Alundra 2 is a bad sequel but a very excellent stand alone game in my opinion. It's in my top ten games of all time list. Truly underrated in my opinion. The same people who scream "change is good" for Final Fantasy sequels give this game shit for being different. The hypocrisy! *looks at lestadark* |
Please look yourself in the mirror before you call anyone a hypocrite.
I wouldn't mind a complete change to Alundra if it was done properly. It wasn't. An excellent stand alone game? Please do tell just one thing that Alundra 2 did excellent.
The mechanics? Clumsy as hell, especially since the game is cluttered with non-sensical puzzles that boggle down exploration. Unlike Alundra's puzzles which had a meaning and were logical, Alundra 2 puzzle's are literally shit on a stick that they sold you to bear any resemblance to the name Alundra. Most of them are illogical and highly missplaced. The visuals? Probably one of the worst in the entire PSX library. The story? What story?.... It's downright inexistant and the only thing worthwile is Ruby and Albert lightheartedness. The controls? You mean the way that jumping was unresponsive as hell and that the dash locked you down in the action almost in every embarassing situation? The sound effects? You mean the way Flint screams like a girl whenever it gets hit or how there are sound queues out of place?
If there's anything positive I could say about Alundra 2 is that it was one of the few RPGs from the PSX era that did VA's properly, but that's about it.

Except for the graphics, I could say the same thing about Final Fantasy XIII, shit on a stick. But I'm not here to argue at all. I realized a while back that only a select few on the forums appreciate Alundra 2 for what it was. I didn't think you would take my hypocrisy comment to heart. At least not you as our FFXIII back and forth jabs have been a continual thing.
