Just to clarify, you mean the one in which Kirito reaches Asuna and then faces against Sugou? She was chained up by Sugou and was held up in the air after both her and Kirito were subjected to that lockdown effect. Then Sugou started feeling her up and talking about how he was going to take her purity in both the ALO world and in the real world. Then after the beatdown, Kirito frees her. Asuna didn't really do that much during this scene. |

The real problem (As with any Deus Ex Machina) is the lack of foreshadowing that proceeds it.
Had Kirito occasionally felt a strange presence, or felt that he was being watched, or maybe even just monologued a bit on whether or not Kayaba was alive or dead, or if he knew about ALO what would he think etc. Something like that and it would leave a better taste in the mouth. (I can't remember, does ALO include the bit where he talks with Kayaba's assistant where she explains how he did the whole brainscan thing, or is that in a different novel?

Since ep25's title is "The World Seed", we can assume that the scene Kayaba appearing will be animated quite properly especially the parts related to the world seed.
Ep24 will probably end at Sugou appearing in the hospital's carpark about to attack Kirito. Or it will end at Asuna's hospital room where Kirito and Asuna finally reunite in the real world. If the latter happens this is how I would imagine it: During Kirito and Asuna's hugs and kisses an OP theme (probably Crossing Field) starts playing and then scenes of their time in SAO are shown until the episode ends. This way it will be a very emotional scene that will end the episode very well. |

^ It really feels out of place if they do that, but they could've just took an easier approach and take out the ending credits and show Kirito biking to the hospital like they did in episode 14 where Kirito gets out of the bed and slowly walking to the exit.

I think they want to keep the second Kirito-Sugou fight as a surprise for the anime-only viewers so the biking scene would be better just stay in the beginning of final episode. With that it can be like he got suddenly attacked while reminiscing the events that had happened. Besides they have to fill the airtime of the episode with the remaining aftermath of FD arc and there aren't many left so saving as much scene as possible for the final episode is fine I guess.

It's likely the pace of the final episode will be like this. The first half will cover the rest of chapter 8 that ends with the emotional scene in Asuna's hospital room. After commercial break the second half starts with the scene at the special school which is the beginning of chapter 9. If it's like this then the second half will be rushed.
The PV for the final episode will probably only show scenes from chapter 9 as they want to make the Kirito and Sugou fight in the real world a surprise for anime-only viewers. I hope it's not gonna be like the PV for ep14 which was mostly showing flashback scenes since it is possible that when Kirito and Asuna reunite in the real world flashback scenes of their time in SAO will be shown. The official website didn't show preview pics of ep14 which was the last for the Aincrad arc so it's possible the same goes for the final episode. |

I'm think a collection of flashback scenes from whole the ALO arc or the whole SAO series up to this point, for the episode 25 PV.

Most of us here already know about the things in that spoiler tag though.
