I noticed something else regarding Far Cry New Dawn promotional content, this time in the Announcement Trailer.
youtube
In the video, The Twins threaten the people of Prosperity before brutally executing someone. They say:
Mickey: Listen here, rabbits. You need to understand something: the only currency left in this world is power. We’re going to take everything from you, starting with your home. And if we can’t take it... Lou: ...we’ll break it.
Mickey doesn’t finish her sentence because she expects Lou to, and we can assume that what Lou adds is exactly what Mickey would have said had she been alone. There’s a great connection and synergy between them.

In the game, the moment they threaten Prosperity happens differently. First, they don’t come right at the gate but stay at a distance. Secondly, instead of beating someone to death with her helmet (which is something she still does in the prologue), Lou places an unpinned grenade in a child’s hands. Finally, they only talk to Carmina and the Captain, and part of what they say, while very reminiscent of the speech we heard in the trailer, isn’t identical to it:
Mickey: The only currency in this world is power. You-- you made us look weak. That ends now. We are going to take everything that you hold dear. Starting with your home. Lou: And if we can't take it, we'll break it.
The major difference here is that Mickey’s sentence was over, and I don’t think she expected Lou to say anything. Yet, she’s barely done talking when her sister decides to speak... much to Mickey’s annoyance, it seems, as this is her reaction:
Tumblr media
The Twins remain very connected and don’t really seem to be in conflict in the game, but I think it’s interesting that Mickey rolls her eyes because of Lou’s comment. Yes, they can still be physically and mentally synchronized, but sometimes, they can also have slightly diverging opinions and get annoyed with each other because, at the end of the day, they’re separate people with different personalities. In my opinion, compared to what the trailer originally showed, the final version of the scene humanizes them more.
