Fullmetal Alchemist and the Broken Angel is the first of the Fullmetal Alchemist RPGs to be brought to the US, using the FUNimation english cast who are working on the anime series. The Racjin branch of Square Enix developed and published the Japanese version of the game in December 2003. It was localized and brought to the US in January 2005.
Plot
Taking place between episodes 17 and 18 of the anime, the game begins with the Elric brothers (somewhat unwillingly being escorted by Major Alex Lewis Armstrong) heading to Central City via train. As Ed moans, Al consoles, and Alex flexes, the train is suddenly attacked by terrorists. The skirmish eventually ends with one destroyed train and the brothers in the town of New Heissgart, looking for a ride to Central. There, they meet a girl named Armony & learn more of the Philosopher's Catalyst, an item nearly as powerful as the Philosopher's Stone itself, but used to increase the efficiency of alchemy. The Philosopher's Catalyst seems to be directly linked with the berserk chimeras running about, the rogue military force, and the gathering of alchemists in the town. The Elrics soon find that their simple mission for a train turns into much more as they learn about the Catalyst and the dark mysteries surrounding it.
