Haha, I thought the same thing. "Wonder if he's in school today..."

I can't wait for the Destiny Updates breakdown of this video so that I can understand what I just watched :)

Ever play Final Fantasy VIII? It's just like the Lunar cry!

So Earthlings have only been going to Luna for a few hundred years and the Hive has lived there for ions, supposedly,

Yeah, I know, it's weird. You can go anywhere to mine for ions, but they go to Luna? And don't even touch the H3?

yet we're going to stake our claim to an inhabited alien world. Neat to see the Last City has colonial ambitions!

How deep is the character customization in Destiny? Because I totally want my character to look like this:

I was just playing with the calendar, and an early-winter Beta with a late-Spring final release is similar to the Halo 3 and Reach beta-to-release timetables. I really didn't expect the release that early, but I won't argue! :)

The game looks really polished, and they have official box art already (which usually doesn't come out until a few months before launch). It just seemed likely that it would come out in the first half of the year. I didn't see it being a fall or even summer release, and I've been guessing spring for a while now.

... was the quick shot of the long-dead, older-style astronaut on the Moon.

That brief shot said a lot. Loved it.

There were a couple of things I was wondering about the moon. Would there be sound, which it appears there is, and would they adjust the gravity for each location? I can't see anything in the trailer that let's me know about gravity.

I think it would be amazing to have low gravity and at least different sounds (like the muted effects in the Saber sequences in Reach), but at the very least, I hope they provide some sort of interesting explanation for why locations are Earth-normal. This is Bungie, so I presume they will...

And if there is an explanation, hopefully it's a localized or temporary effect, to allow for the gravity/air/sound to be turned off for segments of realistic-space fun. Some of my most memorable sequences from Mass Effect were the couple of times I took a 'space walk'. Combine that with Bungie gunplay and it could provide some very neat twists in your run-throughs....

A very un-Bungie trailer

Would love to hear more about why you say this. Thanks!

And no, I'm not being contentious, just genuinely curious.

Looks like maybe not, there was a lot of sliding going on on that there moon. I'd think that would work quite differently in low-grav.

Someone forgot to include the part where someone does a giant, wonderfully long and floaty jump due to the low gravity when on the surface of the moon.

Sort of like Halo 3 jumps but in Destiny. Low gravity has to be in, right?

Well, we do have glides/double jumps in all depravities at least :)

The Guardian in the center wears a helmet kinda similar to the Sangheili Ranger from Reach. Neato!

No, wait, nevermind... those swords are HUGE.

Scenery for sure. Or for huge foes.

Did the narrator sound familiar to anyone else?

It's the same voice from the other trailers... There's definitely been a bunch of discussion around who the voice actor could be, though. I don't know if anyone has officially said who it is yet.
