Forums - Nintendo - XSeed - Info on Fragile(2010)/Arc Rise Fantasia localization

Darn, I was still holding out for Fragile this year. I guess The Crystal Bearers is gonna have to pick up the slack. I wonder what the Arc Rise Fantasia announcement is going to be?



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

Anyhoo, I was hoping that Fragile was coming out in 2010 actually, since I wouldn't have been able to buy it this year...

read about this on Gonintendo. Sooo, how good is Fragile anyway. And I know part of Team Symphonia worked on Arc Rise Fantasia. Is this game fun?

               It is in my top 10 Wii games. Basically if you like Adventuring or Story/Atmosphere>Action the game is great. Since my Japanese isn't good enough to read things without stopping and looking up a kanji, I would spend minutes translating something which kinda adds to the adventuring aspect even more for me since they are like secret messages. By something I mean there is writing all over walls of subways, books to read, or anything else that is all in writing. The main story pretty always has voice-over to accompany the writing. So I understood most of the story. The game tries to bring up a lot of emotions, while sometimes failing, and others succeeding to at least the slightest bit. Battles are pretty basic. You have three weapon types, weak but fast ones, big but slow ones, and projectiles. You upgrade these weapons in a pretty linear faction, but much less so than your average JRPG or Action-Adventure. The weak but fast weapons allow for combos, the big ones charge, and the projectiles stay pretty much the same. So yeah fighting is pretty basic. The main aspect is the exploration gameplay though. The world is BIG and for the most part seamless. You start out in subways, go to amusment parks, hotels, bridges, etc. It is pretty varied, and the graphics are gorgeous. The cinematics are nice, and not too long for a stay, but get to the point. I am a big fan of action-adventures, and RPGs so when a game blends them, and does it right it is guaranteed to be at least good for me. I would give the game an 8.6 if I were to review it btw.



Looking forward to Fragile!

If you already own an HD console it's a good combo to have it and a Wii many exclusive games to be had (like Fragile :D ) if you're anything like me you buy a console for one game and then buy other games that wasn't on your "must have" list, I bought my PS3 for LBP, but ended up getting things like UT3, VC and such.

Yeah I buy a system for a must have and then buy other titles to support the buy :)

I just don't think I will have time to play both PS3, DS, PSP and WII :P A shame really, but it's not like Fragile is in the near future so I'll have plenty of time to think about it :D

Well I'd say there's enough great games on the the Wii to warrent a purchase, I've got all the consoles but also a huge backlog, so I can see your point.
