I know that this has already been suggested but I’d LOVE to see titanfall 2 looking at cutscenes and some gameplay. Plus you don’t need the first game to understand it, besides for the fact that Blisk is an amazing warrior for the enemy side. If you wanted to do a separate video on the trailer here is a link to the trailer that doesn’t have copyrighted music, I know the issues with that so you can’t look at all of the trailers! Plus gamers playground has done a cinematic video with gameplay! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VqeMjHmL9eg.htmlsi=TXZqUQtljcerUDyP

@You-ul8qw 2 месяца назад

I would suggest the Nova covert ops campaign cutscenes. It's not as large as the main 3 campaigns but imo it's done very well and the story is quite good. Alternatively, the original StarCraft 1 and StarCraft brood war cutscenes are AMAZING, albeit much fewer and far between, and of course quite old and dated. They are still fantastic though. Alternatively alternatively, there's a StarCraft content creator who makes his own fanmade cutscenes. They are *extremely good*, possibly better than even the best blizzard sc1 and sc2 cutscenes. The channel is called 낙마 Nakma, and I would recommend his most popular 3 cutscenes. Starcraft: Judgement Cinematic (2023) Starcraft: Tassadar (2023) episode I: Eye of the storm Starcraft: Tassadar (2024) The death of the overmind.

Zeratul saying "my life for Aiur" right before dying to essentially save the protoss will forever be imprinted in my brain. One of my favourite cinematics from any game.

@Jonaskp Месяц назад

Agreed, That scene really hits Hard, when you know the backstory - and probably doesn’t resonate as much if you dont. A dark templar (which Zeratul is) who Long time ago left/was driven from their homeworld Aiur due to conflict with the Templar, sacrifices his life on that very planet, to save a templar, because he knows it is the only Way to save the protoss as a united species (and the rest of the Universe) - and he does it with that Line “my Life for Aiur “ which is a classic iconic protoss soundbite (maybe the most iconic in the game), that is almost imprinted into the minds of StarCraft gamers. Goosebumps every freakin time!

@Battleturtleful Месяц назад

@@Jonaskp its even more that too, being a Dark Templar, they have existed off Aiur for so long that they have their own homeworld (Shakuras), and while Aiur is still his ancestral homeland, it probably wouldn't feel that way to many dark templar as it had been quite a bit of time. He wasn't saying I die for our home, he was saying I die for your home, all in the name of unity despite their differences and infighting.

@thecommentguy9380 Месяц назад

@@Jonaskpthe most important thing you forgot to mention is that despite being driven from their home, the elders and leaders of the Nerazim have always loved their home of Aiur and still see it as their true home. For that they will lay their lives for their ancestral home like the Khalai who chased them away the moment they are needed It was also that love that Vorazun chose to destroy Shakuras without a second thought if it means it could help them reclaim Aiur

@SCP-up4ot 18 дней назад

@@Jonaskp Zeratul is a dark templar, the faction that was driven off aiur by the templar, and were forced to find a new homeworld. But in this line we see zeratul still does see and does everything for their homeworld, and more importantly, the PEOPLE of aiur. Not only this, but zeratul also blames himself, as does everyone for the fall of aiur to the zerg. And in this we see that through everything, he always did everything for aiur.

@snperkiller1054 2 месяца назад

A fun fact i really like about the epilogue bit: Zergs and Protoss are essentially the "chosen races" while humans are just there so when they go in the void dimension the zerg's regeneration protects them, the protos's psi-shield protects them, and the terrans have to pray they can patch up their hull breaches fast enough to not all die.

30:10 The really important thing here is that Rohana is a Preserver. Preservers are (were) an extremely sacred and important position - they are living libraries, using the Khala to store the knowledge, memories, and personalities of every Protoss that ever lived (assuming said Protoss had the Khala, since not all of them do - Zeratul was part of a group that ritually severed it, hence why he was able to free Artanis). Convincing Rohala is literally the equivalent of convincing their entire civilization.

@acefire0005 2 месяца назад

I’ve told others this so I might as well say it here: If the story and cutscenes interest you, pick up the game, play on casual/normal, whatever, and enjoy the ride. A lot of the storytelling involves you setting up the next cutscene or dialogue after a victory. You are very much a part of what happens before, during, and after battles. I’ve played since the original Starcraft and its Brood War expansion. You don’t need to be an rts master to enjoy it. SC II and its difficulty settings make that more flexible. People new to real time strategy games can play a more approachable difficulty, and rts veterans can face a harsher challenge aiming to check their skills constantly. Either works. Enjoy it in the way that is best for you. It’s not all tryhard competitive over 9000 apm nonsense. Starcraft is cool, and I love it. Happy to see others check it out.

@julientravaille120 2 месяца назад

at 44:18 : your question "how did she do that ?" Kerrigan has become Xel'Naga, as such, she can create a vessel of her will like tassadar was of Ouros's will, so she just created herself as the woman she was to leave with JIM Raynor at last, JIM probably know that, so he was just waiting for her to do that and come to him (he waited her 2 years i think)

But saying that he died is selling his story short, because we know some aspect of him went on to traverse the Universe with Kerrigan.

@winterFox2r Месяц назад

@@menderus8801 That theory doesn’t hold up when you consider it says “Two Years Later” just before the Epilogue cinematic.

@alixtzh5503 2 месяца назад

Fun fact, the reason that most protoss ships and buildings don’t have roofs is due to the fact that they are photosynthetic, they don’t exactly have mouths. The protoss are my favorite race in StarCraft auir is their homeworld and the zerg overtook it in the first StarCraft. They called zeratool (the razeal guy) a trator because he killed the dark templar monarch because she was being mind controlled by the zerg. The nerve cords are how they mainly communicate and the dark templar (like zeratool) cut theirs from a young age but because they are sacred the high templar (the base or normal guys you see) see them as fallen or dark, again in the first StarCraft there was a bit of a rivalry and war around it

@kaizammit 2 месяца назад

Yup, that would do it. 😆

@Neseirik 2 месяца назад

Slight correction. That's why the dark templar consider Zeratul a traitor, however the rest of the Protoss consider him a traitor because his actions lead to the zerg discovering the location of and taking over their homeworld Aiur.

@adicacid 2 месяца назад

"Hell it's about time" holds so much weight for this series. Tychus says it at the end of the Wings of Liberty trailer and that specific shot was also used as the announcement trailer for the game back in 2007. At that time it's been almost 10 years since the release of the original Starcraft. The hype was insane. The line was a bookend not just for the campaign but for Starcraft 2 as a whole. Unfortunately Blizzard has stopped supporting SC2 (i.e. producing major updates and new content) since 2020. Most SC2 veterans are pinning their hopes on an upcoming RTS from a new studio comprised of staff who originally worked on SC2.

@ShinigamiSamaH 2 месяца назад

Again, just like with HotS, there are many contextual scenes in-between the cinematics that need watching to grasp what is going on. You are essentially watching the resolution without the conflict for each of the cinematics. The "DLC part" is actually the Epilogue of StarCraft released at the same time with LotV. It is a 3 missions story that meant to capped off the saga, with each mission letting you play as one of the three races, thus giving each of them equal screen time. The last scene with Kerrigan returning is meant to be ambiguous. It could be the usual magic MacGuffin where she survived somehow, it could be that it was all in Raynor's head, that he died and Kerrigan took him to the afterlife, etc... up to you. The credits have a slideshow of "where are they now" for all the characters, with the only clue for Raynor being "James Raynor was last seen in Joey Ray's bar where his badge was recovered. He was never heard from again."

23:04 When I was taught how to shake hands I was told that extending your hand palm up was a 'Submissive/Inviting' handshake, hand extended palm sideways was an 'Equal/Join' handshake & a hand extended with the palm down was a 'Dominant/Comply' handshake. All were a way of showing authority or position to the other so that handske was Artanis inviting Raynor to join him as an equal. 31:30 'Today we must come together', this is a message that humanity must hear & embrace because our divisions are destroying both our planet & our species. Just as the Protos with their different Glans are one race so are we & we must work as one race if we are to evolve beyond what we are now.

There is a 4th set of Starcraft missions and cutscenes with the Nova Covert Ops missions For a bit of context for this expansion, It was broken into 3 parts and released a couple months apart, the part with Zeratul until the 3:55 mark, than the main game until 35:27 cutscene with the last bit being the end which most of the community felt was rushed. The ending cutscene with Kerrigan most people believe that since she's Xel'naga and has control over the "Purity of Form and Purity of Essence" which allow the Xel'Naga to change form and Dna in beings she transformed and took Jim away for their endless honeymoon, or as a joke it was all a dream when Jim passed out at the bar in the first game and Kerrigan came to pick him up after the day Most of the contexts for the cutscenes in this game are mostly in gameplay and the hub through conversations and a couple of cutscenes I didn't see in this video about the other legions and them uniting with the Daelaam

There's an animated cinematic that was revealed outside the game, in preparation to the release of them, as a trailer. In it, there's a summary of Protoss history and lore, especially the importance of Aiur, the Kala, and the unity of Protoss in the darkness of losing Aiur to the Zerg. I would recommend it because it prepares you well for the very for the initial in-game scenes. Also, very emotional.

@untaniskl 2 месяца назад

Something I noticed: the first and the last words spoken by a character on screen were the same (hell, it's about time), so for me it adds additional feeling of ending where it started. And yes, the last part is left ambiguous - some believe it was in his head, some don't. But the ending slides (not shown in this video) tell us that previously uninhabitable worlds became green, and jim disappeared, with only his Marshal's badge found in the bar. Also, you watched not only the LOTV cutscenes, but also epilogue cutscenes, that's why you felt as if it was "tacked on".

My favorite cinematic has to be the one on Korhal where Artanis is talking to Raynor. Artanis speaks with the authority he has but with such tenderness, which just feels like a nice hug when mixed with that telepathic reverb effect they put on. And of course the detail of Raynor turning Artanis's hand to show Zeratul's blade, in that moment realizing a close mutual friend was yet another casualty in this war. Now that I think about it... the cinematic starts with the local losses with the bodies and graves everywhere, then they start talking about the more general destruction and death on other worlds, they decide on their next course of action and move to make it happen, and then that fucking handshake, without a word Raynor gets on the same page as Artanis, and now it's personal. "Did you know this warrior?" "No, but I knew THAT one."

Yes, Amon is the "force of nature" villain. Yeah, the best part about Raynor is that he's just some hick, backwater sheriff who ended up in the right place at the right time to be important. I like your comment on the redemption. As Tolkien said "Every story is, in some way, a reflection of the Great Story." The fun part is that there's actually another epilogue that kind of sums up the larger story, but it's all in text an no voice over. So that it begins and ends with the spoken line "Hell, it's about time." The thing I'd have to disagree with is that you think it should have given the vision for Jim and Kerrigan more time. That would on one hand be nice, but on the other it would undercut the "we only have this moment" message.

About Sarah, the Xel'naga (massive creatures in the end and that were all read in that big room that Sarah and Artanis visited). Story-spoiler so, skip if you actually plan on playing and want to learn things InGame instead! . . . . . So it is revealed that the Xel'naga are these massive creatures that "seed" worlds and universes with life. Some worlds prosper while other worlds end up destroying themselves. Like the "why haven't we encountered alien life yet?" theory that not all civilisations live past a certain point because they end up going nuclear or for some other reason end up destroying their own planet and species. Maybe a comet hit them and wiped them out. But at some point the Xel'naga find some prominent species and imbue them with "Essence of Purity" and Essence of Form". After that the species are no longer able to fully develop as they want but they are instead on a path set by the Xel'naga. If things go as planned, those two species will eventually merge together and become new Xel'naga, and this is how those creatures reproduce. The Great Cycle must continue, as the guy says at the end. New worlds must be seeded with life, new species "blessed" with "Essence of Life" and "Essence of Form" and new Xel'naga will form. Amon saw this as bad. For the Xel'naga to basically adops and forge species according to their will instead of letting life develop on its own. So Amon decided to try to find a way to break this cycle the Xel'naga were doing, and along the way he became more and more drastic and wanted to reshape the world as he saw fit and as he saw as the best world. Basically becoming what he accused the other Xel'naga of. The others banished him into the Void where he learned to harness the power. He used the power to take over the Zerg (he created an Overmind that controlled all Zerg and the Overmind was aware of how it was used for evil so grabbing and converting Kerrigan into Queen of Blades in StarCraft1 was its way to try to maybe break free of its programming by Amon. So in a way maybe Amon's goals and views were altruistic at the beginning, but it went downhill from there..

There is a bit of text in the original final cutscene, explaining the aftermath and what happened to Raynor. Also some bits you might have missed due to missing context: Before Zeratul (a Dark Templar) finally charges at corrupted Artanis to sever his nerve cords, he says: "For Aiur", homeworld of the protoss. But the Dark Templar where exiled to another world (Shakuras) ages ago, which they call their home. At this point you know, Zeratul will sacrifice himself for all the good of all Protoss. The final Protoss scene implies that both groups have reunited again. Rohana, the Protoss advisor girl, was the oldest living Protoss when awakened by Tassadar. She was kind of a librarian/living archive. Her connection to the Khala was therefore much stronger. Hence her being able to tap into Amons thoughts but also struggling the most to let go of millenia of thopughts and memories.

@basicactsnow5293 Месяц назад

Also, if you played Brood War, Artanis was there as a regular ol Templar during the scourging of Shakuris and ultimately it's end which was a huge plot point in the older games. Of course at the time you were following a different set of characters, but he was there and named. So when he came up later it was like, THATS THE GUY

@pphan6110 15 дней назад

I know I'm a month late but had to throw this in about why we follow Raynor, Kerrigan, Zeratul and Artanis specifically and it's all due to SC1's method of storytelling. These were characters we met and literally worked along side with throughout SC1 and Brood War. Your role in the game and universe is to command forces with these characters either fighting along with you on missions or advising you via pre-mission dialogue. They talk to you the player directly and make you a part of their world. In SC1 Episode 1: you led the forces side by side with Raynor and Kerrigan. You brought Arcturus Mengsk to power. When Mengsk ordered the retreat from Tarsonis not only did he betray Kerrigan and Raynor but you as well. The "commander" that Kerrigan calls for in the New Gettysburg cutscene back in WoL is you. In Episode 2: you lead the Zerg forces that protected Kerrigan as she mutated into a Terran Zerg hybrid. You led the invasion of Aiur and brought the Overmind to carry out Amon's will. Episode 3: you led the Protoss force that was tasked with finding Tassadar. You were the one that sided with him to search for Zeratul. You led the battle to destroy the Overmind and halting Amon's plans commanding both the Protoss and Raynor's forces (Granted this was retconned to be Artanis so you pretty much were Artanis before he was actually introduced in the Brood War expansion)

The detail at the end of the story was essentially god Kerrigan taking Jim with her to heaven/void/wherever. No one ever sees Jim again and I think that's super poetic that Jim and Kerrigan leave their lives behind to live in eternity with each other. Also there's another story called Nova Ops which is some more story taking place after.

33:42 these braids are sort of magical nerves that connect their entire minds together, but they have also been the cause of conflict within the protoss species. Some Protoss rejected these nerfs and became Dark Templars (like Zeratul, the self-sacrificing one with the green blade) and left their home planet to live elsewhere. But now that their magical bond has been corrupted, they must all separate themselves from it, which indirectly forces them to unite again as one nation.

@ghostyuki-kfpinquisitor1038 2 месяца назад

As one might guess, the Terrans/Protoss/Zerg are basically the Imperium/Eldar/Tyranids (though diverged more after the first game) Amon (and I imagine the other Xelnaga as they created the Zerg/Protoss) can basically control Protoss via their connection with the Khala. The dark templar already severed that connection (which is one reason they're got exiled in the first place) so when it happened they were basically the only ones that could still function. All of the campaigns let you choose between different paths (though you could go back and do all of them in the same playthrough) with a certain number required for the main story (at least in WoL, never tried speedrunning the others). The room where Artanis was holding off the zerg by the crystal. Basically to dent the numbers of zerg (and because Shakuras, the planet of the dark templar was lost anyway), they detonated it after holding as long as possible to lure as many zerg as possible there. The (zerg/protoss) hybrid are overpowered to put it mildly. Game's worth booting up and isn't even especially long relatively speaking. The Purifiers (the mech guy's faction) and the Taldarim (from WoL and that the edgy looking guy's from)'s storylines didn't even show up. En Taro Adun -> En Taro Tassadar -> En Taro Artanis, from the past to the future. They killed the body Amon was going to use, not him. There is an epilogue campaign in LotV (the part after the talk of rebuilding) that deals with him a bit more permanently. It does feel a bit rushed in both story and mission design. Raynor finishes on the line that Tychus began WoL with. While I want more with this IP (even though the story wrapped up), I'm not sure I trust current Blizzard with it.

Heya Kai! I really really do hope, either on your own time, or on the channel, you review all starcraft lore with the actual videos recapping the first game and expanding on the 2nd game's cinematics. The context is crucial, not necessary, but, it does add a lot. A fair warning, each "episode" of the 2nd game is significantly longer with each cutscene, but I promise if you loved starcraft so far, you won't regret it. :3 Even if you don't do it, that's fine, i'm just a huge fan of starcraft. I grew up with Zeratul and Raynor. Zeratul's death and Raynor's happy ending are two things i'll hold close to my heart forever. they feel like old friends..

@kielyarger5283 2 месяца назад

Okay, now that you've seen some of this, check out the Reclamation video posted on the main Starcraft channel for a taste of what you missed by watching this very shortened version of the events of the game.

@zestyaardvarks Месяц назад

Bit of a nutshell lore dump because I love the Protoss lol: The Khala was very much a religion to the Protoss. They always had a telepathic connection, originally given to them by the Xel'Naga (specifically Amon), so they've always worshipped them as gods. However the Protoss also spent a great deal of time in civil war which essentially broke that connection, then came a guy named Khas who created the Khala, bringing that connection back. The Protoss built a new society around the Khala, some rejected it by cutting their nerve cords and were branded heretics and eventually banished after some more civil war (these became the Dark Templar, of which Zeratul was one). The Khalai Protoss (them gold boys) held the Khala as sacred as it was the thing that brought unity after generations of conflict, an Aeon of Strife if you will, so they saw anything different from that as heresy, impure, or inferior. They saw Terrans as disgusting inferiors that speak through orifices and the Zerg as pests to be cleansed, that is until the Zerg drove the Protoss off their homeworld and Raynor helped them escape to Shakuras, home of the Dark Templar. Their story is very much thinking themselves high and mighty, repeatedly getting humbled, forcing them to either reflect on what worked before that's hindering them now, or face extinction.

Great job mate - one of my favourite game storys of all time

@anonymous5593 2 месяца назад

The ending that you are referring to was an epilogue as series of 3 final missions. Legacy of the Void was the Protoss arc, and then you go into the epilogue (which came attached to the end of Legacy of the Void) which has you play one mission as Protoss (Fighting your way into the void) one as Terran (Protecting Kerrigan as she powers up after receiving the power of the Xel'Naga), and then finally one as Zerg (Where you finally defeat Amon, and get to use Kerrigan in her new super powered form). I've always felt the ending cinematic of Amon's defeat was really lackluster, but I think it's in part due to the fact that the mission you play has you struggling against Amon and weakening him to a point that he can finally be defeated. The ending hits so hard when Jim finally leaves with Sarah, and in case you missed it, his final words, "Hell, it's about time," is the same phrase that Tychus uses in the very first cinematic back at the beginning of Wings of Liberty to kick off the trilogy.

@altitoman 2 месяца назад

So that final set of missions, where all the factions enter the Void together was meant to be the full culmination of the games' stories converging for the player. In each of the games, Wings of Liberty, Heart of the Swarm, and Legacy of the Void, the player gets to make unchangeable decisions, both with the various story paths and technology/unit upgrade paths. In the final set of missions, all of those choices (assuming you have the save data for all the games on the same computer) show through as you take control of each faction's army one final time in each of the 3 missions that precede each of those cutscenes after you enter the Void. So in Legacy of the Void, if you chose to upgrade your Zealot units to Centurions, then those are the units that will be available to you in the first mission. For Wings of Liberty, if you decided to upgrade your Bunker buildings with Auto-Turret tech, that's the tech that will be attached to your army's Bunkers when you build them in the second mission. And in Heart of the Swarm, if you decided to give all your Zerglings the wing mutation, then it'll be those type of Zerglings that you'll be spawning en masse in the third and final mission. Watching just the cutscenes, you don't get that portion of the storytelling, just like you mentioned in your Mini-Review section. So that's likely why that final set of cutscenes felt so "rushed" or "crammed in." For the player, they lead into the final chapter of our decades-long space opera, then give us nice little lore breathers in between some of the most difficult missions that any of the games have *ever* thrown our way. Fighting a literal uphill battle in order to reach the unknown Voice as Artanis and the united Protoss? Defending an essentially helpless Kerrigan against waves of enemies as Jim and the Terran military as she absorbs the xel'naga's essence? Then protecting her again as Zagara and the Swarm and taking the fight to Amon's corrupted armies while she goes toe-to-toe with the being trying to destroy your entire dimension? Words just aren't enough to aptly describe the emotions you feel as the player that has fought their way through Starcraft, Brood Wars, Wings of Liberty, Heart of the Swarm, and Legacy of the Void... It truly is something that has to be experienced for yourself.

"My life for Aiur" was one of the greatest lines in video game history. For almost their entire existence, the dark templar were banished from their homeworld. For Zeratul to use that line in particular, kept Artanis on the right path for the rest of the game.

@avitraangelica9278 2 месяца назад

A few notes: 1) Like lots of other people have been saying, there's a lot of kinda.... sub-cutscenes, mission briefs/debriefs, etc. that make it VERY worth playing the game to get the lore. They're typically less cinematic, but it may still be worth playing for fun and interest if you want more lore and characterization and such. I would say that it's worth reacting to/doing a let's play of from a story telling and cinematography standpoint, but I'm a fan of the games and wildly biased. XD 2) Part of the reason why, beyond the cinematic storytelling reasons, the protoss tend to have a lot of upward angle is to constantly remind us that they're 2-2.5m tall proud warrior badass types as a culture. They are, in fact, kinda big and have a LOT of presence as just a species trait. 3) Agreed that having Kerrigan rip that hybrid apart was important to maintain her characterization (for now ignoring how scattered her characterization can get, ugh), and also, once you're in the mission briefing segment itself, she mentions that she's been fighting big nasty creatures like that for DAYS. She got tossed around the way she did because she's exhausted and was kinda distracted snarking with Artanis. 4) The spear of Adun, that big ship the protoss are on in the campaign, is extremely cool. Also, 74 km long. It's AWESOME! 5) How can she do that? Weird cosmic thingamajig powers go brrrrr. It's ambiguous if she actually manifested, showed up, and them she and Jim zoomed off to wherever or if it's implying that she raptured him or various other theories, but there's a post-cinematic slideshow that says that Jim was "never seen again," so yeah 6) I... can tell you that that last bit sure wasn't in the game! No idea what it was. Looks like a TF2 animation? Very weird bit to toss into the compilation...

Starcraft is a 4x real-time strategy so the player controls the base and army, not play as Artanis in-game directly (though he is a special unit in two of the missions). There's a written part that comes after the ending cinematic. In it, it says that Jim Raynor disappeared and was never seen from again. Personally, I think the ending cinematic was him getting raptured because he was following Kerrigan who basically ascended to a higher mode of existence. The whole "Khala" thing is this persistent psychic connection that the Protoss have thanks to their "nerve cords". It's like a psychic version of being online where everyone has full access to each other all the time. There is a scene that describes this, after they first acquire the ship, where Artanis laments to Karax that after being severed from the Khala, he can no longer feel Karax's or any of his other fellow Protoss's emotions and how he feels so alone. Zeratul is from those who were outcast a long time ago because they rejected the Khala by severing their nerve cords in order to preserve their individuality. That is why Zeratul was not affected by the "corruption" because his nerve cords were already severed.

PD: There is an extra portion of story called "Nova: Covert Ops" that is very interesting and i personally would love to see, but its more like a spinoff, you can take it in count if you want to. PD2: About Kerrigan at the end, there is an extra comic-like artworks in the end that tells a little bit about what happened after, all points that Kerrigan spent all her Xel'naga power to bring life in many worlds and then just returned to her original human form to spend the rest of her days with the love of her life. Last words of the game says that nobody ever saw Jim Raynor again.

Legacy of the video is such a gem. I love how you see Protoss evolve from being that race so solemn and proud of their traditions. The severing from their neural chord was such an unlikely thing to do, but they finally understand they have to get rid of it in order to survive. I'm sure there is a metaphor to how we as the human race cling to ways of living or thinking that are no longer sustainable in the modern world, and the way the Protoss seem to suffer and even fall to their knees after the severing let's you see just how painful is to leave all those things behind. Seeing proud Rohanna severing her own cord is such an impressive moment... and tears rushed to my eyes when Selendys asked Artanis what will become of they after, and he replies: "free".

@Arachnaphobian 2 месяца назад

Context for 'post credit' cutscenes. The game was released as a triology - one for each race. I think they ended the main protoss campaign at Amon's banishment because they want the 'final' battle against amon to be 'experienced' as all three races. Otherwise story would've ended with the protoss as the world saviour. The 'Epiologue' had three missions and you play as one race each mission Protoss (to kill duran in void), Terran (to protect kerrigan while she transforms, then Zerg with Xel'naga kerrigan to kill Amon. Could they have extended the epilogue? Maybe - but might've felt redundant as we've just gone through the main story missions fighting Amon - only for extra content ...to fight amon. They did come out with DLC called nova covert ops with a continuation of the story and which was still interesting and fun to play. TLDR; Epilogue was added so other races are playable against Amon (and get involved in the plot more)

From what I know, the Xel'Naga are sorta in the same vein with Halo's Precursors or 40k's Old Ones in that they seed life, and are ancient god-like beings except seemingly not as powerful, or omniscient rather. They run with the cycle where they foster life until a race that can take essence (Zerg) and a race that have psionic capabilities (Protoss, or Terrans/Humans) merge into one and the Xel'Nagas of that cycle would give their essence to the new race of Xel'Naga and pass on, and the new Xel'Naga will continue the cycle.

@Mar_Marine 2 месяца назад

Regarding Jim, Kerrigan and Zeratul, they're also all major characters in the first StarCraft (and the Brood War expansion). Also, the "months later" parts were an Epilogue attached to the end of Legacy of the Void, not a separate DLC or anything. To explain Kerrigan showing up at the very very end, while I'm not a lore master, my understanding is yes - she can basically give herself form wherever and whenever, as that is what Ouros (the squid looking boy, a.k.a the Xel'Naga) used a major character - Tassadar - from the first game to lure Zeratul into looking into the prophecy in the first place. And I know people have probably said it in every video you've done, but there's also a fair bit of story telling that's done in the gameplay itself. As you noted, suddenly there was all the different factions of Protoss that you hadn't met. Fenix, the transformer guy, Alarak, the red one, and Vorazun, the Dark Templar. As part of the story, you meet each of their factions (the Purifiers, the Tal'Darim and the Nerazim, respectively) throughout the game, and work to unite them to fight against Amon. There have also been a few missing cutscenes, I believe. Not just here, but also the Wings of Liberty video. Some I can understand being left out as they are more between-mission conversations between characters, but I believe there's a few straight up cinematics that are missing too.

@AhmadSammy 2 месяца назад

The last part where they go to the void to defeat Amon is an Epilogue to the whole Starcraft II trilogy. It was released with the Legacy of the Void campaign, but it’s not meant to be part of the Protoss arc per-se, but as a grand ending to the 3 Starcraft campaigns.

Now that you mention it, it is a bit weird to players (and watchers) of just StarCraft 2 to introduce Artanis here, but all of them: Raynor, Kerrigan, Zeratul, Artanis, and Arcturus were in the original game from 1998, as well as some other characters that didn't make large appearances in these cut-scenes but made their mark in the games' missions (Samir Duran, Fenix, Alexi Stukov).
