Game trailer hints at what has and hasn't been added yet

    After rewatching the old E3 2016 cinematic trailer, I noticed there was stuff that wasn't shown in the game (and some that were already added).

    • A fiddle instrument being played by a pirate.
    • Cats and parrots.
    • Sharks and if you look closely, you can see a stingray! Which means more aquatic life.
    • Group of Merfolk collecting loot from sunken ship.
    • The Gold Hoarder's skull in an ancient vault room.
    • First glance of Flameheart in his skeletal form.
    • Bats can be shown flying around him, so possible pets (which appear to be sighted in the game flying in the sky)?

    Half of the stuff shown in this trailer has been added to the game, which means the rest will arrive at some point in the future.

    You, my friend, are a parrot - you're parroting what I have been saying for the past 3 years. Rare was quoted saying that everything you see in the advertising will eventually make it into the game itself.

    Here's another 1 for you - a torn map with multiple pieces is clearly visible in the opening trailer (a gold hoarder vault voyage), and has been in front of us since day 1. 🤯

    This shows that Rare definitely has a long-term road-map that they're not sharing with us. Heck, the entire Insider outfit can be seen on the Insider sign-up page; it has been there since the Insider program started, and it still hasn't been fully released in-game yet!

    I have been unabashedly studying that trailer, and other sources, for clues since its E3 debut 4 years ago.

    All I want is the crab pet from the Tall Tales trailer. He's so incredibly cute Rare, please, please, please let us have a cantankerous crustacean as a pet!

    @galactic-geek That makes sense about them advertising stuff that will appear in future updates, especially the Crab being a potential pet, appearing in every single trailer (which at first I thought was a running gag lol).

    Oh, that little guy? He's in all of the cinematic trailers. My favorite is when he holds a tiny sword at the end of the Arena trailer: https://youtu.be/OVYP0qhz030

    Starting to think that the pirate in the 2018 E3 trailer is holding a Wayfinder; not a compass. 😅

    @galactic-geek Name your price Rare. I'll give you anything. Gold? Dubloons? My soul!? I'd cast it all into Davy Jones' locker just to hold this adorable crab!

    1 could argue that the Cursed Sails teaser trailer secretly debuted fog: https://youtu.be/jFJ2MTLm1vI

    Just because it may appear in game doesn't guarantee it as a pet. It could be a new animal for the Merchant Alliance or Hunter's Call. Fancy some crab meat?

    @galactic-geek I was wondering if lobsters would be a better food choice in the game to find on beaches or underwater to cook, I would never eat those adorable crabs, even if it added boosted health.

    I just spotted a nose-ring on the official SoT YouTube channel splash-banner: https://www.youtube.com/c/SeaofThieves

    Jewelry semi-confirmed! 👍

    I'd love for the kraken to be able to snap the masts, you can see it in the cinematic trailer.

    @mferr11 I would much rather this instead of just being held!

    Quick question - from a gameplay perspective, what would be the point of it snapping the mast(s) if you're already stuck in the ink?

    Also, I'm surprised nobody's gone "wow!" at some of the revelations I have given in my posts within this thread.

    @galactic-geek Wow.

    @galactic-geek Well it would make the Kraken more threatening, seeing as it could do more damage to the ship. I just think it would be cool honestly. Such a legendary creature, yet all it does is slaps the ship a little.
