Don't mistake politeness for good game design. I've asked a couple times and folks have stated that JP players aren't complaining and don't rage in shout like NA does, but that's not because the content is designed well with rewards commensurate with challenge; it's because they are too damn polite to tell Yoshi-P he dropped the ball in a HUGE way.

Or maybe they just want it to go back to being like XI. Comfortable 250k-ish subs, low population to please, and most of that population is the type that will play Dynamis to fund one guy's relic for two years and then thank SE for the "challenging" content.
