Second this.

Consider this:
HW gave us flying.
SB gave us swimming.
ShB gives us travel between worlds. (World visit system)
This is tied into the lore via travel between shards.

Of the two 'zones' we get in ShB (Like Gyr Abania and Othard) one will be in our shard, the source, the other will be in the first shard.

I think Thancred and Minfilia in the trailer, are in fact in the first shard, a world overrun by beings of light (stone lion, Kuribu, etc.)
While Uriangier and Y'shtola in our shard, but inhabited by the souls of others (Matoya and an as-of-yet unknown character, potentially Louisoix?)
