A sorta sneaky piece from the shadowbringer trailer

#DerplanderHasArrivedToARR

Derplander's account was banned for botting. He's on a new account, having flashbacks of his past life. Him changing swiftly into the other jobs is him using multiple jump potions.

Often companies use real life models to base a character's face on, anyone know if they used one for the cgi WoL? Or maybe it's a question that can be thrown up at the fanfest Q&A.

Another sneaky piece (imo) was them using Kuribu and Winged Lion in the trailer. I was a little surprised how little people realized they used bosses from Lost City of Amdapor (hard) in the trailer. Possibly Amdapor is related to this or it is some pretty good symbolism for him fighting light.

The ones we fought in Amdapor were statues. The ones in the trailer seem to be very much alive. I'd go with the latter idea given the whole "light and dark need to be balanced" thing the other Warriors of Darkness had been talking about.

Personally I'd say that it was probably that whatever people worked on the cinematic was pulling from existing "Light" enemies for the trailer...which we don't currently have a lot of. The Gremlin probably ISN'T Light-aligned, which I'd say supports my point because it DOES appear in the same dungeon as said Light enemies.

Well don't forgot that derplander and crew are the Warriors of Darkness so we are really see him struggle in his world being over taking with Light.

While I really can't say it means anything, when the flashback at the begining is happening, it shows one glimpse of each era (ARR, HW, SB) but shows a frame from the 1.0 opening in between each and every one of them? Also if you look back at the 1.0 opening right at the end of the part the new trailer pulled from (the echo vision) it almost gives the impression of him being consumed by the light right as the vision ends...in fact that frame is the last one shown in the new trailer. Food for thought maybe?
