Hi minna
Well, shortly after ~> this entry <~, I managed to grab Bluebird´s Illusion.
Unfortunately it didn´t come with the original packaging, but who cares XDDDD

So~ of course I´ve tried to play it (weeks ago) and here is the outcome.
I just thought it wouldn´t be a bad idea to share my impressions with you :]

First of all: I don´t understand any Chinese !! (of course XDDD) So midnightbanshee's guide helped me out A LOT !!!
You can find it here ! (*squee* I like that moodtheme XDDD)

For more information, screenshots and stuff check out:
• midnightbanshee´s bbi guide
• blubrdsillusion
• Bluebird´s Illusion - the offical website

Bluebird´s Illusion - Pride Ending

My way through the game (without understanding a thing ! XD)



At first I´ve just taken a short look at midnightbanshee`s guide and then started to play XD
I knew that there were 4 different endings, but I didn´t go for one (^-^;)
So~ ... without understanding a thing, it got pretty boring after some time XDDD (yes EXCUSE me, but that´s how it IS !!)
But there were a lot of interesting scenes and pics and after I was "game over" I started to use midnightbanshee`s guide properly XDDDD
At that time I already knew which ending it would be: Pride Ending (YES !!! XDDDD)
So if you want to know what´s going on there and WHAT exactly the charas are talking about:
Go here ~> midnightbanshee´s guide: pride ending walkthrough
If you don´t understand what´s going on, don´t ask ME !! I don´t understand Chinese at all XDDDD~



Looks pretty delicious to me XDDD
I want Al to cook s.th. for me, too. And unlike Ed I wouldn´t mind if there´s milk in it !!! XDDDDD
Al: "Was it delicious ?"
Ed: "..."
Al: "Was it ???????"
Ed: "Well yes .... (I don´t want to know what he´s put in there)!"
Al: "Heh~ .. well actually I ... you know ..."
Ed: (x___________X#)
(well that´s NOT exactly what they said, but that´s just how it is, isn´t it XDDD *hugs them*)



Oh yes ! Ed loves his job ! He really does !!! Nee, Edo ? *hides*
Every day he has to serve tea to the Fuehrer or Roy XDDD~
But he isn´t good at that ! I wonder why they keep him doing it then *coughs* XDDDD
(have I already mentioned that I LOVE this tiny head-thingie of Al that appears at the end of the text ?? *sukkueeeXD*



*lol* XD Ed (I so love it when he 'looks' like this XD gotta make some icons *___*) and a shadow person :/ ..
Keke Beeeaaan power !!!~
Well, some conversations were pretty interesting, because even I did understand them.
They go like this:
Ed: "......................"
X: "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ....... ???????"
Ed: "..................................................."
X: "????????????????????????????? ......................."
Ed: ".........................................................................."

XDDD I have no words ... oh ... they also have no words XDDD (¬_¬#)



I already had a screencap of Ed in THIS outfit in my last entry, because it fits him just too well XDDDD He´s soooo damn adorable :]
I wonder who his hairdresser is, because I LOVE his hair here ^_______^~ ....... and so does Roy it seems



Yeah ... well ... ano ... eeto ...... how could I possibly say s.th. right now ????? *_________*



Roy - tEh womanizer XDDDDD
well it seems it doesn´t matter who he´s talking to, they are ALL blushing, aren´t they ? XDDDDD
Riza might get jealous o.O; ....



Hueeee~ THAT was a great scene *_____* I love this picture !!!~
He meets his father there O__O Family meeting XD (Ed, Envy, Hohenheim XD)



Ah yeah XD I totally forgot to tell: Ed is missing. Of course he is - see the picture above (he´s playing and having fun with Envy XDD)
So~ Al (and Roy) are trying to find him ^-^
You can choose if you want to search as Al or as Roy :]
As you can see in the screenshot above, I chose Al ^^ Then you get some hints that will help you to find Ed ^-^;
This is a map, so you can choose where you want to go and search for Ed/hints.
And I admit that I´ve used midnightbanshee´s guide: pride ending walkthrough XDD otherwise I wouldn´t have known what to do ^^ .. especially because I didn´t understand a word :P
Buhuuu~ and before I started using her guide, there was one game over XDDD (yesyes you already know XDD)



After you (or rather Al and Roy) have gathered some hints, Al, Riza and Roy think about what to do next.
Well of course they find the place where Ed is hidden (XD) !!~
So Roy and Al go there ...



... and meet some old 'friends' XDDDDD *coughs*
Well, of course the Hommunculi won´t let them through and so you have to fight them XD
That was pretty fun (because you can do it without understanding Chinsese !! Yay ^^)



On the other hand it can take HOURS x____X ... depending on the cards you get and who your opponent is of course .___.
Hoooo~ Roy´s womanizer charm didn´t work on Lust (;___;) Naze ? :P



If you beat the crap out of Gluttony, Lust and Co. you will finally find Ed.
Well the fight continues *kicks Envy* and Al tries to protect his brother ... getting hurt badly after doing so ;___;
The fight is STILL not over and so Roy tries to protect Ed *_____* *kicks Envy more* XD



Well ~ ... after that you can imagine how angry Ed is ^^;; ....
The final battle starts: Ed vs. King Bradley
(that one was very easy compared to my fights against Lust or Gluttony o__O; ...)



Here are some caps of the ending ~



There are some scenes from other 'endings' as well. I´ve only played through the Pride ED so far :)



- TeH End -

......
...........
Well do I really have to write that down ?
Ed becomes a Homunculus, named Pride ^-^ ... and they live happily and .... NARF !
But Ed DOES look good as Homunculus *______*

F A Q:

It´s called SnagIt. I use version 5.2.1 (but there are NEWER ones now).

• The download links have expired. What should I do ?
No problem. Just leave a comment here and I will upload it again ^^b




[x] C.o.m.m.e.n.t if you take these screencaps. If nobody is commenting, I´ll assume this is NOT wanted
      and will stop uploading it!
[x] C_R_E_D_I_T me (= chochajin) if you use them for whatever !!!
      There are no excuses for NOT crediting, because every file has my name on it plus there´s the preview pic
      with my name on it included!
      & How to ?
            Well, please write my lj-name down in your credit/resources list. Either in your userinfo, your credit entry or the actual entry
            (e.g. in an icon post for that you´ve used some of my caps).
            It should look somehow like this:

         

[x] If you don´t credit or if you claim it as yours, it´s STEALING ! I WILL report it to _anti_theft_ /
     _b_u_s_t_e_d_ and add you to the blacklist if that happens !
[x] Absolutely NO Hotlinking !
[x] Enjoy



My Conclusion:
Well this game has a lot of nice pictures and pure eye candy !!
But honestly - it was pretty boring for me - I don´t know if it was only because I don´t understand a word Chinese or because you really can´t DO much in this game (especially at the beginning ^^)
Ok, I will definitely try to play though the other endings as well. But it´s not as great as I thought it would be ^^;;; (well I have to admit that I´m not a great and fanatic *game-player* anyway ^^;; ...)
Well, that´s only my opinion. I know there are a lot of people out there that already have played this game and LOVE it. So if you want to dote on that game, please go ahead :)


Side note:
About that credit thingie XD it was not much work, but the thing is:
I see tons of entries where people ask things like
"Do you know the maker of this icon ?"
"Do you know where this picture is from ?"
"I´m searching for pictures, where you can see ...... do you know where I can find those ?"
And I´m the same ! If I see icons and think wow I would like to know where she/he got the screencaps for these icons, so that I can make some icons, too, and then there´s NO credit - I have to get on s.o.´s nerves to get the information XDDD
Well ... I guess you know what I´m trying to say, so I´ll shut up now :)


Finally:
I really REALLY want to thank midnightbanshee for making the guide !! *bows*
It must have taken hours, weeks and whatnot to do it !! 本当に どうも ありがとう よ!~
Thanks for your hard work ♥♥


バイ・バイ~ (^__^)/
