WHY GENRE DESCRIPTIONS WHEN SUBMITTING A NEW GAME WOULD BE AN ACE IDEA.

Wikipedia says an SRPG is:
This sub-genre of role-playing game principally refers to games which incorporate elements from strategy games as an alternative to traditional role-playing game (RPG) systems. Like standard RPGs, the player controls a finite party and battles a similar number of enemies. And like other RPGs, death is usually temporary. But this genre incorporates strategic gameplay such as tactical movement on an isometric grid. Unlike other video game genres, tactical RPGs tend not to feature multiplayer play.

A distinct difference between tactical RPGs and traditional RPGs is the lack of exploration. For instance, Final Fantasy Tactics does away with the typical third-person exploration to towns and dungeons that are typical in a Final Fantasy game. Instead of exploration, there is an emphasis on battle strategy. Players are able to build and train characters to use in battle, utilizing different classes, including warriors and magic users, depending on the game. Characters gain experience points from battle and grow stronger and games like Final Fantasy Tactics award characters secondary experience points which can be used to advance in specific character classes. Battles will have specific winning conditions, such as defeating all the enemies on the map, that the player must accomplish before the next map will become available. In between battles, characters can access their characters to equip them, change classes, train them, depending on the game.

Tropesland says an SRPG is:
Console-style turn based strategy games are also more common on handhelds than on set-tops, and in Japan, where a long-running series is Super Robot Wars, a Massive Multiplayer Crossover game among many of Bandai's series and occasionally those of some other companies as well. In fact, some normally realtime series have been converted to this genre for handheld installments. Turn based strategy stands up especially well to the limited controls and computational muscle of handhelds, not to mention that turns are suitable to spurts of frequently interrupted casual play.

How many are Strategy RPGs, as defined above? This concerns me somewhat, as we might be frustrating a good deal of players who come here looking to scratch that tactical itch that would be very pleased with such offerings as Aurora Wing, Tale of Exile, and Cast Aside. Instead, these players get improper responses such as Pac-Man Adventures and The Fisherman Game - which, while both decent games, aren't Tactical RPGs at all.

Then there's the whole deal of "my gam has stratergy and its and rpg so its and srpg!".

So, I'm basically asking for two things here. First, the short-term solution of changing the "Strategy RPG" label to "Tactical RPG"; and second, descriptions attached to the genre selection to help guide new members into placing their games into the correct genres, such as

Tactical RPGs are a style of role-playing game where the placement of units on the field has a bearing on the gameplay, such as in Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy Tactics.
Arcade games harken back to the days of gaming yore with simplistic gaming experiences reminicient of Pac-Man, Frogger, or Galaga.

So, instead of a pulling down a list when you select your game's genre, you pick a radio button out of a set. Nothing drastically different, just a way to help developers help players find their games.
