Dark Souls is fundamentally different than any Wrpgs. It is not an open world game, it actually have a linear game design but with connected, medium sized maps. the objective always the same, unlike Wrpgs where the focus is on the quantity of side activities to make the game "player driven". Dark Souls is a straightforward game. Also, One of JRPGs strong point has always been the attention that is paid to make the combat ( Final Fantasy, Tales of, Persona ) and so is Dark Souls. The combat is so preciese and strict it is not remotely similiar to the likes of Skyrim or Dragon age which are based merely on the strongest abilities you unlock through leveling up ( in Dark Souls it is the player skill and experience that matters most ). It resembles a JRPG that is not turn-based.
So no, not even close. I coudn't dissagree more
