Reverse: 1999 remains to be one of the more popular turn-based RPGs to release in 2023, boasting lucrative animated characters to collect and use in tactical battles. The game derives entertainment from releasing new events to keep the players engaged. One such brand-new event, titled as “Floor It! To the Golden City” has just released and intrigued players with multiple stages to go through and different rewards to collect. This guide will help players clear the event in the given time and help you get access to the much-desirable rewards included.  

Event Overview

The Floor It! To the Golden City Event can already be seen live in-game as it started on 31st October, 2024 and ends on 3rd December, 2024. The premise of the event story is as follows – “The Timekeeper and her team of Arcanists have completed their trek through Vienna and the Golden Isle of Apeiron, and they now face San Francisco in 1990! New and familiar faces will appear, including everyone’s favourite SPDM genius monitor assistant, Matilda Bouanich. The primary storyline will introduce players to two new characters: rugged biker J and enchanting Mercuria, who will both have debut banners and character stories throughout the update.”

The event consists of a total of 22 stages, out of which some are story oriented and some are battle oriented. In the former stages, players can clear it by simply viewing the storyline. Do not worry, as skipping it will still count as a clear. In the battle stages, players need to defeat the specified group of enemies in the given number of turns. Failure to do so will result in a loss. Being successful will grant you resources like Clear Drops, and the event currency Spiritual Crystal Cluster. Players can then exchange the event currency in the event shop for even more lucrative items. 

A host of new characters were also released with the event update:

• Mercuria

• J
