Yeah, PoR's Insane is the one they removed from the US release. They added Easy instead... in Japan the lowest difficulty is Normal. :)
Hard was pretty hard... great of course, though.
As for the other Fire Emblem games, I've beaten Fire Emblem (7) in Eliwood's Normal and Hector's Normal (and all three difficulties in Lyn's mode), and TSS in Normal (Eirika's path), I think. Not certain about that one, it could have been hard... either way, it had challenge, but wasn't as hard as FE7. PoR was, probably... though without Insane mode it can't match FE7 Hector's Hard Mode, really, from what I've heard. :)
But yeah, Fire Emblem games are hard, and they're supposed to be. That's a lot of the fun, as well as most of the frustration -- figuring out what to do to get through the missions without losing anyone... which is very, very difficult sometimes. I definitely love the series, though. :)
The DS remake of the original Fire Emblem is supposedly coming out here early next year. It's my next must-buy DS game (along with Etrian Odyssey 2, which came out earlier this year of course and I haven't gotten yet, but will for sure).
