I have yet to play more Ys games at the time of this review, having only beaten this, Seven, and Monstrum Nox, but this is quite literally peak Ys and peak Action RPG in general. I'm dead serious, it's up there with Kingdom Hearts 2.
The combat is fast-paced, frantic, simple, yet so rewarding and addicting. The characters are well designed and mostly likeable, and the story is mysterious and intriguing. I may have a bias since it's my first Ys game but god if this wasn't an amazing experience.
Also has a fuckin banger soundtrack and I'm a proud owner of the complete OST on CD. Ripped to FLAC and I always give it a listen in Foobar. It's so damn good.
