I'm not suggesting the difficulty be toned down. Rather, in addition to the grueling default, there be an easy mode? Win win for everyone or will it cheapen the franchise?
I ask because I'm really enjoying the atmosphere and mechanics in Dark Souls. However the investment this game is asking is just too much for me to finish.

No. I think that the issue with easy modes is that it isn't what the developer truly envisioned when creating their game, and it can hurt the core game itself (takes up time, resources, etc). And usually, the easy mode is not fun, and too easy, or the normal mode suffers from it. And Dark Souls is a prime example of a game that doesn't deserve this; the game is already spectacular IMO
