Dragon Quest is about as "hardcore" as video games come, period.

 

As long as you can spend more time to increase the abilities of your character while not needing to increase personal skill, it won't be terribly "hardcore".

And since it'll come up, I define "hardcore" as games which challenge the player with tests of speed and reflex. Any game which is menu driven and has no urgency placed upon the player just doesn't classify in my book.

 spending hours grinding at a game is basically the definition of Hardcore.  There are few acts more hardcore then "Level Grinding"

 its sad to say but super monkey ball: banana blitz must be hardcore for the reason you are stating then. if not then your reasoning is wrong about hardcore's
