Square Enix, renowned for its iconic "Final Fantasy" series, is venturing into the Web3 gaming realm with its latest project, "Symbiogenesis." The company is set to kick off an NFT auction for the game, introducing a unique blend of traditional gaming and NFT elements, all built on the Ethereum and Polygon blockchain networks.
The NFT auction will unfold in three phases starting from November 27, offering participants distinct opportunities to acquire digital collectibles central to the game's experience. The exclusive sale in the first phase will comprise 10 NFTs for associates, with a one-NFT limit per wallet. The subsequent phases will expand the sale to top-ranking participants from the Allow List Entry Campaign, eventually opening up to all campaign participants.
Eligibility and ranking in these phases are determined by participants' engagement in social media, Discord activities, and possession of SYMBIOGENESIS relics (NFTs), promoting active community involvement. Square Enix's focus on integrating community participation with the NFT auction process is evident, as higher-ranking participants have the chance to receive free character NFTs during specific phases.
Symbiogenesis is positioned as a digital collectible art project that melds traditional gaming with the evolving realm of NFTs. Notably, the game's ending is not predetermined, allowing three players to shape the final outcome based on their in-game achievements. While players can engage with the main storyline without purchasing NFTs, owning an NFT character unlocks additional content and the ability to influence the game's conclusion.
Square Enix adopts a unique approach to NFT releases, unveiling digital assets in limited quantities alongside each new story chapter, progressively unfolding the game world. These NFTs in Symbiogenesis serve multiple purposes, acting as keys to unlocking narrative elements and tradable assets on the blockchain.
Emphasizing the role of its Discord server in fostering community engagement, Square Enix offers exclusive roles and rewards for active participation. The game is divided into six chapters, each featuring missions and quests across various game modes, including daily rewards. NFTs play a crucial role, offering hints, achievements, and convertibility from in-game items, providing players with a dynamic and immersive gaming experience in the evolving landscape of Web3.
