Small detail: We don't see the name of Cai's Blaze Art
The names fade away after a while, so it's possible they just chose the end of the animation because it's the most cinematic, but it's also possible the name is some kind of spoiler.

Will Fortune's Weave have a third trailer revealing its central hook like Three Houses?
Hello chaps,
Fortune's Weave does not just share Three Houses' setting and main artist, but also, I'd argue, the structure of the trailers to a certain extent.
While Three Houses' announcement trailer was more cryptic, and Fortune's Weave didn't introduce the avatar until its second showing, both announcement trailers include information you'd expect like the main setting, core components of the story, new gameplay features, names of the protagonists, and then wrap up with Sothis.
The second trailers both feature a cheerful advertisement voice explaining central gameplay features in more depth, properly introduce the protagonists and finish things off with some cryptic scenes.
"Well duh", you might think, and I won't pretend like this is some kind of revelation. The thing is, just over a month before Three Houses released, Nintendo dropped the time skip trailer which turned everything we had been shown on its head. Before that they had only ever shown academy phase footage. We're three months away from Fortune's Weave releasing, and I believe we have only been shown footage taking place during the Heroic Games, barring maybe any scenes with Sothis and Eshmel.
Whether its a time skip or something else is of course difficult to say - most of us have probably seen the "time traveling adventure" part of the description of Fortune's Weave - but I definitely think we're missing something central. The Heroic Games, as far as we know, only last between the first month of the calendar to the 11th or maybe 12th, so it's safe to say something will happen right before, during or immediately after the finale. Could be the portal to the underworld we saw, but how that would dramatically change the structure of the game is hard to say, unless Fortune's Weave version of the war phase is just duking it out with demons, which I doubt (because it'd be boring).
Also never forget brown-haired generic nun outfit Mercedes with a sword and bow Hilda from the first trailer.

Small detail: Theodora's right hand is covered by a golden gauntlet even when changing class
Plus that masked bloke also has bandages along his arm, with a blue strange blue hand.
People theorized she was hiding something even back in the first trailer. Could be anything from a prosthetic to magical shenanigans.

A small detail about Dagda's calendar
Hello chaps,
I've seen some folks still discussing the Dagdan calendar and whether or not it's the same as the one in Three Houses.
We actually have the name of the ninth month, Seftim, which doesn't have - or at least doesn't show - a specific name in Japanese, instead only showing it as 9月. This is different from Three Houses, in which the ninth month is called Horsebow Moon, or 角弓の節 in Japanese.
Obviously, this doesn't tell us much about the actual number of years separating Three Houses and Fortune's Weave, but it's safe to say it's a different calendar.
