But the sprites and backgrounds were captured from 3d models.

Also, what about the foreground/background?

Captured from 3D =/= 2.5D.

AO/AE were designed to give the illusion of a 3D world, but a 2.5D game would technically have to consist of 3D models in-game.

And not just pictures of 3D models, actual 3D models.

EDIT: Never mind. That was a poorly articulated given.
