The economy is not as inflated as it was. But it's mostly across the board, so you only really feel the improvement in some specific items. Everything else still takes as long.

Travel has gotten slightly better. Outpost Warps have lower level caps in some cases now, and once you've done a few quests, you can warp around among Jeuno, the three starting cities, and Whitegate (capital in the ToAU expansion). And there's an official windowed mode now, so you can do other stuff while waiting for the airship and all that. But you're still not going to get around the world in an instant, especially not at first.

The overall experience of playing the game hasn't changed that much, but there are noticeable (not huge) changes.
