What I'm saying is why don't we just call them Japanese Adventure Games (because JAGs is a stupid abbreviation i guess :P). By this defintion, there are many RPGs. Modern Warfare is an RPG, Bioshock is an RPG, Dead Space is an RPG, Resident Evil 4/5 are RPGs, Demi-God is an RPG even Counter-Strike could be seen as a limited RPG.
For example, even though S.T.AL.K.E.R. has no points or leveling up, it's still involves much more role-playing than any FF game. When my friends and I play DnD, we forget stats and just play it as we see fit, but it's still and RPG.
I guess what I'm saying is that JRPGs have been misbranded since their inception, and there's little we can do about it now.
