I loved this game so much. Utterly excellent.

Now that's one historic japanese man out of the way. Next stop, Nobunaga!

Koei-tecmo designers probably look at this game in confusion wondering why anyone would make a character based on Musashi instead of Nobunaga.

whoa, this episode really shines like so much love has been put into making it. i'd say musashi is the best zelda clone ever made, hell, this is even kinda insulting, lol musashi holds its own just fine, it has a lot going on for it, it's the definition of "hidden gem". it really baffles me why squaresoft never came up with at least a remastering or whatever. gotta say the sound department stands out a bit more because that soundtrack is unparalleled, love how it mixes relaxing with epic, western with japanese vibes. it's also the best (english) voice acting i've ever seen in a videogame. also should point out that the difficulty spikes quite a bit after the beginning, and the gameplay kinda aggravates that. ps.: should have made a special chapter about steamwood, that shit is an anxiety nightmare masterpiece.
