All discussion about Items and Money go here.
Like everything else, they should be video game themed.
I stated before that Money could be Points like in acrade games and platformers. Laramiecorp suggested they should be bytes.
I'm a bit split on those, so let me know what you think guys.

On the topic of items, we have the most common items in RPG games. Healing items.
An idea i had would be that storage media could be the healing items. No real reason, they just come in different levels and are game themed.
Carts could be HP healing. 8Bit for low level healing, 16 bit the medium level, 32 bit high level and 64 for full healing.
And Discs would be MP healing. CD for low level, DVD for high level, BluRay for full.

And we should try to be a little creative with shopping in the game. Like different stores will buy certain kind of items at higher prices, or implement a scratch card system like Bowsers Inside Story or whatever. You guys probably have better ideas than me.
