Too Cool for Internet Explorer

Even though there are only four new screens of Namco Bandai’s Fragile ~ Farewell Moon Ruins, their beauty warrants an update. Besides, we can’t have been the only ones who thought of Yorda, of Ico fame, when we first clapped eyes on the slight, barefooted girl above (also seen here). We currently know nothing about this waifish character, though some Ico-style hand-in-hand gameplay wouldn’t go amiss; Fragile’s post-apocalyptic wasteland certainly seems like the ideal location for a bit of cooperation!

Fragile: Namco Bandai’s ‘ruin exploration RPG’

November 16th, 2007 by JC Fletcher

Filed under: ,


Namco Bandai has announced a new Wii RPG, called Fragile ~ Farewell Moon Ruins, and there's not really that much information about it other than the name. It's being called a "ruin exploration RPG," which certainly fits with the teaser image on the website (seen above).

The website will open on the 26th and will hopefully contain more information about the game, including minor details like what it's about, who's making it and what you do. But if it's really some kind of RPG set in the ruins of the modern world (and it's not a card game or something), we are already on board. Really, if it's some kind of RPG on the Wii, we're on board.

First Fragile trailer and gameplay details leave us wanting more

Since it first emerged earlier this month, Namco Bandai's Fragile ~ Farewell Moon Ruins has been a mystery wrapped in an enigma. Slowly but surely though, more on the tri-Crescendo-developed "ruin exploration RPG" is being revealed, and the past weekend saw a flurry of new media (such as the trailer above from the official site), all of which points to an RPG rich on atmosphere and suspense.

Famitsu also had a few tidbits of gameplay information. Apparently, protagonist Seto will be equipped with a flashlight, which players will be able to control by pointing the Wii Remote at the screen. A metal detector will also be available (again, this will be controlled using the Wiimote), as well as "other tools." There is also talk of demons appearing during combat, though sadly a rather impenetrable translation prevented us from learning more. Nevertheless, you can color us intrigued.

Head past the post break for a selection of screens, as taken from last week's magazine scans.
