I guess I should have clarified that I don't consider most 'Western' RPG games to be true RPGs either. In my eyes, an RPG is where you create a completely original character, and experience a story that can be altered or guided by the actions you take as your character. I guess my biggest gripe about most games that claim to be RPGs in general is lack of actual influence I have over many of the "Player Characters" they use, or the overall story and its progression, but that may just boil down to limitations of Video Games as a whole.
