In another tweet, the developer specified that the release date is still an estimate since the game is still in development. So that means this might change in the future depending on the situation.
President Toshihiro Kondo stated that the game will be standalone. Players will not need to play the previous Ys games to understand it. It is still recommended to play the previous ones to get more acquainted to the gameplay.
