1-Don't know why it's in thousands though.

2-@KNN: Ruby exploring Mistral and uncovering things as per her mission (as well as interacting with the major characters in Volume 5, including Pyrrha's mother) would be a godsend to her character. 1-I'm not entirely sure how accurate my search was, but supposedly $1 = 9,99000bsf, though it increases. That said, I'm not sure if the, is to say "Nine-point-ninety nine", IOW 10bsf, or "nine hundred ninety nine thousand" IOW 10.000, or "nine hundred ninety nine" IOW 1.000bsf. I'm also not sure how up-to-date it is, last I heard $1 = around 3.000bsf.

I do know that Venezuela suffers hyperinflation with extremele horribly high prices. It's like in Japan, where importing things ends up miles cheaper than buying them inside the nation. Hell, actually-imported products from Brasil, with much higher quality, are indeed cheaper than the things we make.

The scarcity of most (basic) products increasing the rarity (and thus value), plus the people's greed and general ignorance and disrespect of even the most basics of commerce (you know that bit of "lower the prices if no one buys the product"? Here's the inverse) don't help.

McDonalds, specifically, was horribly expensive long before the rest of the nation though. When the minimum average price became 1000bsf, McDonalds's products already were more than twice that expensive.

2-Mmmmmmm.......Uncovering things....no. Developing her character would be a godsend to her. Those nightmares she had, her supposed stress and guilt, and any number of things that could happen in response to some revelation in the Volume, all those things could develop her.

Given how much wasted potential for it there was in V4, using it in V5 would only be fair.
