Their inspiration is pretty obvious. The Namazu people are reminiscent of the catfish beast tribe from FFXIV. It has the traditional red Daruma appearance with the character’s face. For FFXIV Limit Break Daruma, its appearance is more refined. All black with gold logo and design.
In each case, the dolls can be used as traditional Darumas. This means that when someone gets one, they can fill in the left eye to grant a wish. Then you wait to fill in the other until it comes true.
This is the second time these have appeared. They originally appeared in FFXIV Airing 14 hours in July 2021. Back then, pre-orders were available until September 2021 for the two designs.
Final Fantasy XIV available for PS4, PS5 and PC. The FFXIV Namazu and Limit Break Daruma will appear on August 27, 2022 in Japan. Pre-orders for them will open at Square Enix Electronics Store from March 18, 2022 to April 1, 2022.
