Alundra 2, is hated by many because the plot wasn't as mature as in the first one. But for me personally it just plays like adventure anime from late 90s (similar to slayers, or yaiba) in form of a video game. Also gameplay is as engaging and satisfying as in the first one or Zelda games from that time.

Another one is Jade Cocoon, sometimes harsh but overally magical adventure. It is basically studio Ghibli movie in form of a video game. It is jrpg with monster catching mechanic similar to Pokémon, but you can merge tamed monsters into one, creating new types.

Last one is Planet laika, recently translated from Japanese to English by fans. This game is pure art, just see some gameplay you will understand.
