It's not a true sequel, stories aren't connected and it just carries the name, kind of like most Final Fantasy sequels. Where the first game drew heavy influence from Link to the Past, Alundra 2 looks like it took A LOT from Final Fantasy 7, from the look of the game to its music. But instead of turn based, it has action style combat. Alundra 2 is a fine RPG for the PS1 and I had fun playing it. Would I recommend it? Sure, it's still pretty cheap these days and can be fun if you can put up with the FF7 style graphics. But would I say it's a decent replacement for the first one? Absolutely not. Sadly, the first title has gone up in price the past few years. I had no idea it was THIS expensive though. it was around $45 a few years ago when I last looked. It's crazy how fast some titles shoot up out of nowhere. If you're looking for a PS1 RPG that is like Zelda, there's Monkey Hero. It's definitely not as good as Alundra, but isn't bad in its own right and it is way cheaper. Just be warned that Monkey Hero won't play in a PS2 (not sure about a PS3). --- End quote --- iirc, monkey hero is one of the handful of games that use the "better" piracy protection. That may cause the compatibility issue. |
