Yes, I am sure. It was in one of the streams right after the trailer came out. They had the head of SE Movie team and Soken as guests, and they discussed the time constraints. I am not sure if it is recorded anywhere...

So you said that the heavensward movie trialer is compose on differet time lines of the story?
That those events we will happen on a near future?
But I believe you on the mistake, It makes sense if it was Nidhog the ones that atacks the hyur on the steps of faith and that leads tht massive army of dragons. But it pissed me off that they made something that didnt make sense at all.
If you have the PS3 expansion you see an af2 draggon fighting with the white dragon when it should be Nidhoog, and they just let that to happen? e.e
My bad, I misunderstood what you said, I think you respond to someone that said something of what I meaned.
But getting back to the movie trailer, all those concept arts with the white dragon ( complicated name xd ) and the af2 dragoon, you said all that shouldnt suppose to happen that way?
In the move trailer itself (As this was the only thing addressed)
Yoshi P and the FF14 give the Square Enix Visual Arts (SEVA) team the storyboard and concept art of all the dragons, and what they want in the trailer.
SEVA, which handles ALL the CG movies across all games, starts work on the movie. They were also, it seems, working on at least the FF7 re-release trailer, and FF15 cinematics, at this time.
They prepare the first demonstration of the trailer for HW, and show the FF14 team. At some point, the art for Hraesfalger and Nidhogg have gotten mislabeled or switched.
Yoshi P and the FF14 team see this, and request they fix it. The SEVA team responds that if they do that, they won't be able to meet the Heavensward release date. (Remember, work on the movies takes over a year to complete).
Yoshi P then has to decide: release a slightly wrong trailer, or release no trailer.
So, Hraersfalger appears in the trailer where Nidhogg should have been. Note that the head of SEVA didn't actually know their names, and only called them 'white' dragon and 'black' dragon.
As for other drawing and concept art released to the public, no mention was made, to my knowledge.
You gotta admit that. that "mistake" make confuse to a lot of people xD
When they did the end of an era video, the movie had more connection with the game,, but the heavensward, despite is was really good, I dont denied it. It wa sno conexion whatsoever with the events of the story.
End of an Era was for the loyal players of F1.0.
HW was an advert to potential players.
Those teaser are not meant to be 'real'.
They are meant to be eye catching.
