Highly recommend the series.
Steam/GOG pretty much has all of the games - and the prices are great. 
I played through Ys 1, 2 , Origin, Oath in Felghana and Ark of Napishtim.
Next one I will play will be Seven, then Memories of Celceta - and from there I'll play VIII. I still need to buy Ys IX - might do it this year if the price range goes down enough.
Bear in mind - Memories of Celceta is the remake of IV and Oath is the remake of Ys III
V has yet to get a remake but I am hoping that will come next after Ys 10.
You dont have to play them in order since the story is separate in each entry but you might miss some aspects/jokes if you dont play the games in order - its not necessary.
Also Ys Origin is completely cut off from the rest of the series - its basically Ys 0 - takes place several hundred years or so from Ys 1 and afterwards - features different protagonists.
I would recommend playing Ys Origin (as that was my first entry into the series back in 2012) - the gameplay is more user friendly in comparison to Ys 1 and Ys 2 where both of the games were more difficult (though you can change that with easy mode on PC).

I'll post two pictures, one of them is an NPC character from Final Fantasy XV on a PS4 and the other is a main character from Final Fantasy XVI from PS5. Guess which one is which?
That's right, the one on the left is from PS4 while the one in the right is from PS5. Like hello? And this is the problem with basically every character in XVI other than the main character. They all look generic and uninspired. Now the monsters and boss monster designs are epic. And I am loving the story so far. But with characters so generic and unforgettable looking, it's really hard to care about any of them despite the crazy stuff and brutal stuff that happens in the game. |
Yeah, the character designs werent as good - not a surprise since the FFXIV team made it, its basically the same character facial designs lol.
