Cash Gate: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Breath of Fire I]]'', there's a part where you have to pay 50k GP to proceed. Hardly you would have the money by now, but there's a side quest to obtain a gold bar that sells for exactly 50k GP.

* While you aren't asked for a specific amount, Chapter 3 of ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'' qualifies, since near the end you must buy a large amount of weapons and armor, so you need to hoard a crapload of cash. Thankfully, [[Random Drops]] during the chapter are really, really good, helping a lot. Additionally, you need 35000 gp to open the store (though you can get 25000 by selling a statue), and you need 60000 gp to build the tunnel. There's a person that will buy a certain set of weapons/armors for 60000 gp.

* In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Chapter 2-3, you need to make 1,000,000 rubees by working in a generator room after breaking one of Mimi's vases. {{spoiler|In actuality, this merely involves raising around 1000 rubees to get access to the more lucrative work room, and then to buy the password to the vault which contains the remaining cash for 10,000 rubees}}.

* In ''[[Recettear]]'', paying off Recette's [[Disappeared Dad]]'s debt is arguably one of these. Failing to make a repayment is still the [[Game Over]] condition, but the game allows you begin [[New Game+]] nonetheless - in fact, it's ''very'' difficult (but not quite impossible) to complete the game without doing this once.

** Clearing the [[Cash Gate]] by making the final repayment unlocks Endless Mode, where the game continues without the money pressure, allowing you to focus on dungeons and plot; and Survival Mode, where the debt constantly ramps and can can't ever be fully paid off.

* In ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'', you need 3000 gil to ride the train to Timber and another 3000 to get to Deling City.

* ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' requires two trips to the Gold Saucer, so you have to pony up 3000 gil for admission each time.
