RPGs are not a genre based on gameplay, since lets be honest: menu based combat isn't fun.
I'm really going to have to disagree with you here. I think menu based combat can be very fun, and I feel that combat is the primary strength of most Pokemon and most FF games I've played. There are some RPGs worth playing primarily for their story (Koudelka jumps to mind) but many FF games don't pass my threshold of "good story" and thus most of my desire to play them comes from their menu-based combat. Hell, several early FF games basically don't have a story at all (FF1-3) and are still fine games.
