The FFXIV trailer does not look good.

Final Fantasy has always had an essence of wonder, comedy and whimsy about it, and the worlds have always had great colorful high fantasy and sci-fi elements to break the otherwise bleak settings.

This game looks to take itself way too seriously, and lacks those elements completely. It's just too far from what I want from a Final Fantasy game. Take me back to Besaid Island and Balamb Garden!
