Other great ones are 'The White Cloud In The Sky', 'Forest Of Sleep', 'The Only Friend', and 'Snow Labyrinth'.

I already mentioned 'The Musashi Legend' and 'Twin Mountains'. Sekito really has a gift for great, melodic choruses, which shows in these tracks. The best part of the OST, in my opinion, is that comprised of the ordinary BGM, the tracks that play when you search the various villages, forests, dungeons, caves, etc. If you like film music more than I do, though, you might very well like these pieces very much. While they no doubt work wonders to enhance the storyline in-game, they sometimes feel a little boring to listen to on the CD. These kind of tracks range from happy, care-free and whimsy to dark, ominous and dramatic, and everywhere in-between.

Pieces like 'The Musashi Legend' and 'Twin Mountains' are just so good, you can have tracks like these on repeat for an hour and they still wouldn't become boring.Ī lot of the music is comprised of scenario music, when characters talk with each other or certain story events happen. This might turn some people away, but personally I find the music good enough to easily overcome this little weakness. It doesn't sound quite as bad as, say Final Fantasy 7, but it's still noticeable. Being orchestral game synth from way back in 1998, the music suffers a bit from that nagging, cheesy synth that was commonplace in many earlier 32-bit-soundtracks. This music could easily have turned out silly, like many other 'funny' soundtracks often do, but the composer manages to keep the comical tone needed for the kind of game that BFM is and still make it sound 'big' and 'epic'. Sekito manages to walk a thin line between a soft, playful sound and a more complex, mature one. And even though Brave Fencer Musashiden Original Soundtrack doesn't quite reach the high ranks of such classics as Kikuta's Seiken Densetsu scores, Nakano's Dewprism, or Kobayashi and Hikichi's Terranigma, composer Tsuyoshi Sekito still did a fine job with this music. There is just some kind of adventurous, youthful power found in them that seems to be lacking in the slower, more complex RPGs (like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest). Usually, I have found that it's the action RPGs that have the best soundtracks in the RPG genre.
