I've been a fan of Brave Fencer Musashi and Threads of Fate for years now, so I was pleasantly surprised to see SE reprise the former in Samurai Legend Musashi.
Another pleasant surprise was Tetsuya Nomura is character designer of this game... and I swear, I could see the the Cloud and Aerith elements in here... 0.o; most notably Musashi (though not Cloud atitudewise, the main character's Great Oar reminded me of the Buster Sword. And there's this part Musashi rides a motorcycle slicing enemies riding on their own motorcycles in this long road tunnel akin to FF7's) and Princess Mycelle, who not only reminded me of Aerith in design, she actually does an Aerith pose (leaning forward with hands behind her back). I literally went 0.o; when I saw her do that to Musashi...




Anyways, other than the fact it was just a hack and slash game with a linear story that does not delve too deeply in the human psyche, I love this game to death... :D
