New World

The New World was created by Tifa. Following her death and revival at the hands of Vesta Dyre Meiriella, Tifa developed an affiliation with the darkness- the powers of the Heartless. In a conflicting battle with herself in Central City, Tifa ultimately released a wave of Heartless so vast that they consumed not only the world of Full Metal Alchemist, but due to the unstable state of the worlds at the time, were able to consume parts of other worlds

as well. Only the efforts of Netami Kihaku managed to seal away this darkness, and in the final moments of the worlds as they were Tifa put forth all her effort to stem the tides, saving parts of the worlds.

The result was the remnants of the old worlds grouping together into a new one: the New World, one with tremendously altered geography; for example, London and Tokyo now occupy the same continent, and the Hidden Leaf Village's new location in the heart of the Demon Woods. These startling changes have completely altered the world forever, and more of the New World is being discovered day by day.

At present there are three known major landmasses in the New World. These are the Western Continent, the Eastern Continent and the Akuji Darklands.
