I don’t have much experience with JRPGs. What’s the gameplay like? Action or strategy, or something of a hybrid? Are they hard to get started with? I see Ys Nordic just released back in September. Would that be a good starting point, or would I be confused from missing prior games in the series?
Ys Nordic is only released in Japan yet as far as I know.
Ys 8 is a good starting point.
The stories aren’t that connected besides some characters and a lot of Easter eggs / references so you can play them in pretty much any order you want.

Ys is mostly action RPG. Trails is turn-based. This site can help you pick a good place to get started with the Ys series.
Ys Nordic hasn’t come out in the west. Just pick up ys 8. It’s everyone’s favourite, it’s on sale all the time, and it’s on all the platforms.
The story doesn’t matter, you can play them all in any order. Just endless fun action rpg with amazing music
