In the eventual next F-ZERO game, would you rather have the game be gritty like GX, or colorful like MK8?

To be honest I'd like them to go for a totally new art-style. I'm thinking something that tries to recreate the spirit of mid-90's vector graphics. Something really retro-futuristic would be a cool direction for F-Zero. I could even see them adding elements of Thumper into the gameplay to make it a hybrid rhythm/racing game. Go crazy with it.
I wouldnt call it colourful nor girtty, but I would go with the artsyle used in the SNES F-Zero manual
But of course, with all the new characters the rest of the series added on.
What we really need to get rid of GX, and the only thing i really didnt like from that game, is the electro music.
X and Climax style, or super eurobeat with Takenobu adding some crazy lyrics to each of the cups final track.

Whatever aesthetic fits the Melee version of Mute City is what I want
Best track and best rendition of an F-Zero track PERIOD

Get SEGA to develop it again and I guarantee it sounds like this.
There will never be another F Zero. Hell Nintendo has not made another Wii Sports type game when it was so successful.
Following their trend I bet they shelve Animal Crossing since it has been so good this gen.

This right here.
Also while X is gritty GX is far from it. GX is uncompromised DC era Sega weirdness.
I suppose the OP means by gritty the darker palette used in most of the racetracks and charater styles (going for realistic depictions, and things like Deathborn denitetly looks gritty and edgy). Its not gritty in themes or characters behaviour at all lol
And then some racetracks like Big Blue looks sega blue skies clean.
I doubt we will ever see a new F-Zero game again. At this point I would be happy having a collection of the series on Switch.
I honestly didn't know they had MK8 tracks for it and that actually annoys me more. They know there is a demand but they are happier just making bits of dlc instead of a proper game.

This is me. I loved GX but not to the same standard as the SNES or in particular X on N64.
I'd really love a sequel to x with far less visual distraction than GX had in the scenery and more cars on screen. Hell bring back battle mode and make it an online battle royal with 100 cars on a track.
Gimme the grit and techno soundtrack, I hate the Jazz theme they used in MK8, espicially that blooming saxophone player.
I'm cool with either but I've always wanted them to double down on the comic book aesthetic of X's art work.
THIS THIS THIS. If we get ever get a new F-Zero, I would love to see it use X's art style as the basis for how it looks. It could look really gorgeous.
I'd want whatever aesthetic is necessary to make futuristic racing games financially viable rather than demanding anything in particular.
The next F-Zero is gonna have the style and aesthetic of Cowboy Bebop. Captain Falcon is a grizzled old vet who's just hopping from race to race looking for the next winnings. His days of bounty hunting are long over.
Make it moderately realistic. It basically looks like Power Rangers right now which is fine. It's extremely stupid and all of the characters in F-Zero are awful, but the semi-realistic graphics help to portray what is important: the thrilling speed and twisting insanity of the tracks.

I never once thought of GX as gritty. Heck, it's one of the campiest games I've ever played. Look up some of the post race interviews or endings for the racers.
I still don't know how to feel about the Gomar and Shioh one.
I think the best of both worlds would be a soft remake of the OG and prequel to X, using the SNES artstyle with modern graphics, and story wise showcasing the events that happened before X.
The game starts colorful and midway through the great crash happens, unlocking cups taking place during the underground races era, with grittier environments and soundtrack.
We ain't getting that ever. At this point I don't believe in ever getting an upscaled GX port tbh. On Switch, not even emulation. 60fps + special effects tied to GC hardware like the heat waves in Sand Ocean make it a remarkably difficult title to emulate properly, and I'd rather the franchise stay dead than a butchered port.
