Topic: Fragile Dreams out on friday

Another rising star hit I hope...

Definately picking it up.

Ratings have been so-so, just like in Japan. 70%-ish, people complain about the combat but praise the atmosphere and side stories.

I'm getting it just for the atmosphere, but probably when the price drops.

I'm guaranteed £650 sooner rather then later. So. Any game that I've got on my wishlist that gets 70% +, can consider itself OWNED!

To be honest even if the game sucked I'd still buy it. I try not to get swayed too much, the graphics look gorgeous, and if the side stories are praised, great.

Does this come with Japanese voices or not?
As far as I understand, the characters in this game are somewhat like anime stereotypes, and I do not want to hear another American voice-actor's take on anime stereotypes. And it seems it is impossible to find a single English voice-actor who can pronounce Japanese words and names properly. (I cringed during every conversation in Persona 3.)

Usually something like that isn't enough to ruin a game though, but if this game relies heavily on its atmosphere, a bad dub could ruin everything.

Yup, original Japanese audio track is in.

Yaaay, then I'll buy it as soon as it's cheap enough to order online without having to worry about customs.

I'm getting it! don't care much what reviews say!

Jeezy petes, I can't keep up with the Wii any more. I still haven't picked up Tatsonuko, Desperate Struggle, or Final Fantasy CC, and now THIS beauty of a game is coming out. Not to mention Pokemon HG/SS just came out for DS and WarioWare DIY is just around the corner--this is just a little too much for me right now!

get TvC first... and quickly. then Desperate struggle.

I'll give it a rental. I'm loving the atmosphere and mood, but not liking the gameplay.

I'm loving everything about it based on what I'm seen, EXCEPT the combat.
Although, It definitly has atmosphere that's for sure.

I think subbing is a lot cheaper than dubbing (voice actors cost money ya know!), so that was a foregone conclusion that the Japanese audio track would be there. There's also graffitti which is apparently key to understanding the story completely, so hopefully that was also covered.

Got a mail from GAME stating my order is being processed, so with luck I'll have it tomorrow!

I played a preview version a few months ago and all the voiced dialogue was in English. The review copy should be here any day now so I'll update this when I know more

Hmmm, maybe just in the intro? Well, colour me surprised! If the audio dub is good them I'm fine, but I do recall reading something from Rising Star saying they were going to subtitle it.

72% from ONM I believe.

They're both going to sub and dub it; an English audio track is also in.

I love this game, I'm only about an hour in but its genuinely spooky to wonder around. Its also best played in the dark

i been playing it for few hours and it is a wonderful game, characters, story, music is all great the combat is a little shallow and with no auto lock on some enemies can be a pain when they run behind the character but besides that the game is nearly flawless

I enjoyed what I read about the mood and atmosphere but then I read reviews of the gameplay. I decided it's better to get Resonance of Fate now and wait until Fragile dips below the $20 mark.

I'm definetley going to get it no matter what reviews say. It looks like it has a great atmosphere and storyline.
