Japan Server Differences

This page will cover the differences between the Japanese server and the global server. It is assumed that over time global will get most of the changes listed here but there are no guarantees. New characters and gear will not be listed here. Specific missions/events will not be listed, but new categories of events or missions will be. For information about when Japan got specific units, job upgrades, mementos and enlightenments, see Update History Japan.

Memento

 * Mementos that are gacha and provide units give 25 shards when pulling duplicates (Added January 28, 2021 in Japan)

Unit

 * There is new type of unit called guest unit (specific units can only be acquired this way). For guest units you don't own the unit at the beginning- you must raise it and take them with you on quests. Once you reach 100% trust with the unit you get to keep them. (Added June 2019 in Japan)

Unit Group

 * There is a new feature Genealogy of Truth which gives bonuses to units within a same group. To unlock it you need to max all 7 enlightenment gates for all the units in a group. It can be leveled up using unit shards for the units in the group and additional resources. List of genealogy of truth available in Japan here. (Added January 28, 2021 in Japan)

Enlightenment

 * Gate of Pride (enlightenment gate 7) added, which costs 200 shards to max in addition to other materials. The gate unlocks a new feature Enlightened Spirit Gear when maxed, which gives bonus stats and can be strengthened using additional resources. (Added January 28, 2021 in Japan)
