New teaser trailer was okay, but the tone and the music choice caught me off guard.

If they wanted to go with 'Welcome to the filler beach expansion, have fun with your vacation." Then sure. But I was very thrown off with the entire tone of the trailer. It didn't give me the feeling that I expected, so good job subverting my expectations I guess?

I wanted a "Welcome to a whole new world with another great journey that awaits you." Instead of "Woo! We on vacation, guys! Let's get piss drunk and party rock while shoving big fat tacos in our face"

Yeah, I know what you mean. It was a little too light-hearted, and I can see this trailer throwing off people who are new to the game. From an outsider's perspective, people are probably going to ask: "what the hell is this, what is the objective of this game?" I bet some might end up thinking that Dawntrail is a spin-off of FFXIV, much like how Mario Party was a spin-off of a regular Mario game or how DOA Beach Volleyball was a spin-off of the usual DOA fighting game.

It's an RPG. This looks like a "where the story is going" teaser (and where it is going looks pretty interesting). And those conspicuous people must be the main cast that older players would recognise?

Plus you get to fight some kind of giant two-headed Mayincaztec demon thing with giant swords. Cool.

The trailer clearly shows some sort of adventure going on, including a fight between the MC and a two-headed creature, so I'm not sure why anyone would think this is a FFXIV spinoff. From what we've heard of 7.0, it's going to be a much more light-hearted adventure than what we've been dealing with these past few expansions. I think the music fit fine, and really set the tone of "We're finally getting to have some fun after all the shit we've had to deal with."
