Blizzard’s Dragonflight (DF) has finally released, and it’s time for this FFXIV weeb to react to World of Warcraft cinematic. This WOW trailer is Legion, where demons and orc warlock Gul’Dan return with infernals to rek Varian Wrinn’s flying ship. Sylvannas is leader of Horde, while obviously controlled by the Jailer. Today’s episode includes my reaction to Varian’s death, which for an in-game cutscene was excellent imo. This was as great as any Final Fantasy XIV scene at its height. Great stuff. Hope you enjoy the reactions, commentary, highlights and funny moments.

I originally skipped posting my Legion Trailer reaction because I remembered it being lackluster. I was wrong. I was just really drunk and tired so I didn't remember it well (it was a 12 hour stream). So many ppl have asked for the Legion reaction, so here it is.
I also added my reaction to Varian Wrynn's death, because for an in-game cutscene it was superb. At first I didn't take it seriously, then it forced me to with its sheer excellence. Sorry I didn't post this in order, or sooner. Thank you for watching.

That's the last good thing that blizzard make, WoW ended in Legion.
This was a crazy good expansion. You should see the final cut scene. Its pretty nuts!
That cutscene got me to come back to WoW after skipping Warlords of Draenor. Legion was amazing and the last expansion I played. Glad you posted your react <3
Right up until the demons appeared in the Legion trailer you could have played the same dialogue over someone preparing for the Black Friday sales after Thanksgiving, you have to go into both with the same kind of preparation and mentality
as always i love your reactions!!!! yes the alliance side of the cutscene, the horde had one as well, both made the horde and the alliance in tears when this was the first in game cutscene. this was our introduction into legion. this would be wows first of many game of thorns type scenes in legion. the tears was rage and sad and happiness in the first 4 hours of launch. 😀
Im a Hordie 100%, but Varian is such a badass fucker.
There are 2 versions of the scene, an Alliance and a Horde version. They give a very different context based on faction. This was the Alliance version where it looks like the Horde just betrays Varian. In the Horde version they were being overrun and Voljin (as warchief) had just taken a mortal blow. Sylvanas appeared conflicted but called for the retreat to save Voljin and the remaining forces. This was pre-jailor BS when she was still written with decent characterization.
By Elune i want Varian back-.-
But hey thats new woke blizz
Saurfang Illidan Malfurion Varian they where all to masculine for the feelings hurt blizz employees-.-
This was a really good expansion. It was so brutal and dark at times, didn't hold back. Loved the gameplay of all the classes and raids.
For the Sword splitting into 2.. its kinda lore thing, much not in the game sadly. He was once enslaved by orcs and got forced to be a gladiator like back in rome kinda. He was so good he got the name "logosh". The sword acts kinda like a filter. If he goes mad lad, his sword slpits into to like his mind, getting back into his gladitor prime. He is one of the best warriors that exist in all azeroth. We saw this moment happening again in the BFA cinematic where Saurfang fights sylvanus. If you relly wanna understand this story right here, the Horde cutscenes and alliance ones are worth to see, they tell both sides.
For the Horde version.. Voljin dying to trash is the most disappointing thing ever for the horde imo, right on the level with cairne /garrosh betrayal. Voljin is basically a shadowhunter, which got teached by monks, master of material arts, has an loa of death bound to him (bwonsambdi). He can literally beat any mortal person aswell, he has insane knowledge and kills, nearly unmatched. This shit what happened to da horde right after this was quite sad and bad storytelling overall.
the way it ended….damn the king
even as a horde player, that death was impactful. seeing it again after a few years definitely brings back memories. what a character
There is more to this than you know, Sebby. That green energy? It's Fel energy. One of the six cosmic forces. Upon interacting with a soul, it breaks it down and turns it into more fel energy. In other words. It annihilates souls. Destroys them. No afterlife. No nothing. Period. Most of us believed Varian didn't just die, but that he was completely eradicated body and soul. … However… We later are given a hint in the Legion that this might not be the case. Then it is flat out confirmed in Shadowlands. Varian's soul was twined with Shalamayne, that sword. One of its unknown powers is that the wielder, upon death, becomes part of the blade to guide those that would wield it in the future.
Speaking of that. To further expound upon this. There are two things I ask you to do. First. Watching the the cinematic Reckoning, for WoW. It ends the BFA war. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NRLuUnpGYg Take note of the sword. TWO. Watch the ending cinematic to this fight. Recognize the sword? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Asgw5kdCGA4
Varian was best human alliance king ever and that’s coming from a horde player
That's the Alliance POV of the broken shore. There are separate cutscenes for the broken for the Horde which shows why Sylvanas left the battle and the aftermath.
you missed one major cinematic of this same part but from the horde perspective it shows why sylvannus left
its almost like they had actually had a good story at one point, shame it was never in the game
