RPG is any game where you can talk/interact to NPC(act your role)
Some modern FPS/RTS(and even Touhou) contain RPG elements.

It's an action game. True RPGs are the ones where you can influence story. Zelda doesn't even have stats or other things.

The official genre is and always has been "action RPG".

it's not a role-playing game though, it's role-receiving. few games actually let you choose a role and play it how you want.

RPG isn't a statistical/gambling game.
believe it or not, R stands for Role not Random.
Diablo is "RPG" only becuase of backstory and quests.
Now if you remove all quests and NPCs from Diablo, the game won't change much. But it will not be a RPG anymore, becoming a hack and slash simulator. To be abstracted further, Diablo at its core has the monster-item hunt elements, which could be represented by a single room spawning a random monster(which drops a random item) or item, with objective to get the best item set(to maximize statistics of a given character). The rest is just "RPG elements" which bear no significance to the game.

No, it's Action-Adventure, officially.

I see that you people are unable to comprehend such basic terms as ``[turn-based] RPG'', ``action RPG'', ``hack-and-slash'', and ``action-adventure game''.
