Since it first emerged earlier this month, Namco Bandai's Fragile ~ Farewell Moon Ruins has been a mystery wrapped in an enigma. Slowly but surely though, more on the tri-Crescendo (Eternal Sonata) developed "ruin exploration RPG" is being revealed, and the past weekend saw a flurry of new media (such as the trailer from the official site), all of which points to an RPG rich on atmosphere and suspense. Famitsu also had a few tidbits of gameplay information. Apparently, protagonist Seto will be equipped with a flashlight, which players will be able to control by pointing the Wii Remote at the screen. A metal detector will also be available (again, this will be controlled using the Wiimote), as well as "other tools." There is also talk of demons appearing during combat, though sadly a rather impenetrable translation prevented us from learning more. Nevertheless, you can color me intrigued. Current news also points to a 2008 release in Japan. Sadly no news yet on whether or not it will Japan only. Magazine Scans

Well, we don't really know what this game is about...but we do know it's an Action RPG. Something RE is not.

"The world of Fragile will be filled with wall sketches and short stories for the player to examine and read. A competition will be held where readers of gaming magazines can send in their own sketches and short stories to be included in the game."
Taken from the Wikipedia article
There are only two characters revealed so far.
Seto - The main protagonist of the game.
Heroine - A mysterious girl who Seto is looking for during his journey.
