Yes, It was explained to me that although the A320 family FBW could put in all the rudder required, it is only programmed to put in about half so that PF has to put in the rest and is therefore aware of the engine failure, and more to the point, WHICH engine has failed. i.e, it keeps PF involved in the control of the aircraft and what is going on.

This helps maintain the piloting skill and prevents 'rusting'.
