History VideoGame / FullmetalAlchemistAndTheBrokenAngel

''Fullmetal Alchemist and the Broken Angel'' is an 2003 action role-playing game developed by Racjin and published by Creator/SquareEnix for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 console and is the first ever ''Franchise/FullmetalAlchemist'' video game released. The story penned by Hiromu Arakawa takes place between episodes 17 and 18 of the [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist2003 2003 anime]], when Edward and Alphonse are on their way to Central City after their return from Resembool. However, their train gets derailed by a terrorist group, forcing the brothers to reach their destination on foot. While on their way, they are attacked by chimeras and meet a girl named [[MacGuffinGirl Armony]], who leads them to the town of New Heissgart. Her father turns out to be Professor Wilhelm Eiselstein, an old friend to Ed and Al, and one of the greatest Alchemists in the world with knowledge on catalysts (the study that makes alchemy even more efficient) and researching an artifact known as the Philosopher's Catalyst, which has powers equaling that of the Philosopher's Stone. This Philosopher's Catalyst seems to be directly linked with all the alchemists and military men gathering on the city as well as the berserk chimeras rampaging across the countryside. The Elrics soon stumble into a sinister plot even darker than expected with the good professor at the center of it.

* DropTheHammer: One of Al's weapons can be a huge hammer roughly 10 feet long.

* BonusBoss: A unique variant [[spoiler:the final boss duo (Roy Mustang and Major Armstrong)]] is fought after the climax boss, though required for 100% completion by granting unique items, is not necessary to win. This bonus boss is the hardest in the game. Winning or losing will not change the ending.

* MsFanservice: Not only are her looks based on Lust (one of the series' holders of this title), but Camilla's outfit is ''even more'' revealing since she [[BareYourMidriff bares her abdomen]] and has some {{underboobs}} thrown in for some good measure. Hawkeye to a lesser extent, in her secretary-esque Margot disguise.
