Supergiant dug up this game's (and maybe by extension, VI / OiF) bones and ran with them. They have made a career (and a career's worth of refinements) on the basic structure Falcom introduced in their middle period PC Ys games. Just as one could trace last year's B-tier JRPG combat smatterings (Tales of Arise, Valkyrie Elysium, etc.) back to Kingdom Hearts 2, the well-regarded Hades, Transistor, Bastion pseudo-trilogy can be traced back to Ys Origin.

Otherwise somewhat unremarkable.
