If you’re trying to keep track of what’s going on with the North American launch of Namco Bandai and tri-Crescendo’s Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon, you’ll need to take note here. XSEED has announced that they’ll be completely changing the name for the game’s localization. The game will now be known as… Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon.

OK, maybe it’s not quite a complete change… in fact, you barely even notice it. What do you think, though? It does make it seem more whole, at least as far as titles go. I just don’t know that Fragile Dreams screams “franchise” to me as much as the original. Oh well. I doubt it’s really going to make a difference in whether or not you pick the game up when it launches here in early 2010.
