Delving into the labyrinthine depths of the game's documentation, we unearth intriguing details about the initial phase, which seems to be an exclusive rendezvous for discerning "stakeholders." This phase, adorned with facet and mesh characters, creates an ephemeral ambiance, suggesting that only those who've embarked on the journey of early investment will be privy to the Nov. 27–28 spectacle. In an artful progression, the subsequent phases gracefully open their doors to participants through an entrancing "allowlist entry campaign," woven intricately into the narrative laid out in the documents.

Embarking on the fantastical journey of the allowlist entry campaign, the game's team orchestrated a captivating odyssey from November 7 to 21. Enigmatic collectors were beckoned to immerse themselves in a realm of quizzes and embark on a whimsical "treasure hunt" within the prototype version of the Symbiogenesis game world.

Participants, like treasure hunters of yore, were duly rewarded with NFT "relics," each contributing to an elaborate scoring system that unlocks the gates to the coveted phase 2. The top 50 virtuosos, alongside 40 serendipitous wanderers ranked 51st to 300th, are destined to ascend to the echelons of phase 2, acquiring the elusive NFTs. Meanwhile, the rest of the participants, akin to eager bidders at a grand auction, shall find their moment of glory in the mesmerizing tapestry of phase 3.

Square Enix, the maestro behind this digital symphony, eloquently describes Symbiogenesis as a "narrative-unlocked NFT entertainment" game, a tapestry woven with threads of storytelling seamlessly entwined with the allure of NFTs. Mark your calendars, for the grand unveiling of Symbiogenesis is set for December 21, promising an immersive experience like never before.

In a fascinating footnote, Square Enix, the visionary creators of the iconic Final Fantasy series boasting a staggering 173 million units sold, had previously enchanted enthusiasts with Final Fantasy NFT trading cards on March 31. A subsequent chapter in their odyssey unfolded in April when the company announced a partnership with the enigmatic Web3 infrastructure provider, Elixir. Yet, the finer details of this partnership remain shrouded in the mystique that often accompanies such groundbreaking collaborations.
