Is Final Fantasy VII a Role Playing Game? I mean really, is it? What choices do you really have?? Level up and learn magic so you can defeat the next big baddie and trigger the next CGI cutscene? Solve the puzzle or visit the person that you need to visit to trigger the next area. Is following an "on-rails" story really allowing you to play a role? Aside from the side quests that I finished, the optional characters I met, and the magic spells/weapons I used, my playthrough of many "RPG's" was exactly the same as yours. If Fable 2 isn't an RPG, then it's much much more.
