正直に言えば、ギルについては非常に頭を悩ませているポイントです。
（経済循環の全体デザインという意味ではなく、貯め込んで頂いたギルと、排出速度について）
パッチ1.19で3国飛空艇/チョコボ関連/マテリアクラフト/レシピ改修などにより、
現在よりギルの使い道は大幅に増加します。
ただし、膨大に貯め込まれたギルが、どう動くのか予測しきれていない部分もあります。
ですので、パッチ1.19をかわきりに、消費先をどんどん拡大させた上で、
ギルの排出と消費を見ていこうと思っています。対応ははじめていますので、宜しくお願いします。
Honestly the gil issue is troubling me.
(Not meaning design of the total economic cycle but the gil the players have saved, usage rate)
In patch 1.19 3country Airship/Chocobo Related/Materia Craft/Recipe improvements should increase ways to utilize the gil.
But we cannot forecast how the gil will move for the huge amount of gil.
So in patch 1.19 expanding methods to consume more gil, and watch. We are already working on this.

So I wondered how much gil do people actually have? There were rumors of the early Blacksmiths and Goldsmiths were able to net close to a billion gil.

I myself stuck with Alchemy but was always just behind the guys who were able to sell glue for like 100k each. But still made a killing on dye in the early days before the cloth buff/alch nerf... sidestory aside, Yoshi's post tickled my brain and I was just curious.
