JRPG's are dead

They said that they're we're trying to go for a more similar feeling as Modern Warfare, as in the way that the action happened and the events of the game unfolded, so structurally, it had more similarities to a FPS (can't seem to see where that structure is ).

I don't see why all the fuss regarding the classification of FFXIII as a RPG or not. I've seen RPG's with less RPG mechanics than FFXIII that are still considered to be RPG's as well. 

Surely you don't mean.... Kingdom Hearts!

Nope. KH structure reminds me a lot of Terranigma's structure. I'm talking specifically to games like the Castlevania series, post SOTN (they're more adventure games like Metroid than RPG, they only have a tacked on stats and level system) or, why not say it, the latest Mass Effect game (which had far more structural similarities to a TPS with limited RPG mechanics borrowed from the same KOTOR background). 

Don't get me wrong, I love all those games I mentioned. I just find the whole situation kinda funny. I mean, people just shift definitions to fit their own agenda. Ah well, that's the internetz
