-The battle system is being reworked which may impact the desirability of some items over the other.
-New items are being introduced in ARR
-Item crafting and resource collection changes in ARR

These are all going to place much bigger roles in market shaping than the gil changes will. The market is going to have to adapt. It would have had to even if the gil changes were not being made.
another that will change is the fact there will be many new players joining the game so the demands on some items will increase.

i'm more of the opinion that the people that are saying the economy will be changing are doing so for many reasons and not only the gil conversion.
