After listening to the interview with Luke Smith with Kotaku one thing is clear....we have not seen everything the raid has to offer yet.
Luke Smith said that this is still the biggest raid yet implying that normal mode is only part 1 and there is much more to come.
I believe hard mode will not be a rehash of normal but instead a set of completely different bosses.
The fact that Bungie won't officially announce if Oryx is dead? No information yet on the Queen (outside of grimorie)? This interview with Luke Smith?
I'm excited for hard mode and Kings Fall 2.0.

Edit: to dispel a rumor they said that "they started with hard mode and then scaled it down to normal mode". That does not necessarily mean with difficulty...it could have meant started with 6 bosses and then gave us 3 for normal. We are assuming a lot with that statement.
Edit 2: TTK is year 2, Kings Fall is year 2. Don't assume the pattern for year 1 raids will continue with year 2.

The hard mode will be the same mechanics with a higher light level and they use ALL the taken enemy types. Captains, shield assholes, and the multiplying -blam!-ers. I know it.
