P5X CN/NA Changes
Reminder: 1 platinum ticket (character) = 150 jewels, 1 platinum milicoin (weapon) = 100 jewels
Changes: All levels had their jewels replaced by platinum milicoins. Level 25 has a reduction of 100 jewels, level 35 has a reduction of 200 jewels, level 45 has a reduction of 300 jewels for a cumulative 600 jewels reduction (or 6 weapon pulls). NA is also locked into only weapon pulls as opposed to jewels which are more versatile and can be used for character pulls.

Changes: One gold ticket removed from follow official page event.
Edit: It appears Korean servers gave out 4 gold tickets but CN servers gave out 3 which aligns with NA.

Changes: Cafe Leblanc rewards are all reduced. Each mission gives 40 jewels less and 30 rebel coins less for a grand total reduction of 200 jewels and 150 rebel coins. Keep in mind I couldn’t find info on the rebel coin shop so the rebel coin reduction might not matter if both servers are able to clear the shop.

Changes: Beginner pack outfit swapped to a pink outfit. Brown outfit is available in NA for 600 wingbeat coins.

Changes: Character birthday rewards are changed.
CN servers got: Silver Bangle, MaraThon Energy (Energy Drink), Limited Edition Ball Pen, Robot Vacuum, and Kitchen Goods Set.
NA servers got Silver Bangle, MaraThon Energy (Energy drink), 4x flour, 2x eggs and 2x miso. Of note, NA lost some rather pricy gifts you can give to other characters.
Changes: Palace and mementos exploration rewards changed in NA. In CN server, each level gives out 100 jewels (total 1000 jewels). In NA, each level from 10% - 50% had 30 jewels taken from it while each level from 60% - 100% had 50 jewels added to it (total 1100 jewels). This does work out to a net positive 100 jewels but this also means that most of the jewels are back loaded.

Changes: Synergy rank rewards reshuffled. In CN server, Lufel’s ranks give you 80 jewels. In NA, ranks 1 to 2 give 50 jewels, rank 3 all jewels were removed (loss of 80 jewels), ranks 4 to 5 give 80 jewels, ranks 6 to 8 give 100 jewels and ranks 9 to 10 give 120 jewels. Total jewels don’t change (both give 800 jewels total per synergy).
All non-Lufel synergy’s give 1120 jewels in both NA and CN but early rewards are nerfed in Global in favor of larger rewards in the higher levels.

Changes: Marian’s cognite and weapon was removed from Lufel’s Business Plan 3 and 4. The question of whether or not Marian’s weapon was removed from Business Plan 4 is a little more confusing because some videos show it but others don’t.

Changes: Jewels have been back loaded with rewards from 5 - 20 stars being nerfed to 50 jewels (loss of 50 jewels each level), 25 - 45 stars being nerfed to 80 jewels (loss of 20 jewels per level), 50 - 70 stars being buffed to 120 jewels (gain of 20 jewels per level) and 75 - 90 stars being buffed to 150 jewels (gain of 50 jewels per level). Cumulatively, both CN and NA rewards amount to 1800 jewels although most of NA’s jewels are back loaded into stars 50 - 90.
Enemies have also been buffed to be 5 levels higher and weak to only one element as opposed to two in later stages.
Changes: Bui and Ann both buffed. CN has implemented these buffs in CN’s latest patch although this came shortly after Global’s implementation.

I’d like to thank Bladecifer for documenting his journey with the TW server as it made this a lot easier to verify and check for changes.
