These will have less-hectic cuts and more calming music that will really show what Spirits is all about. Thanks for the feedback!

You don't know me, but I know you. I agree with Pete that the beginning was too hectic. You don't really get a sense what the game is all about. But the texts with the moving backgrounds were neat. Also I hated the new music, the original was much better and fitted the mood of the game better. Finally there should be more subtitles explaining the game more. Oh and for some reason, every time I watched the trailer I felt that it should have showed the puzzle in 0:31 a little longer. Don't really know why exactly that one, but overall some clips can last longer than half a second. ;) Hello there! You don’t know me, but I know you.

Of course, you'd have to mention it early, or the colourful gameplay would make them turn it off straight away. Hm.

Great work with it! I really like the fly-over effect at 00:16. Though I'm going to disagree with everyone else about the ending, I think it works pretty well. However, the beginning now again seems a little _too_ hectic to me. Sorry I'm being really nit-picky, but one short silence in the beginning, while showing the VG logo, might be better. Apart from that, it's great! Way better indeed! Great work with it! I really like the fly-over effect at 00:16.
