It was because FF1 was a tribute to/rip-off of D&D. Hence the day-charge spell system, the elves and dwarves, the sahagin and mind-flayers, the Lich and Maralith, Tiamat and Bahamut, the monk class, the mythril and adamantite, etc.

I could've sworn it was only changed to silver for the western releases.
Don't forget the Eye or Phantom was originally called Beholder, which looked like the D&D Beholder. I don't remember if they HAD TO change it before releasing it in the US, or if they just decided to on their own to evade legal issues.
