It's classified as an action RPG the same as FF XV.

It's an RPG, it's Japanese.

Only it's not an action RPG it's an action adventure game and always has been an RPG has a central core mechanic dedicated to character development all RPGs have this from KH, Astral Chain to even the FF games you cite still retain this, MH doesn't which makes it a dubious claim to call it an RPG of any kind MH has always been it's own little sub-genre of adventure the same people who call it an RPG are the same who were calling Zelda a JRPG for decades.

Having lite rpg elements doesn't equal an RPG otherwise a whole host of games would be JRPGs it would be like calling OOT a FPS because you go into first person when using the bow Wikipedia is also edited by anyone on the net.

And your post is edited by you, some dude on the net.

People will disagree, there's no strict objective definition of what a jrpg is. I'm sure there's some people who are even stricter than you and wouldn't call Pokémon a jrpg.
