Rob has a point, but it's kinda of immaterial at this juncture. Using the term RPG, even for wRPGs, has always been sort of a misnomer since the video-game medium, until recently, has usually been limited in what it can allow you to do. I would say there are a few actual video RPGs out there, mostly wRPGs. But at this point it's just what the genre has come to be identified as.
It's why I never really got into wRPGs in the first place. I recognize you're not doing much actual roleplaying in jRPGs, but I play it to cut my workload, enjoy a story and get some gameplay out of it. If I want actual, meaty roleplaying, I play an actual P&P RPG. wRPGs just seemed to me to be a lukewarm halfway point between those two things that I never really enjoyed when I played them.
I've always found complaining about "THERE'S NO ROLEPLAYING IN JRPGS OMG" to be pretty dumb, myself. I thought people knew that?
