A source close to the matter has told me that one of the new games that Arc System Works is going to announce in their upcoming showcase (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNo1kEEiMSg) two days from now is a Fullmetal Alchemist fighting game (1v1, no tag) for PS4, PS5, Switch 2, and PC. It will be ASW's first ever 3D fighting game that allows the characters to side step like in Tekken, Dead or Alive, Virtua Fighter etc.
The game is intended to be released as a full package from the get go and will not receive any update nor DLC post release. Full roster:

Edward
Alphonse
Hohenheim
Scar
Roy
Hughes
Alex
Olivia
Riza
Lin
May
Kimblee
Wrath
Pride
Greed
Lust
Envy
Glutony
Sloth
Father

Arc System Works asked Square-Enix (some people don't know this, but Square-Enix owns FMA) if they could add a guest character like Crono or Tifa, but Square rejected the idea.

>f*ghting game
Shan't peruse

>>713547237 (OP)
based if true

>ugly 3d like the last few guilty gears
it will be shit

>>713547237 (OP)
Oh boy more arena fighter slop

The most overrated anime. What would even make the fighting interesting? Alchemy in the show is barely ever used in an interesting way.

>>713547237 (OP)
It's missing a couple of very important characters.

>>713547237 (OP)
Their new games are a Hotel Dusk-like VN and a Guilty Gear ARPG. There were already leaks about these things.

sweet i love licensed shovelware

>>713547237 (OP)
>1v1
I would absolutely buy this shit

>>713547561
>Guilty Gear ARPG
Guilty Gear 5: Overture 2.

ftfy

>>713547237 (OP)
I like FMA but it's not really a good series for a vidya adaptation. Unless it's an RTS that has nothing to do with Elrics.

>>713547237 (OP)
Why would FMA of all things get a modern fighter? It's kind of in that weird limbo of really popular with entry-level anime nerds a decade ago and but modern shonenbabbies don't care about it and it hasn't had a new work in a long time. I'd play it though, sounds like it could be just Soul Calibur FMA Edition. Lots of FMA characters use bladed weapons.

Also, no Termin-Archer, shit roster.

>>713547748
Ayyyyyyyy.

>>713547752
>I like FMA but it's not really a good series for a vidya adaptation
Nigger, FMA was made to have an rpg. It's literally one of the few anime/manga series that could have a good one.

>>713549185
Yea. it would be really cool to select "do damage" from a menu but this time themed like fma.

>DUDE ANIME FIGHTING GAME MADE BY ARCSYS
Ugh

>>713549224
Just say you dont like RPG's you disingenuous faggot.

>>713549331
He's right though, what could an RPG offer but "re-experience the story but with NUMBERS"?

>>713549423
Alot, that anyone who actually plays RPG's would know about. Maybe you should actually play them instead of playing the same shitty gachadogshit and rollslop soulslikes everyone on this board plays.

>>713547907
Maybe Square has a contract with the mangaka that requires them to do something with the IP from time to time to not lose the vidya rights.

>>713547237 (OP)
A little out of date.

>>713547237 (OP)
How would Roy even work as a balanced, playable fighter? He can literally just snap his finger and explode his enemies instantly, no projectiles.

>>713547237 (OP)
you piece of shit, my heart skipped a bit. Why did you make this fake bullshit post?

>>713547550
>>713547748
You motherfuckers

>>713549795
>A lot
Like what. Name them, right now.

>>713549795
imagine.you could talk to the girl-dog chimera and it could be like "BARK!". you could level up Ed to level 10. and then he unlocks big alchemy. this enables ed to do more damage from the big alchemy menu.

Didn’t arc system make that kill la kill game? That received no post launch support? Don’t get your hopes up anons, that game was ass.

>anime game
>it's always a fighter or an arena fighter
Can't we get an action/adventure or an RPG or something? Like in the old days?

>>713550754
>WAAAH WAAAAH SPOONFEED ME
Even if I just told you, you'd just dismiss them all and say they're shit.

>>713551429
best i can do is a musou

>>713551465
>no i will not explain my stance, that would be spoonfeeding

>>713551465
I knew you couldn't.

>>713551547
>>713551551
samefag

People still care about FMA?

Please explain to me why we can’t get a 2d shonen all star fighting game 3v3? Just copy paste fighters and change it up a little. It’s free money. You could literally just port all the dbz reps.

>>713551597
>Everyone who disagrees with me is the same person
Pussy

FMA only makes sense as an open world/open zone(teleport between areas via train) brawler with your set of tools doing missions in each place you visit.

Just make an HD collection of the PS2 FMA games at this point.

>>713547237 (OP)
Almost certainly not true but I'd be down

>>713547237 (OP)
Tried rewatching Brotherhood a few years ago
I didn't even make it to episode 10
The "comedy" fucking ruins it
It was definitely an anime I loved only because everyone else did

Honestly, i''d prefer a continuation of the 06 anime.

>>713547550
Rosters only got on slot left though.

>>713547237 (OP)

>>713553245
I watched the series a decade ago. I was not impressed with the storyline. It was alright, competent but I struggle to think of something that felt inspirational for other stories to benefit from.

>>713551749
Why would Bamco do that when they can just tell Chunsoft to let some interns throw together a shitty arena fighter on a shoestring budget and have it sell millions anyway
