Disappointed by Alexander (story) difficulty, fear Savage difficulty

[Odstarva]

What does casual even mean these days? I play this game very often (maybe even too often), and although I can apreciate difficulty I certainly dislike the idea of devoting weeks to just clearing one stage of the game. Does this make me a casual?


I don't understand...

Edit:

To make sure it can be easily downed by anyone. If it were less it would probably be too difficult of a gear check for any non hardcore person to do. Putting that high of a gear check keeps it casual

Wait... Placing no minimum ilvl (meaning anyone can tackle) makes it more hardcore, while restricting to players that have achieved better gear makes it more casual?




....What? That seems rather contradictory...

Well in the world of final fantasy 14 If you can grind for weeks and buy gear from a vendor..that is considered casual gear..where as you can one shot a raid boss or spend a few collective hours on them..and get that gear is considered hardcore gear..so who knows lol.

When content originally has no ilvl requirement and then one gets added onto it, it's usually largely over what the content was able to be cleared in, making any DPS checks/HP checks/etc. trivial. Therefore, if something comes with an ilvl requirement by default, it is above the actual ilvl required to beat the encounter.
