Having a challenge option would be the best of both worlds, as both the illiterate and the competent could enjoy the game at an appropriate skill level. It doesn't have to be Kaizo-levels of difficult, but even something approaching other other entry-level JRPGs like M&L, Paper Mario, Dragon Quest, or Final Fantasy would be much appreciated. No one complains about the fights being difficult in Dragon Quest, and that series is still a cultural phenomenon on the levels of Pokemon in Japan.
