The big spoiler in the Heavensward opening/trailer was a huge mistake. (spoilers obv)

imo the problem is the opening is going to play in the title screen for Heavensward expansion. So if a new player who bought both ARR and Heavensward in a go (AKA has Heavensward expansion installed but is on ARR story) come and play game, they would undoubtedly be spoiled if they stuck around and watched the opening.

Like I said previously, there is a good chance that SE would pull a Bravely Default on the title screen where what you are shown depends on how far you are in the story. So, if you had at least one character that has completed the 2.55 storyline, the Heavensward cinematic plays at the start. Else, the End of Era 2.0 cinematic gets shown.
