Stormblood Launch Trailer

[RaijinSupreme]

I mean, you may be right. They may just be removing her for the main story once again so other characters have the opportunity to shine. perhaps she'll just convalesce and rejoin us later on or be so injured she'll never be the same etc etc. still, she doesn't come out of that encounter whole which we now know for certain, whereas before with the splice we see in Revolutions trailer, it was just "they're in danger." this is spoiling a major development whether she dies or is critically injured.

....or the point was to have you guessing and speculating, the way you are now. That's actually the point of a trailer in general lol. You see something that makes you think something will happen, but you don't know for sure, so it makes you want to watch the movie/play the game to find out.

Isn't that what's happening here?

Another example. There's a part in the trailer where we see the lower body of a man carrying a lance. It looks like he's wearing some bad ass dragoon gear, and is possibly a NPC.

First guess: Estinien.

But we didn't actually see his face, so we don't know for certain if it is Estinien or not..

SO... is that spoiling that Estinien is coming back? Did that trailer tell us for certain that he's back? Or is it doing what trailers are supposed to do and have us guessing that it could be him?
