Which system would you prefer to look at. Which system looks like the inflation god just took a giant dump on it?

You can say its perspective, makes things look better. Or you can say SE is hiding the bad economy, ^_^.

Either way it will look better and put more value in the larger numbers as they are harder to reach.
We aren't talking about the difference between 10 gil and 100 Million gil, we're talking about the difference of 1 digit, so if you use your example, 10 gil or 100 gil. or you could take it the other way what if 1 potion = 1 gil. It only really effects how things are preceived at the higher prices, and it's all just preception in the first place, it won't change the value of anything, it'd just change the preception of the value. If it takes as much time/effort to get 1 mil then as it takes to get 10 mil now, that 1 mil isn't inheritly more valuable, it would be the same value if everything else is reduced by the same ratio. It just might seem more valuable.
