Do I need to have played previous games to enjoy Ys 10?

I've been meaning to play some of the series for a long time, but never managed to get around to it. Would starting with 10 be alright, or should I go back and play some of the others? I'm not going to go through all of them, as that sounds like a massive time expenditure, but I'm interested enough to play one or two other games before I get this one.
