Being a fan of the anime, I admit, I did soil my pants when I first heard about Full Metal Alchemist: Dual Sympathy for the DS about one and half years ago. The information available on the game at the time, although scant, was promising. I believe the DS is a device with layers upon layers of (yet) untapped potential, and a game based on a franchise that relies so heavily on drawing (alchemy circles) sounded like something that would benefit from the DS’s unique capabilities. Bold statements were made in regard to the game’s “open ended” gameplay.
“Use the stylus to draw your own alchemy circles!”, they said.”Hell yeah!”, I exclaimed.
Alas, as we all know, promises are more often than not, meant to be broken.FMA is the one series that had the highest potential to utilize the DS hardware extensively in creative ways, but it looks like Bandai and Engineer weren’t quite ready to be truly experimental.Fullmetal Alchemist: Dual Sympathy hits American shores on Dec. 15.
