FMA FES - Roy & Edward
I’m a bit seiyuu fan, so when I heard there were original Roy & Ed moments in it, I had to buy the “Fullmetal Alchemist FESTIVAL” DVD released in 2004 (a recording of a live event with voice actors and other artists of the FMA03 series). As far as I know, there hasn’t been an english translation yet.
Below are the new narrations by Ed’s and Roy’s voice actors together, respectively Romi Park and Okawa Toru. Sorry for the crappy quality of the videos, I had to take them with my phone while I was watching the DVD on TV.
--- FMA 03 end of series spoilers ---
Edward, alone, has a brief monologue about coming to understand that he cannot turn a blind eye to all the wrongdoings committed by others anymore, only focusing on his own dream. That’s a monologue that is similar to the one in the final scene he has with Mustang in episode 48, “Goodbye”.
And that’s the same scene Okawa and Park re-enact live right after. You can rewatch the original scene here:
Immediately after this anime scene’s live dubbing ends, they let us hear Roy and Ed’s thoughts about their last interaction, those good-byes. Video here.
Ed: “What else was I supposed to say at that moment?” (enjoy Romi Park’s voice cracking here…)
Roy: “I thought that one day, we would have walked the same road. But I was wrong, our paths were very different.
Ed: “You think so? In the end, I feel like they were the same after all. But there's no use in realising that now...
I died, and was brought back by Al’s sacrifice. So there was only one option I had left.”
[the anime’s actual scene resumes with Ed sacrificing himself to bring back Al.]
As soon as Ed “dies”, Roy’s monologue begins.
