Final Fantasy XIII is not a true RPG by BioWare’s definition, according to Star Wars: The Old Republic writing director Daniel Erickson. 

“You can put a ‘J’ in front of it, but it’s not an RPG,” Erickson told Strategy Informer, after the site suggested FFXIII had an excellent story but slightly tedious gameplay.

Shouldn’t someone who actually works in the gaming industry know the etymology of the JRPG acronym? No, they’re not role-playing games. Yes, everyone and their uncle knows that by now.
