Today some new info surfaced about Wii’s Fragile: Goodbye Ruins of the Moon. I hope you guys aren’t sick of hearing about this game, because I love learning about it. Every time I do I want to buy a Wii a little more. Anyway here are the new features of the game we now know about:

Personal Flame
Personal Flame

This can actually be translated as either Personal Flame, or Personal Frame. Neither really makes much sense, but flame made me think of a smoke signal, which is used to communicate thereby making more sense at least than frame.

Anyway, the Personal Flame is that metallic backpack on our protagonist Seto. Think of it as a Pokédex for the post-apocalyptic world. Throughout Seto’s travels, the P.F will give Seto advice and analysis of events going on around him.

Unfortunately overtime the sensor on the P.F begins to deteriorate, affecting the advice and information it gives Seto. Here is a quote to give you an idea:

One moment please. I am again checking the affairs of your surroundings. Um… Uh… That… Something… The key is probably laughing…

-P.F

Chiyo

Chiyo

Somewhere along Seto’s journey, Chiyo blocks his path. She appears to be a young girl but her manner of speaking is that of an elderly person’s. She has an especially cautious and selfish personality. This vice stems from the fact that she is a very lonely person.

Item Seller

Item Seller

A mysterious individual who sells Seto items he needs along his journey. He is always in good humor and at ease despite the state of the world. He appears to wheel around a baby carriage filled with his goods.

I really love the character design for the game so far. It creates a good cohesion between the setting and mood of the game.

In addition to these updates some screenshots of a few ruins Seto will travel to have been revealed:

Dam

Futto Town

Laboratory

Dam

The dam sure looks unthreatening enough from the outside. The inside however is dark, damp, and humid. Apparently you can also go into the Dam’s control room… wonder if it still works?

Foot Town

Foot Town is located inside of Tokyo Tower. Click here for a description of Foot Town. I wonder what’s inside?

Laboratory

The kind of research that was done here is unknown. There are probably things here that would be helpful on Seto’s journey.

      I personally think “Frame” makes more sense, since that word carries at least slightly electronic connotations (mainframe, etc.) but that’s just me.

      The Item Seller is creepy. Seriously, is that just a mascot head or what? I can see a pinpoint of light inside the mouth…I don’t know if it’s less scary if that’s the actual person’s eye.

      I would be really afraid to buy items from that guy, especially if we were the only ones around for miles.

      I didn’t notice the pinpoint of light, wonder what that’s about. If he is human, he has to be completely insane.
