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. |
Those people can at least give a reasoning due to the unique nature of Nintendo's RPG approach you on the other hand are just going by "well other people call it that" and have not given a single reasoning as to how it falls in the genre I have given an example of why it doesn't. It's funny because some of you were adamant RFA isn't a JRPG when it has all the traits and mechanics but MHW which only has one lite element some how is.
