Final Fantasy 14 Fan Reacts to EVERY World of Warcraft Cutscene For The FIRST TIME! [3] 

Here's the VOD for those interested! WARNING: tomfoolery inbound - ru-vid.comPhd9XyxpaT0?feature=share

"It kind of consumed my life for a month" Me looking back at the past 25 years.. Yes..

Those intro cutscenes you saw in warlords of draenor had the 4 warlords from a video you watched before. There were discussed at the war table with varian and the draenei.

'Night Elf Preppers' is a more succinctway of describing Nightborn.

To be fair, Thrall did leave advisors behind to try to guide Garrosh into leading the horde with honour. Garrosh killed one of them in a duel and sent assassins to kill another in Pandaria. When he started stringing people up on the city walls, Thrall joined the rebellion that helped stop him. He even pleaded with him in the raid to stand down.

7:52 Min.: KingdomAce you got invited to the Lake Laogai ;)

Bro perfect timing, i just found your othere w.o.w vids last night/this morning and was wanting/wondering if you'd do more. Glad to see some ingame cutscenes aswell. Edit: Definitely subbing

9:20 Chat probably told you, but hey responding as we watch to reactions is a thing. The game doesn't have the continual progression through expansions that FFXIV does. Whether that was a good decision or not who can say but the game doesn't focus on the story as much so they made the decision to let you play through ANY expansion to get from 1-60. Now this is different for new accounts, because you don't have a max level character yet (or this might only be Level 60) so you have to play through the Battle for Azeroth expansion. They're actually changing this to Dragonflight once the new expansion hits. But once you've hit Level 60, on any other characters you can go to an NPC named Chromie in the capital of your faction. She lets you choose another "timeline" to play through. Now even when doing this you're going to out-level the expansion long before completing the story but you can always go back.

the thing about the burning Legion that made them such a huge threat was the fact they were basically immortal, and they were going around burning other worlds snuffing them all of life in their Burning Crusade, yes the demons can die... but they eventually become reborn the one thing the Legion feared was the the Void for if they were ever killed within the realm of twisting nether (where all their souls go to) which the void had the power to do so, they die permanently

Honestly I'd love a wow music reaction stream or video or both. There's so many good tracks. Though honestly some of them are the most impactful when you are there yourself for the first time in the game.

You need to make a Demon Hunter and level it through Legion, literally the best game/leveling experience in game 🔥

My character in the game saw this incident happen and had _no_ context as to why the Horde abandoned them, he was _really_ pissed off. But as the game progressed, he discovered why the Horde supposedly left them to die. The Horde was overrun and suffered a major casualty. Their warchief was put out of commission, and had no choice but to retreat. Then his attitude changed.

YES!!!! so excited was looking forward to this video. keep up the good work!

man, Yrel, the female space goat from WoD that you see a bunch of times, is still one of my favorite characters in the franchise, they did so well in having you travel alongside her and help her out (as alliance player) while growing into the leadership role that was thrust upon her by velen when he sacrificed himself... *spoilers* -and the maraad did the same.- -then they f*cking assassinated her character (as in personality), just to introduce a new sub-race for the horde, though i never got around to playing their introduction quest, so idk details- also, looking back at these cutscenes, WoD as a whole was kind of a treat for people who have been with warcraft for a long time and know their lore, because you see so many more-or-less important characters and locations in a "what if?" scenario. for example the building you are in at 19:40 is just a ruin in the main timeline and the area you commented had beautiful trees is literally an ashen, grey desert, because the horde basically nuked that draenei holy site by summoning an elemental lord within it. 23:45 man, the people saying that garrosh did nothing wrong have very.... selective memory. because garrosh used to have honor, for example he killed a general that genocided a bunch of innocent, defenseless druids; he was disgusted by sylvanas reanimating the dead to have them fight against their former allies and several more things. but he became unhinged, partially from outside influences, partially just due to his nature, from my understanding, trying to push his own ideals onto the horde, despite the majority of the horde disagreeing, which culminated in the Siege of Orgrimmar. which also meant he became hella racist along the way, basically only seeing tauren as equals to orcs, because of their strength, every other horde race was 2nd class... or lower. also as i said in the other video, while using anything other than your body and the weapon you brought in the orcish honor-duel is cheating, the elements, i.e. the planet itself decided to answer thralls summon, because they hated garrosh. 27:40 fun fact: being super aggressive is actually *not* part of orcish culture. orcs are fierce warriors, but the individual tribes on draenor were actually pretty peaceful. they are basically comparable to native american tribes, where they have a warrior culture, some more than others, but in genral, are a peaceful people. ~ 37:00 its weird to me that they never combined these mission minigames with the "scenario" mini dungeons they had in pandaria, so sometimes, when the ship finishes its mission, you get prompted to join a single-players scenario that takes like 5 to 10min and gives you additional rewards. would be fun and make it more engaging. heck, they even had a kinda similar system in WoD with garrison invasions, but those were a pain to trigger and do, as fun as the idea itself was. 44:30 dont worry man, all good. anyone who follows streamers for a while knows they sometimes watch through OBS :-P also, man, that cutscene is fantastic. seeing it again just now reminded me of all the shi* that varian has been through and STILL he ultimately decided to trust the horde and chose peace, because his son showed him that its the correct thing to do. ...and then his son is tested on these very same convictions, even more than varian ever was. 1:06:00 this is a great example of the split storytelling between alliance and horde, because i _believe_ you initially dont learn about why the horde retreated as alliance (been a while, i might be wrong, but i think you learn the backstory eventually:) the glorious, combined assault by azeroths forces went right into the legions trap, the horde forces, still weakened from their civil war, were meant to support the alliances main force, but got ambushed by a legion portal in their back. sylvanas got a direct order from her warchief, to ensure survival of the horde and so she did. absolutely 0 blame on her in this situation. also varian was one of the biggest chads to ever walk the planet, next to grommash hellscream and a select few others. 1:14:10 again, the mixing is the fault of the person recording, because these actual ingame cutscenes use your ingame volume settings, so that guy had voices turned way down and music way up. i assume whoever put this video together just grabbed these cutscenes from around the net (and didnt normalize volume, because people that dont work in audio never do) i love that literally no one could remember that hyper HD gul'dan cutscene, but we all know its not from the movie, lmao. 1:21:13 there is a bunch of stuff missing which causes the airship to go down. pretty sure its ingame cutscenes that take your characters control away from you... but its not lore relevant. man, the ysera (the big dragon) cutscene still makes me tear up a bit. my first and favorite character is a NElf, ysera is kind of a matron of "my people" and shes only ever been good to all mortal races... only for us having to have to kill her. but at least elune, my peoples goddess, took her favored child home. sorry again for the wall of text :-p i really enjoy watching someone looking at the game and its story itself with an open mind and being free of bias, because seeing the vast majority of online discourse around it for the last several years is really disheartening, when the game itself is still good and fun to play and the story, all in all, is still interesting and this doesnt even account for all the smaller, wonderful sub-stories you encounter in your adventure that make the world truly come to life.

7:14 Min.: Yrel. The reason why i love Draenei that much. I kinda missing her... :( I hope we see her again soon. Its 1 of my absolutly Favorit Characters in whole warcraft :D

The thing with the horde is once a Warchief is in a leadership position there is not much that can be done. You can try and plead your case but otherwise you're kind of out of luck. The previous leader of the Tauren Cairne Bloodhoof actually challenged Mak'gorra to Garrosh. Cairne was beating Garrosh soundly until he got hit by Gorehowl. Unknown to Garrosh a Grimtotem tauren, sworn enemy of Thunderbluff and the Bloodhoof's, put a poison on his axe. Thus Cairne ended up dying in the challenge. Baine was pissed, but he understood that Garrosh didn't cheat, and was sabotaged. Thus he fell in line with Garrosh regardless of his feelings, knowing that he couldn't beat Garrosh in combat.

I actually found your videos tonight and I just finished watching the other 2 WoW cinematic videos right before this one went up. Love your thoughts on them. Hope you enjoy the game!

hell yeah, WoW Music Streams would be more chill than Icecrown itself, sign me up for that. btw forgot to mention, but since it came up, Dragonflight in August/September will be an expansion that you can level in from 10-70, it will in fact also be the new player experience, so if you hadnt touched Retail yet, you'll have a great time there soon, if you wait that long.

58:04 Min.: 100 Points for the guy in the Black Shirt :D XD Yeah THIS was also Medivh :D

If you do music reactions, definitely react to the music from Nazjatar, Wintergrasp, and Grizzly Hills. Some of the best music they have.

I love how Medivh says Khadgar looks terrible as if he isn't the reason the man aged 50 years XD

Illidan was originally dead after the burning crusade expansion in 2007. He came back almost 10 years later real time in the legion expansion

Bro when Ysera died and Elune took her spirit I was A MESS 😭😭😭

That full graphics overhaul that your talking about around the 3min marker near the beginning of the video is actual in process as we speak. Blizz talked about it during blizzcon, they will never do a WoW 2, especially after the overwatch 2 fiasco.

Just to clear up the confusion, Thrall did not cheat. The "no magic in mak'gora" rule is a movie-only thing.

The problem with the Garrosh stuff is that by this point he had already done so many bad things. I can't list them but they do list them in the War Crimes novel which is about his trial (before he goes back in time to this alternate Draenor and starts the Iron Horde). He says he regrets nothing, and he's kind of beyond redemption at this point (to most people). They took a cool character that could have gone somewhere and hit him with the villain bat. By the end, he just needed to go, he had done/caused too much harm.

1:20:00 Illidan is NOT in the movie. It is 100% from the game. No ifs ands or buts. Gul'Dan took Illidan's body as a vassal for Sargeras. It is explained in the Raid where Gul'Dan dies as we stop the ritual & Illidan's soul goes back into his body then disenchanting Gul'Dan as he did Varian.

Liam also plays Gaara

1:06:04 Min.: And now you see the Horde Version and what REALY happens top there. If you ONLY see the Alli Version of it the Horde looks realy badly but the Horde Version adds more reasoning to it ^^

The scene were Varian (and Voljin) dies, the Alliance and some player may think that this was lost because Sylvanas ordering retreat, but it was lost anyway: there was simply no way to win this battle. That's how real battles are. Real battles don't have plot armor and dramatic moments to just turn around things. You just die. That's it. You can changa outcome by using good tactics and strategy vs bad ones, but in the end, there is only so much you can chance Sad enough, people are so used to (badly written) fictional hero stories, that they even think that real life works that way, what you see when it comes to real wars. They treat it like a video game and then think that something like for example in FF14 would be even close to possible. In RL if you for example got some ultra high tech, continent sized nation like Garlemald and you got go war with it, you just get obliterated. And they wouldn't even have to put much effort into it. They got hypersonic(! - that's ~6000+ km/h) bomber, some of them as big as a small city, which got cannons that can fire small nukes. Even just crashing one of the smaller ships into one of the Eorzan towns with that speed would obliterate the town just by the impact of the crash. How do 'we' win in FF14? Well, the 'bad guys' simply never do anything, we simply win by plot armor. And then some people think that this is how things work in general.

The most easy and fast way to power for a mortal is to serve a cosmic force - but in general this pretty much always comes with becoming a pawn in one way or another of that cosmic force. WoW lore and story is full of people who chose the easy path - what includes Medivh - thinking that they could be the one in control, but all of them failed. Khadgar learned that well: there is no easy and fast way to such power and whoever promisses it, is a liar and wants to manipulate you into servitude.

25:28 Thrall didnt use magic. He just manipulate, control and got a little help from da elements moohn. Cause hes one with da nature u know

The next cutscenes (illidan, Argus cutscenes and the Antorus finale) are the most important and impactful ones so far. Specifically the Antorus finale. The context of Antorus is you're fighting the legion on their homeworld and killing their leadership in the one place they can actually die without respawning, while trying to free the souls of the dead Titan gods and stop Sargeras, the lord of the Burning Legion and the last living Titan, from destroying Azeroth. For context of what the Titans even are, they're the closest thing to a true "god" you can get. A weakened prematurely born baby Titan is a threat to the whole universe, and Sargeras, the most powerful Titan and the one who killed the others, has been destroying the multiverse across every timeline with his infinite demon army. Titans are like the Marvel Celestials that incubate inside planets and emerge as gods when they're born. Argus is the homeworld of the Draenei, and has a Titan soul inside it. Sargeras has been using the world-soul in Argus to instantly respawn his trillions of demons whenever they die, making his army infinite. Argus is basically a tortured baby being used like a battery. Sargeras wants to destroy Azeroth because it has an unborn Titan soul inside it strong enough to rival him. So far Sargeras has killed, used like a battery, or gave an abortion to every other known Titan except Azeroth. The reason WHY Sargeras is ending the multiverse and killed all the other Titans is because he found out about the Void, the infinitely hungering space beyond creation that wants to end all things. He found out when he came across an unborn Titan world-soul being corrupted by eldritch horrors called Old Gods, which are creations of the Void. A Void-powered Titan would be the most powerful being in existence and end the multiverse immediately, leaving dead space and entropy for eternity. His solution was to purge the multiverse of all life and all other Titans, so he could start everything from scratch and create a new healthy universe he could monitor closely and ensure there's no chance of a Void Titan being made. He's actually killed a few unborn Void Titans with the Legion, so Sargeras saved the universe a lot. The issue is the OTHER Titans found Azeroth at the same time Sargeras learned about the Void. Just like the world-soul Sargeras found, Azeroth was infested with void horrors slowly corrupting her. Instead of of killing the unborn Azeroth, the Titan pantheon found a way to contain the corruption and realized Azeroth might be the strongest Titan capable of defending the universe against the Void once she was born. When they met back up with Sargeras, they had a "disagreement" on how to handle the situation, and Sargeras killed them all since he couldn't convince them of his plan. Admittedly, his plan is the only way to guarantee the Void loses and the multiverse stays safe. The problem is nobody really knows the true danger of the Void except the Titans, the Legion, and people directly involved with the Void. Also Sargeras never reached Azeroth to destroy her because he just didn't know where it was in physical space, since it's one planet across the whole universe. He had to rely on small portals to send his armies or small avatars through, until Legion when they found its actual location after getting an army on the planet and were then able to send spaceships over, and eventually Sargeras himself. For reference to the Titan/Void stuff on Azeroth.... the largest city on the planet is called Ulduar. It's a monolithic bastion everyone thought was a city for the Titans servants, guarded beyond belief with the most advanced technology anyone had seen and inhabited by the defacto most powerful beings on the planet, that the Titans themselves created to keep Azeroth safe. Everybody THOUGHT Ulduar was a city. It was actually one big prison for an Old God named Yogg'saron. Almost all the Titan Keepers(demigods created by the Titans) and the titanforged armies stationed at ulduar used it as a seat of power on the planet, but were mainly there to made sure Yogg'saron didn't escape. There were 4 Old Gods in total, created by the Void Lords to corrupt unborn titans. Y'shaarj was the most powerful and the Titan Aman'thul ripped the Old God out of the planets crust when they first arrived, which created a huge scar in the planet and almost killed the world-soul. The Titans couldn't kill the Old Gods without killing the soul of Azeroth since the Old Gods influence spread too deep, so the remaining 3 (Yogg'Saron, C'thun and N'zoth) were imprisoned. All the Titanforged demigods called Keepers and the armies the Keepers were given were made to fight the Old Gods on the ground and imprison them. -N'zoth was the weakest and the first to fall, but he was the most clever and was the only Old God to fully escape later on. -C'thun was the least clever, but had enough brute force and big enough armies to give the Titan Keepers trouble. -Yogg'saron was the most powerful of the three Old Gods, and had the wits to match N'zoth.

Honestly dude, I love seeing you react to the cutscenes, it makes me relive the first time I saw these as a hard core 16+ year veteran of WoW. The nostalgia hits hard

ah... 14:30 ish.. the moment WoW became babylon 5. In Valen's name.

16:40 Min.: WoW have great themas. So why not! :D

1:20:30 You are in no more danger with clips from the movie than you are with watching a six hour long video of every cinematic of the Warcraft franchise lol.

You skip from WoD frostfire ridge cute scene one of most epic 😢

yeah...glowy eyes are sort of a kink in Blizzard 😀 Also I was always Horde main, and I don't think there is ANYONE in Horde who would not REspect Varian - he was embodiment of Horde Honor Ysera's death scene left me broken back then. I main Druid and I was always loved Ysera and Green Flight. The fact that they resurected her in Shadowlands was really hard for me. On one had I was extremely happy to see her again, on the other...It felt kinda like a poor plot device (whitch I still think it was)

Garrosh was forced to take leadership and responsability at the worst time of the hordes history. They had no food, unfarmable land and no one was willing to trade with them. His advisors constantly bickered with him and had no solutions. Garrosh told thrall he was a warrior not a warchief and pleaded not to give him the title.

You look like a young Keith Lee :)

You Gotto watch the WoW movie it has all your favorite Orcs. Doomhammer, Durotar and Gul’dan

Originally Illidan did die but they retconned it because people love him

Amazing

27:30 Saw someone in your chat mention it. Yeah sure, Thrall left behind Vol'jin and Cairne to give Garrosh guidance. But they near immediately refused to actually provide that guidance. The whole thing was written terribly, with the only shining light being how Garrosh was represented in Stonetalon Mountains AND how he was represented in Silverpine Forest.

yeah, WoW is addictive like that, hence why i am taking a break before The War Within, as i'll be in no-life mode when it comes out. btw some fans want the game to be remade in Unreal Engine 5, but Blizzard has had a standard about keeping Low-End PCs capable of playing WoW, which is why the game looks more stylish than realistic, it's an intentional choice.

15:38 Min.: Go in the Grizzle Hills and turn the Volune of the Music at max. thank me later :P

1:28:06 Min.: I sarch for a video of the 4th reaction but its seams you dont make it now. Will it came soon? Because i have realy enjoi those reactions and seening you enjoiing the videos form WoW :D Its makes me happy to see you enjoiing your self that much :D Have a wonderfully day and ceap do what you enjoi man :D

where is part 4

yay! more WOW

can't find the vod

welcome to wow and ill help out as much as i can if u want to play:)

Иллидан где-то здесь.

The people sayin' thrall cheated don't know how the damn challenge even works. Unless specified BEFORE the fight, nothing is off limits. Each one has it's own rules, if any are even decided upon. Garrosh nor thrall never ruled out the use of magic. Fuckin' Warcraft movies ruined people's idea of what the Mak'gora even is.

as much as I hated the endgame content of WoD I gotta say it is to this day the expansion with the best story leveling experience

please react more cutsence and more platinum wow :D

u wanna play ill be here to help u:)

Please react to the harbringers animation from Warlords of draenor

come to classic wow

finally i thought u gave up on WoW

garrosh did a LOT wrong. those claiming otherwise are either attempting satire, or being wilfully ignorant. everything he did, after becoming warchief, was for garrosh, and garrosh's power. power corrupts, and garrosh had a HUGE chip on his shoulder. still think Saurfang would have made a better choice, but thrall felt guilty for not saving grommash, and felt he owed garrosh due to the debt he felt towards his father. dumb reason to make him warchief? yeah.. but other than the normal hellscream rage, garrosh hadn't shown his true colours until he got power.

garrosh really did nothing wrong, the night elves were refusing diplomatic trade during cataclysm, the mak'gora he did with cairne magtha grimtotem poisoned gorehowl to assassinate cairne and have the grimtotem tribe take over thunder bluff, theramore bombing, he staged the offensive outside of theramore for days giving more than enough time for civilians to evacuate and more troops get there for him to destroy it. only thing garrosh did wrong was use y'sharjj's heart for more power

So bud when are you gonna be coming to wow and when are you gonna let me run you through keys and raids while we both stream???? Hmmmmm hmmmmm nudge nudge

1:21:20 lmao what kind of "fans" you got in your chat that don't know the movie was the beginning of the Warcraft and not part way through many expansions?

comments just casually acting like fools hating on the horde lol. comments L

I love how Demon Hunters gouge their eyes out to get even better sight and then call it "sacrifice".

The most powerful peopel in WoW are all NPC - what is important, because it would make zero sense if the armies of player characters would be so powerful, even more because they simply can't die, be corrupted, fall and so on. If you take FF14 - as a player you even MUST ignore the whole story and your playercharacter in it as soon as you talk to other players, because you would have that spiderman meme - with thousands of spidermen pointing at each other. It overall doesn't work at all to make the player character super special in MMORPGs. Even less when you don't put in the effort to give any kind of choice. You are super special - but still must do what others demand from you? Why? Why are you forced to follow the Scions who only lie to you and exploit you with their insane plans? Why are you forced to serve warmongers like the Eorzans warlords with their insanity and unwillingness to even form a working nation and do nothing about all the problems they just throw you at to temporarerly murder them? Why are you forced to serve a false god who is really just a genocidal maniac that killed and distorted all life on your planet, including yourself? If you are one of many, just a soldier, it's one thing when you have to go along with this. But if you are the ultra chosen one who is the only solution to everything, there is ZERO reason to be so powerless. After HW it became worse and worse and you are not only forced in one as stupid as murderous plans after another, but always nod and smile to it. FF14 is one of the few stories that made me hate my own character - or better what the developers forced her to be. I wouldn't have killed the Scions - but I would never helped them. Minfilia gave a reason in the beginning, to learn about the primals and find a solution (so... what Garlemald tries to to do the whole time). But after Minfilia gone (and hell, no one ever questions this, while it is super fucked up, that that thing just orders her to finish herself off to become a sock puppet), what was left of the Scions was just a bunch of crazy warmongers full of themselves and the sole reason their plans didn't just kill everyone but themselves was that it is a fictional story and the writers just decide for it to work anyway - mostly by making tha antagonists stupid and by just dedicing that driving full speed against a wall will created a cake instead of a crash.

ppl how are crying about alliance king and saying this is why horde don't like horde's any more are clueless. The alliance open the dark portal Medihv and nighelf..
