That's exactly what my point was, though.
The steam-powered stuff is all mundane things, like trains and whatnot. Nothing that would even be unreasonably technologically advanced in our own world. The fancy stuff is all magic-powered. There's nothing "steampunk" about mundane steam-powered machines, and there's nothing "steampunk" about mechas powered by magic. There's definitely nothing steampunk about some steam-powered machines being placed alongside some magic-powered machines. If anything, I'd label this as "magicpunk" as Freedom the Wolf mentioned, if that's even a viable term.
Although, now that I think of it, I seem to recall a desert castle that had some non-magical mechanical defense system that allowed it to burrow under the sand, and I think even travel around. That might qualify as steampunk... maybe clockpunk, I don't remember what powered the castle, but it wasn't magic. (NOTE: Just checked, it's Figaro Castle, and while it's at least mechanical, I'm not sure what powers it.)
But also, as I've said before, airships are not inherently steampunk, in the same sense that cyborgs are not inherently cyberpunk (I mean, you wouldn't call Star Trek cyberpunk, would you?). Especially if the airships are powered by magic.

I don't think, in my opinion, that when it comes to sci-fi technology it has to be run by steam to make it "steam punk". I think the term "steam" is being taken to literal. But in the point I'm making I'm saying that those games have elements of Steam Punk, it doesn't have to be considered Steam Punk literally, and as for Star Trek, it's clear that that is Sci-Fi in general, but certain things in that movie have elements in it. A lot of stories, games, and movies have elements of something.
