This is why I'd never call myself a hardcore gamer. You get associated with clowns like this a gang of 14 year olds saying any non-M rated game is casual, any game that sells alot of copies is casual, and that sports games are casual despite having some of the most complex control setups and game systems in the industry.

Why do people consider some JRPGs as hardcore? Especially some MMOs.
There is absolutely nothing hardcore about a JRPG. Since when did time sinks become hardcore? I thought hardcore gaming was all about the challenge of the game, not grinding mindlessly for hours until your wizard gets another 40 levels.
You sound like you don't even understand how people here use the term "hardcore" Actually, he sounds like he totally understands how the majority of people here use the word.

wait, what? have you ever, ever tried to beat FF IV DS? Or have you ever played Chrono Trigger? Or Final fantasy VII? Or Dragon Quest? Or Star Ocean III? Or even Pokemon for that matter?
Does it matter? They can still be insanely fun. Being casual isn't necesarrily a negative. Hell, it doesn't really hurt the genre at all if it is considered "casual."
A lot of JRPGs only let you grind mindlessly for the first part of the game. I'm guessing you quit a lot of JRPGs before they got challenging.
Try finishing Star Ocean or The Last Remnant, that is if you ever buy an xbox and stop playing all those hardcore games that are available for the wii.
With games like Animal Crossing and Carnival Games I'm sure you probably don't have time for much else.
