I said I would write this before Ys IX came out, and over four months later I finally went back to it and finished it.
Ys is good and fun and here's a very brief overview of how to approach the series and some common elements throughout.

I have to set some rules first tho, this shit complicated and powerpoint slides have limited space. I also didn't want to make 50 slides, or a slide about each game lmao...
The games! As mentioned on one of the slides, Digital Emelas is very good Ys source. There's a lot I couldn't put here, so I highly recommend checking them out.

ADOL CHRISTIN IS THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE
There are other characters I promise.
You don't know how hARD IT WAS to narrow some of this shit down...I wanted to organize them cleanly, and these were the groups that came out of that.

As a spectacle, please witness my feelings on the release of this Ys IX image.
"Didn't you mention music?" I did, thanks for asking.
I'm going to try very, very hard to pick one (1) song per game. One whole song. Just one. I can do this. I'm also going to go out of my way to avoid OP/ED tracks, because that's not fair.
Also, personal bias plays in here.

Here's a thread of more songs split per game that I intend to add onto in the future, at some point. I haven't forgotten about it.
