However, this trailer is a bad trailer by itself. The trailers for seasons 3 parts 1 and 2 did a good job because they were only using shots from the first episode of their respective parts (eventually, one or two shots for episode 2/3), and we were able to make a synopsis out of them, thanks to the dialogues. For season 4 trailer, that's mostly a mix of random shots from all over the season, and there's extremely spoilery stuff. It looks like it is a trailer made for the mangea readers, not the anime-onlies. I'd even recommend a friend of mine who's still at chapter 121 not to watch that trailer. *

As a side note, we can see shots from the final arc. Does this mean there's no hiatus ? That'll surprise me, but it could make sense considering Marley arc and Final cart can't be cut into two equals parts. The fact that we saw things from the final arc might mean that, if this season is split cour, everything we saw might be in part 1. I agree that it was a little strange to see so much in one trailer given this series' track record of keeping stuff secret, but that made me realize that its because either there is no break, or there will be one and everything we saw is part 1 which is awesome.

Also remember, the manga isn't done yet, so we don't know how much is left to cover. Isayama did aspire to end the series this year, but it was already looking doubtful even before it took last month off. Not to mention he's the king of thinking something will only cover a certain length but then realizing it needs more time.
