Your observation is astute. JRPG is largely a misnomer due to the almost complete lack of anything that can be defined as role playing. To the people who keep saying that you are playing a role in JRPGs you are in fact not. You need to be able to make decisions that alter the outcome of the story, character development, etc... to actually be playing a role. Linear gameplay and a rigid story have nothing to do with true role playing.
