I played SMTVV and then SMTIV duology, and thinking back on SMTV I am so much less engaged with its world because outside of D'aat it's just modern day Japan again. Like yeah there's supernatural forces and the apocalypse is happening but the default is the masquerade. Even the stuff like the prime minister of Japan is Tsukuyomi you can't do much with because all that knowledge is limited to inside Bethel.

Will's village burned down. Strohl's village burned down. Burnt village backstory buddies. They can bond over the aftereffects of smoke inhalation.

Things I noticed from the launch trailer:

Girl with cool black and white cape with circles on it. Seems important, in both shots her face isn't shown (back is to camera, wearing helmet)

Strohl dramatically falling through the sky!

Weird lance thing Louise has, where blade reaches from one end of the lance and attaches at the other. There's a shot of Will holding it, and also of another character with a bracelet grabbing it (it looks all burnt up in this shot, so maybe a different weapon here?).

Thor SMT! Probably from one of the archetypes, maybe the same one that summons Jack Frost.
