Over time they would drop. Depending on how loot is in the game and what npcs sell that would also change things.

The rich will stay rich however (aside from bad decision making or a loss in play time they normally invest).

The main thing is that new players wont see the price of a level 60 double meld as 1 trillion and give up. Because there have been many gil exploits through the birth and rise (fall?) of FFXIV, the gil needs to be brought back down to reasonable looking numbers.

Also we could be truthfully losing or gaining money (in %) depending on how they built the economy for 2.0, so its hard to say if we got screwed or won. A straight redenomination however doesnt lose anyone money, just digits to look at.
