Kingsglaive FFXV Event (Nyx TMR Change Info Inaccurate)
The Kingsglaive FFXV event was planned to be released on 25 August, but was cancelled. As you remember from Fan Festa, the event was also announced to be coming soon, but was missing on the video update. It was also planned to be released on 22 September, but was cancelled once again.

Nyx TMR will be changed to copy Hawkeye's, a unit from Seiken Densetsu 3 collaboration event in JP, a dagger with ATK+100, MAG+70, fire element, and LB fill rate+100%. In addition, Nyx will also be able to equip fists. His previous TMR (20% to all stats, auto-regen, auto-refresh) will be added as part of his passive.

Ability Awakening (Confirmed w/ minor exclusions)
Tentative date: 20 October


 * base: Trance Terra, Emperor, Demon Rain, Dracu Lasswell
 * base: Leon, White Witch Fina
 * base: Black Cat Lid, Garland

Note regarding Divine Burst: We have recently discovered how the "in-built killer" effect works, and it's slightly different than what the skill description imply. The wiki description for these type of skills prior to the change was also misleading, which is what the developer is using for the slides.

The description says that you deal damage with a killer. However, the skill itself has no killer effect, instead it deals certain damage ONLY to a certain race, e.g. Divine Burst will deal (2.5x) damage to undead only. What happened if the target isn't the intended race? You will hit them with normal attack modifier (1x) instead, but there is no parameter in the effect to change this modifier. So for the awakening to work, the developer will have to create a new effect that would work as the description originally intended.

Halloween Event (Confirmed w/ minor change to Halloween Hat)
Tentative date: 20 October

Halloween version of Jake, Sakura, and Nichol are planned to be released as the featured summons:
 * Grim Lord Sakura ~
 * Pirate Jake ~
 * Illusionist Nichol ~

The week after, 27 October, a challenge event will be added along with old Halloween units as featured summons:
 * Demon Rain ~
