I want to know what a non casual game is!

[Mudcat]

I'm of the opinion that the casual/hardcore distinction is no more than a false dichotomy. I've played FF xi for seven years as a casual hardcore and never suffered from it, as have a majority of other players I've known there. And I have only known a mere handful that could be called 'Hardcore'. The majority of game play considered to be 'Hardcore' is the kind of repetitive tedium I would term 'unfun' in polite company.

That's just my 2 gil, though.
