Japs played early DND/wargame exports, saw HP as meat points:
So they don't pretend a ripped level 20 Barbarian is human anymore.

This seeped into their games as well. As you level in most early JRPGs, your ability to hit hard goes up significantly. You get entire mountains of HP.
And magic is rad, but its balanced around staying a little stronger than what you could hit with, since its a limited resource. But there is no pretense that these ripped high level guys is even anywhere as squishy as humans are.
