What’s the difference between a teaser trailer and a real trailer?

Generally speaking a teaser will be just that, a tease. Whereas a regular trailer will probably give you more information about characters/setting and plot beats.

Why are they called trailers, if they play before the actual movie you paid to see?

They used to be showed after but people would leave right after the movie they paid to see so they got moved to the start instead.

Teasers are usually about a minute shorter but otherwise it's the same thing. They used to actually just be teasers but now they're just the first trailers.

I finished Sekiro and it wasn't very good. Most deaths was the illusory monk boss, followed by owl father. Nothing else took me more than 10 attempts with most taking sub 5 or even just one (laffo non-illusory monk you are a joke despite happening later than your illusion variant).

Better than Dark Souls 3, though.

I think its just Sekiro feels unfinished. Like its 1/2 to 2/3rds of the game that should have existed; bosses are reused liberally for a souls game with such a low count, the ashina castle zone gets reused twice and ashina outskirts and hirata estate gets reused as well which would be fine but thats nearly half the zones in the game, skill progression is kind of half-baked and damage not balanced, shinobi techniques seem like an after thought, and the dragon rot system feels like they couldn't get it to work so crippled it into the weird vestigial state it is in the shipped game.

The prosthetics feeling kind of useless is more on me, and amusingly removing my ability to do techniques was the support I needed to finish off the final boss because it prevented me from accidentally doing one.

Eh I don't really agree with the reused bosses thing. The only ones that are basically the same are the Monk and the Ape (and the second iteration of the ape is optional). You fight Genichiro twice but the second time is more of a fakeout thing and the fight feels very different. And the optional second Owl fight is again very different to the main one. Mini bosses are reused more liberally, same as in Elden Ring I guess - but there are bloody loads of them and like 15+ completely different types.

e: So from the Wiki I count:

Generals
Ogres
Shinobi Hunters
Drunkards/that other dude that's similar
Bulls
Seven Spears
Lone Shadows
Ashina Elites
Headless
Great serpent (arguable, more of a setpiece)
Centipedes
Snake eyes
O'rin
Shichimen
Armored warrior
Carp (arguable, more of a setpiece)

Toilet Rascal
I think "miniboss" implies more than one deathblow, so there aren't anywhere near 15 of them. You've got the seven spears (of which I don't think there are actually seven), the headless guys, the kick ninjas, the ogres, the huge drunken guys, the gun ladies, and the centipedes. Everyone else is just a tough enemy.

If you're a long time Total War Warhammer fan, then it's pretty disappointing. Poorly balanced campaign, and a lot of bugs/glitches. Everyone is waiting for Immortal Empire, which will take all races from Warhammer 1 & 2 and put them into the game, along with a mega huge map that is all locations from those two games as well and place them into the campaign map for Warhammer 3.

i'm deeply curious about your brain

how did you try and engage with the prosthetics and techniques before deciding they were an afterthought? what seemed disappointing about them? what did you think they were trying to do with dragon rot that they didn't get working?

There was a movie that came out a few years back, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, where the trailer told the same story as the movie but better. The trailer is worth watching, the movie isn't great
