THIS GAME COMES OUT MARCH 16, MARK YOUR DAMN CALENDARS!! Because we know this game won't be advertised worth a crap. :/

Xseed has sweetened the pot for those looking to pick up a copy of its upcoming adventure, Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon. The publisher has revealed that it will reward gamers who preorder the game with a soundtrack CD.

Called Moonlight Tracks, this preorder bonus is a selection of twelve tracks from the Wii game, including the opening and ending Japanese theme songs. Moonlight Tracks is a preorder bonus that will only be available at GameStop and EB Games.

The company also revealed that the box art for Fragile Dreams will have the US artwork on one side, and the Japanese art on the other.

Fragile Dreams will hit North American shelves in March.

Pre-order bonus CD:

Shitty

Spoiler

or decent

American boxart:

Lovely Japanese-esque boxart:

Gamestop nabs another one. This one is good. For a refresher, here's the opening theme (Hikari) and ending theme (Tsuki no Nukumori), both by Aoi Teshima.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Here ya go:



/\ Click for full-size.

Actual reversible cover:

 

[AceBandage]

That's sexy.
I'll pre-order next week.

 

[Man God]

Good thing there are no other games to grab the Japanophile audience that month... :lol

 

[dragonlife]

Shitty American box art? Get off your high horse.

Spoiler

I like both a lot

Anyway, I may pick this up since I've been really interested ever since the announcement of the Japanese version.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

At least this dual boxart isn't actively offensive like Sky Crawler's.

...FF13 comes out that month doesn't it.

 

[AceBandage]

Not like Fragile was ever going to compete with FF13 or any other game, really.
Regardless, I'm so getting this game.

Me too, I was trying to do what I though the reaction would be.

It does seem kinda odd that Seto's been Amerikirby'd in the US boxart though. :lol

 

[mAcOdIn]

Yeah, I don't find either box arts offensive to be honest, it's definitely not as big a deal as the difference between Spice and Wolf's Japanese versus American novel cover art, now that was some fucked up American cover art right there. But this? Not so bad.

Anyone know if this game is actually any good though, it's been a year, might be time to see if the old Wii still works.

 

[SolarPowered]

This is really cool of xseed. I've been interested in the game since I first saw it and this soundtrack will probably push me over the edge.

Japan-Gaf basically says that it's a good game with a bad combat system and a good story.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

Aesthetically this game has me intrigued, but is the game actually any good? I have no idea whatsoever what the game plays like.

^^Oh, never mind then.

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

Shitty? There's nothing wrong with the American box art. It's actually pretty good, although the composition on the alternate cover has a better flow.

 

[Man God]

...

Pokemon HG/SS as well. :lol

 

[Volcynika]

Pokemon HG/SS as well. :lol

And SMT: Strange Journey!

 

[Krauser Kat]

alright NeoGaf Sell me on this game, i just watch tgs08 trailer. What the hell is going on.

 

[dragonlife]

And SMT: Strange Journey!

Fuuuuck.

I did not know that...

I'm gonna be so broke ;_;

 

[AceBandage]

alright NeoGaf Sell me on this game, i just watch tgs08 trailer. What the hell is going on.

You plays a boy who survives the end of the world and you search the ruins of Tokyo in search of other people, aided (or hindered) by ghosts.

 

[Man God]

And SMT: Strange Journey!

and Infinite Space!

 

[Volcynika]

and Infinite Space!

OH GOD MARCH

 

[SolarPowered]

Pokemon HG/SS as well. :lol

:|

 

[ShockingAlberto]

March is kind of a retarded month for the game, yes.

February would have been perfect.

 

[victreeb3l]

Ugh, what's with her hand in that first pic? Crappy anatomy really bugs the hell outta me.

 

[Man God]

Still, this will be a great game to pick up in the summer some time when it is an Amazon Gold Box deal for $15, much like Rune Factory Frontier did last year.

Rune Factory Frontier actually turned out to be 50% off for an Amazon DotD barely a month after release.

....just sayin.

 

[VegaShinra]

The ending theme almost sounded like Aeris' theme at the start.

It was something like that. I might have been exaggerating the exact savings, but not the message.

I would have bought this day one if it was RGC2... But it's not! :lol

 

[Big B]

Character designs are respectably anime. Great atmosphere.

the mood of this game looks to be really somber and silent. Meaning it won't sell well, especially in march. >_>

 

[TunaLover]

At least this dual boxart isn't actively offensive like Sky Crawler's.

Uh?

 

[mAcOdIn]

Japan-Gaf basically says that it's a good game with a bad combat system and a good story.

I can trudge through broken mechanics if the story/game's good so I'll keep an eye out for this as well. Yes, March sucks for RPG/Adventure fans.

 

[Drkirby]

The game has an ad in latest Nintendo Power, so thats more then some of there stuff. Though I wish it said the date it came out.

Wait, this is just "announced"? It said that it came with the CD in ad in Nintendo Power, and it implied you get the CD if you preorder anywhere, since it didn't name a single company, and listed several, like gamestop and game crazy.

 

[Tenbatsu]

That NA boxart is pretty!

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Pokemon HG/SS as well. :lol

I got half that paid off already (first game I ever pre-ordered, I'm getting addicted ) with the other half lined up. I think I should be able to squeeze enough for Fragile, but MH3 comes out too I think.

Stealth edit- No MH3 just barely makes April. Thank God. :lol

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Edit: Double post.

 

[MidnightScott]

I need to preorder it, I'm buying it two days after Pokémon after all. Guess I'll go preorder once the next Pokémon event is out.

In March I'm buying...

Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver (I always buy both)
Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon
Yakuza 3

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Uh?

I mean this one, not the reversible other side

It screams shovelware and probably turned more people off than sold copies.

 

[Princess Skittles]

Shitty American box art? Get off your high horse.

.

 

[Bel Marduk]

Game will be awesome. Won't get it in March though.

 

[-PXG-]

Damn you March!

 

[TunaLover]

I mean this one, not the reversible other side

Ah, I though you refer to the other side, well yeah that was a strange (dumb) move. Even I think more niche customers were well aware of the product, so they throw the bait trying to pick some mainstream gamers. I think that was the logic.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

.

I like the boxart jeez. >_> It was a joke.

 

[Azure Phoenix]

Anyone know if Gamestop and EB Games offer international shipping? I really want that CD and reversable cover but Rising Star aren't doing anything extra for the UK release.

 

[Gravijah]

Damn I need a fucking Wii. What kind of Nintendo fanboy am I without a Wii?

 

[Oxx]

I'm guessing Rising Star won't be offering us Euros anything special.

 

[Shiggy]

I'm guessing Rising Star won't be offering us Euros anything special.

We only get this boxart and no pre-order bonus. However, it will be released for only 39.99 €, in the US it is a full-price title.

 

[selig]

whoever doesnt buy this game should be junior´d :/

 

[Chromax]

Will buy! Been interested in this since that first scan.

 

[Drkirby]

We only get this boxart and no pre-order bonus. However, it will be released for only 39.99 €, in the US it is a full-price title.

But €39.99 is $54. Its still cheaper here, 'full price' or not.

Doing a direct comparison would only show that we always have to pay more because of the weak dollar.
