But i beat the game on the hardest that was there from the start then unlocked those outfits back when it was on games for windows live. And did not get fairy tail sheva or stars chris so my idea for it is to ether beat that extra hard mode you unlock or get all S ranks in the campaign on ether mode.
Odds are i am ether right or wrong.Fairy Tale Sheva didint existed in the original GFWL version, its part of the Gold Content.But yeah, you must beat the game first to unlock it, just like the other outfits.
