Dialogue Missing
On page 15, the small word bubble on the last pannel is empty. Originally, Shou Tucker simply said "In that case.." and continued his wording in the next page.

Name Change
Despite confusions with R's and L's in Japan, Ishval is refered to as Ishvar. Note that the anime and manga names for the location are also differently spelled, even with the confusions of V and B. So to clear things up..

Manga = Ishval
Anime = Ishbal

Dialogue Change
Every time Al calls Ed or mentions him, he's always calling him Ed or Edward. The problem with this is that Al never referes to Ed by his name. He's always calling him "nii-san," or rather, "brother" or "big brother."

Dialogue Slip Up
Kiri calls Dr. Marcoh by his real name, despite how he's told the villagers a different name. Originally she just called him "Doctor."

Wording Goof
Oops. Looks like for the extra mini-comic they did regarding Ed's height got abit of a mix up. They switched his total height with his body height. Original, the longer bar was supposed to be for total height. The shorter was for body height. Viz switched it around, probably by mistake.

Thoughts
Not cuts or edits, just a few goof ups here and there. Aside from that, everything's looking fine and dandy.
