I once made an RPG, and the only cliche out of those I used was "destruction of home village". There was also a level cap but that was due to the limitations of RPG Maker 2000 that was unavoidable, plus the game was beatable somewhere around level 15 as it was more about figuring out boss' attack patterns and remembering to cast a paralysis spell on Skeptopotamus.

Going off the "Grand List of Console RPG Cliches" or whatever it was called, I think the game matched four of them, and one of them was a gameplay trait (one of the party members had a gun with infinite ammo).
