rupees in zelda, gil in final fantasy

Because it's a simple concept to grasp and most games want to appeal to the widest market possible.

Most fantasy games use it (and even shit like DnD from before mainstream gaming) so now it's tradition

>appeal to the widest market possible
Instant way to tell a game is shit.

Because it's valuable on literally the entire planet.

Silver was a more widespread every day currency

Gold has useful qualities you learn about this in school op.
It doesn't degrade over time for starters, it is rare, it is veriviable.
So it is the original bank card.

I guess Super Mario World is shit.

>I guess Super Mario World is shit.
It is, you have poor taste

Better than credits, the most bland of currencies.

Gil is just Final Fantasy version of gold. Shit, in some of the games it's even referred to as gold or being made of gold.

>Ignorant basement dwelling manchildren dont know the most basic shit about the outside world nor general knowledge like the principal and most useful property of gold
Color me surprised, if you dont actually know this consider yourself to be a pathetic excuse of a person.

Zenny in all Capcom games

its a jewish scheme to make people think gold is valuable, when in reality is one of the most common materials on the universe.

Right winger/ Teaparty bias from neckbeard devs. I bet you anything we'll be seeing bitcoin (a type of digital "currency" they use to buy guns and worse) used as currency in games soon.
