Final Fantasy 16 is not really like a typical jrpg. As a dev the dev shouldn't really care about which genre a certain game has, just make a good game and don't care about jrpg, action game or whatever your game is. We player decide the genre to know which group of gamers are maybe interrested in the game.
To be fair, I think the reason they'd care about the genre is because they want to try (their best at least) to grab people who might've liked FF14 or 15.
It's kindof like how Yakuza: LAD turned off a huge portion of their playerbase because as much as people like the story, a good chunk of people who like Action games don't like traditional JRPGs which are more "take your time" kindof games.
(Note Yakuza: LAD is a great game)
Maybe they should gave Yakuza like a dragon a different name or make clear it's a different series as the kiryu series. I think someone should just change a genre of a franchise completly, but if they want do different games as spinoff of a franchise.
