I find it amazing how much is in these two trailers
In this one, we see various things, such as demian’s group. But what I want to give more attention to is the ending. Specifically, the screaming, chanting and laughter, before the last Lament. This implies something terrible is going to happen. There’s also the line “May you find your sins” spoken at the very end.
The disaster part adds to the theory that fans talk about, which is that dante’s head is the doomsday clock, a metaphorical clock that ticks down whenever humanity gets close to killing itself, and when it strikes midnight, that’s the apocalypse. Potentially millions of people may die in the end. (this is further reinforced by the fact that apparently the fourth project moon game [if they don’t make distortion detective next] is going to be a city builder. The youtube comment that mentioned the doomsday clock apocalypse theory made the joke of “Sinner Skylines”)
Potentially, this may also be why the main lines of “In Hell We Live, Lament” are “in this Inferno, we built for Ourselves”. Potentially, the city might end up being destroyed (or just laid to ruin, as in Demian’s vision that he tells us about in canto 3 of him climbing a giant ladder, with every light in the city being turned off), as humanity breaks out of the hell it made itself. This would also serve as a massive contrast to the last two games, which are all about humanities’ potential in itself and how it can achieve so much, as shown through EGO and manifesting one’s own mental state in the actual, real world. Humanities’ greatness in being able to do all this would contrast immensely with humanity destroying it’s greatest accomplishment, The City, due to it’s own desires and sins.
Then we have the other teaser
This one has importance in that we see sneak peaks of every sinner’s canto. I do mean EVERY, we can see images from canto 4 and 5 (this was released over a year ago), and images that don’t exist in limbus yet, like hong lu in white dress sitting on their house above a crowd below, with red talismans falling down.
Also, note how in this one, the song ends without any of the screams.
