YMMV / Alundra 2

• Awesome Music: The second boss battle theme.
• Contested Sequel: Some consider this a fun game, with a colorful cast, challenging bosses and enjoyable puzzles. Others hate the Lighter and Softer nature of the game and the fact that it has nothing to do with the original. Some Take a Third Option of sorts, believing that the game is good in its own rights, but also pretend not to see it as an Alundra sequel.
• Difficulty Spike: Once you reach Star Key, the game gets more difficult.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: A cyborg whale swallows up the protagonists, but is only rampaging because it's infected by one of Mephisto's magical wind-up keys. Someone on the development team was obviously a fan of Digimon Adventure, where in episode 14, (that aired several months before the game's release) Whamon, a cyborg whale swallows up the protagonists because he was infected by a black gear.
• Sidetracked by the Gold Saucer: Gamar Isle with its various minigames. Gotta get those accessories!
