He will walk off. End up being adopted by a goblin and a flatulent Ogre and learn how to leave all his troubles behind. Some years later jaina will find him and urge him to come back home. Varian appears in the clouds and tells him " remember who you are. You are my son and the one true king."

[@melancholybobbyjoe]

I loved this cutscene, this is the Sylvanas I adored in the beginning. A good but tortured soul. A tragic character, they did her dirty but at least this cinematic felt like WoW again to me. People keep wanting to ship these 2 but to me that is just weird af for a few reasons, but I do love the motherly like nature she has towards him and she even gave him a nickname similar to her baby brother's. I personally think her turn around was when Anduin asked her if that was what it felt like when Arthas ripped her soul apart and she said yes. I think that was when she realized how she screwed up because was putting Anduin through a similar thing to what she had experienced that made her the way she was.

[@filipburcik4833]

no spoiler please, no spoiler

[@renskekoenders2202]

I think her voice does sound loving as she says farewell. I think she regards him as the brother she could not say goodbye to. It's like she has gotten her second chance at that. No farewell to Little Lord Sun, but a warm farewell to the Little Lion. Love it sooo much

[@TheStraightestWhitest]

I still ship them and I don't even care about WOW.

[@serapphine4291]

Nah, they belong together as a couple. In their true essence, they are both caring and loyal (let's not forget the loyalty of Ranger General, as well as Varian's) and I think both of them showed their feelings towards one another during the cinematics. Yes, it would've been weird to have a confirmation of this during Shadowlands, but I do hope they get their peace and happiness together in future expansions.

When did he ask her about how it felt when Arthas ripped her soul apart? I wanna see that.

[@The23Claws]

for a moment, when Sylvanas said 'the work begins' I thought andy would offer to help, to resolve his inner turmoil, along her (Sylvie refusing since it's her penance), so I couldn't help giggling when he replied "yes.... ok bye" and then left.

[@JioVega]

Anduin is more confused than she is. If anything, he should be asking her for guidance. When people are in emotional turmoil, theres actually not much you can do for them. They need to think. Sylvannas advising Anduin to face himself and begin soul searching was probably all he needed. The rest is time and effort.

@@JioVega "if anything, he should be asking her for guidance" - that's literally what he's doing in the video. And the fact that they both need time for introspection is exactly what made me think Anduin might join her. But it would've demeaned Sylvanas' repentance :p

A modern WoW cutscene that actually made me *feel* something. With decent writing no less. I never thought I'd see it again.

[@tamas9554]

WoW cinematics were always of the highest standard, and cutscenes also became decent awhile with more voice acting and in-game animations. In BfA and Shadowlands, some cinematics became just dialogues more and more, with less action and interesting stuff in them. However, these were for the most part, exceptions. But in Dragonflight, I literally can't watch one without cringing, I would never rewatch a cinematic from the current expansion :D

[@lerakuro]

Looking back and trying to not be jaded, I think all the interactions between Anduin and Sylvannas in Shadowlands were good character stories. It just sucks they screwed up the jailer so bad. Honestly they could have made him a much better villain with just a few tweaks but instead we get an example of how not to write a villain

You are welcome! :D Thanks for watching. Blizzard did the hard job

The reason Anduin is so shaken is because he knows there was nothing that stopped him from becoming the exact same as Sylvanas and Arthas. Imagine regarding someone as an ununderstandable evil and then suddenly you are on their feet walking the exact same path as them and there is nothing you can do to stop and just by external help you are able to break free.

[@michaelpitou3690]

- "It is perilous to confuse what you are made to do with what you choose to do" I'd like to think that Sylvanas talks about both her and Anduin situations. As much as developers tried to sell that she was "made" to do horrible things, she herself consider it her own choice, her sins for which she must atone, all while convincing Anduin that he, as opposed to her, were actually forced into this. It gives a cool perspective: Anduin believes that he is just like Sylvanas - succumbed to temptation of great power and choose to do evil because he isn't as good person as he believe, while Sylvanas sees in Anduin something she herself would like to be - an innocent victim of powers beyond your control.

[@junito1957]

for sure sylvanas has some feeling for Anduin if sylvanas could ever get her old form back for sure they will be together

[@kaneslives]

Anduin: Whoa what are you doing here? Sylvanas: This isn’t exactly what you would call Zion. Joshua Graham: I’ve come to help you both find your way. Let’s get to it. We can’t except God to do all the work.

[@trevorsreya8277]

Anduin: "No choice". Sylvanas: *TRIGGERED*

[@renskekoenders2202]

I found that really funny, to be honest, for those were the exact words Anduin used against her.

[@totomen666]

still have a hope for Anduin x Sylvanas romance, she is Queen he deserves and as bonus she has experience in art of war, so not some trophy wife that just sits at home.

[@Revens1]

gross

[@MarcKellison]

Lord no...

[@Dogmeat5010]

Call me a depraved corpse lover, but the thought of Anduin planting soft kisses on the nape of Sylvanas's neck sends chills down my spine 🥵

My dear God,i Hope no!!!Should be disgusting

[@georgeindestructible]

They should've stayed together, he helping her help back more souls and in the process both feel atoned as he supposedly agreed that work to do be done but instead he tried to choke the emotions down with drinking and going around doing meaningless stuff until he was called in TWW. The exhilaration feeling probably wasn't his own (likely the Arthas' piece of soul placed by the Jailer in the new sword caused the feeling, or even just the Jailer), as Anduin was never the person who acted or felt like punishment and/or retaliation should be a thing done without fair judgement first(he clearly demonstrates this an absurd amount of time over his life), so it made no sense for him feel the way he felt other than just being a human with overwhelming capacity for empathy which, alongside with his very strong willpower was why he was granted the powers of the Light, and to top that off regarding this he somehow forgot, that he was the only known individual, a mortal, with willpower strong enough to break domination magic when he had to pick a side in an ultimatum of a situation (Anduin raid boss fight/cutscene). And his father was kind like that too but more aggressive. This, cutscene, was not what it should be...

[@shinydoubloon8237]

[@cameronmcewen9666]

This shipping is literally idiotic and brain damaged!

[@AngelicOne001]

This hits right in the feels, but it's better than what a lot of people seemed to have been predicting. Yes, he goes to Sylvanus....but you know what? He needed her perspective and a bit of her sass to help him see the truth. None of what happened was his fault, and hopefully now he can dissect what was and wasn't his feelings but...poor thing, to think that satisfaction was something he couldn't tell if it was his or the Jailer's? That breaks my heart. Either way, I'm glad he's taking the time to himself that he needs. I don't think I could face the people that saved me so soon after those circumstances either.

[@shovelenthusiast7389]

I am glad that the didnt put her through a redemtion ark but penance instead

[@zarecht2968]

The shipper in me wants them to end up together or at the very least have some form of relationship maybe turn Sylvie into Anduin's emotional support mommy that everyone hates even though she does try to help out Anduin or something?

[@hgsphynx]

I hope thus isn't the end of sylvanas. I want more of this "free" sylvanas

[@marshalllasitter642]

/shrug I could see them together. They would balance each other out fairly well I think. As for the actual cinematic, it’s been a long while since I’ve felt a Blizzard in game cinematic was done well. Emotions, facial expressions, body language, etc. Would love to see something with Kael’thas and Lothar.

[@ВладиславШаклеин-ч7м]

Please do not start this crap, at least because he's not even 20 and she's thousands of years old. Plus undead. She can advise him, but that's the extent of it. And even then, the possible length of a lifespan affects a person's mentality greately. Perspective of someone who is capable of living thousands of years might not be useful for someone who is unlikely to hit a hundred. It looks more like he reminds her of Lirath, her younger brother, and even her nicknames for both are similar.

[@averagegamerjoe8171]

Guess I’m not the only one that got a romantic vibe. I think Anduin admires her, feels sorry for her. Stockholm syndrome maybe

[@vandakaii2893]

@@ВладиславШаклеин-ч7м Actually, you completely correct this was shown a bit in warcraft 2 and 3 up to where she died and she failed to defeat Arthas and in that defeat Arthas did not just torture but sacrificed 9/10 Blood Elves to raise Kel'Thuzad furthermore corrupting the sun well.. In that defense her brother was struck down as well.. Hence, why when she came back she came back as basically Vengeance incarnate. So I can completely see why she has this sort of big sister vibe over Anduin.. I do wonder cause it was not shown if her brother was raised up as an undead as well and lost control of himself to Arthas's will and in this she seen the same happen to Anduin and felt for him cause of something she went thru with her lil bro..

[@ВладиславШаклеин-ч7м]

@@vandakaii2893 You confuse characters, though. Lirath died in Second War, when Quel'Talas was warring against the Horde, not during Scourge invasion. She was, however, *very* fond of him, that much is true, and one of the Jailer's trump cards was that the Arbiter separates families in afterlife (hey, Draka), so she's unlikely to meet Lirath again... unless she helps Zovaal to break the machine of Death.

[@shawnwarrynn8609]

I think Lother is in the either Light, Order, or even the Life/Nature version of the Afterlife. According to Blizzard each of the six factions have their own Afterlives with their own Zereths, like how Death has the Shadowlands and Zereth Mortis.

[@TheBlaert]

So having missed out on a ton of content for various reasons was Sylvanas corrupted by the Jailer in BFA or what?

[@patrikzotaj7959]

it is unknown if arthas' soul and also his good paladin prince side soul fragment half is still out there somewhere in the maw since last remnant and flicker of arthas' soul was part of his soul and also his evil death knight and lich king side soul fragment half it is unknown if arthas' soul will be judged and redeemed by the new arbiter after zovaal's defeat since arthas was victim of domination magic and since arthas' soul was split when he carried and touched frostmourne.

[@cibervader]

Sorry, no redemption for Arthas, in fact, we're going to retcon scourge lore so rather than being unique they just copied Maldraxus in lore.

[@patrikzotaj4528]

oh yes.

[@karazan1454]

this hit close to home, anduin is scared to call onto the light because it might not answer.

[@ghostraven1948]

but maybe the light will answer. idk alls had the understand the light knows u better than any one else.

Out of the many atrocities we did playing as Arthas in Frozen Throne. Turning Sylvanas into a Banshee remains as my favorite.

what happens if anduin becomes corrupted by old gods and void powers whispers of the void and old gods thus he becomes like arthas and wrathion's father deathwing.

[@xSHAD0WENx]

my head canon. after sylvanas clears out all the lost souls she goes to tiffen and has a heart to hearts talk. when she leaves and walks away a little she turns around and say "oh, by the way. your son calls me mommy too."

[@Zarod89]

Run Sanctum of Domination with ambience and music sound enabled. It hits different when you're not in a raid. Shadowlands was underrated.

Hopefully they make themselves useful and find dead characters we want to come back. Although if I was writing this I'd have Ner'zul, now free of the Jailer, do a jailbreak on Torghast and free the souls of various dead characters like Gul'dan(after merging the two separate Gul'dan's together) and Teron Gor, have Ner'zul take Torghast for himself, become the Leader of a new Necromancer class and have Torghast be the new Necromancer Order Hall.

[@gokublack8342]

You destroyed what was left of Nerzhul in Sanctum (or at least ppl that did that raid did)

[@CptVanguard]

I see it as a satisfying ending, its not a perfect one, but its an ending that feels like they at least salvaged shadowlands as a mess of a story.

[@shazzakip2]

I'd say it's more moving on from the mess that is shadowlands and the whole zovaal arc. The three new cutscenes feel satisfying because they have absolutely nothing to do with the jailer or the main plot of shadowlands and instead are moving on from that and focusing on the characters we already know (bar the winter queen).

[@risasdesktop]

Its funny how people wanted Sylvanas to burn, and Arthas a redemption, despite every bit of reasoning saying Sylvanas was a better person under the Banshee Queen (which she was forced to be) also implying Arthas was just as genuinely evil when he willingly became a death knight
