Yeah, the definition of an Action RPG is fairly loose. Essentially, its a distinction that many folks use to talk about games that are entirely hack and slash but have RPG trappings (i.e. leveling up, storyline, gearing up, etc.). Often games that have more action game combat set-ups (not the more turned-base or pause and select style of combat) but otherwise are RPGs are grouped in that category. I was simply stating that Jade Empire has more traditional RPG bearings than the first definition of "action RPG."
