I would have thought having actually challenging and frantic real time combat is what makes a game closer to the arcade philosophy and not misfeatures like coop most people wouldn't use.

My intention was to not include action rpgs since they are already well-known well-discussed on Codex. If I added Ys I would probably also add Diablo, Path of Exile and Pillars of Eternity as well. Arguably I should not have included Secret of Mana but I thought the multiplayer novelty was worth making an exception.

Obviously it depends on where you draw the line between action-adventure and action-rpg.
