It’s worth noting that while POR is definitely too easy for a lot of players, the general consensus among western fans that have played it is that the Japan-only Maniac mode is pretty miserable because enemies become way bulkier without necessarily becoming much more threatening. It makes the game take a lot longer. Also, the Japanese version used to have a fun glitch with forged weapons where you could basically max out their crit rate, but the NSO release has actually fixed that!
I think there might just be a curse on this franchise where every game has to either have a great story or great difficulty modes, but can never have both
