I would actually say that it's most closely a very slow moving hack and slash. Maybe between ARPG and Hacknslash.

Yes, I agree. Some are more like western hack n slashes slow and methodical which ARPG's have been doing for a while. Most RPG's are taking the ARPG route because a lot of consumers are getting sick of waiting. They want to control their movement and not sit and wait to get murdered in a back and forth battle based on hit points. They can manage their attributes, inventory and battle plans on their own. This is also where the next Final Fantasy is headed. The Witcher has been there and Diablo has been a dungeon crawler ARPG for years. Mass Effect is a TPS in which your actions are fully controlled without any turn based action.  Evasion points can be a passive addition when it comes to points and chance but most of the work is done by you evading characters on your own now. 

haha, cool. Most people always go 'wtf, it's totally not a hacknslash'. But it's actually really similar, and yeah, ff is definitely moving in that direction of fully controlled hacknslashARPG. I'm actually pretty excited for it. This genre is the freshest thing since shooters had their resurgence with CoD
