That would be interesting but not very Shounen... I think FMA might ultimately follow the rules of its genre and have a happy ending to some extent. If Ed and Al don't get their bodies back by the end of the series, why did Arakawa have to bother with her 100-and-something-chapter, nearly-10-years-in-the-making epic, anyways? Every plot summary of FMA only mentions that the whole story is the story of two brothers searching for a way to get their bodies back; I think having it end any other way might defeat the whole manga's purpose. In conclusion, I'm predicting that some characters might be killed off in the process, but Ed and Al will be able to fufill their long quest in the end.
