If I had to tie it to another Final Fantasy I'd say XVI is shaping up to be a darker, grittier, more violent version of XII.

Not a terrible amount of combat, but it seems to be a better refined version of XV mixed with elements of the FF7 remake. The Devil May Cry influence is also noticeable (combat director came from the DMC franchise).

Demo decidedly does not suck. Heavy on the exposition and world-building, but if executed well this game could be absolutely brilliant. 

Ok - it seems I must dust off the PS5 and play the FF demo.  I haven't enjoyed a FF game since XII, so it might be time to jump back in.  Hated XV's combat (played the demo).
