Royai Tidbits from FMA: To the Promised Day (PSP Game)

There’s this FMA game for PSP that was never released outside Japan (and thus, untranslated). It’s called Fullmetal Alchemist: To the Promised Day. What’s interesting about this game is that it shows what the characters were up to before and during the preparation period for Promised Day. There are a lot of side stories which were not included in the manga and/or anime and most of the stuff are related to character development and/or backstory.

Since I’m Royai trash, I painstakingly watched the entire playthrough of one user (カジ) on Nico Nico Douga to glean as much information about Riza and Roy as I could. I’m not sure if the game is canon, though. I used the image translation function of Google Translate + my meagre knowledge of the Japanese language for the dialogues so I probably missed some of the details, but hey, something is better than nothing, right? Here’s my first official contribution to the Royai community. Cheers!

Please credit/mention my blog when you use the summary/translation for your works. Thanks <3

PS. BEWARE OF SPOILERS FOR THE MANGA/FMA:BROTHERHOOD

EDIT (31.05.2017): I already posted the full translation of Riza and Ed’s conversation here.

#1. Ed and Riza discuss their daddy issues

One of the scenarios that you can unlock in the game involves Riza and Ed talking about their dads. Riza reveals to Ed that her father is also an alchemist, which is why she could empathize with him. She also admits eventually that Roy was her father’s apprentice (and she calls him Mustang-san instead of Colonel as she narrates her story to Ed).

Riza tries to convince Ed to talk to his dad at the very least, while he still has the chance. Then she proceeds to tell him about her relationship with her late father – how she was afraid of him because he was so obsessed with his alchemy, and how Roy (after Berthold’s death) convinced her that her father loved her in his own way (the proof of which was the moment he asked practically begged Roy to apologize to Riza on his behalf and to take care of her). At first Riza doesn’t say who the apprentice was, but in the end, Ed pieces together the clues and figures it out. Ed is left shocked, but thanks Riza for her advice and for revealing a part of her past to him.

#2. Al, Roy and Havoc share their hospital fantasies/preferences

Al visits Roy and Havoc in the hospital after the encounter with Lust. While Riza is away, Havoc begins a conversation about his hospital fantasies. Al (bless his innocent soul) comments that he wouldn’t mind it if Lieutenant Hawkeye took care of him while he’s sick/injured because she seems capable and caring. Havoc then gets this brilliant idea of imagining Riza as a nurse, and then as a doctor. [screenshots from kaji’s playthrough on Nico Nico Douga]

He voices out his opinions on each of the scenarios. He says the nurse uniform would enhance Riza’s feminine hips, while the doctor outfit would emphasize her beautiful legs. Roy just hums/nods in agreement at each of the mental images. This is where the screenshots of Riza as a nurse and doctor come from!! An unamused Riza eventually returns to the room and tells them that she heard everything since she was just outside talking to some other patient. The guys are terrified, and Al quickly excuses himself and rushes out of the room.

#3. Riza goes on a picnic with Ed and Al and reveals more about young!Royai

Riza meets up with the Elric brothers for a picnic. Ed consumes everything in sight and comments that the food she had prepared were really good. Al then points out that Riza is the perfect/best woman because she is beautiful, cooks really well, and is really competent at what she does (or she’s good at work, I was lost in translation!). Riza says that it wasn’t always the case.

She tells them that she had to learn how to cook at a young age since her mother passed away early. At first, she had no idea how to cook, but she had to do so anyway since nobody else would do it for her. Then her father’s apprentice Roy arrived. Riza once tried to prepare a feast for him on his birthday. He gladly ate everything she cooked and enthusiastically praised her for her cooking, even if he ended up running to the toilet afterwards. She was so touched by his kindness that she took up cooking lessons so she can prepare better meals for him. [At this point, I’m not sure if the brothers figured out she was referring to Roy every time she mentioned the apprentice.] Al then says it’s great that she cooks really well now, and asks if there’s someone she’s cooking for. She says there used to be someone, but right now that person can’t eat the food that she prepared. [WE ALL KNOW IT’S ROY!!] The boys thank Riza for the wonderful lunch, and assure her that someday she can cook for and eat with that person again. Awwwww.

Right now I can’t remember if there are other important Royai scenes. Maybe I’ll re-watch (and translate, then summarize) the other scenes if I have time ^__^

Riza and Ed’s conversation from FMA: To the Promised Day

Here’s the full translation of one of the Free Event scenes you can unlock in Fullmetal Alchemist: Yakusoku no Hi (PSP game, untranslated), which I summarized here along with other RoyAi content from the game.

In this mini drama, Riza talks to Ed about his father, alchemy, and her relationship with Roy. It’s both heartbreaking and touching. Make sure you have your tissues ready for Riza and Ed’s daddy issues! (Trust me, after reading this, there’ll be no doubt in your mind that Riza will make a good mother someday. I was seriously crying after re-reading the entire conversation.)

Conversations from Mustang & Hawkeye Story Mode (FMA Dream Carnival Translation)

Here’s the full dialogue translation from the Royai arc of FMA Dream Carnival for PS2 as requested by @prettywitchiusaka! I went all the way and translated the prologue as well BECAUSE MAES HUGHES IS THE BEST EVER BEST FRIEND AND WINGMAN… and so you guys can understand the context of the scene with Barry the Chopper (it’s the epilogue).

In Dream Carnival, the characters form pairs (i.e. Ed x Al, Roy x Riza, Maes x Alex, Lust x Gluttony, Greed x Scar, Winry x Izumi, with the exception of King Bradley who acts as the big boss/final opponent). They fight against each other in the festival/tournament and you get to choose which pair to play as from the Main Menu.

P.S. I tried my best to preserve the tone of each character (i.e. Riza with her polite responses, Alex with his overly formal/archaic way of speaking, etc.), but it’s so difficult since some words/verb forms do not exist in English. I also included some screenshots because Roy and Riza’s reactions are adorable ^__^

Chapter 125: Learning Numbers with Kotarou and Kami-cha

While Ryuuichi is left in the classroom trying to tutor Usokawa on Math (and totally not Hayato escaping from doing the tutoring), Hayato goes ahead to the daycare room to watch over and play with the kids.

As the other kids (and Usaida) take their nap, Hayato notices Kotarou still awake holding a book, and so proceeds to read to him 😄

Setsubun in the Kudou family XD;

It’s tradition to throw beans on setsubun to keep the demons out and the happiness/fortune in, but I always felt like it was a waste.

Yuuichi is adorable and seems like he’ll grow up a great guy! I would have liked to see Kudou dressed as the oni/demon but ah well, lol. So Yuuichi is three here and Kudou 39, going by the beans. And ehoumaki… I actually don’t like it, but I do remember me and my cousins trying to make each other laugh before we finished it, and our parents silently glaring at us to knock it off .__.;;

[kuroyuichan]

So this is from Sachimo-sensei’s birthday post for Miyauchi/Ichirou-mama last year XD; Way late but I wanted to do something sweet because I translated a 3p Sachimo story that made me go wtffff and I needed to clear my headspace LOL.

The thought of their yearly reconfirmation of love makes me so happy T_T I really hope that they put all the side stories that Sachimo-sensei has been releasing in anthologies into a tanko so I can read them (I’m usually not a big fan of omegaverse hence I don’t buy those projects ._.;).

Kashikomarimashita, Destiny 2 page extra in Kono BL ga Yabai!

So, the Kono BL ga Yabai book had this 2 page Kashikomarimashita, Destiny extra.Yuuto is telling him not to serve Ooba’s table ‘cuz of his habit of sexual harassment. Remember this guy? Well, him. 

Anyways, Miya says that since Ooba’s company is thriving they have to make sure to have a good long relationship with him, and that him putting his hands on his lower back isn’t a big deal. Plus he can’t let other servants do it. Yuuto lets it go, and fixes his hair, to which Miya says that why is he in charge of fixing his hair. Yuuto says ‘cuz he lets him touch his hair, and Miya says he doesn’t remember giving him permission. Then Yuuto tells him not to let anyone other than him touch him. Miya asks if that’s an order from the head butler. And Yuuto says it’s from his husband, and that he can’t concentrate ‘cuz he’s going to worry.
