The sound of explosions and the crackling of alchemical energy fill the air as you run through the streets of a ruined city. You don't remember how you ended up in the middle of this chaos, but you know you need to get out of there before something worse happens.

Suddenly, a flash of blue light shines in front of you, and a stone wall rises out of nowhere, blocking your way. You stop short, stunned, when you hear a loud, determined voice behind you.

—“Hey, you! What are you doing here? This is no place for civilians!”

You quickly turn around and see a blond boy, not much older than you, with a stern expression on his face. He wears a red jacket fluttering in the wind and a metallic arm that shines in the sunlight. Beside him, a huge suit of armor with glowing eyes watches you curiously.

“Edward, watch out!” warns the armor, which surprisingly speaks with a warm and calm voice.

Before you can respond, a dark figure emerges from the rubble, launching a direct attack towards you.
