NEW TRAILER GUYS: -

Hey guys, I've noticed lately, when I made my first Fragile thread here, that not a lot of people know about it. Hence, I decided to make this thread so that everyone can share in my anticipation of this game. With a dearth of good Wii titles, i think we might just get an excellent RPG in Fragile.

Release Dates:

• JP: TBA 2008
• NA: TBA
• EU: TBA

Platform: Wii exclusive

Genre: Action RPG

Developers: tri -Crescendo, the same game developers behind Eternal Sonata, Baten Kaitos series, Valkyrie Profile series, Star Ocean : The Blue Sphere, and Star Ocean: Till the end of Time. You can see that they have a good grounding in RPGs. The game is being published by Namco-Bandai.

Working Boxart:

Story: Very little is known about the story thus far. But here is what I could find so far.

Fragile is set in a post-apocalyptic near future world that has lost its light and is covered in a dense fog. Almost all the world's population has vanished, and the cities have been left abandoned. The game places the player in the shoes of Seto, a young boy.

Seto wanders the world, searching for survivors and the answers behind the disappearance of everyone else. Seto also searches for a mysterious girl named "Heroine". However in his quest he must deal with ghosts and demons that lurk within the ruins of the abandoned cities.

Characters:

Seto: The main character, who's story you will dwelve deeply, is named Seto. He will be at the story's centre, and will search around a un-inhabited planet searching for life.

Ren:A mysterious girl whom seto is on a journey to find. The rest, remains a mystery.




Sai:Another femal character that meets Seto.




Kuro: A boy, much like Seto, searching through the world alone.

Setting/Enviornments:

We know that we will be able to go to different locations that offer very different settings. One is a hotel, in the midst of day, where we will be able to gaze upon the beautiful scenery whilst searching; the other, an underground, where almost no light exists except that from your torch. No other Environments have been shown thus far.

The world of Fragile will be filled with objects, wall sketches and short stories for the player to examine and read. Each artifact holds the memories of its former owner, and offers back story and hints to the player.

Gameplay:

The Wii Remote is used as an aid in exploration. Seto has access to a flashlight, controlled by the Wii Remote, to illuminate his surroundings as well to solve puzzles and interact with the environment. The flashlight is also used to uncover hidden enemies and can act as a weapon against them. Seto also has access to a metal detector that the player can use to find various items hidden on the ground, as well as a microphone that picks up sounds through the mini speaker. Hidden enemies can be detected this way by picking up their sounds.

Some of the objects the player finds can be used as weapons. In released screenshots Seto also is seen holding a simple twig, though its use is also currently unknown.

The Moon is thought to play a large role in the game.

Screens: Here are a few screens to show you the atmospheric enviornements that you will visit in the game.

There are many more screens here:

Official Site:

Soundtrack: So far I have only heard one tune, on their official website. But that tune, is so AWESOME, that I can easily say that the game is going to have an excellent soundtrack. To listen to it,go to the official site, linked above, and mess around with the menus, till you find it. Its in japanese, so I cant tell you which ones to click on, but it'll be worth it.

In summation, I think this game will be what Wii owners deserve, and others envy. The marriage of atmospheric enviornements, and calm and unsettling soundtrack is sure to make anyones day.

NOTE: please dont let this thread die, and hopefully you like what I have done.

Special thanks to TwilightMan, for inspiring me to do this, and Wintry_Flutist for asking me to make this.

here are some more screens to satiate your apetite

This better come out in the US or Nintendo will be dead to me. The Wii is in need of some quality RPG's and third party games. This one looks promising.mgfarmer

You mean Namco would be dead to you right?

Anyways, i wouldn't worry about it, it's very likely that it will come.

Nintnedo has a great number of RPGs coming so you have nothing to worry about. 4 already come to mind.

This is one of the games I'm looking most forward to, but judging by the picture's, the game looks very empty. I'm afraid that this game will feel dull, but I hope I'm wrong. The music that's on their website is amazing. Who's the composer for this game by the way?OniStrat

empty as in not many inanimate objects? or empty as in not many people, animals, aliens etc?...cos the story is abt a boy trying to find out where everyone disappeared.etc..so i think its intentionally empty...i havent posted pics of ghosts etc...so if thats what you were talking abt, then dont worry, ther will be things to fill out the enviornements

Well, it is empty, and that's exactly what the boy is trying to solve!

@ the guy asking abt the comoposer

I cant seem to find out who he is, if i ever find out ill update this page.....

Judging from the pics it could use a bit more polish but I am definitely more interested in this game now. Thanks for the info.

i think his game can use a slight bump in visuals...Ironre5

I personally think this game looks fine for the wii so far. But better graphics never hurt as long as they accompany good gameplay.

Theyve nailed the art in this game....i think a few more textures, and cleaner ones would be a nice addition..

The visuals look great to me. The first picture of the hotel room shows a sharp attention to detail. You can tell that in motion, the curtains will be blowing in the wind. The lampshades are a little crooked, the wallpaper is peeling, each window is individually textured to look weathered differently. All good signs in my book.

Um...those screenshots look unbelievable...

wow

This thread looks very similar to another thread I've seen elsewhere...

Anyway, I've been anticipating this game since it was first announced last November. I absolutely cannot wait.

nintendofreak_2

its basically the same layout as that thread...tho i got my info from wikipedia, and other sources from the web..if you see the last paragraph of my Op, youll see i thanked a guy named twilightman...hes basicaly the creator of the GT thread..

わあああ!!! That girl, Chiyo, in the hotel is awesome, and she has such a cute voice (heh, not that I understood much of what she said). Her story sounds so tragic too, new 古手梨花, I think. This game looks so great, I wish the Wii wasn't region-locked so I could get it faster. But, anyway, thanks for the thread.

I kinda want them to keep the signs in Japanese...

For some reason this seems a little like Luigi's MansionPhazonBlazer

lolz how so?

Wow, that music, heart warming. I got chill just listening to itvnc20100

yup this is probably one of my most anticipated RPG;s for next year...or maybe this year...hopefully this year

half the ppl dont even know this game exists...and imade this thread a month ago...and ppl still dont know....Ironre5

Well, that sucks. As of now, Fragile looks like one of the most promising upcoming Wii titles, if not the most promising.

half the ppl dont even know this game exists...and imade this thread a month ago...and ppl still dont know....Ironre5

We have to keep this thread alive. And fill it with posts so it looks like the HOTTEST topic.
