CloseI just saw this today so if this is old new to you sorry but I just wanted to share because this is a cool unappreciated action RPG series and seeing it on a next gen console is pretty amazing.
I know the graphics aren't nearly as impressive as other PS4 stuff like FFXV but keep in mind it's a smaller company and considering that I think it looks beautiful.
If you are new to this game series it's a bit like Zelda but more action focused.
For more explanation check out this website which does an overview of the whole series.

I think I remember renting (yes, back in the day you could rent videogames) Ys III - Wanderers From Ys for the SNES. It didn't leave much of an impression on me.

Ys 3 was IMO the weakest, Oath of Felghana makes it that bit better but it's still 'meh', Ys 1 and 2 are pretty good, and Ys 5 is awesome.
Looks like Adol is the main star again, that guy must be pushing 40 now.

I actually had Ys 3 since I impulsively bought every snes RPG I could find back then. It was a pretty middling game, but it had some sweet music:
I played through Ys 4: Mask of the Sun out of curiosity pretty recently. It had that system where you just run into enemies and you damage them if you're either above their level or hitting them off center, which was actually a lot better than it sounds (but still kind of crappy overall).

Well Ys3 was kinda like the Zelda 2 of the series.
What got me into Ys was Ys 6 Ark of Ark of Napishtim for PS2. I highly recommend that one.
Edit: Thanks for sharing the songs Housekeeping I haven't heard the music from Ys3 it's pretty good.

I've seen some games from this series and they look pretty interesting, but the only thing that has kept me from purchasing it is that I've seen some people talk about it being really short.
When I play any game, I usually spend a good couple of hours just progressing through. Would it be short for someone who likes to story progress aggressively?

Ys games prior to Ys Seven are pretty short yes. If you know exactly what you're doing, you can beat each of them within 10 hours. Although a big part of it for me is replaying on higher difficulties and those can take a while with grinding and retrying boss fights.
Ys Seven upwards though, can take at least 30 hours even on your first playthrough. Couldn't ask for more than 30 hours of satisfactory combats that has been refined throughout so many years by Falcom.
