Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon (フラジール ~さよなら月の廃墟~, Fragile: Sayonara Tsuki no Haikyo) is a third-person Action RPG/Adventure Game released on the Nintendo Wii and developed by Tri-Crescendo, the same team who made Eternal Sonata and had a hand with the Baten Kaitos games. It was released by Namco Bandai Games in Japan on January 22, 2009, XSEED Games in North America on March 16, 2010 and in Europe by Rising Star Games on March 19, 2010.The game tells the story of a young boy named Seto, possibly the Sole Survivor of a world where humanity has suddenly vanished, leaving its cities abandoned. After the old man who he had been staying with passes on, Seto is left completely alone, but upon reading a letter the old man has written for him, he decides to leave the safety of his home and venture to "the red tower to the east" in hopes of finding other survivors.During his journey, Seto meets an assortment of strange and eclectic characters: a capricious silver-haired girl called Ren; a motherly AI called a "Personal Frame" (PF); a roguish boy named Crow; an enigmatic ghost called Sai; a quiet spirit named Chiyo; the chicken-headed Item Merchant; and a bespectacled scientist called Shin.That's it, really. Fragile Dreams is marketed as an "atmospheric adventure" focusing on "human drama" and emotion. While it plays similarly to a Survival Horror game, it's not horror outright, instead settling for being eerie, sad, lonely, depressing and (rarely) disquieting, while also relying heavily on the player's ability to draw his or her own conclusions about why most things are the way they are.Heavy fan demand for a localization surfaced following the original release back in January 2009. Luckily, XSEED Games and Rising Star Games listened and released a North American and European version in March 2010, respectively, complete with original voices, reversible box art, and a mini-soundtrack bundled with Fragile Dreams. A rare Manga adaptation has been released, following up on the events of the game. |

Cherry Tapping: It's completely possible to defeat the Final Boss with nothing but a broken stick; justified due to the mechanic of weapons breaking - a broken stick might be all players have left in their arsenal by the time the Final Boss is fought. |

Peninsula of Power Leveling: Late in the game, there is a room players must get across without being detected by the motion sensors; if detected, three enemies must be defeated, and players have to start over from the beginning of the room. However, these enemies provide lots of Experience Points and are simple to defeat, enabling players to Level Grind before reaching the climax of the game. |

The Last Man Heard a Knock...: Deliberately Invoked; while Fragile Dreams tries to play Sole Survivor on Seto for all its worth, that ends practically right away after he leaves the vicinity of the home he grew up in, discovering another person aimlessly wandering about. |

Defanged Horrors: Most enemies in the game are simply creepy and scary rather than truly nightmarish or horrifying. Since Fragile Dreams places an emphasis on relationships and friendship, some may call this game "Silent Hill for children". |

Bilingual Bonus: While voices and game text can be taken in English, all the scenery and even the credits are in Japanese. The game helpfully translates the more important phrases (i.e. information that might prove valuable) when examined in first-person, but a vast majority remains the same as it would be in Japan. If players can read Japanese, they'll at least be able to read the text on vending machines and graffiti. |

Daylight Horror: Most of the game occurs at night (the game's symbol is the moon, thus day/night cycles are not quite respected). However, one setting places Seto in a hotel while the sun is shining, yet it's one of the scariest locations in the game. |

Late-Arrival Spoiler: Ren's name isn't revealed until the end of the game. She's simply referred to as "the silver-haired girl", yet most discussions about the game refer to her by her name (including this page...oops). To be fair, it has no bearing on the plot, and her name is given in the character section of the instruction booklet. |

| | Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon (Video Game) / int_6320eced |
comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: Averted; the developers explicitly stated they were going for complete immersion - a lot of the game mechanics are implemented because of this, like the breakable weapons and the inventory management. Possibly an extreme aversion, as some players have suggested the game is designed to be dreary and chore-like (the fetch quests, in particular) to mimic Seto's experience; since he's not having fun, players aren't having fun, either. |

Our Ghosts Are Different: The effects of the Glass Cage left behind "Thought Processes", the remaining thoughts of humans who died and left their residual emotions in the world, such as Chiyo and Sai. This is achieved through Big Sleep, with the various Memory Items hinting and outright implying its occurrence following Glass Cage's first activation. |

Gainax Ending |
| | Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon (Video Game) / int_82accf22 |
comment |
Gainax Ending: Due to the ambiguity of Seto's ending narration, it's unclear what becomes of him. It's suggested he's on his death bed or just as he's dying, citing how it's been many years following the game's events. He's alone again, hinting Ren has diednote The post-game manga makes Ren an Ill Girl with Your Days Are Numbered in full effect, and it's been "countless summers" since he met her, thus all signs point towards Downer Ending or Esoteric Happy Ending. On the other hand, it's implied during the middle of the game a lot of people did indeed survive the effects of the Glass Cage, with Seto and Ren heading out to look for them together, making this lean more towards a Bittersweet Ending. |

comment |
Spell My Name with an "S": "Class Cage"? That doesn't make any sense unless one considers it's about cages formed by social classes, which has absolutely nothing to do with the story. The localization uses "Glass Cage", which in addition to making sense of the title (Fragile) also makes sense in that scientists were essentially trying to smash the restrictions of communication to sound and words, both of which were thought to be fundamentally limited like a cage. |

The observatory at the beginning of the game has a library with several bookshelves that can be examined. These books include "Pirate Isle" (the book that Crow reads) and several manuals on the Glass Cage project. This implies the man Seto lived with knew more than he was letting on when he tells Seto to head for the Tokyo Tower in his letter. Word of God ultimately confirms the old man was originally a member of the Glass Cage project. |

comment |
American Kirby Is Hardcore: In addition to using deeper, mature voices for the younger characters in the localization, the American box art sports a vicious-looking Seto holding a golf club, whereas the original Japanese and European box arts show Seto and Ren holding hands over a watery background. Justified when the localization was (poorly) marketed as some sort of post-apocalyptic adventure as opposed to a more emotional experience. However, XSEED included the latter art on the backside of the American game cover. |

Going through the Lunar Land amusement park with the special torch reveals secret messages written by Crow. In one message, instead of writing "I am Crow", he writes "I am H0053348". Looks like a serial number, doesn't it? |

Mood Whiplash: Deaths in the game tend to come suddenly, then followed shortly by something fun or hopeful. |

comment |
Apocalyptic Log: Objects, sketches, and short stories take the form of "Memory Items" for Seto to examine. Each Memory Item holds the last memories of its former owner, and offers the back-story and hints to the world and events leading up to the game. |

Shout-Out |

comment |
Shout-Out Possibly unintentional, but a robot named "Crow"? In another unintentional example, there are drawings of a monster on the walls in the underground mall that look like knock-offs of Pyramid Head. Later, a room full of drawings seem to be of characters from Taiko Drum Master, alongside Pikachu. |

| | Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon (Video Game) / int_ccb2a89c |
comment |
Melancholy Moon: The moon in the setting seen when Seto reaches the train tracks after leaving the subway tunnels appears much larger here compared to other environments in the game. Regardless, the moon is a prominent symbol of Fragile Dreams, highlighting the isolation and loneliness aspects as players control Seto walking through abandoned environments devoid of humans. |

Nothing Is Scarier |
| | Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon (Video Game) / int_cdfe12c3 |
comment |
Nothing Is Scarier: It's a game that takes place After the End where players explore half-collapsed subways, an underground shopping mall, an abandoned theme park, a crumbling hotel, and an old laboratory of sketchy reputation. It's often pitch black and a flashlight is needed to see where to go. Everything Trying to Kill You isn't in full effect for every room, but when approaching ghosts or a pack of wild dogs, ominous music is heard before seeing them. |

Hell Hotel; Would've been a simple hotel, were it not for the presence of a sentient tree attacking Seto. |

The Power of Friendship |
| | Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon (Video Game) / int_faece9aa |
comment |
The Power of Friendship: Seto and everyone he comes across. It's the whole point of the game - Seto's looking for a companion. This creates a lot of happy and sad moments when Seto is left alone again, time after time. Notably, the exceptions to this trope are Ren and Sai, and that's because it uses The Power of Love instead. |
