"RPG and money"
, posted Thu 20 Mar 18:53
Hello! I have settled into my new job now so I can (hopefully!) post on a more regular basis when the boss isn't looking.
Just for fun, list RPGs and its form of currency in this thread. No boring stuff like dollars and gold, ok? :)
What I can think of right now:
Phantasy Star series - Meseta Breath of Fire series - Zenny
Only two? Oh, what a bad memory I have! ^^

Don't forget the Gil from Final Fantasy and other Square games!
Oh, and the Zenny is also used in Mega Man games.

Luc in Seiken Densetsus. Well, at least the third one, too lazy to check the others. And the Gald (sometimes Gold) in the Tales games.

Potches (spelling) from Suikoden. Gald from Tales series.

It's just me or in almost all the games where Zenny is the money everything is usually too expensive?

Haha, you do encounter lots of money problems when Zenny is used!
And while we're on the discussion of RPG currency, I wonder which is the most horribly priced item ever? Tales of Phantasia's Combo Command (Controler?) comes to mind :)

Maybe, but money isn't much of a trouble in ToP.
Lufia 2 is a game where EVERYTHING was too expensive, on the other side.

The only games I've played that come close to being RPGs are the legend of Zelda games, which use Rupees.

Oh, Black Dragon isn't an RPG, it was just another game I was throwing out.. but I guess Mega Man isn't an RPG either. ^_^ They use " Guilder " in Alundra..

Didn't noticed until today how boring RPG money tends to be. For example, Puyo Puyo Box's RPG-like mode has G's... I wonder if that means gold or something...
And forgot to tell you, welcome back Holiday!

Not totally related but Robot Taisen games use Credits.
Don't forget that in the Us version of BoF 2 the money was called "coins"... Fairly lame name.

Thanks, Rid! ^_^ Ok! To summarise again:
Phantasy Star - Meseta Breath of Fire / Mega Man / Black Dragon (haha, nevermind) - Zenny Final Fantasy / Square rpgs? - Gil Seiken Densetsu - Luc Tales of - Gald Suikoden - Potches Zelda - Rupee Alundra - Guilder Robot Taisen - Credits
Hmm, Sonic Adventure uses... Gold Rings? ^_^;;
Rupees are used in India and Guilders are used in... um some European country which I can't remember at the moment, so it's not totally original either. Yeah and RPG currency is boring. Either that, or we have bad memories :)

Don't forget the Lunar saga with its Silver! It's not -that- different an idea from gold, but then, it's less common currency (and there are some great, often hilarious, stories on silver standard supporters in US history). Xenogears has G, which I mention only because it never seemed to be vocalized that G meant Gold. Most RPGs just pointed to it as abbreviation, but Xeno never did to my recollection. It could've been any number of types monetary unites! "Gremlins" or "Goulash" will do.

zennys are used in most capcom games - strider, sidearms, Forgotten Worlds...
Incidentally, Forgotten Worlds stuff was reasonably priced, I thought.
Um, I think the Exile series used...ruples? I wish I had time to check.
I thought Goemon used something interesting? maybe not.

They use " ryo " in Goemon. Another old Japanese form of coinage ( the " big bucks " , as opposed to zeni, which was " chump change " )

Add Gems in Terranigma. And don't know if the "q with 2 horizontal bars across it" from Pokémon would count .

"Fallout and Planescape"
, posted Sun 23 Mar 11:53:
The PC games Fallout and Planescape: Torment (both of Blacl Isle Studios fame) had rather distinct currency.
Planescape's currency of chioce was copper coins. Very ironic, in that Sigil offered some of the most poweful artifacts in the multiverse for sale.
Fallout used bottle caps. You heard me: Bottle freakin' caps. :)
So Link may actually be Indian? That explains Sheik, then. And the Tri-force which may then be the distillation of Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu.
A caveat: it's 4 am in the morning, which gives me a licence to say stupid things

They're called "Poke-bucks" or something along those lines. Silly name.
If you ask me, I think Goulash should become a currency. Or at least what bacs the dollar.
