You want to make it big in 2.0 off the bat? better start throwing your gil into items you feel will be big sellers at launch (Of course you could get totally boned by taking a poor guess at the market) But it's the only option you have if you feel your Gil is loosing it's value (It's not) But feel free to buy up everyones Karakul Fleece with the maxed out gil you have.
