<duckroll> Ruin Exploration RPG
<duckroll> ~Farewell Moon Ruins~

And there you have it.

Discuss.

I seriously hope for an awesome art style. Online co op would be nice for a dungeon crawler.

SuomiDude · (11-16-2007, 06:07 AM)

Nice art on the page. Kinda like steam punk or whatever. Hopefully this'll be a serious RPG, not just some quick rushjob. Wii really needs more RPGs.

Odrion · (11-16-2007, 06:09 AM)

I wonder if this RPG will be just like you imagined. Or maybe underneath it all, it'll really end up being somewhat damaged.

Link Man · (11-16-2007, 06:09 AM)

You mean to say that they're working on another Wii RPG, right?

Darkman M · (11-16-2007, 06:11 AM)

Any half way decent current jrpg is good news to me, pickings have been pretty slim this gen so far.

No. I meant to say what I said: Namco is working on a Wii RPG, Fragile.

K?

There's nothing untraditional about dungeon exploration RPGs. I'd say games like Shining in the Darkness, Etrian Odyssey, and the like are pretty traditional.

That art at the website seems pretty decent.

Jonnyram · (11-16-2007, 06:17 AM)

Any of the ex-Xenosaga team working on this perhaps? I doubt they all moved to Nintendo.

Maybe Fragile is by the Venus & Braves team? :O :O :O

Oh, 'cause it sounded like you were insinuating that this is their first announced Wii RPG project.

Lobster · (11-16-2007, 06:31 AM)

Namco..Wii..good support.

Wow!

Looks like a pretty mysterious RPG.

Ark-AMN · (11-16-2007, 06:33 AM)

Hopefully it'll have some multiplayer. We're in this together now.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this make the third RPG Namco's doing for Wii? (Tales, unannounced RPG, and now this? Or is this the unannounced RPG?)

I'd guess this is the unannounced RPG since its already ready to be shown.

Nice. :)

This is quite disappointing...
Unannounced RPG is a far better title than Fragile.

I don't see anything wrong with the name Fragile. I quite like it, actually. Simple, evocative one-word names can be very elegant.

Speevy · (11-16-2007, 07:04 AM)

Tales of Fragile: Handle with C.A.R.E.

kenji · (11-16-2007, 07:38 AM)

Team woking on it?

Linkup · (11-16-2007, 07:40 AM)

Birds searing in the distance, clouds rolling slowly through the air, three eyed heads of robots stuck on signs, stars sparkling every now and then, a train station from the near future and a flicking logo.

I give the website 9/10, I'm interested.

edit: nvm this is bamco

I straight up hope it isn't a dungeon crawler.

ZealousD · (11-16-2007, 07:49 AM)

This game doesn't look cutesy, family friendly, or like a mini-game collection.

I'm not quite sure I understand.

temp · (11-16-2007, 07:51 AM)

I'm sort of surprised someone else that thought they were making a Fraggle Rock RPG.

It is a dungeon crawler.

An Italian RPG, sweet!

Shit. I hope atleast they are conceived dungeons, and not that randomized level-grinding crap I've grown to despise.

It is the randomized level-grinding crap you've grown to despise.

doomed1 · (11-16-2007, 08:03 AM)

that website is disgusting in how incredibly psyched it just made me. i really do hope they emphasize atmosphere, cause this site just reeks of it. i wont even care so much if it's a dungeon crawler, as long as they capitalize on the game's potential

fixed, DC2 was a sin.

vareon · (11-16-2007, 08:18 AM)

Cool.

Let's hope it doesn't suck.

Gallagher · (11-16-2007, 08:32 AM)

2 Days after my birthday... this can only be good ^^

titiklabingapat · (11-16-2007, 08:34 AM)

No more steampunk, gosh.

Fortunately, the art doesn't seem to suggest steampunk.

doomed1 · (11-16-2007, 08:35 AM)

say, what was the last completely original RPG developed by N/B??

No, but really we don't know if they're making this internally either, do we? Either way Trusty Bell is Namco's IP, outsourced or not. :P
