Whoever said RPGs require skill?
Before I get mauled, I'll say this: There are plenty of RPGs out there that require extensive planning and such. Final Fantasy Tactics comes to mind. But on the whole, just because an RPG is easy doesn't mean it's not an RPG. It all depends on how you define it, I suppose.
I do agree, though, that Final Fantasy's are not true RPGs. Morrowind is a true RPG that comes to mind. Though, I've never really heard a strict definition for it. I suppose any game in which you take the main character as your own would be an RPG, therefore, it all depends on the personal attachment.
But, who cares? Final Fantasy's are called RPG's, and we'll leave it at that.
