I think this is just a consequence of people not having a name for 3d zelda-like combat (third person + lock-on + roll) until dark souls became popular. It was under the vague umbrella of “action games”, which is not really helpful in describing anything. So I think it’s fine, call whatever you want a dark souls/earthbound/rogue-like if you feel it’s a useful shorthand.
