Remichi

Remichi refers to a fictional currency or unit of exchange that appears in certain video games, particularly within the RPG genre. It is not a real-world currency and its value and use are entirely determined by the game's mechanics and narrative. In these games, remichi typically functions as a reward for completing quests, defeating enemies, or selling items. Players then use remichi to purchase new equipment, upgrade existing gear, acquire useful consumables, or unlock new abilities and content. The specific denominations and exchange rates of remichi vary greatly depending on the game, with some titles featuring simple one-to-one conversions while others employ more complex economic systems. The term itself is a portmanteau, often derived from the Japanese word "ryo" (両), a historical Japanese unit of currency, and a suffix that gives it a distinct, often slightly fantastical, sound. While the concept of in-game currency is common, "remichi" is a specific example that has gained recognition within certain gaming communities. Its primary purpose is to provide a tangible incentive for player progression and engagement within the virtual world.
