I say the ship leaves before the events of ME3.
What would've been nice is if the ship left during ME3, they showed a few reapers in the video as the ship flew by
Agreed. Maybe we'll get a timeline. That's not "major" news, but that is news... right? All they have to say is the "ARK" leaves before or after the events of Mass Effect 3. Then speculation time on the forums!
Pretentious trailer, not to mention a total wannabe Interstellar:
Somehow, it still gets me excited. I love the theme, but I'm concerned whether BIoware has any audacity about it or if they're just trying to be Interstellar The Game (...And High-Spectacle Gunplay + Romance-Simulator). I mean, you gotta ask, is this really some video-game writer's own ideas or is he too in awe of his favorite movie?
You could say Mass Effect was largely ripping off established ideas all throughout though... still, I feel Mass Effect 1 was just trying to be itself. ME2 or ME3 had more obvious style-similarities or maybe it was because it was jarring how they were inspired by non-sci-fi movies which clashed with ME1's sci-fi style or I dunno.
All things considered, this is just a trailer, and probably not gonna indicate the style of narrative the actual game has. That said, it's hard to be super-impressed by it IMO.

This video has some NASA clips put together with a final (fanart?) pic at the end.
Interesting is the name in the dog tag. Ryder. Sally Rider was the first American woman in space and Bio did mention that the theme song "Riders in the sky" from the teaser video would make sense, down the road.

Okay, How long has MEA been in development, now go back and look at when Interstellar was released and you should have your answer.
Dat human focus in the trailer. Why are some of the Milky Way aliens coming along again?

But consider that the long dev cycle of this game is needed mostly to reinvent the ME gameplay on a new engine, + next-gen, a new setting etc. while as always, the actual final product will be the result of re-iterations made right up until the end of production. I asked Chris Schlerf way back when the movie came out whether it was gonna be a source of inspiration to which he responded open-mindedly "Who knows?", so you can't rule out that it might end up being a big influence.
Also, ME3's plot heavily featured Javik or some VI at least as a much bigger part of its main plot until it was cut and completely changed half a year before the game released. That's a pretty big change.
...just, food for thought, you know?
Basically the voice over is Commander Shepard sending a speech to the crew of the Ark who are about to embark on their journey to Andromeda. To me this pretty much confirms that the Ark leaves the Milky Way during the events of the Original Trilogy, my guess is probably at least sometime between ME2 and ME3. It also confirms that the majority of the people on the Ark are Human. Where the other council races tie into this I'm not sure.
Possibly,
Although I get the feeling it was a trailer just showing off in the end, and Shepard is not giving them any voice-over in-game.
Problem with that is it would make no damn sense if they did...
I don't know...the whole ARK thing still doesn't mesh with the Pathfinder-initiative from the leak if you ask me. Not to mention we are missing several ships that would be going on this journey too.
I liked how it was narrated by Shepard. Is this by Bioware or fan made?

You really think the Reapers would let a contingency plan to slip right through their grubby metal tentacles?

Considering how well that plot change went over, I wouldn't expect them to repeat it. Beside, the number of Sci-fi stories detailing humanity going somewhere new is rather large, so immediately deciding that trope leads back to the film Interstellar is somewhat premature

The Reapers came from one side of the Galaxy, as long as you go out the other side your fine.
Besides....they Missed the Protheans rigging the Citadel to ignore their calls so they are obviously not perfect.

Yes.

You really think Bioware would swap galaxies if they still had to deal with ME3 ending repercussions?

Perhaps.
The problem is the trailer confirms little, except a ship. The point or purpose is still unknown.
With all the leak info out there, I think it's honestly still in the air what is going on. Although I will say this; if it is an ARK of some sorts, it probably is for the best in the end.

The ship is slowly moving to Andromeda. It's literally right there, c'mon. There's hardly anything left to wonder except when the Ark leaves. And even the answer to this is pretty obvious. People were calling the galaxy swap and Ark idea years ago precisely because such concept allows to bypass ME3 endings while still technically making a sequel.

Well see. I shall wait until I get a confirmation by the source themselves.
Until then, I remain skeptical.

Maybe, we really kept visiting the same places in the three Mass Effect games. We might have been visiting different parts, but we either scanned or landed on the same planets repeatedly. So this gives them time to develop an entirely new area for us to discover.

Sceptical of what? Andromeda, Ark and "conventional" journey are already confirmed in official material.

400 billion stars and systems in Milky Way. The only reason we're swapping galaxies is because Crucible it all and they don't wanna deal with it. If they don't wanna deal with it there, they won't bring the baggage along on the Ark to new galaxy.

Oh i'm sure that is the reason why were going to Andromeda.
I just don't think its an ARK, I think it's an after-war mission.
Like I said, we shall see.
