After playing Final Fantasy XVI game for about 8-10 hours at the two media tour Square Enix invited me to, here's my review on the chunks of soundtrack of the game I've played in the media tour demos / heard in the trailers, explained from the perspective of a Music Composer & Producer.
Also including some excerpts from Masayoshi Soken's interview with Denfaminicogamer (which I copiously mispronounced as "Denfamicomgamer" throughout the video, sigh).

You can read their full interview here (in Japanese): https://news.denfaminicogamer.jp/inte...
