Introduction
8/11 Edit: Map 4 Guide completed.
7/6/2021 Edit: Updated for Rerun
9/6/2022 Edit: Updated for Rererun
GFL's Summer 2020 Event "Far Side of the Sea" and its 2021 Rerun and its 2022 Rererun features four full stages, returning to the pattern of the preceding Halloween and Christmas Events. However, this event was the first appearance of a number of new enemies on GFL's Global server, and thus includes a number of the more advanced KCCO enemies from Shattered Connection and Polarized Light.
Check out the official PV below!
Far Side of the Sea Rerun continues to brings back the T-Doll Rescue Welfare system that has been around since the White Day Event to somewhat ease the pressure of farming for Dolls and providing a bit of extra incentive to do your daily runs.
While farming enemies and S-ranking stages can drop limited T-Dolls as usual, each battle or S-rank clear in the event will award either a Nova Medal or Platinum Medal.
As is the case with previous seasonal events, the enemies changed into seasonal outfits - this time, hilariously enough, the KCCO military units.
Hydras have donned shells and transformed into very large Crabs, Dactyls have become small skittering ones, and two of the new enemies, the Recce Center and the Pathfinder has also put on new summer-themed skins, becoming a Beach Hut and Watermelons respectively. Click the tabs below for an overview of new enemies.

Yes, that's just an animated watermelon.
As you probably noticed, there are some new enemy names in that list: Far Side of the Sea introduces a bunch of new enemies from the Shattered Connexion event.
For a quick primer on these enemies consult this document created by Sleeper#2646 with input from Ceia.
Event Stages & Clear Guides
This event can be easily completed by all Commanders within its duration. The stages start off very easy, scaling up to eventually offer a decent challenge by the final map. A new Commander who takes advantage of the New Player Career Quest Rewards will have no trouble clearing the entire event before it ends.

Farming Guides
As usual, an All-In-One Farming Guide is available for EN commanders.
All farming routes will be viable without the use of fairies, though fairy usage may lower the requirements for some maps significantly, so feel free to experiment and see what works for you. If you want to known which of these four Dolls are worth grabbing, consult the Should You farm as well.
Daily Azure Conch Farm
For those looking to farm their daily 120 Azure Conches, simply follow the clear guide for Stage 2: Wheel of Fortune. This map can be cleared via planning mode if you are not worried about limiting your battles. Stage 1 is also an option, though it requires manually ending the map.
