I think they should've done more with Winry & Lust. For instance, instead of her stone being destroyed, right before Lust dies, one of her fellow her fellow Homunculai, Pride, saves it to give to Father so he can revive her later. And to make good on their threat for Winry's life, the Homunculai catch her and bond her with Lust's stone, making Winry her reincarnation just like how Ling was bonded with Greed. This of course devastates everyone especially the Elric brothers, but of course through true love Ed frees Winry towards the end of the series and destroys Lust once and for all. What do you think? It would've given more plot to Winry.

Can someone please explain how the Gate works?

Spoilers.

So every person has their own Gate which connects them to the highest being, that Eye-like creature, allowing them to perform alchemy. By paying a toll, you can enter the Gate and access knowledge of alchemy from its source. When you go through your Gate, you enter the Eye's domain.

So if the Gate is supposed to take you there, why do we see alchemists using it as a door back to reality?

• When Edward, Ling and Envy were trapped in Gluttony, Edward says that they can get back to reality by going through the real Gate.

• Edward sacrifices his own Gate and we see him taking Alphonse back through his Gate, since they are linked. Why did they need a Gate? Aren't they teleported to and from Truth's white domain without the need of the Gate?

• Roy says that he can't sacrifice his own Gate, because then he'd have no way back.

• There are various instances of characters being pulled by shadowy arms into the Gate, but end up in reality instead of the Eye's domain.

So can someone please tell me what the Gate's function is, where it leads to and what the Eye does? I'm only on Episode 28, but I've been accidentally spoiled, so sorry if this is explained later.

Happy FMA day!

So after ending a TV show i always have that feeling of sadness that my time with the characters has finished, but man this time it feels different and idk why. Anyways just felt the need to share this and wondering if y'all know what im talking about.

In Xing, both Princes and Princesses can vie for the throne, but what would happen if one of the Princesses won, and became Empress? How would their system work? It's very unlikely that an Empress would be able to have 50 kids, at least not biologically? So, surrogates? Adoption? What do you guys think would happen?

As I said in the title, please tell me what does this symbol means??
