An update for my question.
Front J cabin is more private due to the staggered layout. Thank gosh I didn't have to book in the mini cabin

Anybody have tips about selecting seats in Y in advance? It looks like I am on a 77A for a flight in November. When I look at the seat selection screen, I can only see seats in the following rows:
49, 55, 56, 57, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69
All of the other rows in Y are greyed out. Could Y really be this full 3 months in advance?
Are there other priority seats for elites besides rows 45 and 60? I'm *A Gold, but not from EVA, so I'm not sure that helps.

Seems to be some incorrect information in post 1 about the 77A. It says there is power at every seat in Y. This is what EVA's website says:
In-seat 110V AC Outlet
With our in-seat power outlets that adapt to all kinds of electrical plugs, business travelers can work efficiently on their laptops throughout the flight. Seats with built-in 110V AC outlets are available in all our Royal Laurel Class, Premium Laurel Class and Elite Class, as well as in the Economy Class of A330-300 aircrafts.
Anybody know the truth? Is there power in Y?

Thanks for the response. Disappointed to hear that the only change is Wifi. I may be a minority but I find the 77A cabin an improvement to the 77N, especially the AVOD. Unfortunately the 77A isn't offered on my flights so I guess I'm stuck with the 77N/M.

It is unrealistic to expect them to re-do the entire Y cabin when the 77Ns are still relatively new.

I agree that's it's unrealistic, I'm just jealous that they're not flying any of the 77A's on my routes and I don't fly RL so those changes matter a little more.

FYI it does look like EVA has started to refurbish the 77N planes with the new cabins and new IFE. My flight had the old 77N layout, at least in J and EY. I didn't get to see Y to see if there were 10 additional seats. The plane had wifi.
