We all remember the glory days of Squaresoft. For a while there, it looked like they were on their way to monopolizing the #Playstation library, but all good things must come to an end, and just like the 90's, the #RPG eventually faded. Were there a few hits left largely undiscovered by the gaming masses? Do we have another Parasite Eve or Vagrant Story on out hands? Let's take a look at Brave Fencer Musashi!

I've been saying this game was terribly underrated since the 90s, and glad it seems like it's finally starting to get some credit! Great review, and glad you covered this one! Squaresoft during the 90s is pure gold. When it comes to graphics, gamers are jaded plain and simple. You will never hear me say "didn't age well".

The English voice over for this game was handled by Animaze, the same folks who brought you the legendary English dubs of Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell in anime and did the Ace Combat and .hack series in the PS2 era, so these guys definitely knew their way around solid localized voice acting. The sequel though, now there's some truly abysmal voice acting.

my dad took me to a pawn shop, back in '98, just to look around, and i found this game there. complete, near mint, and only $15. i had never heard of this game before, but when i saw it was done by square, and had the FFVIII demo disc, i knew i had to get it! turns out musashi was a great game all on it's own as well! i still have it in my collection:)

daaamn i remember i played this game when i was like 10 years old and i totally loved it, by that time i was crazy for Ocarina of Time and for me this was almost on par with it, to me it was like a parody of OoT (Not literally), the self-aware dialog was hilarious, it was like watching an anime, back then i thought this was the ULTIMATE RPG, it was so addictive, it took me a lot of time to finish it, it was one of those games that didnt hold your hand, you had to explore and speak with the NPCs to find out where to go and back then there werent any guides or internet where i could find my way and never i felt tired of it, its a Gem.

It's kind of amazing how I haven't thought of this game in years, but the music and voice lines bring back semi-weepy amounts of nostalgia. Haha, weird how neurons can fire up and bring back moments that you didn't even know you have forgotten and turn them back into clear fond memories.

ahh the nostalgia, I remember as a kid we didn't have internet at home so there's no way of researching what games are good so when my brother and I went to buy PS1 games we just look at the covers and get the coolest ones and obviously this game is one of them!! ahhhh I miss the old days. looking back, I remember not caring much about the voice acting in video games, but as an adult I can say this game has one of THE BEST voice acting performances during that time even now really.

One of those hidden gems that went under the radar Brave Fencer Musashi is a wonderful game. I discovered it by accident and I love it. I grateful for my copy and years later after hearing about it again gives me the thought of probably playing it again for old times sake. A game I would like to say maybe could use a remake but I feel that they shouldn't mess with the voice acting since the acting I think is the best for it's time. I'm glad someone is aware of it since you don't see much videos of this game. Thanks for bringing back the memories of this game. I need to play this again sometime.

I'm used to Snes/Saturn prices so it's not so bad. PS1 seems to be catching up to those though, Valkyrie profile and Klonoa are the highest prices I've seen on PS1. Emulation is an option, but for games I can't afford I import (JP versions are much cheaper) or get a "backup", my system is modded

I know the SNES can be easily emulated by most devices nowadays. Don't know much about the Saturn to be honest. Always wanted to try it though, but the physical hardware is expensive and prone to failing nowadays and I've only found one Saturn emulator that is very hit and miss (would love to try Panzer Dragoon).

I think games with visuals like this age so well because of the limitations mixed with a great art style, a limited set of tools makes the artist get creative. I love how pretty games are today, but strict limitations of hardware were what made fantastic art design shine through in gems like this one. Another great video man, refreshing to see another video, not that I didn't like the RE Retrospective.

Best misinterpretation I've ever gotten myself into.

I'm sure you'll review them all eventually but good luck with Xenogears. I loved it back in the day but the last time I tried to play it I just couldn't do it. I was about 50 hours in and not even off the first disc. I know Disc 2 is a lot shorter but...it just doesn't hold up. Honestly better left in my memory of rainy summers.

I'm still new to this game, I just finished the first steamwood section recently. Didn't grow up with PS1 and I've been slowly catching up, and I've been getting a hold of square's non final fantasy games like Einhänder Enjoying it a lot so far, I've heard it can be frustrating but so far I haven't had any problems I noticed the movement speed last time I played, but when I switched to analog he suddenly instantly runs at full speed at all times, it's strange but I think maybe you're intended to switch between plus and stick movement to fit the situation, plus is better for exact careful movement. The stamina level will also affect your movement speed, sleeping fixes it. I'm still planning on getting Threads of fate, Xenogears, and Vagrant story soon. I'll probably enjoy Tactics too.

Hmm, I don't remember this game when I was a kid, as it came out when I was 12 years old. I did have a Playstation 1 (the regular box shaped one). The only RPG game that I owned for that console was Final Fantasy 8, the one was Squall and Rinoa and that gun blade thingy which was cool. Pretty cool name, shame I didn't get into it. I just realized that Musashi's voice actor, also voiced Izzy in Digimon and Digimon 2 when it was on Fox Kids, which is a pretty cool thing and a trip that I realized that. Also from fair away Musashi looks like a different version of Sonic though. It's a pretty cool game from what I saw and I liked the review man. That intro is very cool by the way, keep it up man.

Love this game. The first 3D ARPG by Square is still one of my favorite games by them. God their golden age truly was, well, golden. I recommend the PS2 sequel, it gets a bad rep but I did enjoy it. Sure, it's nowhere near as good as the original, the beginning is boring and the art style is really weird (which is why I think it turned most people away) but it gets fun afterwards. The volcano dungeon is pretty impressive.

I rented it from Blockbuster Video because I was so into the game after I played a demo of it on an issue of Playstation Underground. I still don't understand why they haven't released it as a PS1 classic here in the US yet, since it's out in Japan. Good to see it still holds up as well as I remember. I've only been able to play it a few times since. I'll always treasure the age of the Square Renaissance as i tend to refer to it as, when Squaresoft really hit their peak in the 90's. True, not all of their games were great (I'm looking at you Ergheiz) but they experimented a lot more than they do now, and, unlike FFXIII, didn't bend to what was popular in the market at the time :'D It was a pretty glorious age with some of their best games, like Final Fantasy Tactics, Parasite Eve, Einhander (that was a fantastic shoot em up) just to name a few. I just recently revisited Einhander and I still think it's a fun time, if challenging at times for a 2.5D shoot em up, but that is part of what makes it enjoyable.

I hadn't really thought of this game in a long time but just hearing the music brought back so many memories! Such a good soundtrack. It really carried me through the game because I just kept getting lost and not knowing what to do. At some point I'd played so much that I just figured I'd use my Gameshark but that brought up a whole other host of issues because cheating doesn't matter if you're dumb XD It ended up just giving me access to areas I shouldn't have been in yet and made me even more lost. In the end I only used the timer freeze cheats cus screw everything about those sections lol. I feel like a remake of this game is long overdue!

Like most people my age, most who played this at least, I got it for the the demo packed in with it after seeing some advertisements for it, mostly in magazines. And I have to say, this game was fun as hell, but boy was it hard for young me.

This is an awesome review! I miss the days when games could be stylized and silly yet still be fun. I'm kind of drowned out by the constant run of multiplayer shooters and dreary dark "mature" stories. I would love to see a revival of these kinds of games, with charm and heart! P.S. I'm with you on PSone era graphics. Maybe it is because I grew up with it but it doesn't bother me. Ultra realism was never a factor for me when playing a game.

Holy shit, I played this game as kid, didn't remember much about it just that I absolutely adored it when I really needed some escapism. Last year I tried to find it but couldn't ever find out what the name was, but I just stumbled on this video and yup, this is fucking it. Wow Anyways, thanks for reviewing this, I'd given up finding it almost a year ago. I guess around the time you made this! fucking weird. can't wait to get it on my vita

I really find that this game was underrated, it's one of the games I played on the PSone as a kid. It's to bad that the sequel is not the same like this... I really like the world they created. Not sure why they changed everything...
