Has anyone here watched the FMA series in its entirety? What did you think of the ending? Also, a new FMA games for PS2 is coming out mid-january. Anyone planning on getting it? I've also heard rumors of an FMA movie coming our next summer. Evidently, it takes place two years after the series ended. I wonder if they find eachtoerh (you'll only know what this means if you've seen the ending of the series.) Here's an article from Megagames about the upcoming game:

Description
Square Enix announced that FullMetal Alchemist and the Broken Angel will ship to retailers nationwide on January 18, 2005. The action role-playing game will be available exclusively for the PlayStation 2 system. FullMetal Alchemist expands the story in the anime series which airs on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming. The tale follows the adventures of brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric on their quest to make right the mistakes of their past.

The early success of the anime series on Cartoon Network shows the great amount of potential the Fullmetal Alchemist franchise holds in the U.S. market, said Ichiro Otobe, president and COO of Square Enix, Inc. We anticipate that American players will find the game to be as addicting as the Japanese fans have found it. The Fullmetal Alchemist franchise, which encompasses comic books, a novel, TV animation, and games, has enjoyed a phenomenal amount of success in Japan.

In a forbidden act of alchemy, Edward and Alphonse tried to raise their mother from the dead and lost their left leg and entire body, respectively. Immediately after the accident, Ed sacrificed his right arm to save Alphonse's soul and transplanted him into a suit of armor. The action begins as the two brothers head towards Central City in search of the Philosopher's Stone, the only object that can return them to their natural states.

Based on the wildly popular anime and manga series in Japan, FullMetal Alchemist has made its way to America, beginning with episodic programming on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. The series spans 51 episodes in a story that ranges from tear-jerking drama to hilarious comedy. The anime series has been extremely well received by fans and media alike with a DVD release set for 2005.

FullMetal Alchemist for the PlayStation 2 expands the tale in the anime series and is accompanied by fast-paced gameplay in which players can alchemize objects for use in battle. The story takes place in a lost chapter from the anime series during the Elric brothers' journey to Central. With animated cut scenes and in-game graphics that are the same quality as the TV series, the game ties in seamlessly with its anime counterpart. The key to gameplay depends on how well the player utilizes the versatile battle system. Over 50 transmutable objects ranging from trees to trash cans litter the landscape, allowing the practice of alchemy to have unlimited potential. In addition to controlling Ed, players can also equip the sub-character Alphonse and call him to aid during heated battles.

ahh.. never knew there was a game for FMA. i knew there was a show for it but not a game.

me too,i have watched the good japanese show named Full Metal Alchemist too.
maybe it is a good game.eager to have a try.

I think that the ending was good. I mean, considering how some other anime shows end, it's actually a decent one. A lot of times anime series build up to this huge confrontation and then the directors realize they only have one more episode to finish. As for the storyline ... sounds interesting, but could be boring. You can guess there's going to be conflict on Al's side, but whatabout on Edward's? All he's going to be doing is researching... and I heard it's RL stuff, so like physics and whatnot. Takes the whole "mystical" part out of the show... it seems like it could be too predictable. As for finding each other, they could, but I'm hoping they won't and they continue in another series

XP, i always expect a video game for every anime

i really like full metal alchemist, but i've never really tried the game. I don't know why, even if i buy a game to the anime of my biggest obsession, i won't play it cuz i'm stuck on my computer

but full metal alchemist seems interesting, i might buy it if i become any more richer

I started watching the anime.. its alright so far. never knew of the game tho

I just have read the manga.... Not yet the anime, but I think Fullmetal Alchemist is very good! I like FMA! I dont know about the game.....
