If the change just knocks a digit off, it would leave someone who has 150,000,000gil with 15,000,000gil, which is 84,999,999gil less than the former, and yet some rich players seem to be an advocate of the latter... I'm not following here...

Also, where's that digit being knocked off from? if it's from the end, are we saying 123,456,789 gil would be 12,345,678 gil, or would it be 23,456,789? Regardless which end you shave that digit off though, someone over cap would still wind up with less gil than just having any extra gil over the cap shaved off...

It sounds like some players don't like this simply because they want everyone to lose gil, not just them... Maybe it's just me, but the entire premise of Final Fantasy just doesn't seem to fit with that.

Less actual gil, but that gil would have the same inherent value as the higher number previously because EVERYONE would have lost the same percentage of their gil, thus making the value of the gil they have left go up by a proportional percentage.
