Alundra 2 wasn't really an Alundra, but apparently a company got the rights to it back then and butchered the series. The true Alundra 2 is Dual Hearts for the PS2, too bad people don't know it. It's made by the same company and carries the same basic storyline. The main character can enter people's dreams. But this one is a bit more cheerful/colorful and when you enter their dreams it always represents the person. Like this woman obsessed with treasure, when you enter her dream there's jewels and stuff all over. All in all it's a nice action RPG.
As far as Alundra 1 goes, I played pretty far but got stuck at some dungeon I believe. I haven't played it much really, I guess lack of patience. I refuse to use a strategy guide too. Hmm.. now I feel like playing SNES suddenly.. lol.
Probably Yoshi's Island and Zelda..
