AO Trailer Analysis

So, as of today, the trailer for AO is public! Though I’ve written this a few days ago as a draft, so I’ve seen it already.

I’m gonna be posting some of the things I’ve noticed, and you can feel free to do so yourself in the replies.
Starting off, we get a nice clip of the first cutscene at Dawn island, some sailing clips, showcases of a few islands, and some other things like cooking and treasure charts. Cool stuff :slightly_smiling_face::+1:

Now getting into the real interesting stuff, we see a cutscene that clearly takes place in Ravenna, showing what seems to be lady carina. Originally I thought she’d be fought inside an arena like other bosses, but maybe you fight her out in the open?

Of course it is still possible that she could take us somewhere else to fight her, but it’s still interesting to note

Next we see a guy flying, probably the final boss of the bronze sea. His arm turns white, and then his entire body turns translucent. I wonder if this is the holder of the glass curse?

Next we get to see Elius, in the cutscene where you choose to kill or spare him. His 3 weapons are also visible in this clip and they look pretty cool!

After this, we get a clip of the fight with Argos, whos arena is a lot bigger than I thought it would be, we also get a clip of a tester fighting Elius, which looks fun.

After that, we get a few cool clips such as a tester blowing up some blackwater criminals with a gunpowder barrel and fighting npcs on a ship, a nice view from sailors lodge, and a few cool shots of a fleet sailing through the jaws.

So, anything interesting you guys have found in the trailer? I’ve never been the type to deeply analyze things like this so I’d like to see some if you point out any small details I’ve missed, and some speculation about the story parts shown.

Also, I thought the dude that became transparent was part of chapter 2’s “A brutal fight” story objective?

bruh lady carina looks so boring :fr:

aw well

she’s just a woman version of the cernunno forest dude

could be but i feel like its closer visually to glass than ice with the spikes coming out of him and stuff

the new ice visuals arent really spikey

just say youre disappointed you dont find her attractive

You didn’t waste no fucking time huh?

this is a seriously hype trailer though

I mean even if she did look cooler I couldn’t find a lego person attractive in any scenario

because, you know, they a lego person

also

THE GLASS CURSE IS CANON?

as far as i know every magic has a curse, even ones added after aa

youd have to ask vetex about that though

my headcanon is that glass magic is like a weaker version of shatter (aa mutation) or something

both of them involve breaking so it makes sense in my head

remember that vetex said this, wonder what that means

bruh with all the goth mommy memes i forgot lady carina doesnt actually look like that. I just assumed that was cannon it took me like five minutes to realize who she was

what does he mean by not directly using a curse?
