The renowned Japanese gaming company, Square Enix, has embarked on an incredible journey by initiating the auction for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) of characters in its highly anticipated game, Symbiogenesis. Excitement is building as the game is set to launch on December 21, and players are already gearing up for the unique opportunities that holding these NFT characters will bring.
Enhancing the Gaming Experience
According to the creators of the beloved Final Fantasy series, users who possess the NFT characters will receive an additional 400 experience points (EXP) as part of their daily rewards. This remarkable feature motivates players to hold onto their NFTs and make sure they have their MetaMask wallet and Discord account prepared before diving into the game.
An Auction in Three Phases
As the countdown to the Ethereum and Polygon NFT game launch continues, Square Enix has divulged the details of the upcoming auction. The auction will be divided into three phases, each offering unique opportunities to acquire these limited edition NFT characters.
- The first phase, called “Stakeholder Mint,” will take place from November 27 to November 28.
- The second phase, titled “Priority Mint,” is scheduled for November 30 to December 1.
- The third phase, known as “AL Mint,” will follow on December 2, lasting 24 hours.
During each phase, a specific number of characters will be made available for auction. The first phase offers ten characters, the second phase provides 90 characters, and the third phase presents a whopping 400 characters for bid.
It is important to note that in Phases 1 and 2, users may only bid on one character, but there are no restrictions in Phase 3, allowing for more bidding opportunities.
“Square Enix will launch only 500 NFTs for Chapter 1 of the game.”
Exclusive Perks for Bidders
To make the auction experience even more enticing, Square Enix has revealed additional perks for those participating in the bidding process.
During the Allow List Entry Campaign, users had to secure a spot in the allow list to mint NFT characters in any of the phases. Additionally, the Phase 2 Priority Mint offers a chance to obtain characters for free, but ranking highest in the Campaign is necessary to seize this opportunity.
It is crucial to emphasize that the auction is solely open to those who were selected for the Allow List during the Allow List Entry Campaign.
For Phases 1 and 2, bidders who are outbid and fall below second place will have the option to bid on a different character. Furthermore, participants in Phase 2 will be eligible to participate in Phase 3, where they have the freedom to bid on multiple characters.
“Bidding can be made in 0.01 ETH increments.”
The mint price for all phases starts at 0 ETH, with bidding allowed in increments of 0.01 ETH. It’s important to keep in mind that each bid incurs gas fees. In the event that other bidders are in contention, an English Auction will take place, adding an extra layer of excitement to the process.
If a bid is placed within the final 5 minutes of a phase, the minting period for that particular character will be extended by an additional 5 minutes to ensure a fair and transparent final bidding process, minimizing confusion caused by last-minute bids.
Winners of the auction must claim their NFT Characters by December 6. Please note that the responsibility of the gas fee for each claim lies with the user.
What’s more, participants who retain their NFT Characters and log into the game with the same wallet by December 28 will receive an additional 5 Replica Issue Points on December 29, further enhancing their gaming experience.
As the excitement mounts, it is clear that Square Enix is revolutionizing the gaming industry with the introduction of NFTs in Symbiogenesis. Players have a unique opportunity to not only immerse themselves in this captivating game but also become part of a groundbreaking era in gaming.
