RPG's tend to have a few distinguishing characteristics, leveling up, epic end of world storyline and alot of them tend to be japanese (not counting mass effect) easiest way to tell is if you have a party of about 3 characters that level up and gain expericence after fights, thats an rpg. also if its longer than 20 hours, its probably an rpg! lol
Strategy games generally involve large armies battleing on large battlefields, FF revenant wings is a RTS (real time strategy) becuase you have an army of creatures that fight for you. Generally they are viewed from a top perspective too, looking over the battlefield and feature the ability to build bases though that dont have to have base building in them.
