I know it's a very vivid amount of the dragon we actually got to see. However, I watched this trailer a lot and always came back to the same problems.
First off, I know they stated the end will be different than the PC but from what I gathered is we seem to have like 4-5 pillars. I do like the fact that there is cages around a few. However, if anyone else noticed the dragons flight pattern it seemed like it flew around and then rested upon the exit portal blowing his acid. I don't know if this is a problem or if I'm just bad when it comes to worst case scenarios. I HOPE the acid is NOT the dragons only attack. And I hope that the dragon does not rest upon that portal the whole time.
I never played the PC version of the game, I however have done a lot of studying by watching a lot of youtubers video and the Dragon's attacks on the PC are basically his kamikaze dive into players. Knocking them off stuff and destroying all blocks (besides end stone and obsidian and obviously bedrock) and even hurting them. Now, we don't know what Ender acid does. I'm going to guess it gives a poison effect like cave spiders. However, I'm concerned about the Dragon being too easy and too different. Look at it this way, if he has a predictable flight pattern (He flies around for a bit, hits you then rests upon the portal and blows acid) it may be too easy to predict when to hit him. Also, if he just rests upon the portal the whole time it will be very easy to just shoot arrows at him.
Now I could be totally wrong, this is just what I gathered from the trailer. I'm posting this thread mearly as discussion, and I'm not whining. Let me know what you guys think.

well i hope what i say helps out.
1. all pillars have some beats looking cages.
2. acid isnt the only attack
3. im sure he only stopped right there because he was attacking
4. i did not see any enderman in the end. i thought there was enderman coming out the ears in the END (expression)
5. the cages are so we actually have to make our way up and destroy they pillars ourselves instead of using a bow

There is plenty of enderman in there from what I saw. Also, nothing in that trailer proves that the dragon has other attacks. If he just stopped there to attack then he picked a spot perfectly above the portal. The screenshot 4J posted of the dragon a long time ago he was in the exact same spot he was above the portal. And I know the cages are there to prevent arrow shots, but it'd be very easy to break through them if the dragon does not knock you off in attempt to climb.

i wasnt paying attention much to the video thats why i saw no enderman. the dragon stopping i still think is a coincidence. on the PC it can tackel so i assume they will add that. and the cages are so its a challange getting up there as the dragon has a seeing radius too.

Right before the Enderdragon does his ender acid attack it looks like he does his diving attack then spins around and then he does the the acid attack.
Also if you watch closely you'll see some of the same purple particles protruding from his mouth as he turns around over the end portal. So it may just be that he stopped to shoot a more damaging/ better concentrated ender acid attack.
I was slightly dissapointed with how few enderman there were, because I always pictured Enderman coming out of the wazzo but I figure maybe xbox limitations hold the number of enderman back. Truthfully I'd rather have no enderman and a smooth flying dragon than butt tons and a laggy dragon.
Also, the main thing I took from that trailer was the guy wearing chain mail armor, will that be added into survival? That would be a nice xbox-exclusive.
Just pay attention to the small details right before the ender dragon does the acid attack, I think he'll be even tougher on xbox

I'm not sure if you completely understand my point. I know the dragon can see. However, if the dragon does not (Not saying he doesn't) have any other attacks besides floating over the return portal and spewing acid then climbing the towers will be very very easy.

Like I stated first (The part where the dragon may have a very predictable pattern) Aka, just like Flying around in a circle or 2, trys to hit and goes back to spewing the acid over the portal. Like I said, I'm not trying to sound like there is a huge problem. Cause i'd rather have a predictable pattern than a dragon who sits still the whole time.
I would not mind chainmail to be added. One thing I did notice too that is completely random is bow's now have a critical hit particle effect when fully charged. Which I was disappointing not to see in the last 3 TU's. Glad it's there. Like you said, it's the small things.

i was thinking there would be enderman like this except scattered all over the place
also times that by 3 then scatter them

It's interesting to watch the trailer, because it reminded me of when I played Skyrim back then. First Dragon fight, and I was stoked even after the battle was over right? Later on though, I would still enjoy myself battling against them. The thing is, they became easier due to the fact of learning their attack patterns and such.
Now about the Ender Dragon from the trailer...
We know the dragon can still do damage from running into you (At least I would think so...). To add, one objective still remains and that is to take out the Towers. If not, then you're going to be their a while. Increasing the difficulty by adding the cages to protect the Towers, was ingenious. With this thought, taking on the dragon will be immensly more difficult.
Now about the new attack "Acid Breath" (I guess that is what it's called)...
It's a breath attack of some kind and by how it's name suggests the ability to poison you. From the trailer, it uses this move by "somewhat" landing near the ground and spewing acid toward the players. Whether this is a predetermined location or randomized is still up for debate. Maybe it will always land just above the center structure of the area, who knows.
As for the Ender Dragon's Underlings, the Enderman...
How many will their be when first entering the End? Will their be spawners to continue reinforce the Ender Dragon? What about them attacking you on sight than how they usually act??? I'd say the trailer isn't enough to clarify. Of course, the PC version could give us some insight.
Regardless, when it comes to the Enderman, I'd say we'll have to wait for reports from other players after the next update.
Perhaps the Ender Dragon from the 360 Edition will be easier, or more difficult than on PC. Either way you see it, I'm excited for it!!!

"Always assume rumors are false, till proven true"
I use this quote because of what I spoke about earlier over the Dragon's new attack. I believe I read about it somewhere, but I don't know where or when even... Maybe on these forums??? I don't know... Anyways, forgot to point that out for everyone... Sorry.
The End in the trailer was more than likely done in Creative mode (pretty sure one player had spawn eggs in his inventory) so that might be why there seemed a lack of Endermen or maybe not many had spawned, I do hope we have lots as I want endless Ender Pearls for travelling.
proof they were in creative was also they did not get hurt at one point and they had chain mail armor

The chain armor could be a hint at villager trading (the only legit way to obtain it in survival)
will villager trading be in TU9
