Thoughts on Sony making a "Western" RPG?

I feel like Horizon, at least Horizon 1 isn't quite an RPG. I can't really comment on Horizon 2 yet, I've heard some say it's more RPG-like.  

It's got quite a few RPG staples like dialogue choices, quests, levels. But I feel like most of these RPG elements are very surface level. The dialogue choices don't meaningfully change the game. The levels don't really meaningfully change how you play. It's a very far cry from Skyrim where leveling up either completely opens up a huge amount of skills.

I'm personally of the mind that I would like to see Sony try their hand at an RPG. I think I've talked about that too much even.
