Questioning this now

Heyo guys
So we all know that the shb cgi trailer featured most of the characters we love and yadayada but I am wondering why they didn't add alphinaud and alisae.

Like alphinaud had probably the most character development I have ever seen in a character , some may disagree but *shrug*, kinda confused why he wasn't included, the same with alisae.

I think it's because they changed very little, so they wanted to show off the characters that had more character design changes.

It probably comes down to screen time. More chars -> less screentime per char and given that these cinematics are still super difficult to render and thus pretty darn expensive, a cut had to be made somewhere.
