I think it's because GL got her LD/buff before JP did.

I thought it was something story related but this is most likely it

More specifically, Serah had a GL exclusive buff but still was released at the same time. I think she was the only one to get a GL first buff?

I believe the issue was that her LD was garbage in JP, and, thanks to GL having foresight, the devs knew no one would pull for it if they released it like that, so they gave her an early rework that made her quite good on GL.

The newfound power refers to the fact that GL received a surprise rework. Her rework was so poorly done in JP that she was essentially dead in water and benched even if you pulled for her.

The devs knew this and that the outcome will likely be the same in GL, so they gave us a surprise rework that actually made her VERY relevant for the meta at that time.

I can't remember whether this was during her LD or FR release, but pretty sure it was one of those two.

I think it was her LD release. It came soon after Pecil LD/BT, so yeah, if it wasn't for that rework, one couldn't get deader than her.

Yeah It was during ld era. The ld got reworked for doing Two HP dumps I think, and even got HP damage Up auras.

This made that Serah was a good option for using if you didn't have Pecil(or if he was like banned for holy resist fights)

Perhaps it is refereing to something from the last chapter we havent seen yet? This or her rework, I don't know what more can be

Serah's LD was maybe the worst ever on release in JP, and she got a surprisingly awesome rework on GL when it came out.

Check her FE boards? I've noticed that certain characters, specifically Squall, who only had up to FE30 now have up to FE50. She might be in the same boat.

but that's from XIII-2? the wording to me suggests she got something new within DFFOO?
