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.
