The term RPG is just a mess. Always have been.
RPGs are, for me, games where you role play. So games where you create a character or control the character's personality (Geralt, Shepard and etc.)
Bloodborne? RPG. Sekiro? Nope
So in my definition, even older FF games arent RPGs. You are role playing in FF VII as much as you are role playing in Uncharted.
The idea that gameplay dictates if a game is an RPG or not is just ridiculous.
