Some new tidbits robbed from Era
• Shibuya is part of Quadratum. This Shibuya is not connected to The World Ends With You or Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. Completely new world.
• The narrator of the KH4 trailer is a character we know, but we have not heard their voice yet. This character also voiced the trailer for Missing Link.
• The room Sora wakes up in is located in Minami-aoyama in Tokyo, Japan. The early parts of the game take place here and act as a base/hub for early game.
• The fourth command you see in the command menu in the trailer is “Build” or “Scrap & ReBuild” and is based on the concept of destruction and reconstruction. More will be shown about this new command in the future.
• The drill you see Sora using in the trailer is a reaction command similar to those from KH2. Fans missed reaction commands in KH3 so they are being brought back for KH4.
And some direct quotes about the story-side of things:
Story Theme: what is Quadratum? Why does it look like real life? Is it an afterlife? Is it fictional, is it real?
-- In the trailer's narration, Quadratum was described as "a world full of life- but for you and I, it's similar to an "afterworld," I suppose." What does this mean?
Nomura: It means that perception changes depending on your viewpoint. The Master of Masters says something along those lines in UX.
From Sora's point of view, Quadratum is a world on the other side of his own world and reality: a fictional world. However, from the point of view of the inhabitants of Quadratum, their world is the real one, and the place Sora and his friends hail from is the other side, the fictional world.
This time, I think the theme will be something akin to the "contrast between people from different positions."

KH world: Will Sora look realistic in the Disney worlds, such as say where Donald and Goofy are with Hades?
-- The place where Donald and Goofy are is the original world, right? What would a realistic Sora look like in the original world?
Nomura: Donald and Goofy are looking for clues to Sora in the original world. Everything you saw in the trailer before the title appeared is from Quadratum, and Sora will look realistic there, but if he returns to the original world, then the shaders will make him look like Donald and Goofy.
