Quote:
Gagaruna: Welcome, friend, to the Platinum Mirage, where the sands turn to gil! But do not be deceived─we are no mere gambling arena. We are the very driving force behind Ul'dah's economy.
Gagaruna: We amass gil, to be sure, but we also lend it. It is our duty to see that the city maintains a healthy flow of gil.
Gagaruna: Of course, such dealings as ours carry inherent risks, and we are always looking for able-bodied adventurers to serve in our guard. What do you say?
Gagaruna: A wise investment in your future, adventurer. Now for your first lesson, though it may be one you have learned already. The world of Eorzeans has but three essential constituents─love, power, and money.
Gagaruna: If you are well loved, power and money will come. If you wield power, you can take both love and money. And if you have money, you can buy either love or power. Yet lack for any, and you shall never rise high.
Gagaruna: The city's guilds were founded upon these tenets. Eshtaime's Lapidaries and Frondale's Phrontistery devote themselves to the mysteries of love. The Coliseum and Amajina & Sons Mineral Concern, meanwhile, are dedicated to the honing of power and might. And as for the mastery of coin and wealth, none are more accomplished than the Order at Arrzaneth Ossuary, or we of the Platinum Mirage.
Gagaruna: Yes, you can learn much and more of money by studying here. In time, you will come to learn that money is everything. Shall we begin, then?
Gagaruna: Time is money, and you seem keen not to waste any. That is good. Go and speak to Titinin within. He will guide you.
