It's very late for me so no complete and serious answer...

Please do not bring the traits of Wrpg's into Jrpg's (this is old-school defining, so wrong in 2013). They do not need open-world gameplay, at least nothing more than FF's or DQ's had.
Trying to cater to the FPS and Action-oriented gamer is what is ruining the genre, nothing more.

Why does open world automatically mean West?

It doesn't.

Like i stated, these are definitions of ages ago and should be taken with a certain understanding for loss of meaning.
