Yeah I agree. Where's the source to "Arakawa told BONES how FMA would end"? In the manga omake showing the creative process between Arakawa and BONES for the original anime, it didn't indicate at all that Arakawa told them anything. In fact, she told them not to tell her how the anime would end so she could watch it on TV for herself iirc.

...You can't expect anyone to still have a link to a piece of news that was probably released like 6 or 7 years ago.
Best I could find now was this, where she says that the conclusion for the series had already been decided at the start of serialisation. She just didn't know how she would get there. If she already had it planned, it's not a stretch to believe she'd share it with BONES. I'm sure there's more solid proof than this around though, but hey, believe what you wanna believe. |

I heard differently.
Basically, BONES consulted with Arakawa with regard to how the story would most likely end, given that the manga was far from ending at the time. Eventually, it led her to actually spill the beans on what she had in mind, but she told BONES not to end it in the same way so that readers will still have something to look forward to in the manga. The discussion explains the comparisons that have been said in this thread, but the differences are still there. |

Well, it doesn't matter in the long run. The manga is still the manga, and the original anime will be the original anime. They're both complete original stories and it should matter whether the team had any special hints about how the manga would eventually conclude.
What will be more interesting will be how the current anime adapts the rest of the manga. |

Spoiler for omake:
The official german translation (which is pretty accurate most of the time and is the one I have a hard copy of) translates it like that too, stating she revealed the manga end to Bones. I always took that as the truth, even so it is an omake. But why would Arakawa put it there otherwise? ~+~+~ Now to 107: WOA! Was on the edge of my seat after all! Spoiler for 107:

I have the English manga, and the translation is completely different. This is what it says:
"From their questions... ....I could feel the passion of the creative process! Even if that were so, I felt I needed to get serious about this too... Which is why the original ending is set to be one heck of a show!!" Does anyone have the original Japanese scan? I don't have the Japanese volumes of FMA on hand at the moment. |

It's kinda sad to be saying this, but I actually trust (good) fan translators more than Viz's "profissionals", whose translations were notoriously bad and changed the meaning of many lines here and there. And to think that to this day they still use "Cselkcess" for "Xerxes"...

The Viz release is not perfect but lately I think some of the scanlations are not great either. There seems to be a lot of creative translation to say the least.
Still I have read in other places besides that Omake that Arakawa had the ending planned from the beginning and asked Bones to give the first anime a different ending.

I don't the have the volumes at hand now but Im pretty sure they don't make thouse sort of things anymore. Or maybe because it is just not mentioned as much so I don't notice it :P I do like that they called Greedling Grin instead, much better name than the fan sans IMO
Spoiler for anyway, 108 predictions:
