It's supposed to make you conserve your MP; but you shouldn't be using it so often anyway. But you find a lot of Ethers throughout the game, which should be enough. If you're playing the Gameboy Advance version, money shouldn't be an issue though.

Re: ethers cost so much
 

gill is really not that hard to get unless you have the one on GBA.

i saw a megalixer in the lunar ruins but it cost like 500000gil.i could only buy 4.

Here's the best way to get money.

Steal like a few hundred Siren items from the Last Arm and Alarm monsters in the Lunar Ruins areas that look like the Tower of Babil/Giant of Babil. Then go to the bottom room before the fifth floor in the Core of the Moon (the one that had a treasure chest in it). Make sure everyone or most of your party members have Ribbons. Use the Sirens. You'll encounter Flan Princesses. You'll always encounter five. Use Bahamut/Meteor/Holy/whatever until they die. You'll get a ton of experience and around 230,000 Gil each time. If you're extremely lucky, you can get a Pink Tail and give it to the tail guy in the Adamant Cave for an Adamant Armor, though I've only gotten one. Turbo Ethers and Fuma Shurikens are also normal drops from them.

By the time I was done using my Sirens, I had a bit over 10,000,000 Gil. But don't buy Megalixirs, you don't need them. Just buy normal Elixirs.

Oh wow. I have the Chronicles version, and I couldn't make it past the last Behemoth on the moon without Ethers. Can someone tell me where to buy them? I could have sworn it was Underground or something.

Re: ethers cost so much
 

Yeah, the GBA version is pretty broken.

For Chronicles, I'm sure that you can buy them in the Hummingway home. (South of the Lunar Palace, in a cave). I haven't gotten to the Moon yet on my file, but I'm sure it's the same.
