I'm with Blaydcor.
There are many games other than Mario RPG's that don't fit your description, if we gave each it's own category there would be too many. Besides, there is nothing that dictates that a JRPG have the kind of story you are mentioning. Earthbound doesn't, Valkyria Chronicles doesn't, arguably Persona 4 doesn't either.
