[Prelude to Another War] JP Megathread (Dissidia)

Hey guys, just a quick update. I noticed the JP Megathreads had stopped a couple weeks ago and when I asked the mods about it they said someone needed to volunteer to do them...which apparently is me. :D

So...to start off I don't actually play the JP version just try to keep up on them to see what's coming so if I get anything wrong PLEASE feel free to correct me and I'll get it fixed. Also I'm still trying to sort out everything going into these so if there's anything that needs added or removed just let me know and I'll do what I can. Finally since I don't play the JP version and don't really have a way to get the data for these for now I'll be grabbing the Gamefaqs data SolitaireD provides there until I can find a better way to go about it. I'm having trouble finding the names of the events themselves and the names for the SBs (for example new Ultras) or what type of items the new ones are. If you can think of a way for me to get this data for the new stuff (or if you can just send it to me to consolidate into these) it would be greatly appriciated! I think that's it for now so let's get to this! I know this is late and the event might be close to over (or over entrirely) but that's what happens when this get dropped and nobody notices.

The event is a full open event with a Revenge event coming back from the Discord and Harmony (Chaos).

So for this event Terra becomes a wind mage and Lightning and Firion transition into the holy realm. Seems like the trend is giving characters that already excel at one element a second to make them more useful (or broken). Terra gets eveything she needs on B1 to become a top wind mage (UOSB, USB, Flash, and LMRs) and Lightning and Firion both get Ultras and LMRs to help them in their new holy roles. Lightning and Firion also gets Knight 5 access. Banner one is almost all new items with the exception of Y'shtola's stuff and Terra's LMR2 and AASB(which I'm sure people won't mind a second chance at getting).

Banner two is less impressive though it has everything you need to dark Cloud with repeats of some desireable SBs like Squall's fire stuff, Rinoa's Earth stuff, and OK's multiple elemet stuff. Not a bad banner by any means especially since I don't believe OK's stuff has been available since it was released a couple fests ago during Glory Fest (Almost six months?). Overall the banners seem a little random trying to focus on so many characters but there is a lot of good stuff to be had here.

General JP Version Information

Installing and Playing the Japanese version

Why should I play the Japanese version?
FFRK came out in Japan about six months before Global came out. Thus, they're further along in terms of events and so have more characters, more abilities etc. Also, the trend has been that certain crossover events which feature games that were not released outside of Japan have been skipped in Global release, meaning there are currently certain items and abilities that do not appear they will ever be available in Global (it does not appear that they are skipping any characters).

Is there anything that is in Global but not in JP?
The font and minor UI elements are also different in Global compared to JP. Global also has a controversial "MVP Program" where selected players receive items for free; JP has no such program. There are some collaboration items as well as some culture-specific events (such as Black Friday draws) and a shop where you can spend gems for motes/orbs/crystals that appear in Global but not JP.

Great! How do I get the Japanese version?
Check out the wiki article. Android users may also want to check out this tutorial if you do not know how to access the Japanese store and prefer not to use a third-party app like QooApp.

Can I play the JP version and Global version at the same time on the same device?
Yes, the two are completely separate and do not affect each other.

How do I share my save data across devices?
Unlike the Global version which uses one-time codes or goes through your iTunes/Play Store accounts, the JP version syncs through Japan's mobage service. Here's a tutorial from Mobage relayed by /u/gelomeister (Android users can of course use Chrome instead of Safari etc.):
