Well, I know I shouldn't be so optimistic, BUT:
 * The anime crew works closely with Isayama, meaning that they CAN NOT screw the ending that bad.
 * The preview of Episode 25 MUST NOT contain any images or hints of what's going to happen, since it's gonna be screened in theaters and they need viewers to pay for their tickets.

I am a bit scared to be so optimistic, though, since only the anime crew (and not Isayama) will attend to the event, and they like butchering the characters as seen in the Yonkomas and Kunrenheidan specials (even if it's for comedic purposes).
