Brave fencer musashi is a title that is not intended to be anything like Final Fantasy games. That is probably why it was not actually given the Final fantasy title. I wish that people would stop comparing it to said title. Same company does mean same games. Overall, however, BFM is very fun game that still has me stuck on the last level, but thats because I'm lazy. Don't read too much into the voice acting. It is meant to make you laugh, not to mention it is squaresofts first attempt at voice acting in games.

Musashi is a long game in which you don't get bored, why?, the reason is that Musashi gets new habilities during the whole game, he also can absorb his enemy's power with a powerful sword called lumina, the other sword can absorb the elements scrolls like water, fire, earth, wind and sky.I recomend this game because you will get a lot of fun and never get bored with it.
Buy it this is one way to spend your money rightly

Short And Sweet!

First of all, if you are expecting a lengthy text ridden Final Fantasy or Xenogears type of RPG, look elsewhere... Musashi is a legendary swordsman in Japan and in this game you will get to control him throughout chapters that take you all over the place and meet fun new people and enamies alike. Musashi weilds two swords that each serve there purpous and are very fun to use. This is a Squarsoft made game so expect a very nice soundtrack and some nice graphics as well. Yeah Musashi's voice is a little on the childish side but maby thats because well....HES A CHILD. And it never bothered me since he is a uber powerhouse and a legendary swordsman. There is also a night/day system and certain shops will be open at certain times making the town feel alive. Also, like any good rpg there are tons of unique items and relics to collect throughout the game and side quests abound! So yeah this game is great and its getting hard to find for cheap so go get yourself a copy and enjoy, Brave Fencer Musashi!

Final Fantasy meets Zelda.

I remember having a demo of this game as a kid and I loved to play the demo. Now, I saw it for 15$ and decided to get it. It's better than I remembered.

GAMEPLAY: A fine mix of action, Zelda, and RPG. You play as Musashi, the summoned hero. Slaying enimies and solving tricky puzzles in the dungeons. Kinda like Zelda. Musashi has two swords, Fusion, which can swipe fast and turn enimies into powers, [like Kirby] and Lumina, which is slow, powerful, and when you find the Scrolls, can use element power. There is much more things to do, but I'll let you find that on your own.

GRAPHICS: They kind of look like FFVII's graphics: Very pologonal characters, but a bit more detailed this time.

MUSIC/SOUND: As usual, very good.

VOICE: This is the first Square game to have voice acting. The voices can be kind of cheesy, but are very good for a first attempt.

Overall, a great game. If you like Zelda, you will like BFM.

Great hack/slash with RPG

This game focuses on what people who dont like ATP/turn based like to do hack and slash for the fun of it! The main character "Musashi" is quite nice looking weilding (sorta) two swords. Also the ability to absorb enemys makes it so that you can endless hours of fun checking what each enemy does using it etc. Dont mention its real time (to a point) you can fall asleep and watch people go about their business on their own. The other characters can be somewhat annoying (princess), but it does not *kill* the game. Good job all around Square. Think of it as Zelda with the ability to "level."

Samurai Greatness!!!

Okay, long ago I played this game, for a very short time at that. Once for five minutes when a neighbor brought it over (and sadly I never saw him again) and another time on a demo for about the same amount of time. Then I bought this and it was AWESOMELY AWESOME! Then also when the sequal/remake of the game Samurai Legend: Musashi, it was JUST AS AWESOME IF NOT EVEN MORE!!!!!!!!! YOU MUST BUY THE GAME NOW! ALSO THE SECOND ONE!!!

This game is TOO AWESOME to describe!!!

This game is AWESOME!!! I played the demo of it, and as soon as I finished the demo, I knew I had to play the full version. So one day I rented it. It was a BLAST!!! I fell COMPLETELY in love with game!!! Oh! And I expect the same thing in the sequel. That's right, the sequel!!! It's due March 2005, and is called Musashi Samurai Legend!!! So if you liked the first game, expect HIGH hopes from the sequel!!!

What may have turned many fans away (even me at first) about this game is that it is on the outside targeted towards children. While Final Fantasy always had a deep plot with strong characters, this one does not. Instead we get a game that is more in tune with that of a Saturday Morning Cartoon.

The story here is that an evil force is attacking the kingdom in order to take it over. The Princess and her council cast a spell to retrieve the Legendary Brave Fencer Musashi. They expect this tall muscular Adult Warrior and instead they get a child. Distraut at first they send him on a quest to retrieve his sword and release the five scrolls so that the evil can be stopped.

The gameplay is that of an Action RPG. You gain experience points in fighting but also on how you do things to a certain degree. You use your swords to fight but also your short sword can be charged and then thrown at your opponents to absorb their abilities. You may find that the weakest of creatures could have the most usuful of abilities, and vice versa.

This game is deceptivly deep and challenging. The Bosses are for the most part Hard, yet incredible to fight. Also just to tease RPG fanatics there is a Toy Collecting Mini game of sorts. You can remove the toys from the packaging but then their value goes down if you choose to resell the toys (take that Fanatics). Overall this is a great game to play and I am looking forward to the PS2 followup for sometime next year. If your not into Final Fantasy than give this one a shot, you may be surprised at how much you enjoy it.
