Definitely the worst Ys game, but I can't help be drawn to it. It's messy and obtuse and not fun to play. The game doesn't even feel like an Ys game. But the story can't help but captivate me, not so much because of what is there, but because of its potential. I'll be very happy when Falcom remakes this one.

Probably the most middle of the road Ys game. I like it more than 7, 6, 5, or 1, but less than 2, 3, 8, and Origin.
The cast of characters is half good half meh, in both personality and gameplay. Duren, Karna, and Frieda are the standouts in both accounts.
The story is messy. The pacing isn't very good and the ending is rushed.
Bosses aren't stellar either.
So, why do I like it so much more than other games? Simple, gameplay feel. The combat and exploration feel really good and it's incredibly satisfying to play.

Better than the first game. A little shorter, but faster, more fun. New weapons, more color, a better soundtrack, a more heartfelt story. I really liked the story with Balder especially and his boss fights were far and away the best in the game.
The final boss is not as good as Jubileus was in Bayonetta 1, though.
