The most infamous ending is definitely the Pride!Ed ending. There are three main endings plus one joke ending. and the beginning is honestly pretty boring to play, it gets darker and in fact this game has no happy endings. While the game at first is pretty lighthearted with lots of jokes about Ed’s height, about Roy’s avoidance of paperwork, Breda’s fear of dogs etc. Plus the homunculi are still watching in the background. To restore Al’s body, Edward made some sort of deal with the Homunculi but his current body isn’t good enough to hold his soul and it’s starting to disappear. It’s called Bluebird’s illusion because the brother’s seeming happiness is just an illusion that cannot last. (I’m going to be spoiling this games plot pretty liberally just for the warning.)

However all is not well… (Long post by the way). He still works for the military and has just started a new job as the Fuhrer’s secretary. So, the story takes place in a seemingly happy future where Ed has restored his brother’s body and now lives with Al in a lovely house in Central. The manga was of course far from finished at this point and perhaps what drew plenty of attention to this little fanproject was its speculations. It’s based on the FMA manga but was clearly heavily influenced by the anime as well with it’s cute artstyle and much of the music. I’ve recently tried it out so why don’t I share? One of the more interesting things to come out of the FMA fandom is this fanmade visual novel called Bluebird’s illusion.
