I beat it in 9 hours cause I hasted my time at the end training from lvl 32 to lvl 35.

I beat the game twice in 19 hrs.

I got 4 kitties the first run, and teh other 3 the second.

Let's just hope that the 3rd installment is longer, and possibly not so 'linear' in storyline. I liked the plot explaining about the whole ancient civilization that died in one night though. And the whole cat thing...too hillarious. But I can't believe I missed some playing it a 2nd time. o.O; Or was that supposed to happen? Ah well, I'll get them all. Now...I just need to play the 1st game. I couldn't get it since they were sold out at one point and FMA2 was the only one left and the last copy in Target at that.
Eni
Yeah, it was quite short (i've played twice... only twice and finished the game.... cooler yeah, but even shorter than the first sleep.gif) maybe the 3rd have some sidequest and things like that... (you know, the cats are cute and all but... i don't have the morale to play a second time only to search for cats ¬¬u).

Nah... i'll go replay some other game better than this *goes replay suiko III with Chris*

the best thing about the third game is that, you don't have to play the whole game again to obtain all the cats (unless you missed the cat on the last chapter... then yes, you have to play the game all over again to get that cat because you can't use the map again after you beat the final boss)

It has a mapping system that allows you to go back to previous chapters just to play it over again (except that there is no bosses) to collect items or to level up.

ShiroiKazeru: I suggest that, for every chapter, right before you fight the boss, you walk back just to go look for cats. Some cats (namely chapter 1 - Lior, 3 - Scar, 4 - Resembool, 5 - umm the one with Riza, if I remember correctly) only appears the second time you access the area.
Eni
I actually get only 3 cats :/ (one at the sewers, one at arlen's house and one at the final dungeon happy.gifU).

By the way.... the scenes that activate after taking some cats (like the one in the final dungeon xD) are so funny, but the things they give by equiping them are just... crappy sleep.gif, maybe it's just me, but i find the bonus so crappy (things like al doesn't run really sucks ><, i know, it boost the other stats but... i prefeer some other equipement better than a cat tongue.gif)
Kyo_Umerio
I'm in Siam-Sid, i could have beat it all in one day but i'm a profectionist and i wont settle for a lesser rank than A.... soo..... i have Redone the fight with scar three times before i got my A happy.gif and then i had a bit of trouble with the Horn golem until i put Al on one of the ShotGun Cannons.
TSilver Fox
Finally beat it today, took me two days in about three sittings (between working).
I only got 3 cats! And I had no Idea about Hyate! Never read anything up on it till now, So this is cool. It gives me all the more reason to go back and play it again!

I still haven't finished the first one. I can't seem to blow up the frog looking Chimera boss from the inside with those dang bombs. Last time I played it and got far on that game was when I was running a 103 temp fever. Perhaps I'll have to wait around for the flu again before I manage to beat that boss? blink.gif
Kyo_Umerio
anyone know a REALLY good way where i wont DIE!!! to beat the Mysterious Woman ( the last time) and get an A rank on it happy.gif anyone??
DeathforHire666
Well this is kinda random me just putting in a comment buy when i got the game i beat it in the same day i got it. biggrin.gif soo (insurt evil laugh).
LoMXD
I love the music in the cut seen where ed and al destroy the stone. , I had to level up alot just to beat crowleys second form. took me 4 days. but lvl 36 did the trick. but I just love that armlet of perception.

oh man! i've already played the game twice and didn't find the cats... i thought it was odd that, even after looking into some guides, i couldn't find them... i didn't know you had to go back for them.

geez, back to square one...

anyway, yeah, playing the game 2x for those eyecandies are definitely worth it. Buraha is just hilarious! He's all over Mustang's office! Every scene, and every camera angle change during your time in Mustang's office, he's there! XD sooo cute!

this game is definitely better than the 1st one IMO...

how u guys beat armstrong and scar?
LoMXD
my brother gained a few levels, then he got scar to break the box in front of the cow and he used it. (that cow is so adorable!)
armstrong, you just have to wing it without alchemy.
Kyo_Umerio
Scar just takes time..... and armstrong requires Combo's between Al and Ed like pinball
LoMXD
yeah. oh you know when you are in lior, you can find another cat? you have to beat the game first and start playing it over.
Fayt
Scar is pretty easy if you good at countering and same for armstrong.

Well in my opinion.

do all female charcters who have to be saved in fullmetal alchemist games have to die??who is arlen anyway??and how does crowley die??
Odysseus
[spoiler]Edward kind of kills Crowley. Well first he defeats him twice and then when he keeps coming back, the third time as some weird monster, he goes off to find the crimson stone while Mustang, Hawkeye, and Armstrong hold off Crowley. He destroys the stone which was the only thing keeping Crowley alive and so he dies.[/spoiler]

And there you go.
andres higuera
this might piss everyone off that i am asking so much questions,but what happens after you beat the game??
Odysseus
No problem, the spoiler box needs to do some work around here. happy.gif

[spoiler]Well after they leave the now collapsing areas of the Spire in Siam-Sid (Where you fight the last boss followed by a rather lengthy story wrap up) the city reverts back to the ruins it was before Crowley got involved. The last custom animated cutscene plays where Ed, Al, and Armstrong board a train heading out and it seems as if the game leads into the first one. Credits roll, afterwards a text based cut scene plays where Envy, Lust, and Gluttony talk amongst themselves about Crowley becoming useless to their mission after he became distracted with his own personal problems. Basically ending up saying how the whole thing was, again their doing, and talk about targeting Ed next. End of game.

You can always play through a second time of course. Get a few special items, concept art, and some different cutscenes (like all the ones with Black Hayate in them)[/spoiler]

Not much else I can think of happens after wards.

If you beat Scar you get Sunglassas they activate accu-strikes.If you beat Armstrong you get something that protects you from being stuned.
Bezerker
I thought this game was really good, despite X-Play's bad reviews (but when are their reviews ever any good). I kinda wanted an option with the USA version to have the Japanese voices (as i dont really care for the american actors). This game had a good plot, i liked how it went in and out of the anime plot. Definately had its humor in it (the scene where they think that Edward is trying to woo Maes' 2 y/o daughter, CLASSIC!). The cell shading couldve been a bit smoother, and the game couldve been a bit longer. But other than that, i gotta give this game an 9/10.

Ill probably end up playing the New Game Plus tonight... Gotta find all them crystals.

I can't ever get a good rank.
but that golem boss you fight in siam sid was fun
Jonouchi
I can't beat the weird creature that appears outside of the secluded house. Anyone have any tips as to how to beat it?
szupie
Well, it's easy to beat any boss in the game, but what's difficult is to get an A-rank. You should use a sword to fight the creature. When you have a rage attack saved up, go transmute one of those cannon/shotgun things on the sides, and lure the creature right in front of it. Then, use your rage attack to stun it. Then, climb on the cannon/shotgun thing and keep shooting the creature, which would get you a high combo. Keep doing that whenever you have a rage attack, because it also takes away quite a lot of its health, too. The equipment I liked most in the level was the level-2 bombs, I think you can transmute them from the little balls that the creature shoots out. So, transmute some of those, and throw them at the creature at point-blank. When it's going for one of those fire attacks, run away and keep hitting the dodge button. When it's doing that laser thing, run behind it and slash it with your sword. If you need anymore help, I can play that level again to remember how I did it.

I'm not there yet, but I found a crystal guide:

QUOTE
Underspire-Second Descent

Crystal:

By far, this is the hardest and most frustrating one in the game to get.
The crystal floats in the middle of the fourth set of wind machines (the
ones that go beyond the pathway to the area's exit). The problem here is,
you can only reach the crystal if Al throws you. Sadly, Al is very stupid
and it's hard for him to make it past any gusts of wind. If you've made it
through the area and Al is far behind, exit the area into Third Decent and
head back into this area to get Al automatically by your side.

Now the challenge is getting past the wind machine that precedes the
crystal, and to the block that sits closest to the machine (right in line
wit the crystal). This easy enough with Ed, but getting Al over there is a
pain and will take MANY attempts. You have to hold the R1 button to get him
to run over, yet time it right so he runs over when the machine has died
down.

Even if you get him safely caught up with you, your troubles aren't over
yet. You have to perfectly time running to the edge just as the wind dies
down and having Al throw you to the crystal. This is hard as you have to
keep Al right behind you, which is a challenge, since you can accidentally
have him throw you too early if you hold R1, but not holding it makes him
fall behind. You also have to have him throw you when you're as close to
the edge as possible, or else you'll miss. Having Al keep up, positioning
yourself correctly and having him throw you in the small window of time you
have before the machine kicks up again is VERY difficult. Any mistake and
you have to start all over again.

Your level gets reset, but besides your items, you also get keep your skills too, so you can still use swords, hammmer, etc. and transmute higher level weapons. At level 99, you can transmute level 2 flash bombs, which can kill every enemy on screen, including bosses (Yay!).

Use the hammer, dodge4, and save the mouse mine transmutations when you are being swared with little golems. attack when the big guy wis in the middle of an attack, aor wright after. countering his attacks is also helpful

Well I thought she was pretty easy to beat. First off don't let your HP get too low. Keep healing yourself. And as for Al...don't heal him. Just wait till he dies and bring him back. It's much easier and you save the items for yourself.
And dodge alot! And using some stone walls is pretty helpful.
Also when she goes in the center...get away! Cause she'll do this pretty powerful attack that can easily kill you.
Don't keep attack her like you're on a roll. Attack her and then run a bit and repeat. Because if you attack her over and over again she'll do this attack where she take you into the air.

I hope I helped! smile.gif
