It looks great.

Final Fantasy has always contained comedic relief, but it has not always been great, colorful high fantasy.

When a FF game hasn't been colorful high fantasy, it has made up with an extremely colorful cast of characters, heroes and villains alike. How FFXVI has presented itself is not making me confident, not with it's characters, atmosphere, character design or environment design. Everything has lacked the joy I require, as they are seemingly taking a deep turn into grimdark serious edgy nonsense, and they haven't showcased anything to balance that yet. Of course, this is based on a few trailers, but how they are marketing the game does not make me confident in the things I'd like to see in a singleplayer Final Fantasy game. The '' magic '' is not there.

They did similar marketing for FFXII, if I recall, on how dark the game was. Even FFX's marketing was somewhat dark I believe on what all it showed.
