Non-spoiler trailer, focusing on combat and exploration. Steam page isn't up yet; GOG release has been confirmed on stream (as usual with Falcom "PC" releases from XSEED).
For those out of the loop: XSEED had a stream last Friday to showcase another Falcom ARPG, Zwei: Ilvard Insurrection (which you should definitely check out), and they surprise announced a brand-new, contracted PC port of Ys Seven with upscaled graphics (and redrawn UI elements), 60 FPS at new resolution options, and a touched-up script. Keep in mind that this was a 2009 PSP game developed by around 30 people, and that Joyoland, the Chinese PC developer which did a previous PC port of Ys Seven, was unable to get HD assets.
Some PR screens provided today (click for HD):
UPDATE: Tom @ XSEED's providing some more details on the port's graphics quality:

I think they might still be available as a togglable option in the game's launcher, though I'm not 100% sure on that. Even if they are available, though, they will be defaulting to off for reasons which will become apparent should anyone enable them.
(And procedural upscaling is really the only solution there, as those are the textures that exist -- there do not exist any higher-res versions we can work with, sadly.)
It's actually kind of fascinating looking at the PC version's textures, as some of them are naturally quite high-res, while others aren't. The port overall looks much better than the PSP version, though, if only for the character models, which are noticeably higher-res and more detailed across the board.
