We will start our adventure driving Logi, a young man eager to have the power to protect the world. Invoke, gather and evolve more than 50 characters designed with every level of detail. In many aspects it is reminiscent of the Final Fantasy Tactics style of game, as the combats take place in several turns: first we will have to move through the different squares, then choose the attack we want to execute and, finally, choose the direction in which our character will be facing. The Alchemist Code is a stunning SPRG or tactical role-playing game for mobile devices. Master the arcane power of Alchemy and change the fate of the world! Change the world with the power of alchemy Master the arts of alchemy and protect a world divided by more than 50 unique and charismatic characters.
So in the functional aspect, the diagrams and symbols in the transmutation circle serve as an "energy manipulation chamber" to harness for specific alchemical uses.If you like classic and tactical Japanese role-playing games, this title from the Gumi Studio will steal your heart. the geometric symbols (triangles, squares and other polygons) represent various elements (water/earth/fire/air), and other symbol-like runes which direct and manipulate the energies in more specific ways. My interpretation is that this embodiment of a principle of Alchemy helps the transmutation take place, but it is unnecessary if the alchemist has been to The Gate, thus embodying the principle of Alchemy by himself.Īs for function, the transmutation circle harnesses the energy from the earth or substrate that the circle is drawn on (compare the energy sources of Amestris and Xing). The symbolic meaning is in the cycle of energy and life, where Equivalent Exchange ensures that objects are never created nor destroyed, but changed into different forms. The alchemists are able to use their missing parts to bridge the gap separating them from this god-like being, and thus transmute seemingly at will.Īlphonse, not having a physical body at all with which to form a bridge, is unable to skip the "hard formula" at first, but upon re-visiting the experience in his own mind, he forces himself to build this "bridge" and can transmute naturally from then on.Īccording to the Fullmetal Alchemist Wiki, transmutation circles have a symbolic and functional aspect. If one assumes the figure at the gate (which takes peoples' body parts) is god (or at least, the source of alchemy), then him "wearing" an alchemists parts (pardon the term) is essentially giving that alchemist a very subtle, yet powerful connection on a mental level. Remember how Barry the Chopper lost his body? Well, his soul (in the armor) was able to sense his body's presence (and vice-versa). The second possible explaination is more of an unintended side effect. Knowing this base code, alchemists are able to use the "soft" formula to a greater extent, and do not require the assistance of a "hard" formula in order to transmute. Looking beyond the gate exacts a toll from you, which is then used to "pay" for the privilege of seeing the base code of the universe. They see it as the 'reward' for losing part of yourself when you looked beyond the gate. The first follows the anime/manga rigidly, and interprets Izumi's words literally. On the subject of people who can transmute without circles, there are two different schools of thought.
This is the part that actually shapes what should happen, while the "hard formula" is used to gather the required energy/ handle the heavy lifting. The "soft formula" comes from the mind of the alchemist. There is always some part of the human mind that is involved in a transmutation (otherwise, Mustang's gloves would only be able to mess with the air in a very select pattern), but in general more complicated transmutations will require a more robust "hard formula". The transmutation circles contain the formulae and/or specific incantation needed to carry out a function.
