Knowing the Japanese I would doubt that.

Theoretically, that would up the difficulty of the game, and the Japanese hate games that are too challenging (Tomb Raider especially).

So I'd say the American/European versions of Final Fantasies would be the most likely to have higher enemy encounter rates.
