The strategic element in a turn-based RPG comes from the ability to micro-manage all the commands of the party members.
The strategic element in an action-based RPG comes from stamina managing, positioning in the battlefield, the defensive stance as the player is in control 100% of the time not 50%, and overall control over the party members through "gambit" system if it is implied.
How deep the strategic factor in any RPG depends on the design choices, not the subgenre.
