Did I miss something?

Parallel world, son. Parallel world.

To answer something previously:

Spoiler:

Gluttony was changed by Dante/Lyra. He kept asking for Lust, and she put pressure on his Oroborus--which was on his tongue. So, he became a mindless little bugger.

Edward didn't get his arm and leg back because HUMAN TRANSMUTATION IS WRONG! Anyway, that's why--no transmutation.

Wrath is the homunculus created when Izumi tried to bring back her baby. Because he was so deformed, she returned him back to the gate. So, when Edward did his transmutation of his mother, Wrath was there waiting for the arm and leg.

Alphonse didn't die because Edward was able to save his soul and keep it in his world by the blood mark using Ed's blood. His body went into the gate.

The reason Homunculi don't have souls is because you can't transmute them. The human body is made up of different compounds, which they are checking off a list at the beginning of the transmutation of their mom.

I can't remember why Hohenheim couldn't return to the alchemic world. I think it had to do with his body wasting away. As for why Envy hated him....Well, he IS Edward's brother, you know. That's right, Envy is the homunculus that resulted when Hohenheim tried to bring THAT child back. And guess who was there to help? Dante!

Spoiler:

If you remember, Winry accused Ed and Al of never crying--never shedding a tear. Plus, they are boys, you know. They don't cry--although I think Ed was crying when Al's soul had to leave. It sounded like it to me.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I think it's from the middle ages and there were also alchemists trying to make gold and the philosopher stone was real too. I don't know about the place though. It looks russian and all. That song Bratja (Brothers): what language is it in? It sounds russian. Also it is played by a russian orchestra.

The gypsie song was Kelas btw.

I don't think it's middle ages.

Since it's a parallel world, I think it's just a few years off. And, I think Ed's world is ALSO what we know as Germany. And, to be hinest....I thought that before the movie.

There's a very "German" feel to the villages and architecture in the anime. I'm not sure I can explain it any better.

Hmmm...now that I think about it....."Shadow of Destiny" by Konami is a game centered on alchemy that takes place in Germany.....

I didn't think Germany played that much of a role in alchemy.....

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
