It was rather interesting that I happened to chanced upon this video clip again in 2, no 3 years:
Bluebirds are commonly associated with happiness, but I’m not sure it is the case for this Visual Novel (I haven’t had the chance to read it yet). From what I heard so far, all does not end well for the Elric brothers…
Well, if you had not caught the drift yet, Bluebird’s Illusion(青鳥の虛像) is a fan-made visual novel based on anime/manga: Full Metal Alchemist, the story branches off from the first anime(Not brotherhood), as an alternate timeline where Edward had successfully restored Alphonse body after 5th year of researching human transmutation.
Made by a few FMA fans in college, this visual novel was short lived, only a 100 copies was sold in it’s lifetime before they were stopped due to violation of copyright, and judging from the quality of the opening video, their(the makers of Bluebird’s Illusion) cg images could rival the real thing.
Which is a real pity, as many die-hard fans it would definitely purchase one. More information on the game could be obtained here @ http://bluebirds-illusion.webs.com/
