The developers are going all out on deflation measures. Ripping gil out of the economy.
Prices on everything going down, down, down. Value of gil going up, up, up.
This is actually a very healthy process considering the years of inflation from sparks and even back to cruor.
in games where the amount of currency you can hold is capped you don't want items inching closer and closer to that cap, it creates an insanely toxic dynamic.
also seen a decent amount of people complaining that they bought items at X price and now they are Y price. while it may be true, you likely also botted sparks to get the items when they were at X price so the comparison is not legitimate. value of gil is up, it's a good thing
