Well, the last month of 2020 has finally passed us by. Here at FFXV: ANE Hub, we look ahead to a hopefully better 2021 (or just not a dumpster fire would be great). Before we move on, however, let’s take a look back at the final month of 2020 and see what was new in Final Fantasy during the month of December. Also included in this Recap is an overall recap of 2020 for the most common releases.
Releases
Cor 200
Cor can now be leveled to 200. Read about his current benefits here, or take a look at his original levels if you’re in a newer Server.
Exalted Crimson Gear Set
This new set has the biggest benefits for Juggernauts, Earth Troops, and Warrior Core Troops. Leveling up/Upgrading/Powering Up the set requires Exalted Crimson materials (of course).
Dark Monster Troops Level 4
New Level 4 Dark Monster Troops are 10x more powerful than Level 3. Their Troop Promotion requires a 5:1 ratio, and they require Royal Dark Monster Eggs to train.
Dark Citadel 320
The maximum Citadel Level is now 320. There was a Catch-up pack at the end of the month/early 2020 to get an instant C310.
Kingsglaive Gladio
The bet-makers were right with the introduction of Kingsglaive Gladio. This Hero could be unlocked through an event! The event lasted almost two weeks and was simple enough that all active players should have been able to easily obtain him for free.
Dark VIP 350
The maximum VIP Level is now 350. We will have an article forthcoming but learn about the prior VIP maximum levels in Royal Dark VIP.
Monster Executioner Set
We got a new Monster Killing Set this month! Learn all about the new Set and if it’s better than the old ones in Monster Executioner Gear Set.
Level 19 Dark Mercenaries
T19 Mercs are here, and they are 250% stronger than T18 Mercenary Troops. Unlike the new Monster Troops, these only require a 2:1 Troop Promotion ratio. In order to train these, you must use T6 Dark Mercenary Armaments.
Over the Year
Just for fun, let’s summarize some of the most popular releases of 2020 and when they were released! If you want to learn more about a specific release, every Recap from 2020 is linked at the end of the list. Note that this is not an exhaustive list of all the releases.
