I played it on PS4 and it ran at well. Can't speak to PC but I'm pretty sure Switch version runs at 30fps. I'd personally get it on PC or PS4 for 60fps but not sure how much you value portability.

When I tried the Switch version it was dropping to 720p and occasionally lower even in docked mode. Framerate wasn't completely stable at 30 fps either. That was post 1.04 patch, which appears to still be the last time NISA touched it.
That said the game looks pretty bad on PC too, mainly because it started out as a Vita game. At least it's fairly trivial to get it to run at 60 fps all the time though. There's a "HD" texture mod available too, never tried it but it might fix some of the ugliness. Won't fix the low-poly models though.

Yeah I think it's just costumes and consumables iirc. Don't remember extra levels or anything like that.

Took me about 5 minutes this morning to work it out with PPSSPP for Ys 7. You shouldn’t have any issues.

I don't mind games with slow starts. I used to. Took me years to get into Dragon Quest VII, which has several hours of game/story before you even get to fight any battles. Now, though, I'm okay with that kind of thing.
Looking forward to playing as the hawt blue-haired girl. Do you play as her a lot during the game? Hope so. Was disappointed in how little Aqua gameplay there was in what I saw of Kingdom Hearts 3.

PPSSPP will work asIntrinsic said, but why not just play the PC version?
I think I jumped in to the thread at a strange spot and didn't see Aladain's post about having VII on Steam, saw Rajaah's post so immediately went looking for the PSP route, and didn't bother to check. Oh well!

For a game that already came out in japan a year ago Ys9 has some weird launch quirks for NA. Playstation store only lets you buy the deluxe version for digital, physical only lets you buy standard and limited editions but only the digital preorder has exclusive costumes. Which have no previews yet. (edit: had to do some searching but falcom reddit confirmed they are 3 existing JP outfits on their playstation store, the 4th is from a book which had 5 other outfits shown. Nothing spectacular and likely sold individually later)
There are apparently frame drops in the hub area for PS4, less so for the Pro, and PS5 runs stable 60fps.

Weird how Ys 5 never got a western release much less a remake. You'd think they would have tapped into it by now. I've never played Ys 4 either and have to figure out which version to go with whenever I get around to it. The TG16, Super Famicom, and Vita/PS4 versions are all pretty different from each other.
