I think that would be space opera. FMA for example has a world where things advance and the magic is viewed and studied through the scientific method, whereas Star Wars is stagnant and basically runs on magic. The fact that it takes place in space is basically the only reason anyone thinks it's sci-fi. Nobody gives a poo poo about science in Star Wars and it has nothing to say about science. The exact same story could take place with actual WW2 planes and ships instead of x-wings and star destroyers.

Well they should because endless Magic Dark Ages are so played out. Someone fast forward Middle Earth or Westeros a couple hundred years and show us how the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution are shaking things up.

Warhammer Fantasy is kinda renaissancey
