Right, I understand that, but my point is as the value of goods further plummets, all of the NPC prices are effectively rising because our ability to make gil has been severely hampered. For purchasing things off the market boards, this isn't a bad thing since it's generally stayed proportional, but for buying a Free Company house this is an absurd nightmare. My company has been putting money away for months and we still can't even afford the smallest and cheapest of houses. And now it's become so difficult to make any money at all that I wouldn't be surprised if we never saved enough.

If the NPC value of gil matched the player value of gil, this wouldn't be a problem. But it doesn't, so the more deflation we get, the more NPC prices effectively rise.
