Congratulations, survivors!

Not too sharp at maths eh? lol

- Total Frozen Gil: Approximately 367,700 million Gil

Not even close to 1 billion.....

On topic - That's a huge sum of money.... May I suggest its ploughed into a casino in Costa Del Sol or similar location? I'd love to have a gamble now and again..
What is the Japanese stance on gambling by the way??

No it isn't hahahahaha

1 billion is 1,000,000,000 A 10 digit number

Guess again

I usually never laugh when reading forums, perhaps because I only come onto forums when I'm grumpy, but this put a big smile on my face. I would start with learning how to count zeros before even considering gambling your money away; you won't even know if you ever get duped.

Sigh, go back to middle school.

It's not even middle school. Remember doing Mountain Math in 3rd grade?

1,000 Million = 1 Billion, therefore 367,700 million = 367.7 billion = 367,700,000,000 = 12 digits, 12 digits > 10 digits.

Haha. Sorry, I just had to :P

I have to admit, as an EU player I was thrown off at first by the JP numeric conventions.

No it isn't hahahahaha

ITT: People don't understand that "One-thousand-million" == One billion

Anyway, if you truly did nothing wrong you'll be clear, if you did do something wrong - no surprises now, eh?

[davidbowie]

why would i need congratulations i follow the Square Enix Terms of service I do not buy gil, I do not use hacks or cheats and i don't complain about there not being enough ways to make gil in game, those who cheat and have not been caught your time is short and you soon will be gone.

You guys arguing about how much 1 billion is should inform yourselves first....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales

A billion depends where you are from, in a good amount of places, a billion is actually called a milliard and for them the billion is something different

I had to go check the original(?) Japanese, because "100,000 million" seemed like a strange way to say 100 billion. (Years ago it was common to hear UK presenters mostly say "one thousand million" to mean "billion", but "billion" is becoming more common today. Edit: I guess this is UK switching to the short scale, though most of Europe uses the long scale.)

The Japanese said 約3677億ギル, or "about 3677 x 100,000,000 gil" which would be 3677 x 0.1 billion = 367.7 billion using the short scale. So I guess "367,000 million" is accurate no matter which scale is used.

Fun fact: Talking Barbie doll never said "math is hard". (Only about 1.5% of all dolls originally sold said "Math class is tough!", but those were replaced on request.)

I read that as even if you did nothing wrong, but you were still suspected, that your gil was confiscated.

- Total Frozen Gil: Approximately 367,700 million Gil
* Gil of temporarily suspended accounts will be confiscated.
