Namco Working on a Wii RPG, Fragile

[JoshuaJSlone]

Are those screens in a strange aspect ratio? Doesn't quite look 4:3

500x350, which makes it 1.43:1 rather than 1.33:1 of 4:3.

[PepsimanVsJoe]

This looks interesting.
I will probably buy this with my money.

No, no. Let me buy it for you.

Maybe they're cropped to hide the HUD.

[relaxor]

Wow, this is really nice looking, cool!
+1 for a rental at least.

So there's an event for it tonight/tomorrow in Japan, right?

[doomed1]

say, any of the Japanese GAFers out there know what happened at that Fragile event? should be something in the Japanese bloggosphere...

I've been wondering this myself.

I thought we would hear something about that, guess we'll just have to wait until 26th.

There was an event yesterday, but it's just part of a Tales Of event. They showed a short teaser video, and the producer talked about the game a little. He said that although the game might look like a horror game at the moment, the game is really more of a human drama story. There will be various short stories and sketch arts on walls and stuff throughout the game hinting at the world before, and there will be a contest in three of Mediawork's magazines where readers can submit their own short stories and sketches, two of which will be picked to be implemented into the game. Doesn't seem like the event was too interesting.

This game sounds hot.

Sounds cool... and nice contest :) ...
Any new info about the Tales of games?

[HAL_Laboratory]

Wow, I came in and had no idea screens had been released. Looking fantastic!

[franzSD]

So they're not calling it an rpg anymore?

[fresquito]

Okay, so GH has taken over my life. It's official. I'm sucked into this game.

I love it so much >_<

Thats how I felt too until weekends were over :(

[Enduin]

I am extremely intrigued by this game. I really dig the art style and premise, it all kind of reminds me of Hayao Miyazaki's works. Hope we get a good deal of info and images, maybe even a trailer, tomorrow when the site opens.

On the website it always was and still is called "廃墟探索ＲＰＧ" ("ruins exploration RPG" I guess) right before the game title.

Edit: Only Dengeki Online seems to have an article on said event.

The short stories part sounds really interesting, like a good excuse to add more environments and gameplay mechanics while maintaining consistency.

dude, i love this sort of children of men vibe thats going on with the game. can't wait to see the full site today or tomorrow

[ethelred]

The Fragile site has been updated.

There's still not really much there, but it has a song playing now which is actually really beautiful. It's definitely not Sakuraba (thankfully!). It sounds like Masako Oogami to me -- she did some really nice piano stuff for Seven/Venus & Braves, too.

EDIT: Actually, I'm wrong about there not being a lot there! Here's a short trailer: mms://wmt9-od.stream.ne.jp/vod11/bngi/fragile_trailer_web.wmv

[Wyndstryker]

i really like that song on the site...

[Ydahs]

I'm really digging the art style of the game. The trailer looks great, but the music is so damn awesome!

Looks awesome, trailer was short but worthwhile. The music was absolutely fantastic, I am definitely looking forward to this game.

Okay, okay, fine.

[Saitou]

Yeah, so, I'm buying this game as long as that song is in it.
