Did you guys notice there's some discrepancies between the opening intro and the main storyline? Here's my thoughts:
1) Was the opening movie a vague summary of the story or was it a series of flashbacks that Jennifer had experienced after she had woken up in the park?
2) Why was Gregory portrayed as a sinister character in the intro? The way he stalks Jennifer and grabs her from behind in the toilet..It's already understood that he's innocent and misunderstood in the main game.
3) Why are there scenes like Jennifer's face being stepped on by a foot and her body drawn across by red crayon? I didn't see any of the main game cutscenes featuring that.
4) Meg's direct love confession to Diana in the cubicle, the only scene that I noticed them together is in the Bird Of Happiness chapter, but they were laughing and joking instead of what was mentioned in the opening intro.

1) Was the opening movie a vague summary of the story or was it a series of flashbacks that Jennifer had experienced after she had woken up in the park?
--> In my opinion, I think it was a series of flashbacks as in the end of the thing, they show her in the rain, hugging brown which could've been her finally letting go (symbolically anyway)
2) Why was Gregory portrayed as a sinister character in the intro? The way he stalks Jennifer and grabs her from behind in the toilet..It's already understood that he's innocent and misunderstood in the main game.
--> I think the original design they had for him was to be sinister although they must've changed it mid-way through the game. OwO
3) Why are there scenes like Jennifer's face being stepped on by a foot and her body drawn across by red crayon? I didn't see any of the main game cutscenes featuring that.
--> I'm sure the red crayon being drawn on her occurs - although it isn't in like, proper CG. As for being stepped on, maybe it was something they originally wanted to do, then forgot about it?
4) Meg's direct love confession to Diana in the cubicle, the only scene that I noticed them together is in the Bird Of Happiness chapter, but they were laughing and joking instead of what was mentioned in the opening intro.
--> Meg made a direct confession? What was the point of the letter then? I don't think Meg was confessing anything, it was just them being together. Again, maybe the game developers just added that to make it look even more intruiging. ^^"
Hope that helps, if not~ *calls Princess Jennifer* Princess Jennifer~!

An important thing to remember-the trailer that serves as the intro was released before the game was even properly finished, I believe. It seems to act mainly as a sort of prequel to events in the game. We see Meg-with Diana's laughter present-murdering Eleanor's bird in her dress and someone drawing on Jennifer with a red crayon. Eleanor's bird is found dead by an unknown person in the game, so we now know who is responsible. And Jennifer wakes up with her dress covered in red crayon at the beginning of The Funeral. As for the whole park scene, I've always thought that was the beginning of her dream, with her "awakening" on the bus after the airship's shadow envelops her. And as for Gregory being displayed as sinister, it seems to be just like I said, where he was oringally intended to be a more villianous character. You can see that same mean look in his character art in the booklet of the US version.

You can tell by watching the trailer after having played the game that it was made before many things in the game were finalized. Here's how:
-During the little montage at the end, we see a few things that do not have related scenes in the game.
-If you look at the orphanage when it is shown, there are no walls.
-When they show Jennifer coming into the main hall of the orphanage, the interior is different from that of the one in the final version of the game.
-Grergory seems to be stalking Jennifer, while in the game, she mainly just keeps bumping into him accidentally.
-Diana, Eleanor, Meg, Amanda, and Gregory look slighty different than their game counterparts.

Also notice Eleanor's bird actually bleeds when it got killed, it's only a doll. The developers should have amended the entire intro to blend with the main game.  That's the main reason I find Gregory's actions to be paradoxical. |

The bird thing was not a mistake. While the bird WAS a doll in reality, it was a real bird in Jennifer's dream-you actually see it flying around throughout her time on the airship.
Paradoxical? How so?

At one point, Gregory was depicted as being an innocent and depressed character in the Gingerbread House chapter, and at another he's a stalker and a killer in the intro and stray dog cutscenes.

There's a huge difference though. Stray Dog was Gregory after who knows how long of abuse and manipulation by Wendy. And even then, if you look at his eyes, you only see sadness, not anger or malice. Also afterwards, he is wracked with guilt over his actions. Prior to Wendy's torture, Gregory never would have been able to hurt kids like that. But the him we see is his original artwork and in the trailer and in the unused cutscenes has that violent look and act, while the him we see in the actual game is the exact opposite.

This is an interesting discovery indeed~

There are probably more things that we have not even noticed yet.

Someone should make a list of all the differences found so far.

Good idea. Here is a list of things in the trailer that are different from the game:
1. The orphanage stands alone in a grassy field, with no walls surrounding it.
2. The layout of the orphanage is different, with a door being close to the main entrance and no sign of the archway.
3. Amanda's teath are crooked.
4. Diana and Eleanor look fairly different from their game counterparts.
5. Events not at all depicted or hinted at in the game are shown.
6. Gregory is portrayed as a malevolent, stalker-like character.

As far as the crayon drawing on Jennifer goes, that wasn't shown in the game, but when Jennifer wakes up with the crayons in her mouth, you can assume that this is what happened.

The crayon thing was already addressed a while ago. That scene in the trailer hints at the moment she wakes up colored on in The Funeral, so it's not different from the game.

I wasn't saying that it was. I was simply addressing the original message of the thread.
