They only said that the cap would be lowered. What would be the point of lowering everybody's gil anyway? beside pissing people off.. Someone said it would be fair to new players but they're making brand new servers so that's not a valid point. I see it being useful for when they re-release the game. RMTs won't be able to hold as much gil, so they can't "save up for 2.0" (like some players said they're doing -_- ) so there won't be a big amount of gil exchanged back into the game in a short amount of time. But other than that, they can just lower gil rewards and npc costs to fix the amount of gil in the game, no need to take anybody's gil
