Western fantasy as Japanese people see it ? Yes... No. That's actual "western" fantasy for the biggest part. It's even got far less clichés than any western-made game. Most western fantasy games set in a medieval world are just ridiculously inaccurate (and I'm not blaming them, 'cause they don't have to be accurate). And I won't give examples, 'cause I know which games you're all thinking about right now.

Oh, and at least Dragon's Dogma doesn't have any one-handed freaking blade trying to pretend to be a katana. Now there's a cliché... A western cliché. Well, yes it's got some ridiculously gigantic swords, but if you've ever seen a zweihander, well... We're not that far from reality then. Of course the real thing can't be wielded like that, but still, that's better than a katana and a shield.
