That's not necessarily the case.

If the story is set in Japan then yes, characters will look "white" and not Asian to us, but Japanese people will just read that as "default human being" and assume they are Japanese.

But if the story is not set in Japan, then the characters won't be made to look any different, but context will tell you where the story is set. Character and place names, written text, settings, world maps will indicate what ethnicity (or fantasy equivalent) the characters are intended to be.

Eorzea is clearly a European-styled fantasy setting, regardless of who is writing it or who it is targeted at.
