Could a developer from one region make a rpg has qualities of another?

@celine:

I was in no way mad at you, nor scolding anyone, sorry if that came out that way.
I was just generally speaking, I was even included in some bad behaviour, because I'm western, and despite being able to feel at home in most eastern environment, I still have typically western habits deeply buried inside myself. And I think I can't ever get rid of them. Perhaps I could, but there's no point.

As for the "anime style", I have to explain a bit better. Saying these games are anime style is the same as saying games are "real-life" style. How to explain that in English? Basically, you've reversed the thing.
Exactly as if you want to describe a wolf, and say it's "dog like". Of course that's true, but you imply that the wolf comes from the dog, which is not true. The dog like the wolf are canids, and if they derive from something, they derive from canids.
Back to the topic, the JRPG games are not "anime" like, that makes no sense as they aren't on the same medium. No, but they both usually have a style based on drawing. While the WRPG, like live movies popular in the USA, usually have a style based on real life. This doesn't mean that WRPG are "live movie" like. They just use the same photographic style.

Thus, lots of people believe if they just placate the other genre's most used style on their game, it can fool people in thinking it comes from another region. Actually, there are lots of other unnoticeable things that will make this not true, and nearly impossible to do.

And no, I didn't play Anachronox.
