It's my belief that inflation didn't hurt anyone. What earned you 6M back then, earns you 600k now, but what costs 5M then, costs you 500k now. For the most part everything is just traded in smaller gil amounts now, but I hope everything has remained proportional.

There's 1 advantage to inflation that I just recently noticed, which is NPC prices. I leveled goldsmithing back in the day when inflation was rampart, so buying 300 gil silver ores from the NPC was small change, even when bought in mass amounts. Now all those 300 gil ores are starting to stack up at 14,400 a stack, plus the cost of fire crystals.

15,000 was nothing back then, I shrugged it off. But when I start making multiple stacks of silver ingots in today's market just so I can synth them all later into useless items purely for skill ups, starts adding up after awhile.

I for one miss inflation. I liked seeing the big numbers, sure 1M wasn't much back then, but I still liked seeing it. Call it a placebo effect.
