Fragile trailer is more than solid

Fragile continues to look like the most atmospheric Wii title since Samus did her thing. This short trailer doesn't contain much in the gameplay department, but what is there has a really eerie ambience to it. The haunting tune that plays as the beam from Seto's flashlight crawls across these desolate environments is perfect.

The official Fragile blog still has this listed for a 2008 release in Japan, and producer Kentaro Kawashima has promised us there will soon be news of a release date. Then it's time to start crossing everything for a western localization!

Fragile is the best-looking Wii game you'll see today

Even though there are only four new screens of Namco Bandai's Fragile ~ Farewell Moon Ruins, their beauty warrants an update. Besides, we can't have been the only ones who thought of Yorda, of Ico fame, when we first clapped eyes on the slight, barefooted girl above (also seen here). We currently know nothing about this waifish character, though some Ico-style hand-in-hand gameplay wouldn't go amiss; Fragile's post-apocalyptic wasteland certainly seems like the ideal location for a bit of cooperation!

All videos and no play makes Tales a wanted game

You don't have time to be reading this. In fact, by spending valuable seconds reading this very sentence, you have wasted enough time to insult these new Dawn of the New World trailers by not giving them your undivided attention. This massive RPG loves spamming fans with countless videos, and we don't like it. It's a tease. Still, we keep coming back and absorbing everything associated with the sequel to the best RPG on the GameCube. Anyway, what are you still doing here? Hit the jump for plenty more Tales goodness right now!

Fragile is back and sturdier than ever

The status on Fragile has been officially updated from scanned to gallery'd. Yep, you'll find a whole bunch of fresh, clear and ... don't touch them .. rather pretty images from this intriguing tri-Crescendo RPG in our new gallery.

Fragile? What the heck is that, you say? A history lesson -- it was announced as a "ruin-exploration RPG" last year, and only now has Namco released some new character art and images from in-game scenes. It seemed like vaporware for a brief period there, but new life has sprung forth! It's more stuff, just like we wanted, but we actually meant "give, game now! us!" instead of a simple collection of media.

Here's an idea. Go to the official website, have a read (if understanding Japanese is a skill you possess), and make sure the volume is turned up to let the haunting tune surround you. Hit the gallery for quietly surreal screens and enjoy the Fragile experience! It's not as good as playing the actual game, but it beats playing something you'll regret.

Up come the first shots of Arc Rise Fantasia

Now that the initial announcement for Arc Rise Fantasia has been made, a bunch of scans have surfaced showing some of the game in all its graphical glory. Suffice to say, it looks rather spectacular. Man, RPG developers for the Wii just aren't holding anything back these days -- which is a welcome change after a lengthy lack of titles. Let the creativity flow!

It just wouldn't be an RPG without a bunch of spiky-haired teenage boys and some girl holding a staff -- thanks to character designer Kenichi Yoshida. The director responsible for the gorgeous locations and epic battles is Hiroyuki Kanemaru, and you can check out a couple more scans after the break. Look out for more Arc Rise Fantasia news real soon, because no RPG should be left behind.

Battling it out with Dawn of the New World

The existing trailer for Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World is a glorious cinematic, and there's nothing quite as tasty as an epic RPG doing what it does best - showing off and kicking ass. Fortunately for us, the Tales series does lots of stuff best, and we're hoping this latest footage from Dawn plays as good as it looks.

The opening cinematic features Lloyd, Collette and the rest of the gang from the GameCube's Symphonia. Keep in mind -- the entire video is overrun by lighting-fast Japanese commentary, and it's information we only wish we could comprehend. Nevertheless, you'll witness plenty of gameplay here, with the new world map featured (as opposed to the rather empty free-roaming map in the previous game), along with a couple of dialogue scenes and some heavy battling action. There's really nothing to criticize at this point -- we just want to play this stunner.

The more we see and hear about Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, the more excited we get. Not only are we craving some RPGs for the Wii (although Opoona and Baroque will be out relatively soon), but also we're happy to see how the game has improved. Tales has come a long way since its earlier screens, and we can't wait until it hits American shores.

To see a deluge of new Tales of Symphonia screenshots, make sure to check past the break.
