The event from Tokyo Game Show has started, albeit with a few slight modifications.
It is on until 17:00 on Nov 12th (JST), so about one week.
There actually aren't that many things to do, but you can get some nice rewards so it is probably worth your time.
Apart from the various story snippets, you can get the 2 new characters, event co-op quest, event multi-battle, answer quiz for titles(gems), watch the cinematics from TGS, and play bingo for a small chance to win a special reward.
①Firstly, there are 2 SR characters up for grabs - Pengu and Seilan
To get Pengu (water), you have to submit a Haiku.
I haven't tried writing in English, but pretty sure you have to write it in Japanese (hiragana, katakana, kanji etc).
5 syllables
7 syllables
5 syllables
doesn't matter what you write, but if you're stuck feel free to just copy/past the (rather lame) text below
シェロさん
しまもっている
すごいだね
[Siero]
[has an island]
[wow]
Getting Seilan(light) is only slightly more complicated.
You have to play through the event co-op and complete mission VI (part 2-1).
See below for more details.
②Event Co-op quest
The main thing to do for this event is the Co-op quest.
It runs pretty much the same as regular co-op, just you access it from the event page.
The only real difference is the rewards - instead of drops, you get gacha tokens for each battle.
You also get special equipment for finishing some stages - 3* SSR light staff from stage 1, the SR character Seilan from battle 6 (stage 2-1).
There are 3 stages. The first 2 are relatively simple and have 5 battles each.
The 3rd stage - Ex, is a hellova lot more difficult, and has 6 quests.
Ex I - Fujin and Raijin (wind and light)
Not overly difficult, but make sure everyone focuses on killing the same boss
Ex II - Mithra (wind)
Pretty much the same as solo quest. it restores full HP after dropping below 50% so save your ougi etc till after that.
Ex III - Katsuo-nusu (water x3)
3 fish from the recent summer event. Use same tactic as Ex 1 - focus on the same boss
Ex IV - Medusa (earth x2)
Multi-target boss. Target the upper enemy [クリュサオル] first.
Bit tougher than previous ones.
Ex V - Poseidon (water)
A lot tougher than previous ones, but relatively simple fight.
Try to bring damage prevention (Sara / water carbuncle).
Ex VI - Proto-Bahamut (dark)
Seriously... screw this guy!
Reduced HP but basically the same as the multi-battle.
30min time limit is the most difficult obstacle to overcome.
Sort out what jobs your team members will have before-hand if possible.
Even with the top members of my guild (Lvl 120ish/Lucifer/full SSRs), we only just managed to beat it with less than 2 min remaining.
Here are the jobs we used:
Dark Fencer, Holy Saber, Bishop, Superstar
umm... good luck?
The event gacha itself contains quite a few nice items, including SSR sword(dark), legend gacha tickets, SR evolution materials, silver/gold certificates, magna anima, and very little in the way of useless crap.
I actually recommend completely emptying the 1st box before moving resetting.
The best place to farm tokens is probably Ex I.
③Event Multi-battle
You battle against some thing called "The World" with over a thousand other players.
During the event you can take part in up to 4 battles, and if you manage to defeat it, you get the SSR summon.
The system is a little different from normal.
First you apply to join the next battle, and then the participants are chosen at random before the battles starts.
Eg: Application time: 13:00 ~ 13:50
Battle Time 14:00 ~ 15:00
It is dark element, and most debuffs don't carry across to other players.
I haven't actually taken part yet, so free to add any advice you may have below
*Bonus - you can check out the awesome background music from the multi-battle here:

④The mystery of GRANBLUE FANTASY (Quiz)
10 different categories, each with a varying amount of questions.
Clearing each category gives you a title, and you get a bonus title for clearing them all.
The questions themselves are multiple choice, so just keep trying till you get the correct answer ^^
The categories are as follows:
Characters
Silhouettes
Weapons
Story
Events
Abilities
Jobs
Quests
Titles
Ships
⑤Cinematic
To two cinematics from TGS have been uploaded to Cygames official youtube channel.
Theater Movie (Bahamut battling an unknown enemy)

Grancypher Movie (As though you were on board the ship)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmOAA063m40
Also remember you can turn the camera (so to speak) with the arrow button thingy in the top left corner of the screen
⑥Bingo
You can play bingo as normal through the Casino, but if you happen to get a "Super Bingo" (all numbers the correct colour) then you get a special "taisetuna mono" - Vee as a stuffed animal. Not sure of it's affect, but if you like collectibles it is something to aim for.
(also available through multi-battle)

I think that is about all for now.
