First Fragile screenshots, video, and Wii RPG storyline details
Bandai Namco has unveiled the first details of the Wii-exclusive RPG Fragile. Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu reports that the game is being developed by Tri Crescendo (of Baten Kaitos and Eternal Sonata fame). Game design and graphic direction are being handled by the staff that worked on Seven and Venus & Braves, two little known, but highly regarded, PS2 strategy RPGs.
Fragile storyline takes place in the near future, in a world that has lost its population. You play as Seto, a young boy who wanders around, searching through the abandoned cities and facilities of this world, trying to learn the truth behind the disappearance of all the people, and to find someone to keep him company.
The Wii Remote is used as an aid in exploration. Seto uses it as a flashlight to light up his surroundings, and it can also be used as a metal detector he has. In the game Seto has to deal with ghosts/demons who appear in the ruins with a stick of some sort, translates IGN.
A recent event showing a short teaser video of Fragile, had the game’s producer talking. 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. — Additional translation from Japanese by Duckroll.
