Wait what? the Protoss spent more time fighting themselves than they did the Zerg.
It's the primary reason they couldn't fight the Zerg they were too busy with civil wars between the player and Aldaris while the Zerg were invading Aiur and Shakuras. That's exactly what I thought. I guess they eventually united against the common enemy? I thought it was about their unity in Khala, not about their unity as a race... I would say it is probably more about unity in smoking pot in the writer's rooms at Blizzard.
Or that. But hey, c'mon, remember the start of HotS? And then "it was just a dream" with waking Sarah. And later "it wasn't a dream at all, it was a vision!" with ending of HotS 
ANYWAY! This video doesn't answer the most crucial question of LotV - Will I see the wedding of Sarah and Jim?! I am expecting happy end and free Aiur with wedding seems very good to me! I was really disappointed by the ending scene of HotS. Tears were shed and I was pissed when Sarah just flew away from Jim.
In reality I would like to have multiple endings - super happy ending, Jim & Sarah together, free universe from Xel'naga, happy Protoss on free Aiur(ending #1). Then another ending(#2) with Sarah sacrificing herself to stop Amon so I can cry again And then the famous ending(#3) of the Protoss mini-campaign from WoL - we failed, just create the archives. Because the mission is so much fun

Civil war against Aldaris ? x.x wtf he found out Kerrigan is controlling the Dark Templar through their Matriarch. Worst mission I had to do ever, cause I knew he was right and then Kerrigan kills him and as a result Fenix dies too and she basically destroys any of her opposition.
Also Zealots are chickens, that have an emergency teleport if they get to heavily wounded. And if the wounds are to severe they let themself be integrated into a Dragoon.
I mean their death animation was always about that teleport and not being a blue blooded pile on the ground.

They are not chickens! They have the courage to return and sacrifice again! No PTSD, only courage(sigh, we cannot hold  ).

And the secret final mission where you discover the nel'zaga, a protoss/terran hybrid race. In sc3 expect the siege colossus.

Yup, Terran Zerg hybrid bred by Jim and Sarah is a part of the happy ending

That would be a downgrade from regular colossus.

It's a siege tank that fires the colossus in a ball and the colossus explodes like a revear scarab and lasers swiping in all directions. Definitely a nerf.

Also the siege tank is on a colossus so it can be sieged and walk cliffs up and down! :-)

Sounds awfully familiar to something we've already seen...

The cinematic is great, thou I gotta say I liked HOTS much more:
Hype apart, we only got to see few units fighting. Also, what exactly happened to the archon? It seems like it imploded and took the ultra with it?
Id like it more if the archon would not fight in melle range, as the way I see an archon is to create psionic waves rather than electricity based melle atacks.
I did like A LOT how the warp in pylon looked. Thats EXACTLY how it is supposed to look, like a black hole warping in, not the sc2 weird mine craft blocks coming together :D.
EDIT: Also, I thought that now, since Kerrigan is no longer EVIL (Ill laught my ass of if she is trolling everyone AGAIN), why are the zerg fighting the protoss?

Pretty sure the zerg on aiur are still rogue and leaderless. Don't think Kerrigan has control over the entire swarm after the events of HOTS.

My lore isn't that good, but if I am wrong someone will correct me, so IIRC:
1) Archon is unstable so after a while they "implode". It's good for storytelling because archons have huge power and can have MORE templars than two(in some story there was a 7 templar archon I think). They are that much overpowered that they shine 1 000 times lighter so they burn 1 000 times faster
(also the funny theory is that they went back in time to save John Connor )
2) At the beginning archon used this attack to kill zerglings. I loved it so much! And then 1v1 vs Ultralisk.
3) Not sure now, but I think that on the top details it looks this way, now I have to look at it at home(I play on high since setting is shared and my second PC cannot handle ultra settings as the main does).
4) Kerrigan owns hers swarm only, the rest of the Zerg is owned by their brood mothers(e.g. Zagara) or they are just without any leadership. Since the overmind on Aiur was destroyed
+ Show Spoiler + I say it's the latter Only the Overmind was controlling the whole Zerg
I hope I remember everything properly

Imo this trailer is obviously about the very start of the re-invasion of aiur, the first scouting force thats trying to set up a vantage point on the surface. Since the campaign will probably revolve alot around retaking aiur it wouldnt make sense to show the full-scale invasion right in the trailer since that probably comes later down the road, And the cinematics have always been these sorts of foreshadowing buildups to the actual story, except hots but that was kerrigans dream after all.

Did anyone else scream ENTARO ADUN!!! at the end of this trailer! OMG!!! I love the Protoss race!!

Of course, I always said that Zerg needs for LotV a "Hannibal upgrade" for Ultralisks based on the roach-hydra unit. After the upgrade Ulralisk can have a queen riding on Ultra's back and giving it AA protection/transfuses. With this upgrade Ultralisk can go up/down cliffs the same way Colossus can.

I'm suddenly reminded of this thread

more specifically this post.

good trailer better than 2nd part hearth of the swarm
|
These trailers never disappoint, would've been nice to see some air support at the end though. Love carriers!
|
the scope was quite underwhelmig - fight was nice, quality is typical Blizzard perfection..
but i was hoping for a bit more in every aspect.. the entire thing was 1 warped in pylon then 10-15 Zealots.. i thought they would continue the space teaser with thousands of zealots and shit..
I WANTED EPICNESS
