They can also, like, prerender scenes in engine and then touch them up in editing - this has happened in a few scenes in the Kingdom Hearts series where the console can't run the scene as is. In KH2 the 1000 heartless battle scene was pre-rendered and so was the secret ending of BBS and all of the cutscenes in Re:CoM - you can usually tell if the scene is dubbed rather than the face is reanimated, if the background has blur effects to make it "appear" as if there's a camera being focused (they can do this in engine too, especially now, but in some cases, like BBS's secret ending and some scenes in Re:CoM, the post-blur is particularly noticeable)
I can tell the scenes in the trailer weren't edited post-capture because for one the hair - Square tries to touch up anti aliasing when they're doctoring footage/screenshots, and two: the audio was never properly mixed - which is more likely if it had just been recorded and there wasn't time to smooth it over, Aqua's lines peak at certain points and we know Willa's been back in the studio relatively recently
