I finished Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure at normal difficulty. The PSP version on the PS3. The game is super cute, but not easy and the ending is unsatisfying.
I didn't find all the items and didn't complete the bonus boss fight (black bean, very difficult). But that apparently doesn't matter, I got the good ending where the girl was waved goodbye.
However, the game does end in a very unsatisfying way. After defeating the final boss you can no longer save the game and you have to talk to Motoro after which a cutscene and the credits follow.
Then you can make a blank save file. It tells you that certain stuff will go with the new save, you get an extra outfit and can play on "hard mode". Then you return to the title screen. And that's it...
You can't go back to the levels to do what you haven't completed yet. You can't see anywhere how much % you had completed. Because I didn't overwrote the existing save, I could go back to the situation before the final boss, but nothing more.
In the blank save the coins and junk are still there, but unexchanged gold medals and bought equipment are lost. And the extra outfit is just a... pyjama...
I started a new game on "easy", hoping that one day I can find the platinum medals in an easier way (in the first play I had chosen "give up" when grandpa asked me to find the medal, apparently resulting in you can't get the remaining 10 anymore too). And maybe I'll be able to collect 65.xxx coins and buy the "maid outfit" towards the end of the game. With that you could work in the Fan Cute Cakes shop to can get a photo. I'm still missing 4 or 5. Completing "easy" should also unlock a "monkey outfit".
There is also "hard", "happy" and "crazy" difficulties, where you have to finish the previous one before a higher level is unlocked. I doubt I can ever finish "hard" at all.
