Did anyone find any interesting details in the trailer that others might've missed?  Why don't we collect them here?
 
Note - the names of contributors are in bold next to their contribution.  Thanks, guys! And thanks too to Vazgen, who provided screengrabs.
 
 
Some Facts 

Here is the trailer

Spoiler
 

The song at the beginning is "Ghost Riders in the Sky" by Johnny Cash 
Spoiler


Observations & Speculations

0:13 - There seems to be some sort of luminescent creature on the right of shot - Vazgen
Spoiler

 

0:20: Note the word "ARK" just about "RW1" in the middle right of the screen.  It appears every time the N7 trooper switches between screens -Vazgen

Spoiler

 

0:24 - The first of the trailer's many Space Beetles can be seen in the middle of this shot - Vazgen

Spoiler

You can see a Space Beetle most clearly in this one - LucasIsCalling
Spoiler

Here are some of the others - LucasIsCalling
Spoiler


0:31 - Large flying creatures can be seen around the mountain
Spoiler

 
0:43 - There's a small golden globe at the bottom of the shot. It is reminisent of the small globe seen floating in the protagonist's hand in this bit of concept art:
Spoiler

 
0:45 - The ship the N7 trooper is presumably on makes a FTL trip (the destination is marked FTL Destination) - Vazgen.
Spoiler

 
0:49-0:55 - The ship's apparent FTL journey looks a lot like a trip through a Relay, except no Relay is apparent.  This may indicate that the ship uses technology derived directly from the Relays - in effect, it was it's own Relay - and may explain how humans reached Andromeda in the first place - Fidete Nemini. However, it may simply be how FTL jumps are portrayed in the new game - Sojourner83
 
1:03 - The N7 trooper seems to have a Carnifex - Nitrocuban. The design of the trooper's helmet looks like some sort of variation on the Capacitor or Kestrel helmets, with a completely closed upper section - Serza
Spoiler

Here are the Capatictor and Kestrel Helmets for comparison:
Spoiler


1:13 - The Mako charges down a hill. It is designated M-40; the original Mako was M-35 - Vazgen
Spoiler


1:19 - Some sort of horn or klaxon sounds. Is it a Reaper? - Fidite Nemini. Or is it a Collector or some other race?

1:26 - A number of towers emerge from the sand. Are they Prothean? - Heldarion. Geth? - azarhal
Spoiler

As possible evidence of Prothean design, compare the towers with the ones found at the Eden Prime digsite in From Ashes - alienatedflea
Spoiler

1:27 - Two figures - one Krogan, and the other a female human - can be seen running alongside the N7 trooper - Zehealingman. Mike Gamble confirmed it was a human woman in the trailer - ElitePinecone. These two may be the characters Drack and Cora mentioned in the leaked market research - ElitePinecone.  Note that the female is carrying a shotgun, which indicates she may be a Vanguard (since that's the signature weapon of that class) - Serza. It looks like the female may be wearing an N7 Breather Helmet and, if so, part of her face is visible, showing she is a human - Serza. If true, it may indicate that she is an N7 too.
Spoiler

Spoiler

 
1:28 - The N7 trooper's sheilds break
Spoiler

1:30 - The enemies can be seen, but are hard to identify.  What is easy to see is that they have the kind of backwards-bending legs seen a lot of the alien races in the ME universe. You can also see the light of the N7 Troopers rocket-jump system - Han Shot First.  Note that the Omni-blade is active. This may be part of a heavy melee move, or it may indicate the blade can be activated at will.

"Cora" and "Drack"?

 

They're the two companions mentioned in the survey leak.

Does anyone think that the enemies at around 1:30 are Turians?  They have Turian-like legs, though they are hard to see.

I thought so too at first but then changed my mind. The leg bend is too pronounced and they seem more... wide. I'd say they look more like the Collectors.

Not at all, feel free to do so :)

The protagonist also uses some sort of rocket-assist in his jumping, similar to the ME1 mako. You can see his back flaring up when he jumps.

 

1:15 and 1:29

They're the two companions mentioned in the survey leak.

Well, they mentioned that the guy in the trailer is not our protagonist. So I would not be so sure that those two are squadmates.

The Wild West music says a lot of the game and confirms some of the stuff from the leak like colonization, attack on colonies, raiders, etc.

What a shame. I would've loved for Johnny Cash to be our protagonist.

Let's just hope there are Paragon options for the "non-new world destroyers" :P

Don't think so. There are like a lot of trailers that used this kind of music.

I'm not fond of western music (or americanization in general), but being Johnny Cash....I'll make a little exception.

Really? That's the only one I've seen to use Johnny Cash. Can you link them, I love his songs?  :)

Definitely Human Female, not Asari. Caucasian skin can be seen through visor at roughly 1:27.

That overgrown armadillo at 0:24 seems to be present in the very first screen as well, along with its friends.

Yes. Though many others have been built off the platform. I can name M-11 (appearing with a suppressor in the Citadel DLC) and Paladin, being built off the M-6 Carnifex.

 

Helmet appears mighty similar to Kestrel and Capacitor Helmets in ME3.
