Oh, shut up and help me remodel the Currency page!
Currency is a recurring feature in the Final Fantasy series. Aside from the popular Gil, which has seen an appearance in every game and is the currency most often used, there are also several other alternative forms of currency, which can appear in specific areas or regions, used either for a specific purpose, or as that region's currency.

GP[edit | edit source]
GP is used as a form of currency in the Gold Saucer. GP is most often won through games in the Wonder Square, or races in the Chocobo Square. It can also be bought from a man who sometimes appears at the entrance to the Gold Saucer, at an exchange rate of 100 Gil to 1 GP. GP can be used to play certain games, rest at the Inn in the Ghost Square, fight battles at the Battle Square, and can also be exchanged for prizes with a woman in the Wonder Square.
Item exchange rates are as follows:
| Name | Cost |

| Potion | 1 GP |

| X-Potion | 80 GP |
| Turbo Ether | 100 GP |
| Gold Ticket | 300 GP |

Battle Points[edit | edit source]
Battle Points, also known as BP, are scored through winning fights in the Battle Square.

The BP is lost if the player leaves the Battle Arena without expending all points.
