Damn, they brought in Ordinal Scale’s animation. Me being a completionist might actually pay off.

After the fast-paced excitement that is SAO Alternative GGO, I'm not sure I'd get back to this universe with the same excitement, especially Alicization with its seemingly slow pace. I know it's a completely different world, even more so like a different anime universe (even with completely different characters), but only thinking that they're originating from the same series, I can't help but to compare them with GGO overshadowing Alicization.
Unless Alicization turned out to be outstanding action-wise too (premise looks alright).

This is based on a mainline novel that's written by the original author and has Kirito as a protag, right?
Pass.

There are enough LN material for 3-4 coursl Lets hope they don't rush things up to put everything in 24 episodes.
SAO Alternative GGO was OK but this is what SAO is all about!!

If Black Clover and Boruto can go beyond 2 cours, I;m sure SAO can.

SAO Alternative was definitely a faster-paced story than Alicization is going to be. Based on what I've read so far, though (i.e., novel 13), I continue to disagree that you'd need 3-4 cours to do it properly. The novels in the middle, at least, are rather short, and spending as much as 4-5 full episodes on some of them would be a serious stretch.
Definitely cool teaser and advertising pic, though, and I'm looking forward to seeing what Alice Synthesis Thirty looks like in action. Easily one of my most-anticipated titles of the fall.

Alicization lasts until volume 18 though and there's so much crazy stuff that happens in those 5 volumes or so, it's easily more content then any of the previous seasons alone. Also the PV is only showing stuff from the first half of Alicization and nothing from the final half. I just can't see them squeezing 10 volumes of content into two cours, especially when that's basically using up all the available content that's out. I can see them spreading out this content over the course of a year with four cours since it's pretty much the biggest chunk of the SAO story and the original conclusion to the series.

For what i know of the novels contend, I would say, if you use the same pace as the first 2 seasons, the first part Administrator can be done in 12-13 episodes.
But the part of Underworld War would need at least 24 episodes.
That's why I think that you would need at least 3 cours to do a good adaptation without rushing it.

Second half is more busy with more characters so I don't think you can compress it like the first half. The first half novels, I think could be done in 2-3 fairly easily (and really should be done under 3 eps per because they're overall pretty boring imo).
Still, at averaging 2.5 eps per novel for the first half, you've already used 1 cour. The only way to do all of the novels in 2 cour would be to continue that pace throughout.
I don't get why they're doing this seeing as how the first 2 SAOs covered ~4 and ~3.5 novels. Now they want to do 10? And then I see Index 3 doing something similar... Fall is looking like the prime season for rushing like hell through a ton of novels.

From what i know they still don't tell how many episodes they are going to do so lets hope they don't rush things,
And if you think about how big is SAO on Japan, from a sales/profit point of view, it would not make much sense if they don't make more than 1-2 cours.
