New footage of Kingdom Hearts III worlds shown off in Halloween tweet about Sora's outfits

New footage of Kingdom Hearts III worlds has been recently displayed on a special GIF tweeted for Halloween by Kingdom Hearts' Twitter account. The GIF shows Sora posing in different locations, giving a new perspective of worlds like The Colisseum, San Franstokyo, The Caribbean, Monstropolis and also Toy Box.
 
  It is also noticeable, during the Caribbean frames, a clear resemblance of a Moguri Shop, which, until now, was an unconfirmed return. Moreover, in the Colisseum part of the GIF, a temple (presumabily Zeus') can be seen in the background.   Is there any new detail which you were able to grasp in this new footage? Let us know in the comments!
