ehhhh
i don't think this is really the case
MT2 and SMT2 are both perfectly reasonable titles, and the devil summoner duology on the saturn are also quite easy by megaten standards
feel like nocturne and strange journey being outliers in difficulty set the standard for the series when in reality most of the mainline titles are pretty mild overall
