A: No, there won't be a gil wipe. However, we do currently have plans to decrease the max digit by 1 (999,999,999 > 99,999,999)

It says no gil wipe. It says max digit. This is as plain as it gets. It doesnt say everyone will be reduced by one digit. It plainly says max digit. The only people affected by this are people with more than 100mil. Store it on retainer or a mule. Really people?
When it says max digit it isn't clearly referring to the cap. Like I said it's a digit drop. It was explained in some more detail during the actual live letter.

Also, ironically, they can't quite say there won't be any gil taken away when they intend to cap gil with a value less than what so many players have. Lowering only the cap can result in gil being removed from the game. A global reduction of 1 digit will not result in any "gil" being taken away from the game.


Eh... on that note, I'm pretty much done here. I'll just sit tight and wait for either the official translated video or a rep to clear it up. Once you all realize they are in fact performing a re-denomination and lowering all gil values by a factor of 10 I'm sure more people who can't grasp how that will work will get to posting then.
