Andromeda was meant to be a Spin Off... it was called Andromeda and was going to have Andromeda 2 and such in future sequels from what was said... they wanted to differentiate it from the Shepard trilogy.
If they want to retroactively call it 4 they can... but as it was it was not intended that way.

One of the people near the ship also looks like they're wearing an Initiative-style helmet. A ton of people are debating as to who the figures are. Most seem to think it's Liara, Wrex/Grunt, Kaiden/Ashley, and a salarian, but there's plenty who think it's Peebee, Drack, Ryder, and Jaal. |

It does seem to be an Asari in white and a Krogan in Red.
Specifically the figure in front seems to be wearing the white coat/black hood that Liara is in the teaser.
The team by the ship in the teaser might be the same group as here too. but there's no closeups on them <_<

Again for the name... if they basically try to act like Andromeda didn't happen I'd expect this to be just Mass Effect 4.
Otherwise I'd expect some kinda subtitle like Andromeda.
Cause going Mass Effect 5 without a numbered Mass Effect 4 just seems weird >_>

That's a very snazzy coat.

Looking at the bar scene there's a Geth (in clothes!), a Salarian, an Angaran, Asari, a Volus, a very Garrus-looking Turian, a Krogan, and what looks like an unmasked Quarian. From that we can assume that either the "Destroy" option was not the canon ending to the trilogy or ultimately didn't wipe out the Geth after all, and that Andromedan races have made their way to the Milky Way, or the Geth have made their way to Andromeda.

We know that the Andromeda Initiative used geth technology to scout the Heleus Cluster because it was capable of doing so in real-time (versus seeing data hundreds of years obsolete). Previous N7 Day teases also had geth-related stuff.
Maybe an enclave of organic-friendly geth programs who knew what the Reapers would do saw the Andromeda Initiative as the best way of preserving organic life from the extinction cycle and supported it from the shadows. Hell, maybe these geth are the Benefactor. Certainly makes more sense for that to be the case than other theories like Cerberus. And given the geth's less-than-stellar reputation in the Milky Way at the time, it makes complete sense why they'd want to keep their true identity a secret.

I've always subscribed to the Geth Benefactor theory, so I'd be quite happy if they went in that direction. About the only thing we do know for sure at this point is the Geth are involved and Liara is a major part of the story, so there's plenty of room for speculation. |

I’m always down for more Mass Effect, even mediocre Mass Effect
But what I’d love even more is some more Jade Empire

Can’t really make out much from that image. But still excited, I play these games several times a year. Can’t wait to see how/if they connect the galaxies and if the answer Andromeda’s questions.
