Talk:Alphonse Elric

Age Conflicts with Information of OVA
In the third OVA, Edward Elric is supposed to be celebrating his 100th birthday in 2005. If that is the case, then Edward Elric was born 1905, and therefore Alphonse (whom is younger) couldn't possibly have been born in 1900. Where is the evidence that Al is born in 1900?

Actualy, all the the dates in the article are true. Amestris uses a diffrent calendar then Earth. Edward was born in 1899, not 1905, so Alphonse was born in 1900. The dates in the article are from Amestris' calendar, not earth's. Sanlador, 15:25, July 30, 2007.

Clean-up
I am disappointed by the quality of this article. There's no section about Alphonse's conception and creation, there's barely any out-universe information, and the page fails to adequately describe the character thanks to a lack of 'Personality' and 'Appearance' sections. Unless if someone does some serious working up on this article, I'm afraid it's gonna stay a Start-class page. End of line. Cat&#39;s Tuxedo 16:38, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Al's age?
There seems to be a conflict within the article... it lists his age as 10--16, but it says "After helping to defeat the invasion, Al, wanting to remain with Ed, follows him back to the Other World to help him close the physical gate. When Al passes through the gate he regains the memories of his life with Ed after attempting to transmute their mother, and also returns to his proper age of 17 (he should have been 15 by the end of the series). He then sets out with Edward to recover a nuclear bomb brought into the brothers' original world." Shouldn't it be 10--17?

Under Character Outline & Personality, "He basically stays the same age in the armor" seems kind of vague. Would "His physical body does not age while his soul is sealed inside the armor" be better? And does anyone have a source for the statement "These traits are considered as childish tendencies- the reason is said to be because he has a stunted emotional maturity... from not growing physically at all"? I don't remember this being mentioned in the manga or anime...Coco la Nut (talk) 03:58, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Trivia
This article has a lot details, some of them speculative, that make it look like a fan site. Compare with Edward_Elric VasileGaburici (talk) 22:35, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
