150 years ago, the legendary warrior known as the Brave Fencer Musashi saved the kingdom of Allucaneet from the evil Wizard of Darkness. Now, his spirit is reincarnated in a young, rather short-tempered boy. Fillet, the princess of Allucaneet, summons the reluctant hero to the palace and gives him the powerful sword Fusion, which he needs to defeat the evil Thirstquencher Empire. It soon turns out that the Empire is after another legendary sword, Lumina, so Musashi's first task is to get it before the bad guys do!.. Brave Fencer Musashi is an action game with strong RPG elements. Controlling Musashi, the player explores the pre-rendered backgrounds from third person view (similarly to Final Fantasy VII), visiting towns, talking to NPCs, etc. There is a day/night cycle in the game, which is manifested in the schedules of NPCs and/or monsters, as well as Musashi's fatigue level, which increases if he doesn't sleep enough. Musashi uses the two swords, Fusion and Lumina, to fight his enemies. The two swords have different properties: while Fusion behaves more or less like a traditional melee weapon, Lumina needs to be imbued with various elemental items in order to unleash powerful attacks.

Having the intro characters all have different speech quirks was a stroke of genius. It's so silly that only the royal steward speaks in old english meanwhile the princess next to him inserts "like" into every sentence like a valley girl.

The intro to this game is still just as solid as I remember since renting it forever ago.

My PS3 ate my Brave Fencer Musashi disk.

While my clickbait opener is half true, I am currently involved with a potential death rattle for my ps3. Any help would be appreciated.

I stupidly tried to eject the disk during the PS3 shutdown process. My ps3 now refuses to eject disks, albiet trying its best, unless I engage the hard reset. (Turning the main power switch off in the back and hold down the eject button and turn the switch back on.) The ps3 spurs to life and sequences itself to spit out the disk, like a pinball machine trying to unstick a ball from its innards.

As you can imagine, this is not ideal. Brave Fencer Musashi or any other disk has a chance to be completely entombed, or even worse, bricking my ps3. While digital games are still functional, I can't fathom trying to play Breath of Fire 3 until this is resolved.
