    Cookie Favorite Currency

    Lots of RPGs love to add flavor to their world with different types of currency, so which ones stand out for you? Rupees, Macca, Gil, or traditional Gold? What about something more obscure?

    I love when videogames use a different term for gold, even as slang. For example "drakes" in Elder Scrolls and "sovereigns" in Dragon Age.

    Capcom games usually used Zenny. I believe even Mega Man Legends used that form of currency. I have a weird nostalgia for it. However, I also adore the classic GP. I'm old.

    Yeah Zenny, though from Breath of Fire rather than Ultra Fellow Stories. Also as Pike says there are some games that use neat little terms for standard gold, like in DA or TES.

    And of course, Credits in every sci-fi game ever.

    I always liked the Zenny and it was a unique name for currency.

    You people are traitors! This is a Final Fantasy site and you say something other than Gil.

    Munny is very satisfying to collect so I'll go with that.

    I wonder why they changed it?

    Anyway, I like Rupees.

    The real question is: gil with a hard or soft g?

    It's hard g of course, just like GIF. IGNORE WHAT THE GUY WHO CREATED GIFS SAYS. he is an outlier and shouldn't be counted
