Speculation on DESTINY's original setting - UPDATED 17/10
At this point most people had a chance to read all the reddit posts by 404 (Joe?) and the tester from 2013, based on that and some speculations i had:
There were or still are planned three sub classes, there are three "elemental" damage types in the game: Solar, Arc and Void which all seem to correspond with the sub classes for each class.
[u]Hunter: [/u]
Gunsilner - Solar
Bladedancer - Arc
Third one should be based on Void
[u]Warlock:[/u]
Sunsinger - Solar
Voidwalker - Void
Third one Arc based
[u]Titan:[/u]
Defender - Arc
Striker - Void
Third one Solar based
The three races probably were tuned for each subclass initially then the player would be able to unlock or acquire the other two, Awoken - Void, Humans - Solar and Exo - Arc.
One of the early ViDocs also showed an early menu concept which had the story at Chapter 3 being on Mars, as far as Bungie and numbers go there were probably at least seven chapters representing seven locations:
- Earth
- Venus
- Mars
- Saturn
- Jupiter
- Mercury
- Moon
With the reef being a possible hub.
The original suggested plot with the twist being the Travel as the antagonist (Fifth Element anyone?) also makes sense, the Travelers part with the most extensive damage seems to be it's bottom part, as if it was shot from the planet's surface which implies it wasn't defending earth from an outside offense. Also the ghost's line in the beginning of The Black Garden "Are you ready to kill a god", perhaps that was not meant towards the "Heart of Darkness" but was taken out of context, maybe the meaning was a take on the Traveler itself which in the original plot was considered as a false god.
Maybe the Ghosts weren't made by the Traveler, The Reef was an exodus to find something at the edge of the solar system and the Exos had some connection with the Warminds.
Similar to the plot in the original HALO, in which the "savior" the ring turned out to be also a device of extinction.
As for The Speaker, in an ironic twist he got the role of a metaphorical troll for BUNGIE "We (the game) were once much more (content/plot etc)".
[b]UPDATE:[/b]
The original thread was posted on September 30th along with speculations regarding the third subclass which were hinted at this week.
Well after checking the old vidoc/trailers again:

They never speak of "Light", they just state the Travelers power.
So in a nutshell:
The Traveler is actually some kind of prison cell holding the Darkness, after the collapse (caused by the Traveler releasing the Darkness) the true purpose of the Traveler was covered by The Speaker.
The major twist is the guardians are actually the antagonists, the alien races are trying to find/restore the Warminds which were able to fight the traveler, or at least were able to resist it and hold the actual records regarding it's true nature.
Also those videos show some "spoilers", for instance The Reef as an actual hub, and also a brief footage of a jumpship landing on Mercury (Well it's the same animation used for PvP).
The chamber with Phogoth also has a different setting with cocoons like a huge nest (The Dark Below). The chamber with Crota's sword has some sort of an altar with a beam of light instead of the large chain.
