Random Observations:

There's a blue haired Garlean who looks like he'll be important. Perhaps he is Lord Nerva? There's also another Garlean, seen only from behind, standing in the train car. He's another candidate for Lord Nerva. Given his location, it seems he's in charge of looking out for the survivors within Garlemald itself.

Emet-Selch is present. Whether it's just an Echo vision or something similar, I don't know - but it's good to see that he'll be playing a part in the story for a bit longer.

What looks suspiciously like the Garlean symbol is present above the doorway in the zone briefly shown off with statues and gothic aesthetics.

Venat/Hydaelyn is as vague as ever. She seems a lot more aloof than Emet-Selch. I think we'll see the player character meet up with her a few times and perhaps even travel with her for a bit, learning her perspective and thoughts. Of course, that doesn't mean that goals and opinions will necessarily align. We shall have to wait and see.

It looks like the final zone may very well be some sort of 'underworld/aetherial sea' type deal. Not entirely unsurprising and it makes for some creepy but eerily beautiful aesthetics which I'm pleased to see.


I'll have to watch it a few more times when I'm more awake but that's the stuff that stood out to me the most.
