture and then didn't know the answer. However I got it right, ), but the Shrine works completely different.

The Fortune Box now is used to repair social links, in addition to taking the afternoon period.

The Offering Box now garuntees an increase in Academics, (An even bigger boost if you are in great condition), but it also takes the afternoon period.

They're being tricksy in this version.
