Yoshida has incredible work ethics and he seems to have good eyes to hire talented people. I knew he's gonna be involved in the production although he denied the director role.

I predicted that FFXVI would be a high fantasy/medieval game. I loved the trailer and the new logo finally! Looking forward to it!!

While its great to have ultimate graphics to show off, I think the pursue of that also held back on the implementation of other elements in the past. FFXIIIs case is a clear example of that.
I'm fine with less impressive graphics if that means better realized features, world with more content, more cutscenes... We'll have to wait and see, soon hopefully.

Wow, I'm sold on pretty much everything in the trailer except for the graphics - still looking a bit rough, but that was the least of my concerns.
The setting, characters, mood and tone are great and give some of that FFXII wibe that I love so much.
And the fact that they decided to go full-fledged action game with DMC5's/DD's designer directing this game's combat is a dream come true for me, and the combat gameplay bits in the trailer is a firm confirmation of that
Just hoping they take however long they need to push out a complete, satisfying game to not repeat the whole FFXV situation.

I agree, I see many people harping about the graphics not being the second coming of christ or the setpieces not being super elaborate so far but after seeing what the obsession with graphics did to FFXV and how many promised setpieces in that game were severely toned back and/or entirely cut because Square and Nomura got too ambitious I'm pretty happy to see that this project looks relatively grounded. Sure it could be argued that it may even be playing it too safe but I'm just glad that the trailer showed a lot of stuff that looks achievable for the most part. It was honestly refreshing looking at some of the fights and visuals and not thinking to myself "damn, so how are these gonna look when they're inevitably scaled back for the final product?" It's nice knowing that something like the Dragoon fight will probably make it into the game unscathed or even somewhat improved. At this point I'd rather take safe but achievable over ambitious train wreck, my heart can't take anymore lengthy revelations about what could've been after the previous 10+ year long roller coaster.
Something else I noticed in terms of references. The young archduke's son's called Joshua, he possesses a dangerous power, the protagonist is a former servant of royalty and seems to turn into some kind of covert/black ops squad targeting magic users (summoners or Dominants in this case), a terrible event leads to death close to the protagonist, there is a council that includes a sharp-tongued woman smoking tobacco...
Whoever's writing this seems to be cribbing a lot from Vagrant Story.

I wish!
(In the context of being made by FFXIV staff, it's not so much "brought back" as "continued using," though; XIV itself is on a heavily modified Crystal Tools fork.)

I wouldn't go by one journalist's say-so, since he appears to be talking more about the graphics quality and aesthetic than the engine tech. Plus, according to dev interviews, with XIV they actually scrapped the whole engine and started over with a "completely different" engine optimised for online functions when they moved to ARR. Until we get an actual interview confirming the engine, I'm staying sceptical about this claim, which seems to be based on nothing but a trailer's visual style and quality, with some sarcasm thrown in.

Pretty sure FFVI had mechs in it, but okay. When there's a release date I'll probably be hyped at that point. Til then, I sleep.

I'm looking forward to FFXVI, I liked the trailer that I saw, and that combat, if it is actually game-play, looks like fun, and looks like something I would enjoy. I'm also very curious about the story that this game will have, and I wish Yoshida and his team luck on FFXVI, and looking forward to getting this game when it comes out or around that time. It also helps that I wanted to see a medieval-styled Final Fantasy game after XV, which I enjoyed as well, and and I'm excited at the fact that it is medieval-styled.
