Away: Merchandising Opportunity
Away: Shuffle Dungeon isn't all about unreliable dungeon layouts and goggle-eyed protagonists, it would appear. The latest screens reveal magical creatures called Fuppons, little blobby things that follow you around and perform magical attacks. There are four different kinds of Fuppons, each possessing a different ability: Koorins, who produce ice and allow you to destroy barriers made of lava rock; Merameras, who shoot fireballs; Gorogoros, who generate lightning bolts; and the pictured Naooru, who can heal your party.
More importantly, all four are suitable to be made into plush toys, cell phone charms, and figurines. Away is a Hironobu Sakaguchi-produced game, after all. There are screens of the other three Fuppons doing what they do best (as far as we know) at Famitsu!
