reducing gil cap from 1b to 1m

[Renen]

I love how everyone says that items being sould by retainers will go from 10mil to 1mil if they do this Gil drop on all the players....that's B.S....everyone here knows that they would take that said expensive item and lower it slowly til it sold...so to 9mil, 8mil, 7mil, all to say...2.5mil when it starts selling again...so it doesn't fix the economy it just removes others hard work...(I only have 10mil and this upsets me because I have legitimately worked for that)

You have 10 mil, and will be losing 9mil
Someone else has 100mil and will be losing 90mil.
See how this works?

Oh I see it...I don't agree with it.

Can we get a source for these claims that our gil is being cut down? There is absolutely no reason to believe that our gil is being reduced to 10% of what it is now. All that was said is the cap is being reduced. Everyone seems so adamant about this, but I haven't seen one single source and everytime someone points that out they get no answer or just "no, you're wrong."

That's actually what many people are asking for. all we have right now is a very bare bones translation that bayohne posted. and the common sense to realize that there is absolutely no point what so ever in reducing the gil cap without actually redenominating gil entirely.

We want clarification for what Yoshi actually meant.

your gil wont change unless you have over 99,999,999 and even if you do you can just invest in items/materia/w/e to save that gil for 2.0 and you might lose a little or gain a little based on the demand for that particular item that was invested in.

Other way i see them doing it is, they let you keep all your gil, you just can't gain anymore until your back under that 99,999,999 cap. Option A would probably be safer for people though lol.

Edit: Ah, forgot excess items go to an npc if your over the cap for you to retrieve, so this is probably the case with gil too... maybezz
