XSeed Officially Localizing Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon

Back in March of last year I first learned about Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon, and feverently followed news on the game since then.  I had all but given up hope on an English localization when it was announced today that Xseed Games has officially picked up the title.  For those unfamiliar with the game, I highly recommend checking out my collection of articles concerning it, or at the very least, downloading the songs by Teshima Aoi featured in the game.

There is no set release date, but Xseed is planning on releasing the game within the year.  I have heard from a few different sources that they are considering keeping the Japanese dialog, which I really hope is true!  There will, of course, be subtitles and optional dubbing.

I really am excited to finally play this game.  It’s just so interesting in terms of story. I am not sure why but I am obsessed with anything having to do with the life after people.  I am kind of hoping for an experience similar to Fallout 3, just more surreal.  The game’s appearance is especially striking despite it being for the Nintendo Wii. I think the art really helps support the appearance where the graphics may be a bit lacking.  The weapon and control system is really creative; I think they will contribute well to immersing the player in Seto’s post apocalyptic world.

Fragile is a 3D ruin-exploring RPG for the Nintendo Wii, initially produced by Bandai-Namco and tri-Crescendo.  It was released in Japan this January.
