I don't care what you call it though. It looks like a damn cool game. If the end result is fun then you can call it a Barbie Pony Friendship Simulator for all I care.
It's not what I call it. It's the official label by Ubisoft and the ESRB. What you or I think it is doesn't matter.
Just proves how diluted the genre labeling has become when you can call a game a RPG when officially it's not.
