What happened to my beta progress?

The exception is the Bonded Promise event: beta players could preserve one Aniimo, sealed, and reclaim it after launch once they unlock the corresponding Aniimo form in the live game. One creature survives; the rest does not.

Extra Facts

What Players Should Do

1. If the beta window has closed, do not assume that was the last chance — the store page has carried multiple test announcements.
2. Read store-page announcements carefully — some test recruitment notes are published in Chinese.
