Good actor performances, good music, good cutscenes, actually artistic instead of artsy fartsy, good jrpg gameplay but with an added QTE event on your turn and enemy turns to keep you engaged, and emotional storytelling. It hits many of the same high notes as bg3, a solid rpg with exceptional audio and visual presentation.
It's a jrpg in story structure and gameplay, so don't expect the sort of decisions and choices as in bg3 since that's not the forte of jrpg's, but it does do what jrpg's are good at, which is linear story and high quality cutscenes and music.
It's also a neat success story. The studio that made it is a small studio of ex-ubisoft devs who got fed up with corporate culture and all quit together and formed a studio together, and their first game is a major success. So it's proof that the industry template is neither required nor particularly productive, and that talent and passion are what actually matters.
It's easily my goty.

JRPG's will usually have a linear story with no choices that is told to you. You watch a fully animated and voice acted cutscene of Titus, Lightning, Luna, Fang, etc all talking to each other for important story bits. You sit back and watch a movie.
For CRPG, the palyer clicking on options in dialogue that lead to at least a couple different possible question resolutions or game endings is a core identifier for the different genres.
They both have parties of characters, character progression, classes, xp, items, etc so there are tons of overlap between the two genres and they're sibling genres you might say, but they are distinct.
Exp 33 fits the JRPG tag in all aspects except that it was actually made by french people lol. But I still include it in discussions of RPG's in general, because it is strong in many of the things modern audiences desire in a computer role-playing game, even if it has a linear story with cutscenes you watch for important story bits, instead of the crpg style player choices. Being anal about these slight genre definitions has never been important to most people, or with people who appreciate a good RPG regardless of genre quibbling, so it is the role-playing game of the year, without very much competition.

On appearance alone she is, but she is responsible for many of the quips that slowly made me dislike the game's dialogue. When The Warden and Alistair had to fight an ogre when they were low level, they were rightfully scared and it was the boss fight of the prologue and they ultimately had to be saved by Flemeth from the ogre's warband.
In Veilguard you just slaughter an ogre in the prologue with just your party and when you're done Belara says "An ogre? Sheesh, what a monday, am I rite guys?". It's so bad. It's a perfect quintessential example of the "marvel quips" criticism you see floating around this website, except completely true this time.
