Tactics and FMA

[kikotei]

Hurray! My Tactics artbook finally showed up today. It's very pretty, I think I may have to try scanning some of the pictures. That is if my scanner is working properly again. ::glares at it::

I also picked up the FMA game for the PS2 the other day, "Broken Angel". It's not half bad. So far my only complaints are that I haven't heard any music from the show, and there's no option to switch to the Japanese voices. >_<

I am liking the dialog though. It's holding fairly true to the anime/manga. Al cracks me up, he's poking far more fun at Ed than I've ever seen. Best line so far: after Ed manages to derail and wreck the train they were on, Al comments to Armstrong that the wreck was an 'Ed-induced incident'. ::snicker::

It's not gonna blow anyone away as an RPG, it's really pretty standard as far as the set up. The alchemy system is pretty cool though. I was having a blast transmuting giant bombs and rolling them at the bad guys. The controls are a little different than I'm used to, I keep accidentally exiting the menu. ^_^;;;

I'd love to see pics from the Tactics artbook, if you're able to put some up. Thanks! *hugs*

never seen fma, but was instantly attracted to the outwardly duo-like looks of the lead ^_^'
anyway, rented the game...haven't played yet, but will be interesting to play without having a clue about the show eh? -sheepish grin-

It's a wonderfully deep series. It tends to get very depressing at time, but that's just the nature of the questions of morality and life and death that get brought up. Fortunately there are some very silly episodes and parts to break up the angst fest.

Yeah, I thought of Duo too, looking at Edward.

Fortunately the game gives you enough in the intro to understand the very basics of the series.
