The last story is more dynamic but xenoblade is still an action rpg.

Can you explain why you think it is? Everything is done in menus in Xenoblade. That disqualifies it as an action rpg. While some menus are used in some action-rpgs (see: Kingdom Hearts), the core gameplay has button-mapped attacks. Just because an RPG isn't turnbased doesn't make it an ARPG. The Last Story is different from Xenoblade in that it has 1:1 button-mapped attacks. If I press a button in the last story, an attack is enacted by my character corresponding to that button press. If I press a different button, a different attack is enacted. 


Dejavue all over again.
