When will Bluebird's Illusion be released in America?
Never. Bluebird's Illusion is a fan made game from China, although it looks amazingly similar to the anime. It is rumored there were only 100 "official" copies in existence. Also, if you've ever seen pictures of Ed in military uniform, as Pride, or in a dress that look like they're from the anime, it's actually this game.



What about Dream Carnival?
It doesn't look promising. It has been reported that sales of the first two Fullmetal Alchemist games did so poorly in America, there is a good chance the rest of the games will not be brought over from Japan.



Who is that skater girl that links to the Shorts and Tributes section?
Square-Enix held a contest inviting young writers to create a story either based off an unnamed character drawn by a famous manga artist, or using original characters. The winner would have their story published professionally. Arakawa created this raven haired girl on rollerblades.
