Just chiming in, not meaning to be confrontational, but as a player in JP with a professional..chronic.. floortank of a wife, I can assure you JP are not unicorns and certainly have just as many super casual/low skill players as NA.
One of our good friends since 2.0 has YET to figure out Titan’s very predictable pattern here 10 years later. She celebrates if she just makes it to the end without getting knocked off. We love her just the same.
Also, remember, they made a JP tv drama that is almost entirely about a son secretly carrying his dad through Twintania. He tries his best…and they eventually clear, but he's an old man just playing for fun, not necessarily to be a good player.

We (wife and I) call them (including my wife) “tourist players”. They are here to ride the rides, gawk at the things and see the story. Don’t really care about learning the mechanics aside from the one clear needed to progress….and with her new BFF Y’shtola showing her where to stand in raids/dungeons, she doesn’t need me anymore D:
