Not too Western, not too Japanese. Nintendo never goes too far one way or the other.
By Western I mean like Gears of War with lovely gray and brown environments. Hulking space marines and such. Testosterone pumped mess.
By Japanese I mean like JRPGs starring metrosexual protagonists with huge ass swords running through large fields while acting melodramatic.
You know the stereotypical stuff. Xenoblade looks like a stereotypical JRPG. It's style, protagonist, characters, environment. Looks like something I've seen a thousand times. Each Nintendo series has a distinct flavor. Well maybe not Fire Emblem... but I'm not too fond of that series anyway.
