    Makes me think tokyo team animated these cutscenes specificaIIy for the traiIer since the same case is true for DDD's first pubIic traiIer, where the characters actuaIIy animate Iike their KH1 seIves

    I always remembered the Terra & Ventus scene, for it heavily paralleled the scene between Xemnas & Roxas at the Dark Margin in KH2. Complete with walking past and placing the hand on their shoulder. Given how those characters related to each other, I can imagine it was intentional.

    Now seeing the "beta" of the command deck i can see why they had them switch focus to re chain of memories, they could use it as an experimental testing ground of the idea of the battle system, however it is pretty clear the negative reception of com's battle system did not help the osaka team, so they switched gears.
    Something must've "clicked" between the entire team and so they merged concepts of the prototype, chain of memories, and kh2 to the final result we got

That would created a nice call back with Xemnas first hood off appearence in kh2. That would explained why he choses this particular place, in this particular summit. Because he would have felt some kind of connection from/with Ventus, the same he did with aqua's armor in the secret lab !

    It fucking kills me that Terra's controls seem more snappy and fun to control than the actual game, the same with how Flowmotion in the DDD trailers were more snappy and less floaty. And the fact that Terra seems more committed to the "I'm going down the evil path" aspect.
    Also the fact that Aqua's gameplay is the most competent even though she wasn't even finished in the early trailers... And Ventus was only ready in the second trailer yet it's Terra that feels like he could use more beta-testing, even though he's the first one to have any gameplay being shown in trailers at all... How??? What kind of nonsense happened in development to give us this backward result???
    I can almost swear that Osaka looks at something good they have and go "wow! This is fun! Let's ruin it!".

Also interesting note, this wasn't the first time we saw re-used locations that were later scrapped. I recall one of the earliest KH2 trailers showing Sora confronting the Organization in the caste gate exterior of Hollow Bastion from KH1. I was always bummed that wasn't in the final game.
