In video games, the term " director's cut " is usually used as a colloquialism to refer to an expanded version of a previously released game.
Often, these expanded versions, also referred as " complete editions ", will have additions to the gameplay or additional game modes and features outside the main portion of the game.
As is the case with certain high-profile Japanese-produced games, the game designers may take the liberty to revise their product for the overseas market with additional features during the localization process.
These features are later added back to the native market in a re-release of a game in what is often referred as the international version of the game.
This was the case with the overseas versions of Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid and Rogue Galaxy, which contained additional features ( such as new difficulty settings for Metal Gear Solid ), resulting in re-released versions of those respective games in Japan ( Final Fantasy VII International, Metal Gear Solid: Integral and Rogue Galaxy: Director's Cut ).
In the case of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, the American versions were released first, followed by the Japanese versions and then the European versions, with each regional release offering new content not found in the previous one.
All of the added content from the Japanese and European versions of those games were included in the expanded editions titled Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance and Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence.
