A Nintendo action RPG, good idea or bad?

Fair enough, but most people don't qualify all real-time RPGs (you move around and attack without turns) as Action RPG's, so that might be why the OP didn't include it. I personally make said distinction myself. 

But you don't attack in turns in xenoblade.

I never said you did. I said not all RPGs  in which you don't are action-RPGs. They are real-time, yes, but an action RPG is more than a real-time RPG. Standard attacks are mapped to specific buttons or keys. For example, in Diablo you have a right click attack a left click attack, and attacks for each keys 1-9. You also don't have to wait for a cooldown. As long as you have mana you can keep attacking. Now some RPGs have action elements and traditional elements as well.
