Well, it's kind of good solution to end the game before the Promised day, don't have to worry about the spoilers.

And after all, the literal translation of the title is "To the Promised day". It was predictable.'

But if the game ends before the Promised Day, what about these scenes?


The fight against Sloth happened on the Promised Day.

So most likely the events on this day will be the extra missions and you can only play them if you have a password.
This Extra Mission page on the official site suggests that too:

I'm not watching that "ending" video since I want to see it myself!

I'm now at the part where I just defeated killed Lust with Al, Roy, and Riza. From the beginning of the game I have spent 5 hours of gameplay, and I skipped a lot of the dialogues too... o___o I can't wait to see the part where Ed meets Al in the gate...!

I wonder how long it will take to finish the game if I don't skip any dialogues...

This is a good game. 9000x better than the Wii game crap. If I wasn't gonna buy the Ed & Al mp3 player I would buy this game instead but ah, I want the mp3 player more and money doesn't grow on trees... ;w;

Anyhow, must work on essay naw.



According to the image you linked, the name of the new mission to be unlocked is called "Two Heroines" so it is likely the fight against Sloth with Izumi and Olivier? I wonder if there will be extra missions released later other than that one. =o

Some screenshots from minigames, I guess:







And some from the ending I gave earlier:






The good thing is, I recognize some of them from omakes/jokes Arakawa has made (for example Al full of cats or Maria saving the Xingese Emperor)

Thanks for the screenshots! I like that they showed that the scene when Maria saved the Emperor. If I remember well, Arakawa mentioned this in the 3rd Guidebook.
And the creators of the game thought that Olivier needs fanservice scenes too.

Awesome shots . Some of them are super cool . . . Nice pics . Makes me wanna buy that game . . I seriously hope they release one for the playstation 3

O.O Dear Lord! They've included the sceen of Maria saving the emporer! That was only mentioned by Arakawa in one of the books. Bandai...I love you and I wish the have your children. Also I wonder if they will include the Envy and Gluttony vs Ranfan and Ling bit. That was cut out of Brotherhood and it was one of my favourite bits.

I would also love to see a bit about how Bradley met his wife. It's so funny but it's never been animated or put into the manga.

Oo Olivier fanservice?? I never EVER thought I would be seeing this one day! And hooray for Maria at Xing minigame! Makes me wish I would buy PSP... and learn japanese! *is never gonna happen*

Olivia... what

I love the cats one though...

...........
WHAT THE? THEY GAVE OLIVIER FANSERVICE!! Owo''' AWESOME! finally, fanservice beside royai or edwinry. she looks so,, good. 8DDD she just get a bath or something?

......Olivier fanservice was absolutely NOT needed. Totally ruined the image of the queen for me. OTL.

More screenshots from Tieba Baidu:






EDIT:



So it looks like they included the Military Festival gaiden too.

Ha, I see a few gaidens/omakes here

Ed with painted face=priceless.

Party hard too much.

Ed's face... xD

Still think there's more crack and fanservice than this game needs, though.

Omg, Catherine. I want to get to that part o_o

I got that part where Winry doodled on Ed's face.

I just finished beating Guririn last night... (Ed vs Greed!Ling right after he left Gluttony).

Ed & Al & Lin vs Father was the toughest fight ever =___=; Took like forever.

More screenshots:


They can't stop making cracky scenes:









So chapter 86, the Ed & Greed & Ran Fan vs. Pride and Gluttony fight is also an extra mission you can unlock with a password.

^ LOL Thanks for the pics Michiyo! I laughed so much at the Olivier pic... can totally imagine her doing something like that XD

Aww, they animated that little story where Den has lost her leg protecting the Elric brothers from a train...

Lol, Ranfan as maid...

Wtf is with that Olivier one? Xd

Some extra story with black mindless zombies? Oook...

What's the story behind Riza eating with Al and Ed? Seems interesting!

Off topic:

I never heard about a story behind how Den lost her leg O_o. Where can I read it?

From what I remember it was only mentioned in one of the guidebooks.

Sorry, I can't be more help.

A little story? Where can I read that? ;w;

WaAAAAAAh the pics are great LooooL!!

Guessing the game will re-tell the Den story so we can all be informed. It is nice that they've added it though.

Ran-Fan looks a little like FemaleRoy.

Gameplay, part 2:

Will put it together and upload on YT.

Update at the official site, in the Extra Mission section. If you click on Al, you'll get to a page which shows the extra missions and the codes you need to use to play them.

Also, new image:


EDIT: And another one:

So I have finally finished playing the game...

I'm quite disappointed that the final battle is against those "puppets" outside the house which Gluttony has swallowed part of. Those puppets weren't supposed to appear at that point of the story in the anime/manga. What happened was, as you (Ed, Greed, and the two chimeras) were about to leave that house, you were attacked by those puppets... They were a piece of cake to beat, by the way, so that didn't feel like a boss fight at all. This game ends at episode 45, and the ending animation is the same as that of Shunkan Sentimental in episode 45.

The fight against Father midway (episode 28) was ten times harder than that "boss" fight against 3 puppets. Or at least make it 10 puppets instead of 3! =_= I thought they would make the fight against Pride as the last fight of the story... meh. Disappointment. Though it's true that one of the extra mission that gets unlocked right after you cleared the game is the fight against Pride and Gluttony... though it would be nicer if that fight is part of story mode rather than extra mission, because you don't get to see the story for that part, or see Pride engulf Gluttony. =\

They released more codes on the official site.

Bond of Two Souls - Circle X Down Right Left Triangle Circle Right

Eternal Break - Up Triangle Circle Right Square Up X Left

Two Heroines - Up Right Down Left Down Right Up Left

===================

About that Olivier scene... from what I remember...

*Ed and Al got lost in Briggs fortress*
Ed: What is this room?
*Olivier comes out*
*Ed and Al super shocked*
Ed: SORRY! WRONG ROOM!
Olivier: .......
Al: Uhhh we were lost! Sorry! (or something like that)
Olivier: .......
*Ed and Al leaves the room*
*Olivier comes out of her room*
Olivier: Your room is down the hall that way (or something like that).

...lame. They really tried very hard to put in these fanservice... =_=;;

Most of the little stories they added are pretty nice. If only they could exclude pointless fanservices like this...

Gameplay on YT:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6SO08kW8UM...=PL&index=8

I have small problems with connection, but the rest of the parts will be uploaded shortly.

Thats awesome, thanks for the info

athough I would like to ask

Whats the story of the lanfan in a maid outfit or the hot springs involving Ed, Al and Ling being a accidental perv. Or the picnic with Riza or nurse Riza. well you probably havent done the miniquests so sorry if I asked too much.

Well . . I take back everythin i've said against this game . I got my friend's psp for a few days , and he gave me this game along . And wow , i loved it . For sheer fun , this game is awesome . . Sadly for me , i couldn't keep it for more than 1 day . And now , i'm forcing my father to get me a new psp ha ha

I finished the game after 16 hours and I don't really have motivation to replay it anymore... despite not having everything unlocked ^^;;

I find the dialogues are just too tedious, and the battle is rather tedious too. I don't like the lack of "leveling up" (I'm a sucker for leveling up XD; ) though you do learn new techniques. But then they don't lay out clearly how and when you learn new techniques either, so it's a kinda... catch or miss thing.

And the last fight versus Father (in Battle Royale mode, not normal story mode) was very disappointing, because father escaped after you took out about 50% of his HP, and Ed, Al, Roy and Scar thought they won the battle or something... I thought at least we'd get to beat down father's HP by 100% and I was getting close to that! I was in turn #57 so I do have a chance of defeating Father fully! Grr...




Replying just to show that I'm not intentionally ignoring you or anything like that... ^^;
I didn't get to that part even after completion of the story, so it's probably in one of those mini-dialogues that I didn't check out. There are side-missions that you can play, and usually they give you like a choice of 3 out of 5 side-missions, so it could be in one of those side-missions I didn't pick...

PC wallpaper with Al:

So I was right that the new Gangan will reveal codes for more extra missions. Pics from Tieba Baidu:

Oh, so awesome! So much events from the Promised day~

We were right after all.

Good to hear.

I see they changed zombies' color to gray/black.

After inputting all those codes, there are still 4 ??? left, so... 4 more missions that they have yet to tell us. I wonder if they are gonna be throwing them in for GanGan August issue... even if they do I'm not gonna buy it unless it comes with a very nice FMA furoku lol

Just a new Special image.

^ Nice! ^^

Looks like they just announced a new mission: "Homunculus vs State Alchemist."

You can see all the extra missions and the passwords for all of the extra missions on "Extra Mission" page of the official game site. On the official site, click on Extra Mission at the top, then click on Al (Al is connected to "View Extra Missions" button) on the left bottom part of the page.

The extra missions currently available are: (following names of the missions are temporary translations by me and not the official English name, and if available, using the English title from FMA:Brotherhood anime official English subbed epiosdes.):
From the top, as shown on the Extra Mission page on the official game site. (Far right side of each game on that page is the correct password.)

"Homunculus vs State Alchemist" (This one looks like a game with Lust, Envy, Gluttony, etc. vs Ed,Al, Roy, & Alex)


"The Fifth Human Sacrifice" (This one looks like a game with Selim, Bradley vs Ed, May, Scar & Roy)


"Army of Immortals" (This one looks like a game with Ed, Scar, Toad Chimera, & Monkey Chimers vs Zombie soldiers ...sorry, forgot the names of these chimeras..)


"Mortal Enemy" (This one looks like a game with Roy & Riza vs Envy)


"Everyone's Power" (This one looks a game with like Al & Heinckel vs Kimblee)

(these 5 above are the newer ones, the newest from the top)


"In Front of the Gate" (This one looks like a game with Scar vs Bradley)


"The Strongest Female Team" (This one looks like a game with Olivier, Riza, & RanFan vs Ed, Roy, & Lin)


"The Bond between Two Souls" (This one looks like a game with Lin, RanFan, Fuu vs Greed)


"Eternal Rest" (This one looks like a game with Fuu, Buccaneer, & Greed vs Bradley)


"Two Heroins" (This one looks like a game with Olivier & Alex, and Izumi & Sig vs Sloth)
(The password shown on YoungGanGan mag for this mission was incorrect. please check the correct password on the official page ^^)

I just got this game recently so i have a couple of questions, i hope someone can help me please.

1.- How long is this game?
2.- Is it hard to play the game without knowing japanese? i already beat the first chapter, i have played some other games in japanese (fighting and adventure games mostly) so i can manage more or less but i want to know if it gets more complicated.
3.- How hard is to get extras in the game? like those scenes posted earlier with Nurse Riza or Maid Lan fan.
4.- this is just a doubt, in the first chapter or mission in Lior the characters talked in the scenes but in the next one with Scar no one talked until you start the mission, i tried some options in the menu before that so i don't know if it's something i did or is the first chapter the only one with voices?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I really hope this gets an english translation and release......

I've been playing the Japanese version and am stuck

In the battle between Ed, Al, and Armstrong the mission parameter states that you must achieve a Lv 3? (I know VERY little Japanese). I'm assuming this to mean the 'Break Combo' that sometimes occurs after an attack.

-Is the 'Break' random? Anyone know why it occurs? Whenever I have one occur the corner always says Lv 1.

-I've tried many different things but have no idea how to get Lv 3 that is needed to finish this level. I can defeat Armstrong with no problem but always fail the mission since I haven't achieved a Lv3....

Any suggestions?

Great game and I hope to get into it further......

Anyone know if an FAQ or manual translation has been written to help out?

Thanks

Update:

Eureka! I finally figured it out and passed that level. For anyone that does not know....(it took me quite a few times of replaying that level...) here's a spoiler

Well this is what worked for me after much trial & error. When you get the 'Break' occur after an attack DO NOT hit the R shoulder button to start the combo. A dot should appear and fill in a hole on the transmute circle in the upper right corner. Continue this way until the entire trasmute circle is full (max 3?). At this point I can't remember if it happened automatically or I had to get another 'Break' to occur after an attack. But having it full started the LV 3 attack combo WHICH REALLY HURTS! Took Armstrong down in one final blow.

I can't guarentee that explaination is entirely accurate. I'm still figuring things out on this game....

I think I've found out a bit more about how 'Breaks' occur as well. Here's another possible spoiler on that:
If you highlight an enemy character and check it's stats you will see certain things that it is 'weak' 'against' or 'strong'. (icons look like fist, sword, bullet, fire, ect....) I'm assuming these are like physical, slashing, projectile, fire, ect.... I was noticing that if you use an attack that a character is 'weak' against the break occured much more frequently. (I was getting it more often against Armstrong with Ed's armblade attack which is a sword/slash). I also noted that once one of these 'breaks' occured against a character the the icon with a down arrow (one of three above their name?) lights up. I think this is a disablement but not entirely sure. (when it lights up attack, speed, or defense is weaker? Hense the down arrow....) Just a guess......

Anyway if anyone has any further thoughts to my explainations I would like to hear them.

Great game (hope it get translated and released NA or Europe)

If you know the story well the Japanese dialog isn't a big problem. You can figure out from the clips and graphics what is going on.

Anyone else still playing this?

I am not playing it right now but Ive ordered it and am expecting it on may 10th. From what I can see the game is great. And I love RPGs. Maybe you can help me with some stuff?

(i need to learn japanesxD)
I just get my game today, please,can some one help me with the control or with the instruction ??and the extra mission code? I'm missing code and i only have 5

Just check the website and you will find all codes. The other questions I dont know the answer to myself yet.

^ Thank you for your help, yababegrabb!


@4de - If you need help with specific part of Japanese instruction, if you can post it here I can try to translate it.

Hey Tombow. You seem to know alot of things about this game so im just gonna ask you a question. Do you ever get play as a homuculus (except Greed/Ling). And what modes are there after you finish story mode? So far I only know about Story mode and battle royale( or whatever its called).

@yababegrabb - No, I have not played as a homuculus, and I think that's it and then do extra "missions", but... I'm in no way the expert on FMA games and therefore I hope we'll have our FMA game guru, AA battery again soon, to help with all your FMA game questions. (She comes on here and there to answer FMA game question. )

Ok, thanks anyway. I finally got my game copy a year and a half. I waited six months for an English release then I ordered the japanese one on ebay. It never came so finally I just got it at playasia. Its pretty good. Better than the first one at least.

I apprecite it.
here is the picture. Is with the control how to use them. I progress a little.

Tombowthanks in advance

And I want tips for passing the episode vs Envy,Fatjer and Glutony

Focus only on Father with Ed and Al and use ling on envy and gluttony or dont use him at all. When theres a red light coming from father that means he cant be hurt so attack envy and gluttony in the meantime so you can get break on father.

Do you know how to unlock the last extra missions? Ive finished the game and written all of the codes but there are still two extra missions that are locked. Do you have any idea on how to unlock them?
