Go preorder Musashi Samurai Legend!

[Dormos]

This is Dormos' tale of love, pain, and retribution.

Waaaaaay back, back when Dormos got his first Playstation, he recieved, packaged with it, a demo. "Interactive Disk 8" was the name of the demo disk. Inside was a few games, and a few videos. Coolboarders 3, Crash Bandicoot: Warped, Metal Gear Solid, they were all on there. But after playing through them, Dormos found another game, hidden at the top of one of the menus. He realized that it was actually a playable demo, and not a video, like all of the other choices on the same menu. Dormos loved the name of the demo: Brave Fencer Musashi. It had swords and a japanese dude in it. It was bound to be good.

Dormos played this demo, which included three levels, the beginner's (Running from the giant head), the mediocre's (Steel Knight... or whatever the four-legged robot knight's name was), and the advanced's (under the cafe). Dormos played all three, then continued playing the advanced's level, just because it was that dang fun. For hours upon hours, he would sit there, trying to get the next skill, trying to bowl down every one of the ghoulish things at the end of the walkway, and when he finished doing all of that, he did it some more.

Then one day, while Dormos was out with his aunt, he saw Brave Fencer Musashi in the store. He knew he had to get it, but he had no money! He knew his aunt had money, though, since the reason they came was to buy a game. Dormos knew that his aunt was a big fan of the Final Fantasy series, and that's where he saw his chance. For enclosed within the copy of Brave Fencer Musashi, there was included a demo of FFVIII! With his charm and intelligent debating skills, Dormos finally got his aunt to buy the game.

Dormos played it for hours on end. Eventually, he came to the end of the game and beat it (this was 1998, remember). Dormos was immensely satisfied. He had just finished the greatest game of all time. In fact, it was so great, Dormos KNEW it had to have a sequel coming!

Weeks passed. Dormos wasn't worried. That sequel was coming. Weeks turned into months, months into years. Dormos had given up hope on a sequel coming out for this great game. It became yet another chapter in the great book of underrated games in history. Dormos never forgot about the game, though, and when asked, always replied that it was the best game ever.

Then, fate seemed to go CRAZY and take a turn for the best. During the 2-3 seconds that it takes to turn on the TV and put it on Input to play his PS2 (for much time had passed since Dormos' fiasco with Brave Fencer Musashi. Technology had advanced, PS1s had become obsolete, replaced by the more powerful, more technological, hotter PS2), there was a show on G4 about E3. And during those 2-3 seconds, Dormos heard those five golden words-

"Sequel to Brave Fencer Musashi."

Dormos couldn't believe his ears! Could this be true? Could there really be a sequel to Brave Fencer Musashi? It was too late to tell, for by the time that Dormos got his TV off of Input to see if he really heard what he thought he did, the section was already over.

But no time could be spared! Dormos turned off his PS2, put down his controller, and hopped into his computer chair to check to see if his dreams had come true.

And they had!

Brave Fencer Musashi was THE greatest game of all time, made by THE greatest developers of all time. Samurai Legend Musashi is supposed to be a little different from Brave Fencer, but it's a small price to pay for such a wonderful turn of events. Nothing but positive things have been said about the game, and with luck, nothing but positive things will come of it.

Heck, it made me write that huge story. That alone qualifies it to be awesome, and check-out-worthy.

Unless Enix, with its union with Squaresoft (yes, I'm still grumpy about that) screws it up, those jerks.

Ill be buying it, not even if i like it but to support the idea of releasing games in U.S. This will give us more info on games then we actually get, it could actually change the market. According to SE north america spends 3 times the money on games with 1/3rd the releases of Japan.. i think they are going to start to send most games to US first... and Ill help that along
