ARR Gil Cap Reduction

[Moiren]

Think there are two interpretations so far:

1. New "max" gil cap is being reduced by 1 digit, right now it's 999,999,999 which will bring it to 99,999,999. This would only affect people that are above the gil cap directly. This is the interpretation from Bayohne's post.

2. Cutting a digit off from the end would affect everyone directly. Relative fortune would still be the same since everyone is getting a digit knocked off not only the people who are above the "new cap." For this to work everything in the game should have a digit cut off. Basically, this just makes numbers smaller and nothing really changes. This interpretation lends itself to the translation where YoshiP explains that things will get "cheaper."

The confusion is between which is the actual case.

While 2 would make more sense, when in ARR new rare items are introduced, it's hard to think people will sell them for how much they would sell them now / 10.
1 is without sense.

I really hope SE reconsider this. This is a stupid change.
