I don't think there's a substitute for the author's story in the author's images. A format other than manga could still do a good job with a great story, but the series is best understood in its original form.
Different medium draws different audience. But getting a novel of FMA out would produce another layer of experience in another kind of depth. As it's master storytelling, it's great storytelling regardless of the medium it is in (my opinion anyway). But I can definitely see all the possibilities in novels.
