The Current Economy

[Altena]

There will be more gil sinks, in time♪

When the housing system hits, that's going to be a pretty decent sink and there will be more in the future~

That's like saying "everything will be ok" without any actual point. The housing system is one example that may have an initial outlay (for land costs I am assuming) but from what I read in the live letter about it - the only real cost to that is the land. Going by how 1.xx economy went towards the end, with them having to reduce a digit as some people hit capped gil - isn't exactly a positive result.

What they really need is a common item that everyone requires, yet is consumed frequently. Otherwise once everyone buys their block of land, makes a pretty house, they will go back to hoarding gil.

You're expecting everything right off the bat though and telling SE what they already know.
Saying they need gil sinks is like saying a human needs oxygen to survive. - It's obvious and I'm sure they know this already

Well I don't expect much, a simple NPC that sells stuff people need & forces gil out of the game would suffice, and I am sure that wouldn't take very long :/

I was also under the belief that the housing system (the only example that is known) wasn't coming til a following patch? Pretty sure it was mentioned that it wasn't going to be ready for 2.0 release. I could eat my words sure, but the point needs to be made as I fear that the game will fall back into having the bad economy that we saw in 1.x..

I mean I have complete faith in yoshi & his team of devs, however going by the information available, the point has to be raised.
