About the ending (with spoilers)

Loved the ending so much, seeing Al and Ed reaching out to the sky at the same time, tears flowed. What makes me uncomfortable is not that the brothers are in two worlds separated by a door, but that the two of them have embarked on a new journey to see each other. The ending of this version is full of uncertainty, both hope and regret. Will Douding and Al meet again? In fact, hints have been given in the play, as long as you keep moving forward, you will definitely gain something. But the ending doesn't matter anymore.

This version of Ed is really too sad, and he is completely pushed to grow up. However, if he hadn't experienced this, it would have taken him longer to know the laws of the adult world and understand that the real world is far more than a relationship of equivalence.

Although many people complained that this version is a bit rushed and full of bugs, it is still perfect in my opinion. Having said that, as Da Zuo said: It is precisely because it is not perfect that it is perfect.

Fullmetal Alchemist quotes

  • [after blowing open wall of Lab 5]

    Scar: Full Metal Alchemist! Take your brother and get out of here!

    Edward Elric: I don't need your help!

    Scar: Maybe not, but your younger brother needs you.

    Edward Elric: Let's go!

  • Number 48, Slicer: Older Broher: No, you don't understand. You must destroy us.

    Slicer: Young Brother: He's right. You must destroy us. There is nothing for the defeated but death that is our rule.

    Edward Elric: I'm not killing anyone. That's not what I do.

    Number 48, Slicer: Older Broher: You're too kind with your words. Calling us anyone, not anything. As if we could still be called human in this twisted state. I didn't say kill, I said destroy. Destroy these thing's we've become.

    Edward Elric: To do that, I'd have to admit you weren't human. And for me to do that, I'd have to admit the same of my brother and I can't do that.

    Number 48, Slicer: Older Broher: He's your brother.
