Dialogs already in English. Will this be released at the same time in both sides of the pacific ocean?

Cel...er, excuse me, "manga shading" *rolleyes* can go die, but the game looks okay otherwise

Hope they got rid of the autoscroll stuff

Hmm. Kinda ugly! (and/or generic) Didn't care for the art direction of the first game either.

Someone should make a game based on Inoue's Musashi/Vagabond.

I'll be getting this first day. BFM is definitely one of my favorite PSone games. I wonder, is Sekito composing again? God, the original's soundtrack is awesome.

I do believe you harbor a deep and unbridled hatred for the Japanese people and culture. :'(

I couldnt' get into the psone title. Was it any fun?

argh my eyes. The lead character art is teh hideous. Looks like a demented Sora.

Unsold.

For some reason Magic-Box screens never work for me. It seems to be the only place, as I never get red Xs elsewhere.

But from what I remember of the character design, it wasn't great. In fact I'd call it a friggin' mess. And I'm usually a Nomura defender, but really I don't know what the hell he was thinking with that one.

Fucking nice. Reminds me a lot of Dark Cloud 2.

actually. It looks way more... BOF5 imo.

Does anyone else think the the lead looks like he's wearing those boob tube tops that some chicks wear? Bare midriff? Fugly design

The height of Japanese "fashion."

 

[Greenpanda]

This comes close to making Romancing SaGa look good

Yea, but if it plays even remotely similiar to the PSOne iteration, that's fine. One of the few PSOne RPGs I can still go back and enjoy.

In short, I loooove Brave Fencer Musashi. I was just playing it this past weekend and am listening to the PSFs right now...

I played this at E3 and it looked really early... I'm thinking it will be a late '05 release for this game. I do hope that Square has resolved the framerate issues that were most defintely an issue in the E3 build. I also hope that it has the same gameplay mechanics as the first one (absorbing enemies and platforming) because I only saw hack and slash at E3.

 

[Takuan]

Every other character seen in those pictures looks better than Musashi himself. I just can't get over the training bra. Otherwise, the game has a unique style, if a bit messy.

It wasn't developed by Square. External development studio.

 

[jett]

Everything looks good EXCEPT Musashi's outfit. Why Nomura, why!? He's practically crossdressing.

I remember a few minor platforming areas in the E3 build when fighting in the tree (with all the spiders/webs). I also think I remember some kind of absorbing mechanic, though I can't recall excatly what happened other than I had a hell of a time getting some of them to work while the Square rep explained stuff to me.
