Yeah, this one is probably the best so far. They're all surprisingly good.

[@miragenite1]

Yeah look, I would have said honour and glory right up until release, but this is the one I keep coming back to. Where as I actually found out I kind of like the OWL version of honour and glory better

_My family tells of an ancient legend about two great Dragon brothers; the Dragon of the North Wind and the Dragon of the South Wind. Together, they upheld balance and harmony in the Heavens._ _But the two brothers argued over who could better rule their land. Their quarrel turned to rage and their violent struggle darkened the skies, until the Dragon of the South Wind struck down his brother, and fell to earth, shattering the land._ _The Dragon of the South Wind had triumphed, but as time passed and he realized his solitude. The sweetness of victory turned to ash._ _For years, the bereft Dragon's grief threw the world into discord and he knew only bitterness and sorrow._ _One day, a stranger called up to the Dragon and asked:_ _"Oh, Dragon Lord, why are you so distraught?"_ _The dragon told him:_ _"Seeking power, I killed my brother, but without him, I am lost."_ _The stranger replied:_ _"You have inflicted wounds upon yourself, but now, you must heal. Walk the earth on two feet as I do. Find value in humility, then, you will find peace."_ - You are not the first assassin sent to kill me and you will not be the last. - You are bold to come to Shimada castle, the den of your enemies. - This was once my home. Did your masters not tell you WHO I WAS?! - I know who you are, Hanzo. I know you come here every year, on the same day. - Hrrr.. - You risk so much to honor someone you murdered! - You know nothing of what happened! - I know you tell yourself that your brother disobeyed the clan, and that you have to kill him to maintain order. That it was your duty. - It was my duty and my burden. That does not mean I do not honor him! - You think you honor your brother, Genji, with incense offerings? Honor resides in one's actions. - You dare to lecture me about honor? You are not worthy to say his name! _Ryū ga waga TEKI WO KURAU!!_ _Ryūjin no ken WO KURAE!!_ - Only a Shimada can control the Dragons. Who are you? Do it, then. Kill me. - No. I will not grant you the death you wish for. You still have a purpose in this life, brother. - No... How...? My brother is dead. Genji... _The Dragon knelt upon the ground. For the first time he was able to clearly see the world around him, and he became human. The stranger revealed himself as his fallen brother. Reunited, the two set out to rebuild what they had once destroyed._ - What have you... become? - I have accepted what I am and I have forgiven you. Now you must forgive yourself. The world is changing once again, Hanzo, and it's time to pick a side. - Real life is not like the stories our father told us. You are a *fool* for believing it so! - Perhaps I am a fool to think that there is still hope for you, but I do. Think on that, brother.

Even thought not many people have mentioned it, I find the part with the woman vocal to be stunning. Especially her voice wavering adds a depth of emotion that mirrors the hardships the brothers have endured. It begins around here 1:28 and goes on for a little bit but still, i find it quite mesmerising to listen to.

The levels of nostalgia this OST brings can not be paralleled. Overwatch will forever be my favorite game even if it isn’t in the best state or if I stop playing for months. There has never been a game that had me that captivated on release and years following as overwatch did, Makes me emotional when the music hits the part of Hanzo mourning. Overwatch is beautiful and I only hope they revive it with overwatch 2. 🐲🐉

[@pitterpatter4303]

So glad that they finally got around to uploading this. But I think this means that there won’t be any more fully animated cinematic shorts for Overwatch, as they’re making a playlist including this and the other tracks, and they’ll probably be focusing their attention on Overwatch 2 shorts
