Hi...

I think you're not looking the situation from a "realistic" -of some sorts- point of wiew. Let's start.

Firstly, if my mind doesn't fail, Arakawa-sensei stated that she intended to create the series and finish it without ANY plot-holes, unanswered questions (if any, read Fullmetal Alchemist Chronicle, a databook written by Arakawa and published in 2011) ,or hangouts for a sequel. In her words -and mind- are right, she made the series' span on her own conception; it lasted what she seemed to need to last, and didn't kept dragging out like other Shonen series.

Secondly, Arakawa-sensei started a slice-of-life series titled "Silver Spoon" which portrays the daily farm life (don't know how to say) she carried since ever. Therefore, Arakawa is pretty busy to ever work in Fullmetal Alchemist again, given that Silver Spoon won the Shogakukan Manga Award in 2012 and has to mantain or even increase its quality.

With this on mind, we can conclude that Fullmetal Alchemist doesn't need to spawn sequels in order to "meet the taste" of the fans. Everything has been solved in 108 chapters, a number of side stories (included the last one), and we can have fun with the videogames based in some of these stories.

However, we can expect a crossover between Fullmetal Alchemist and -its true sister series and spiritual successor- Soul Eater. Besides, let's focus on supporting Soul Eater in order to have a Brotherhood-like case and aim for a crossover.

Thanks for the space.
