There are Japanese games that were made easier for the US too though.  Blaster Maste for example.  Most people will probably quit at level four.  I would.  The part you cross from level four to five on the Japanese version is ridiculous. 

Final Fantasy 4 wasn't made harder for the west.  It was made easier.  Heal potions were cure alls, many items were removed, enemy HP was reduced a little bit.  Final Fantasy 4 Easy Type or Easy Game was then released in Japan afterwards.  The game was even easier than the US version keeping some of the changes from the US version and further reducing the difficulty, including a new last boss.  So the Final Fantasy 4 that people call "hard type" is just normal FF4.  There's FF4, FF4 US, and FF4 Easy.

More recently, F-Zero GX was made easier in the West, which is crazy since so many people complain that it's too hard...

Where you find an ice or dirt patch in the US version (can't say for sure for the European version), in the Japanese version you will probably find a gaping whole...



Have a nice day...
