Difficulty
According to “Grimoire Nier” (the game companion made for the original Nier):
The enemies’ strength on easy or normal won’t change in any playthrough, but in hard, they get stronger according to Nier’s level. However, word and item drop rates have gone up.
I have yet to test if this holds true to the remaster, so far I had mixed results.

Tips and Tricks
For “Memory Alloy”:
Set the difficulty to hard. Skip the first robot on the B2 floor. Go on the rail-cart, and in the very next room a robot will spawn. Kill it, and see what drop you get. If you dont get a Memory alloy, let the remaining small drones kill you. You will respawn just outside the room. Repeat until you get an alloy. When you get that one, go ahead and go to the next room to the south where 2 robots spawn. Kill them and see if you get an alloy, if not, die. Repeat.
