Including Gil adds anywhere from 1 day (RMT) to a few Months (if you have a reliable supply) to a few years (if you spend time actually playing and not grinding gil). I'm siding with relic because relic requires being a real player, not a gear-whore or an abyssea-spammer.
Correction...relic requires being a real farmer! Not that I'm diminishing the effort it takes to farm the amount of gil but i would hardly amount that to player skill.
