Why do people like Ys VIII so much?

Why do people like Ys VIII so much?

I'm so done with this. Everyone says Lacrimosa is the best Ys game and i genuinely tried to love it. Just dropped it for the fifth time btw.

My acquaintance with Ys began with Napishtim. I fell in love with the battle system since it was so dynamic and it progressed with time (new swords, new abilities). When i grew up i was able to catch up with the plot and absolutely loved it too.

And Napishtim was my favourite game until i met Origin. Man, this is PEAK, imo.

I also played Seven on my psp. Kinda interesting, but i didn't like that game is forcing you to use precise chars for the precise enemies.

But when i tried VIII, it felt like I was moving through the jelly, the battle system feels slow. Devs tried to make the game cinematic, but characters in cutscenes felt clumsily, like i see every animation's start and end. I thought it would be fine after some time, Origin needed some time at the start too, but it feels like a torture. Is something wrong with me? Or are 3d Ys games (idk what this engine named, which Celceta, Lacrimosa, Nox are using) just aren't my cup of tea?

I tried to like it so hard, but ended up just starting Origin again, lol. Is there a point to try Nordics? Or would it be just a waste of money for me?
