Do these kind of sets try to make coherent draft archetypes for pairs/shards or just jam in cards that make references to the original source?
Kinda? We've only actually had one draftable UB set so far.
So if this was designed like the LotR set... yeah, sure, it'll have draft archetypes. We just have no idea what they might be until spoilers come closer, because they prioritize showcasing the Ooh Aah Shiney cards over stuff like draft signposts.
EDIT: Now I'm imagining what it'd look like if we all announced a new Cube project by showing off 10-12 cards and giving no other information besides the name. What cards would you even show people?

Seems likely. The chances of there being two evil geniuses of your particular malevolence seem vanishingly small.
is the theme "art I'm vibing" cause this is 9/9 bangers
sorry im under nda
Onderzeeboot
Ecstatic Orb
If there are any good cards in this set for my cube, I'm going to make proxies. Dear lord does the art style clash with regular Magic cards!
I agree with the special treatments and some of the more FF specific arts, but the regular art for this one just looks like a normal card to me:
Onderzeeboot
Ecstatic Orb
Oh, normal Celes isn't that bad, I agree! Hadn't seen that art. But then there's stuff like Cloud, Planet's Champion with the obvious anime hair, and Jumbo Cactuar that's a meme cactus. I'll have to decide on a case by case basis, looks likeI agree with the special treatments and some of the more FF specific arts, but the regular art for this one just looks like a normal card to me:
Yeah I feel you on that, I'm mostly not playing anything UB that's too ridiculous art-wise in my cube. Stuff like Mawloc or Wizard's Rockets I can kinda justify, but anything that sticks out too much is a no-go. Same for any really dumb naming conventions for a card.
