What is the purpose of Gil?

[Berabouman]

Level 32, not really seeing what gil is for besides teleport fees. You can get decent enough gear from quests and dungeons. Maybe crafting?

[Godsleftsock]

I'll take it, it's worthless

[Ezek]

For your seaside villa when housing opens up.

[Enygma55]

Money makes the world go round. You wanna make a relic? Go spend a week farming for ur drop, or spend 5 min on the AH and buy the base weapon. Thats what gil is good for.

Saves you time. Time is money, therefor money saves money! (yea that makes no sense to me either)

[Lucavi]

This, and to quickly buy that last mat on the AH so you don't have to dig into the 3 piles of shit in your own retainer just to turn in that company craft for the day.

[Lonely]

It speeds up progression for leveling classes, either spend 2 minutes on the marketplace or several hours farming dungeon gear or crafting mats. There are gil sinks everywhere in the game with teleports and such and when housing comes that will be the big gil sink.

[Syntex]

For that Dalmatica +1 that was worth 100m back in the day so you can look pimp.

[saucyracer]

Gil = money.

[Ksandra]

some materia is rather expensive, and you're gonna want that come endgame

[Don Katsu]

Just like the previous game you will want materia and to do things quicker. Sure you can get all the gear for every class through AF and quest but what happens when they start introducing better stuff that requires rare materials with bad drop rates?

Its useless now but will be extremely useful later.

What do you mean "when"?

The best gear out there atm is crafted stuff with melds. Shit can be mad expensive too.

[Berabouman]

Thanks for the responses. All good points. I guess I will hang onto my gil until houses become available or I start needing materia.

[Aleth]

Spend the most gil ATM on dyes to make my armour look less daft.

[Arthars]

ur making gils now cos ur lvling

for a lvl 50 player spamming dungeons i actually losing money on damn repairs!

Best is gear with melds? What happened to AF2? Haven't really done a direct comparison between max melded darksteel and it but I was under the assumption it was top tier.

[Kensaki]

What the fuck does getting mythology tokens have to do with BiS?

[Niiro]

The best gear available to the vast majority of people anytime soon*

If quest reward junk and the odd dungeon piece alone will carry you all the way through AF2 then SE has already made 90% of gear (and 100% of materia) pointless.

It already does.... so they did. Not saying it's great design... it just is.
