I might get called a troll for this... but I do mean it as an honest question since FFXIV is my first and only online game.


What is Hard Core? What is Casual?

Is the defining point between Hard Core and Casual simply a matter of how much time a person can spend playing the game?

Or does it also have something to do with mindset and goals? i.e. the reason why we play?

-------------

Am I Hard Core? Or am I Casual? I honestly don't know.

- I've been playing for hours on end almost every single day since October (being a housewife has its perks!) because I really have a lot of fun in Eorzea.

- Yet, after all this time, I only have 1 class at R50 because I only do battle when my friends are logged in; and many times we don't even do that -- We often just sit around talking for hours.

- I don't really care about having the best equipment and have pretty much worn the same outfit since November because I like how it looks, even though some of the pieces do not even favor my main classes (I am aware of the consequences).

- I'm not a skillful player, nor is it really my goal to become so. But I really enjoy Dzemael because it requires teamwork, and I do have to play at the best of my meager ability in order to keep myself and my friends alive.


What am I? ^^;
