Ys X: Nordics Released

Ys X: Nordics is out for PC, PlayStation, and Switch, and the Windows launch edition of this action/RPG is now available on the Epic Games Store, GOG.com,* and Steam with exclusive launch bonuses for the next two weeks. The Launch Trailer is crammed with expositional wisecracks and a look at the game in action. It also provides a clarification on the title, saying it's more-or-less pronounced "Ease 10." Here's more:
Following their tenuous encounter at sea, the young red-haired adventurer Adol Christin and the proud pirate Karja Balta find themselves bound by fate – and the mysterious power of Mana! As they search for a way to undo the mystical ties that bind them, they soon find themselves caught up in a conflict between two factions: the seafaring warriors known as the Normans and the enigmatic and seemingly immortal Griegr. In order to save the people of Obelia Gulf, Adol and Karja must navigate the depths of their unexpected bond and the power that it grants them.

Yeah, Ys is older than Final Fantasy while at the same time having the same protagonist since 1987.

I played 1 and 2 and they are VERY antiquated, even with the remakes. 1 is extremely shallow, and 2 is a gigantic confusing maze.

That's Trails, another Falcom series. These aren't really connected at all, some minor callbacks at best but every story is its own thing and doesn't require prior knowledge.

Never played any games in this series and at this point I'm wondering whether it's too late to get into.

I read that they're all connected so it's not like Final Fantasy where you can get into any game at any point because there is no chronological order. Eh...

Oh okay. I was researching it based on how the Japanese language works and I thought it would be 'eesus'. I didn't even notice that they pronounced it right in the video. Thanks.

It's 'eese' with a hard S, like the name Reese. As mentioned in the blurb, they even say it at the end of the trailer. These tend to be pretty fun hack-and-slash JRPGs, if a bit cheesy. Worth picking up on a deep discount.

In case anyone is wondering, I THINK that this is pronounced eesu.

I loved 8 and 9, (couldn't get far into 7) and played the 10 demo. This is a definite purchase, but maybe more if I can get at least a token discount.
