Final Fantasy doesn't "look Japanese", according to this guy. If that's a joke, I'm not getting it, and if it isn't... wat?
I can only assume that their point is that Final Fantasy is heavily inspired by western mythology and fantasy.
FFs 1-5 were fairly generic DnD style worlds. It wasn't until 6 that the cyberpunk/fantasy mix came in then I'd argue 8 was the first one where some of the designs in the world looked very Japanese.
