Also February 7th: two new weapon series for inventory sorting

The next is “Levance” weapons from Diaspora tier, and we request help from the French speakers again…
The rest of KoreGra repeats information revealed at Fes 2022-2023, so we’ll skim it.
New gacha system: players who finish the tutorial can get 300 rolls for 4500 Mobacoin (or equivalent) within their first 7 days. No date given. ALL players will have access for a limited time.
Lucifer Transcendence coming (no date given). After the update, you will be able to set level 200/210/250 Lucifer or 210/250 Bahamut on your Home page. Lucifer will have new lines, Bahamut will roar.
Six Dragon summons getting new uncaps. Fediel will be released as a summon in February, so all six will be uncappable at the same time.
No date given, the safe bet for most of these announcements is “close to the anniversary on March”
Auto Arcarum exploration coming, where characters go off on their own and come back with XP and treasure. Scheduled for “Spring” 2023 release
Arcarum updates: new pages to Sephira Guidebooks, 4 new books.
4 new areas, which will drop treasures required to uncap an Evoker to 5 stars. Completing the areas will unlock Extra weapon slot 13. The areas will drop treasures required to uncap an Evoker to 5 stars. (Cont.)
After you uncap an Evoker to 5 stars, you unlock one final area where you can The World awaits. The first Evokers with 5 star uncaps will be Maria Theresa and Cain in March.
Details on Evoker 5 stars will be shown at the 9th Anniversary stream in March.
The Xeno series will be made permanent, and the first of the new series of “X” bosses will run in April.
The new Wonder series will come from the X series in April and more details will come then.
New details on the upcoming class upgrade system for EX2 and Tier IV classes:
This system replaces what was previously announced at the 7th anniversary for these classes. They found that adding more class weapons would constrict playstyles, and created this new system instead.
Unlocking the new system will require Master Level 30 on any 10 Tier IV or EX2 classes, then clearing a new Free quest.
Further explanation of the Full Auto on/off option for individual skills: they call out that this will end the era of certain characters being intentionally left with no skill 3. Heals and other skills that were not cast during FA before will still not be cast in new FA.
An additional note on the update that will also use Quick Summon during full auto: it will not work if the MC or Lyria are not in the front row.
Reminder that Yamato is still a tier IV class that is coming out
#GBVS Rising reminder that the first new character reveal will be shown at GBVS Cygames Cup Special 2023 on February 25th
Grimnir’s character single, Pledge of the Tempest, is available for preorder now and will release on March 1st. The code will come with the standard set of 2 voiced stickers, 3 elixirs, and an SR or better weapon ticket.
(Typo corrected)
That’s pretty much all the new stuff - there’s plenty of news about Relink, anniversary releases, etc but it’s all repeats from Fes.
The next news drop will be at 1500 JST (in under 2 hours) when the Valentine’s Day store on the Cystore opens, and then Sakura/Lelouch 5* at 1700

There is a long, long list of minor updates to GBF so let's get cracking on what's changed (most of these won't affect your gameplay at all)
1) First time clear rewards for certain quests now go to different places.
Treasures and Wonders: now go straight to inventory instead of to crate
Draw tickets: now go to crate instead of straight to inventory
2) The individual members of Ti Icniuhtli Xolotl as summons can no longer be set as level 1 party support summons in the Estimated Damage calculator, since they've never existed at level 1
(we told you these things won't really affect gameplay)
The Special Collab Pass works much like Skyscope missions, and are meant to be very easy. Each mission has a point value, and 1000 points will unlock all rewards. Some missions can be done daily.
More missions will unlock on Feb 9th, when the Persona 5 collab rerun starts.
Part 1 special missions include clearing the Nezha/Twin Elements series of solo quests within 15 turns, as well as the usual set of collab quests.
