A rough timeline of potential GL schedule, based on past trends.
Post Body

GL has established a fairly set pattern in it's content releases at this point, looking at the last 2-3 months. With that in mind, we can roughly estimate the next few months as well. However, there are a few things to keep in mind.

First, things can change. As we already see coming up at the end of the month, Auron and Garnet had their event positions swapped in the order. Whether this was done to delay certain content (Cloud 35cp), balance around other events at the same time, we can't know. But it's a future possibility at well.

This list was done using JP's ordering as a base, and adjusting it here and there to try and fit the pattern GL has more or less maintained (alternating chapters and LCs, one new and one permanent WoI for summons, etc) but it becomes a bit iffy towards the bottom where I've chosen to stop.

Also, there can and likely will be extra events, some of them even GL exclusive. Whether these are as simple as new weekly banners or an entirely new thing, these are events that can't be planned around since they are fairly in flux to begin with and may not even have happened on JP.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is please don't take any of the following as gospel, because it can and likely will end up incorrect in some fashion. Use it as a rough guide as to when something you're looking forward to might arrive around. Without further ado:


July

  • Chapter 9: Serah, Irvine, Edgar, Pandemona summon

August

  • Character Events: Garnet, Celes, Kain
  • World of Illusion: Brothers
  • Permanent WoI: Odin
  • Lost Chapters: Prishe, Faris, Ramza

September

  • Character Events: Maria, Palom, Kuja
  • Permanent WoI: Leviathan
  • Chapter 10: Raijin, Fujin, Seifer, Bahamut summon

October

  • Character Events: Quistis, Kefka, Lenna
  • World of Illusion: Pandemona
  • Permanent WoI: Alexander
  • Lost Chapters: Ace, Seymour, Sabin

November

  • Character Events: Sephiroth, Cid, Zack
  • World of Illusion: Bahamut
  • Permanent WoI: Brothers
  • Chapter 11: Jecht, Lilisette, Yuri, Diabolos summon

December

  • Character Events: Rydia, Alisae, Noctis
  • Permanent WoI: Pandemona
  • Lost Chapters: Krile, Thancred, Snow

January

  • Character Events: Selphie, Gilgamesh, Relm
  • World of Illusion: Diabolos
  • Permanent WoI: Bahamut
  • Special Chapter: Cait Sith

February (or later)

  • Permanent WoI: Diabolos

From this point forward, it gets a bit murky. JP stopped doing LCs in batches of three starting with Cater, and started doing them individually twice a month. Character events slowed as well, also about two a month. Story chapters in season 2 seem much more sporadic and and with less characters, along with no new summons.

This is about as far as we can predict using the GL pattern, and I already made a few adjustments to skip certain months on WoIs to more closely line up with JP's timings. It's possible they come earlier as well. Past this point, JP slows down a decent amount it seems.

There are additional known events I didn't include: namely, Heretic Quests, Awakenings, and EX weapons. We've already gotten Heretic quests early and it's possible we will continue seeing them early on story chapter months.

As for awakenings and EX, there have been several other more in depth threads about the types of characters who got them. Starting with Garnet, I believe, LC units get theirs along with their lost chapter. Prior units and story ones are awakened in batches otherwise and EX weapons are all over the place with some getting theirs on release.

Anyways, I hope this rough list helps some of you, and I look forward to seeing how it's wrong in the coming months thanks to GL changes. It's possible they try to maintain the pacing even longer in order to start catching up more quickly to JP (at the moment, we only gain about a week every month or so). Continuing with the pattern even longer than the above list would help with that.
