[@EustainKid]

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

[@Meetthekiller7]

One of the really cool things was that I noticed was that whenever Varian used Shalamayne, it was always this really angry orange-red color, which matched Varian's personality. Anduin, however, re-ignites the blade with the color of the Light.

[@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

[@aureliodeprimus8018]

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.

[@JustSomeDamnGinger]

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: "My boy, you don't need to see this." My character who has been around since Vanilla, watching Andiun grow up: "Yes he does. We can no longer protect him. He is the King now."

I think Anduin is going to be hailed as one of the best kings the Alliance has ever seen. With the council of people such as Greymane, and Velen, he is going to make a wise, and powerful ruler. I think blizzard is shaping him up to be a Paladin, as well.

[@TechnoWaffol]

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.

2:39: Varian: "You got the look of a strong man, now. I'm glad. I can go knowing it's OK... to leave the rest to you now."

[@vitouchea9475]

"what am i supposed to do now?" "Farm ap you noob"

[@jarodheuer4171]

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

[@busytoad]

This scene deserves a acadamy award.

[@denxx56]

"What a king must do!" Proceeds to loot Varian

[@cruros9084]

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

[@stalker-svk]

Legion had the very best story of all expansions

[@mrsaladmonday4400]

He kneeled an Anduin, and arose a Manduin

[@Jaggeman92]

The timing of that vocal song when anduin leaves his thoughts.

[@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!

[@becker8633]

Last words of his father... "Son... bubble early". -dies

[@andytheindividual3862]

The flute when Anduin walks in.. omg :'(

[@Seraphim418]

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

[@yoloswag5851]

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

[@SbsGrinth]

Unlike the coward Sylvanas, Wrynn believed in Lok'tar Ogar.

[@xeronylloyd21]

Varian was a better Warchief than Sylvanas could ever be.

[@galten7361]

Sylvanas actually tries to win and wipe out the other faction. Unlike Varian. Remind me who's the better non-cuck leader?

[@anthonygrant4413]

@Galten | The one that’s not being betrayed by her allies, lolololol

[@ManTimeline]

@@galten7361 Varian tried for friendship, thus making him the stronger warrior, as a warrior does not seek conflict

[@galten7361]

The Horde isn't grateful to him for it. They aren't his kin.

[@sheevpalpatine4676]

Gods, the cinematics were strong then!

[@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.

[@mrtruthsayer7872]

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

[@warboygeorge]

Even though people say wow is dead even though the game is not what it was in many ways the lore will always give me goosebumps they have never ever let down with cinematics and the lore is unmatched with anything World of Warcraft / Warcraft literally has the single best lore out of any game ever out of Zelda out of elder scrolls out of anything The Warcraft universe is the best fantasy universe to ever be created period.

[@victorklep5261]

YourDadWorks AtNewBrightonStarBucks elder scrolls is better at world building and immersion, in my opinion, it's kinda what they focus on. Story and character development, though, are all won a million times over by wow!

[@warboygeorge]

nonono wow wins every time by far all of the different stories all of the lore its just so indepth and magical

[@victorklep5261]

Like i said, best stories are all from wow. Sylvanas' backstory, the deathwing sequence, arthas' descent into madness, the old gods, and not to forget the burning legion. But notice the pattern, all these stories are character driven. A pivotal development of a character is at the heart of every one of wow's amazing storylines. The world itself would just be a hollow shell without its characters, while elder scrolls' world still thrives and makes sense without most of the characters...thats what i mean by es is better at worldbuilding. You have your opinion though, and i respect that.

[@galten7361]

Warcraft lore is garbage.

[@vasilyselivantsev4451]

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

[@SharpmanPrime01]

Dear Blizzard: Just confirm that Anduin just class changed to Paladin. You ain't fooling anyone anymore. He wears full plate armor, has a TWO-HANDED Sword (Something Priests can't use) and likely got some serious melee skills now. You might as well.

[@jetski3384]

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

[@oidana]

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

[@bieregger7722]

Soundtrack nailed it!

[@AlexanderKirkpatrick]

All children are a direct representation of their parents. All children are but a shadow of their parents accomplishments until they finally grow up into proper adults, even if that requires the death of the parents themselves in order for the children to rise to their ultimate potential. So is the charge of being a parent, so is the task inherited by our children. Let not the past actions of family be the goal, but the future actions of our youth path the way to greater glory. So is, our charge in life.

[@xavibun]

Anduin for the next multiclass hero in HoTS please.

[@nightmelody777hiatus2]

would be so nice + he would have his father again. :3

[@jomamasboy]

Im actually hoping that the druid from diablo 2 will he added. His werewolf form could be assassin and his werebear form tank

[@jomamasboy]

And i guess just spell for ranged assassin

[@SpellboundWolf]

I saw this today for the first time. These characters are so much more emotionally deep than I had thought when I first started playing in 2014. Anduin is easily my top favorite person in WoW.

[@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
