Yup, it's all a question of mentality though. Most Japanese players don't mind higher levels of difficulty in their games, as their own society and values are based on constantly trying to better themselves. Unfortunately, that kind of mentality is rare on the western market/society.
There have been quite a number of games with bad western releases because the average western player dislikes games that offer a difficult initial challenge.
One of the most blatant examples of difficulty change was FFIV. FFIV JP was very hard, and when it was later released in NA/EU as FFII, that difficulty was ridiculously toned down.
