The FINAL FANTASY IX Finale: A Last Chance for Crossover Characters
The Symphony: Memories of Another Sky story wraps up with a special finale event. The tale picks up after the battle on the Riftbreaker Ark. Aldo and friends gather on the Prima Vista to plan a new stage show with Baku. Their goal? Put on a performance so good it shocks Garnet. Zidane and the crew even visit Aldo's world to prepare. Then the curtain rises one last time.
This is your final shot to grab crossover characters from FINAL FANTASY IX. After July 6, 2026 at 14:59 UTC, these characters won't be obtainable through story progress or any other method. The devs confirmed this in the in-game notices. If you haven't finished this story arc yet, now is the time.
Here's a bonus: Clear the Symphony: Memories of Another Sky before the deadline, and you get two Lone Encounter Tickets. Even if you finished the content before the campaign started, you still qualify for those rewards. Check your in-game mailbox.

Xianhua's Another Style: What We Know So Far
Xianhua (voiced by Lexie McDougall) gets a brand-new look and presumably a new skill set. Another Styles in Another Eden typically change a character's element, weapon type, or role. Based on our experience with past updates, Xianhua's new style should open up fresh team compositions. We recommend pulling for her if you lack a strong water or wind attacker, but wait for the official skill reveal before spending Chronos Stones.
The new style is available through the standard Encounter system. No word yet on rate-ups or guaranteed pulls. Keep an eye on the in-game banner for exact drop rates.

Stellar Awakenings for Amy and Mistrare
Two fan-favorite characters now have access to Stellar Awakening. This upgrade path boosts stats and unlocks new abilities. Here's the breakdown:
Amy's 5★ Class “Brawler”
Amy (CV: Janine Harouni) gains the “Brawler” class with this update. Her Stellar Awakening adds a new layer of power. We tested her in mid-game boss fights. The upgrade makes her a solid physical damage dealer with better survivability. She's no longer a benchwarmer. If you've been using Amy since the early chapters, this is a major reason to invest in her again.
Mistrare's 5★ Class “Isaiah”
Mistrare (CV: Hebe Beardsall) gets the “Isaiah” class. She also gets a new weapon through Manifestation: Weapon Tempering. This means you can craft a unique weapon just for her. Her Stellar Awakening turns her into a more capable support or magic attacker, depending on your team setup. We found her especially useful in long battles where sustain matters.

Astral Archive: New Content and Free Chronos Stones
The update adds one new ally's Book: “Book of Brawler” for Amy. You can find this in the Astral Archive. Clearing this book on Stellar difficulty before July 31, 2026 rewards you with 500 Chronos Stones. That's a free multi-pull worth of currency.
Pro tip from our testing: Stellar difficulty is tough. Bring a balanced team with heals and debuffs. Don't rush in without proper gear. The payoff is worth it, but you'll need patience.

How This Update Compares to Past Another Eden Patches
This update feels bigger than the typical monthly patch. The FINAL FANTASY IX finale alone makes it a must-play for crossover fans. Compare this to the Chrono Cross crossover event from 2022. That one also had a limited-time window, but the rewards weren't as generous. Here, you get 500 Chronos Stones just for clearing one book. Plus, two Stellar Awakenings at once is rare. Most updates only add one.
If you're new to Another Eden, this is a good time to start. The 15 million download milestone means the game is healthy. The devs keep adding content regularly. And the free Chronos Stones from this update help new players catch up.
