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.
Appearances[]
Final Fantasy VII[]
GP[]
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, such as the Speed Square, 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 |
| Ether | 20 GP |
| X-Potion | 80 GP |
| Turbo Ether | 100 GP |
| Gold Ticket | 300 GP |
| Carob Nut | 500 GP |
| Gil Plus Materia* | 1,000 GP |
| Exp Plus Materia* | 2,000 GP |
*Available only after Gold Saucer reopens on disc 2, only one available.
Battle Points[]
Battle Points, also known as BP, are scored through winning fights in the Battle Square. Fights cost 10 GP to participate, and players are awarded BP based on the amount and difficulty of handicaps received, and the number and difficulty of opponents defeated. The BP is lost if the player leaves the Battle Arena without expending all points.
Below is a list of items that can be exchanged for BP:
