Question about Greed please help.....


Alright this is about Greed NOT greedling and can go for both the original series and this one. My question is why would Greed want a armor body like Al's to attach his soul to? I know he wants to become fully immortal and feel no pain or hunger but it seems odd he'd want a body like that. My conclusion is that he's just that obsessed with immortality.

He's greedy. He wants everything. His monologue pretty much explained it.

Yeah i figured i meant why he would want an unattractive metal body.

Greedy people always fall victim to the "grass is always greener..." He probably would want his own body back after a week in suit of armor body.


I got nothing.

Thats kinda what I went with, the "Grass is always greener" approach. Logically it doesnt make sense to me. Al's body is somewhat immortal, but having to deal with the seal is a major weak point. if anyone even scratches it he's dead. I would feel much safer in his humonculuous body than in Al's. plus if he had an armor body he would miss out on a lot of the things his greed craves. he wouldnt be able to enjoy food or women or much of anything of a physical nature. overall it is definitely something i disagreed with him on, but I just chalked it up to his opinion that he's entitled to.
