    Brave Fencer musashi is still one of my favorite games ever.
    Samurai legend was an all right game but it did not at all live up to the original.
    The original just did better at executing platforming. It also put more emphasis on exploration because that was needed to build up the town. And because you could only have one ability, knowing where to get key abilities was important, additionally, a lot of them were useful in non-combat ways. unlike samurai legend where you kind of just learned them all and then use your one favorite...
    It was better at integrating different gameplay elements like the maze you go through twice, once following the dog and once following a code, or riding the raft down the mountain.
    It did a better job with the town and making you feel connected to it, because some of the events happened in the town, like finding out about the vambees coming out of the bar, or the town catching fire.
    It also really helps that people were wandering around the town. They had their own schedules.
    Samurai Legends town was kind of just a hub to go do your shopping at... It didn't have personality really.
    Combat was better overall, because enemies weren't as beefy but there were more of them, almost always a better way to go.
    You just have to look at the first major boss from each one and it becomes obvious quickly.
    Gorpus has 3 attacks. One you back away from him as he jumps, one you back away from him as it slashes, and one you keep running as it shoots fireballs. Your only other interaction is just hitting it.
    Skullpion has 6 attacks. One you back away from him as he jumps, one you move to the side as he charges, one you have to circle around behind him as he blasts sand, one you have to jump as he does a tail swipe that covers the whole arena, one you have to keep running as it stabs up from the ground with its tail, and one where it attacks the people helping you.
    Attacking it does nothing, so your interaction with it is using your new ability to drop bombs and rocks on it, which the other people provide. This requires timing during the dodges, as charging up the slam kind of leaves you open to attacks. You can also slam to knock it off the walls so it doesn't attack the other people.
    Basically all of the crest guardians in BFM have a different camera angle and gimmick, but the same is not true for Samurai Legend.
    Also, I'm pretty sure her name is pronounced fi-lay, you know like the boneless cut of meat, because "all you can eat" Castle's got a fair amount of food puns to match up against those thirstquencher empire drink names.

    • @GameCircleTv

    The first one is one of my all-time favorite games. I've yet to come across the second one, but it does look like fun one from what I've seen in a Playthrough so far.
    The most intriguing thing about the first Musashi was that it was Square's attempt at a Zelda killer. I'm sure we all have a good idea as to how well that went. But despite failing that feat, it did not stop it from being a good game.

    I should probably shed light on some important aspects of the development and behind the scenes of Brave Fencer Musashi. While Samurai Legend is directed by the same person behind the first Brave Fencer Musashi, I honestly believe why Samurai Legend was such a departure is because it suffers from the lack of Hironobu Sakaguchi, who started the original concept of the series and was executive producer. Much like Final Fantasy, Samurai Legend kind of lost its direction because Sakaguchi was not on board with the sequel or the company at its time of development. There's also the matter with Yoichi Wada, who was the CEO behind a lot of Square Enix's more controversial era in the 2000s, but the main point is that Musashi was not the same without Sakaguchi.
    Also, it doesn't help that the original Brave Fencer Musashi was supposed to have a direct sequel where you play as Kojiro. Everyone from the old team kept on pushing for it, but it sadly didn't get the greenlight by the higher ups. Take this from me with a grain of salt, but I think Samurai Legend was a deliberate sabotage, in a good way. Samurai Legend seemed more like an attempt at a reboot than a true sequel, so I think the team did the best thing by killing that endeavor with its tongue in cheek development and design choices. It was one part in respect to Sakaguchi, which wouldn't tarnish his reputation or the original game, one part putting the dying thing out of its misery against Yoichi's bad management, and last but not least one part Nomura probably getting word from Disney to not have competition with Kingdom Hearts and to give everyone on the team a vacation.
    I still like what Samurai Legend is, I know well what probably went on in the dev room playing it first hand.

    The writing in the first game is simply phenomenal. When the steward said "Sir Little Turd", I just can't.
    I'm firmly in the camp that the second game killed this franchise. There was really nothing special nor charming about it compared to the first game, and I really don't like the artstyle of it as well. The first game was MAGICAL. Everything from the artstyle to the music. Even until today I still go back and listen to some of the soundtracks of the first game and man, it's just so good. There was literally nothing memorable about the second game at all.

    BFM has a special place in my heart. It was my first action RPG ever. It was on the demo disc for the PSX my parents bought in the summer of 99. Had them buy a copy when I found it in a game store. Sadly it broke right before the cutscene where Leaders Force sets the village on fire. So I borrowed one from my classmate... which broke right as I went into the Frost Palace. Had to buy a second copy. It was amazing.
    Only reason I never picked up MSL was because my folks never bought a PS2. I only ever got one as a hand me down from my brother in law back in the mid or late 10s.
    Now that I'm on a gaming PC and just starting to play some PS2 sequels via emulator. Like MGS 2, maybe Monster Rancher 3... Maybe I'll add MSL to my playlist while I'm at it.

    while I've yet to play Brave Fencer I did play and really enjoy Samurai Legend. that said the movements was just so stiff and clunky which is super weird give all the games released between BFM and it that I thought they'd refined it so its not like your moving about in ankle deep molasses but I did like how many of the moves you copy were something to access at any time rather than one time at worst and till you need a new ability at best from its PS1 title(carrying princesses then either attacking with tossing them for a quick strike was really funny and a nice bit of identity that was needed in a lot of escort type games).
    I think if Square Enix improved character and vehicle mini-game movements along with adding some extra side missions and possible sword upgrades(like the earth blade creates spikes around Musashi, the dark blade leaves a damaging mist behind Musashi or something to that effects) aside from the basic katana it would make SLM better.
    still I would so love a third game, perhaps in a setting where science is fully mixed into the magic with cyborgs, androids and the like paired with golems, familiars as well as others in that line for this Sci-Fi fused Fantasy. the person summoning Musashi this time is a Sorceress using tech to get a better chance to summon with the macguffin being these mystical gem infused drives. he would get move copy abilities that make full use of his mystical nature, physical ability and access to his mechanical gauntlets with the sacred treasures a nice blend of the two games before it

      Samurai legend musashi was actually considered a failure in terms of sales because peace just didn't like it. Whether it was new players or fans of the original, there just wasn't much appeal. I think it's OK for the time it was made, but the combat and other parts were really repetitive. I honestly want a complete remake of brave fencer musashi. With more areas in the world to explore, more backstory of the original musashi that was mentioned in the game and how the dark wizard/demon lumina was sealed in the sword and why it was forgotten. Maybe more action figures to collect (possibly with some amiibo counterparts if it's released on a nintendo system) and a fully customizable room to put them in. Possibly different costumes for musashi too (some based on other square Enix games) plus quality of life improvements to work with modern controls.

    If they want to redeem themselves, which I’m gonna find it hard for them to do since people like to screw up a good thing. They need to make another brave fencer Musashi video game that’s just like the first one. You can’t be a classic. You have to get the same voices, same plots, actual gameplay, not this video movie filming We see in so many video games nowadays where you don’t even get a chance to even play. he could be a little older, but pretty much the same set up. You would think they would learn from history. I also would have love to see the first video game as a cartoon or movie. This video game had everything. By far brave fencer Musashi is my number one favorite adventure game of all time. I often play it on UA-cam and go to sleep with it so I can dream. Brings back fond memories.

    I've played both games and I absolutely hated the reboot. It lacks all the charm of Brave Fencer and the really watered down Musashi's personality. They also did us real dirty with the ending which is just a brief dump of text. I'll never forget the ending of Brave Fencer where the King and Queen come back and slowly realize Musashi is Musashi and has Lumina and that ending where Musashi finally puts back Lumina in it's rightful place.
    That was epic.
    Brave Fencer is filled with great moments. Samurai Legend wishes it had a single great moment.

If I were curious in a new game, I'd still have to watch an LP through to make sure it actually had a satisfying ending considering Samurai Legend's stunt. I'd have to ruin the story of the game just to do my due diligence so the combat better be damn good to be worth a 2nd complete romp through the game's story.

    Personally, I never thought the sequel's visuals were that great. It was too noisy, obnoxious, and frankly felt like a parody of itself. From a design perspective, I always preferred the style of the first game, and there's just so much charm and life in designs like at 4:39 compared to the sequel. It almost feels inspired by Studio Ghibli or something. While the sequel is just... Kind of generic fast paced anime style, forgettable.
    If they were to ever bring this series back, or hell even Threads of Fate, I hope they stick to the original designs.
