I know I might be the target of much hatred for posting this, but that ending wasn't as good as advertised. It felt more like an epilogue, and less of a final chapter - 107 pretty much wrapped up the final struggle against Father. This chapter just tied up the loose ends and reached a resolved the characters' respective sub-plots (most of what happened were what fans wanted to see) . Nonetheless, it was a great ride. This was one of the first manga I've read, and I've followed it for the past 4+ years. Certainly one of the best I've laid my eyes on. 9/10 overall.
Pretty much agree with your sentiment. While this epilogue chapter was nice, it did feel a bit generic of an ending. Of course, I'm always one for happy endings, and this one definitely fit that bill, but I was hoping for a bit more surprises at the end than what we were presented with. I'm a little disappointed with how little there covering some of the other major characters (i.e., Roy, Riza, Izumi, etc.) but I guess it was okay. Again, everything seemed to turn out perfectly in the end, but after all of the shit the Elric brothers went through, I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
9/10 final.
