Patch 7.2 In-game Cinematic - A Found Memento: Raising a King

[@juliogonzalez7773]

priest energy is warm yellow, the script for saurfang holding shal o main was the same but the cinematic didnt show the switch in color from the priest to the warrior, when the scrip was read on blizzcon they read "from the warm yellow energy of the priest to a red color for that of the warrior" something like that

We've seen this kid grow from standing next to Bolvar Fordragon in vanilla. For him trying to push his boundaries and explore in cataclysm. To him being a diplomat in Pandaria. He had the chance to poison Garrosh Hellscream with poisoned food in War Trials, and he refused! But now, we see him a rising king. It gives me goosebumps to think that some of us were with him since the very beginning, and have seen his rise. They say men with dreams to be a king, one should first be a man. But in Anduins case, he has almost grew up all on his own. May he follow in the legacy of Anduin Lothar (the lion of Azeroth.) Anduin, Varian, and his mother would be proud. #FortheAlliance

+fallenistari always wondered what that meant....

[@johnb6011]

Actually it is Arthas's fault. The light is wielded by neither good nor evil. It is strong in those who have faith in it and believe and have no doubts of its purpose and function. Arthas started to doubt he could save his people, he abandoned the light in search of something that could save them and in doing so the light refused to stand with him.

It's not really Thrall's fault because of that, because Garrosh proved to be very competent in Northrend. It was his choice to appoint Garrosh as Warchief that set the events towards Legion in motion.

Bravo to everyone who worked on this cinematic. The music, the atmosphere, and the goddamn voice acting/direction is so incredible in this one. Normally there's an excitement to them in tone, but this one is entirely focused on Anduin growing as a character and rising to this challenge. The voice actors convey so much emotion in just the way they say the name 'Anduin'. The way Velen says it at first is almost a sort of sad pride. He's sad Anduin has to see such horrors, but he's proud of him for pushing himself to understand what is at stake and what they face. The way Genn says it after Anduin loses hope is almost like a parent consoling their child after they lose someone or something horrible happened. And the look on his face when Shalamayne lights up for him. So incredible.

It sounds cruel but they advise the family to look at the body's of their loved ones. Sometimes it can be traumatizing but in a lot of cases it helps with grief and closure. It is the same with Anduin. He needed to see what happend to his father to get some closure. I think a part of him didn't wanted to believe what really happend so he couldn't started to grief.

Genn is such a well developed character. He starts out relatively indifferent to other kingdoms, insecurity made manifest by trying to be his father rather than his own man, thinking that accepting help was weakness and being verbally abrasive. Yes, he was harsh on Anduin initially but once Anduin expresses that he's scared of being king, Genn realizes what needs to be done. He explains to Anduin that he only needs to be inspired by his father to always try his best. In this moment we see Genn rise above his flaws that I listed earlier. Not going to follow the Lich Queen, I'm going back to the Alliance.

He will go and do what's right but what he is dealing with personally can also get in the way. So he sometimes says or does things that were not the best. He's willing to stand by the king but also has his own opinions and doesn't seem to be just waiting around for orders. He's got a lot of good in him but there are demons hiding as well. I've learned and become pretty invested in his story ever since Legion dropped. I've always gotta wonder what's coming next.

This cinematic actually brought tears to my eyes and rivals the Wrathgate in my mind. Amazing job Blizzard.

[@Seraphim418]

I saw this boy grow up to be a king. My how time passes.

[@mrtruthsayer7872]

Very nice cinematic! Probably one of my favorites! I am really liking Anduin a whole lot now!

[@oidana]

THIS FEELINGS EVERYTIME AFTER NEARLY 2 YEARS. BROKE MY HEART!

[@Messyman16]

That music buildup at 2:22 gave me the Alliance pride I lost long ago when I had to stop playing.

[@vasilyselivantsev4451]

I like how female singing is smoothly switching to male chorus when Varian speeks.

[@jetski3384]

Whoever their composer is - makes this an amazing cutscene. Awesome stuff seeing this boy turn into a man.

[@jarodheuer4171]

Honestly, this is one of my favorite cinematic from the whole game. It is powerful in its message and music

[@yoloswag5851]

Man, the quality of the Legion cinematics is so much better than the Shadowlands cinematics

[@sheevpalpatine4676]

Gods, the cinematics were strong then!

"The boy-king serves at the master's table, three lies will he offer you..." 1:22

[@kaizenyashin]

This video was fantastic. Especially at the end when Anduin face mimics that of Varians. bravo 👏👏👏

[@jodyangel]

I love this Cinematic. It like watching the part in Lion King where Simba talks to his father in the clouds. Those same feels all over again.

[@JahinAhmed]

This is my favorite scene from Legion. It’s when we see Anduin die and Mandiun born.

"You don't have the required proficiency for that item."

[@kepper420]

That's true lol

[@EmptyBrewsky]

Anduin: " What am I supposed to do now? " Varian: " What a king must do. " Anduin: " I WILL SPEAK WITH YOUR WARCHIEF! "

[@masteroftheassassins]

I still stand by that Varian would be very proud of his son. And would be very happy that Genn was looking after him

[@BlueFireDrakka]

that look at the end, where you see an echo of Varian. the little lion has earned his mane.

[@RPDSurvivor]

Anduin is now He-Manduin

[@darekter87]

BY THE POWER OF GRAYMANE!! I mean.. GRAYSKULL!!

[@bieregger7722]

Soundtrack nailed it!

[@JoesZone]

Just saw this for the first time in game and it gave me goosebumps. Good Job blizzard. Anduin has had the best character development in the game. It feels very much like the the fabled Heros Journey and I can't wait to see him become the king he is destined to be!

[@rationalinthefaceoffangirl5036]

I'm so happy they gave us such a turning point, such a reason to like Anduin here.

[@518goeshard420]

When that sword glows I get chills every time. Play horde until wotlk then switched to alliance until I quite playing in WoD my heart still has the alliance in it
