    Default What is gil?

    Well I got to thinking, what exactly IS gil? I mean it's the currency in many a FF's. But they ever explain what it truly is. I mean is it soem sort of coin? Paper money? Or maybe truly a gill of a fish or something?

    So what exactly is gil?

    Maybe it's a little gold or silver coin with a little symbol inscribed on it.
    I have a signature now. Am I cool yet?

    I always imagined it being coins. Coins are cool.

    It comes from "gilda," the Old English word for gold. (Compare it to the verb gild.) We know it's a coin thanks to the Coin Toss ability.

    yeah, in FFVI when you tell Setzer to use "GP Rain" or "Gil Toss", he'll throw disc-like coins. (those coins with holes in the middle).
    and in FFVII, if you use "Coin", you choose how much you wanna throw, then ur char throws a bunch of coins.

    Sorry people, but in the worlds of FF people use fish heads for currency.

    Pike heads are worth the most, and trout are in the middle, while catfish are really cheap, kinda like pennies.
