Fullmetal Alchemist Gets an RPG

And here is a trailer!

  
   
There can be no better combination that exists that beat the golden pair of RPGs and anime; even though there really hasn’t been a good mashup of the two yet. I have hope that in the future someone will make an awesome game that combines the two. I’m going off topic here, so here is the new Fullmetal Alchemist RPG for the PSP called Fullmetal Alchemist: To the Promised Day. We have heard about this RPG for some time, but finally we can see what it really looks like.

It appears to be a turn-based RPG that takes its story from the new Brotherhood anime. We also get to see the combo system in play. Hopefully it comes to America sometime soon, and I would think that is more than likely seeing as how popular the series is doing here in the States.

Man, I hope it's actually good. I played one of those shitty Square Enix RPGs that they put out for FMA forever ago, and they were teeeeerrible. I know you don't have to put as much effort into a franchise title as you might, say, a Final Fantasy game, but come on, it was like someone just pooped it out in their spare time. Blech. 
 
And the real tragedy is that no one has brought over the one supposedly GOOD FMA game, Fullmetal Alchemist: Dream Carnival, which is a fighting game and supposed to be pretty nice. :\

I thought it already had a RPG? Maybe that was a different game I was thinking about. I knew they had  a PS2 game. They never seem to bring games like this to the US often.
 
I wish they had brought the Code Geass RPG to the US. It was for the DS.

I can't trust anime video games just like movie video games.

@gia:

All you need to know about FMA video games is this, they are based off a series with an ensemble cast and almost all the games has Ed as the only playable character.  I mean their is absolutly no excuse not to have Al, and Mustang as playable characters.

 

Though I will also say this Namco Bandai has fallen on hard times, and the only developers they have that I trust is Banpresto.  The rest are just unspeakably awful.  
 
Frankly the graphics don't impress me, and I question how this is going to work when a large amount of the cast is constantly changing.  Sure Ed, and Al are going to be in a significant part of the series but the third and fourth characters are going to be constantly changing. 
 
Something like the musou adaptations, and the Queen's blade  SRPG would be better.

Yet anime made out of a video game can work out soooo well!
