For Dissidia: Final Fantasy, well, it is a fighting game too according to wikipedia, they called it ARPG too probably because of it being part of Final Fantasy series
back to TS, don't just quote that one line from Wikipedia, you need to read the entire article, and also the link I provided above

These games usually have a highly developed story and setting, which is divided into a number of quests. Players control one or several characters by issuing commands, which is performed by the character at an effectiveness determined by that character's numeric attributes. These attributes increase each time a character gains a level, and a character's level goes up each time the player accumulates a certain amount of experience
no other genres other than RPG offers that kind of detail regarding the "attributes", its not the storyline and characters, but the character stats aka dynamic attributes that distinguish RPG from the rest
