New Fragile (Wii) characters and screens!

Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
God, do we have a launch date for this? 
I know it's practically impossible this will come to the Americas this year, but I'd like at this some kind of window for when I can expect this.

Those screens have to be doctored.

There's a catch.
Those screens are too nice, there has to be.

Doctored? Nothing about them indicates such, especially in comparison to the screenshots from Page 5. If anything, the camera angles simply provide either a more cinematic (and inexplicably more pleasing) viewpoint, or better showcase the character detail.
The developers deserve some congratulations - the technical limitations of the Wii have not hindered their style, seemingly well accomplished. The modeling, texture and lighting (just look at some of the confined, indoor shots!) appear really competent, and the game drips with an ambiance both inviting and chilling.
And is that the Eiffel tower in see in one of those screenshots (the fifth one in the most recent batch)?
Also looks like players will switch between the boy and this mysterious girl (a possible motivation behind the refinement of her look). Hopefully the gameplay change, if any exists, won't be too jarring.
And the chicken suit salesman better have a weird accent, like the merchant in RE4. British, perhaps.
Edit: People, it's cel-shaded, not cell-shaded.

Maybe I'm forgetting something, but these new screens really do appear to have a different art-style to the initial screens. It seems a lot more stylized now, through the use of cel-shading.
I like it.

Noticed that too, it appears like it's closer to matching the concept art they first released.

It was a worry before when they didn't have anything to make up for it.BrodiemanTTR said:
I really like the smooth look of the characters. Cartoony and detailed. Can't wait to see it in motion.

Lack of lighting on the characters hurts the impressiveness, imo. Still one of the better looking Wii games announced. (Although competition in that area got pretty stiff recently).
That said, the atmosphere and premise of the game are more than enough to keep Fragile as Day 1 for me.

I haven't been following this too closely, but that's only because I was already sold as soon as I heard the beautiful music for the first time. Now it's just a matter of waiting for a release date in the US. The new screens do not make the wait any easier.

I couldn't find one. This is made by Namco/tri-Crescendo, so if it was made by an obscure developer, then I'd have doubts, but since that's not the case, I'd say there's a good chance.
Then again, there have been many promising jrpgs Namco chose not to release in US, or EU.
i really hope this does make it over. this is my most anticipated Wii game thus far, and i really want to make it over here. if marketed right, i think it could do relatively well. next thing they need to bring over is that Gundam FPS with online added. that would be epic win, since that game looked AWESOME.
but i digress. SO excited. come to me PLEASE.
