[Spoiler] The Return of Hope: Kul Tiras 

AGREED

This was the single best part of BfA tbh. Whatever they did to get this story right, they should do the same with the main story.

the Alliance always gets the best cinematics

The Kul'Tiras/Jaina story arc is one of the best things wow ever did.

they did prirate of the caribbeans

YES! Why is this comment so low? Loved this reference

i see you're a man of culture aswell!

That was my thought as well :P

Matthew Goodrick she is a corrupt businesswoman... The big difference between her and Cutler thou is she is the one taking orders from fish people!

Exactly where they got it from

Tandred looks extremely macho, 9/10 men would love to look like that

Actually it was Chris Metzen who said he wasn't canon

9/10 women would love to look at that~ =p

Copied from another video of this Cinematic, good try tho.

*canonical

It is similar theme melody when pippin sings while faramir charges

Not to be rude, but that is not it. That little melody is part of a lullaby that used to be sung to her as a child, but when she got her father killed at Theramore for backing up Thrall, Kul Tiras changed the lyrics slightly and used it as a way to mock/spite her. So her humming it here, is kind of a way for her to say "Look at me now/I've changed" basically.

I see you two are a fan of Dead Space.

@@dreadninja7210 Agreed, the way this song changes meaning over the course of the expansion is one of my favourite things

"POP GOES THE WORGEN"

She must lead the Alliance the way she does it in WC3...

In truth she always did, but the Alliance has not always shown appreciation for that.

@@noctusowl Because Jaina's way is too Risky towards the Horde

@@silvergiovanni5336 Up to MoP it wasn't. But writers gave the Alliance deaf ears and blind eyes. And made the Horde bomb her city. Jaina was going to be the Mary Sue but since most faction warriors are Horde it proved overly unpopular so the writers steered towards Sylvannas instead. They had to leave Jaina cooling down for most of 2 Xpacs.

Sadly you're right.

Would have been better with the bit of dialogue though.

Chills....chills...

Possibly the best-timed bass drop in all WoW cinematics, without irony.

Any idea of how the soundtrack is called ?

@@vgross0811 It's definitely up there, but the bass drop that came with "I AM A GOD!!!" from Azshara's warbringer short was also pretty epic.

@@ghicarares I would like to know too

Looks like Sylvanas has a new target to burn

can't she ?

You cannot burn ice

But you can burn a human who creates ice

you can't, because Anduin has a mass resurrection

Her ships were smaller and outnumbered, of course she wouldn't dare take them on in battle. That would be just plain stupide and suicidal.

Um no just no.....

Oh yeah they arrre

RIGHT?! All hands on deck, dammit

Got me clutching my pearls!🙈

Yaaaass

And as the pirates were successfully detained, Traitors of country, To the Horde she next set her sights: "Beware! Beware of me!"

Cringe...

@@Jedin8_1966 I mean so did Rastakhan, but you know...

very nice.

@@JustAChinesePleb It wasn't that bad, child.

I thought the same, the ending where the ship just blows up while the guy slowly walks into his doom. So awesome!

@@banescar He died awesome

It's just... good business...

kesselrunner ahahh beat me to it!

Yeah, i remembered that scene immediately :D

"Captain I dont know whats happening, please I dont wanna go"

It's all good lady Ashvane you have a sequel coming in patch 8.1 lol

She thicc

Frozen! She is not a firemage shes Ice.

@@MrFantocan Hey, just want to clear out, the heroes of Azeroth like Jaina, Varian, Thrall and the others can be considered a multispec character,meaning they can perform all the unique abilities of all their specs, but tend to have an edge for a certain one. For example Jaina can use Arcane, Frost and Fire, but prefers Frost over others. Khadgar has the same thing but for the Arcane. Varian can " switch his spec" on fly by just spliting Shalamayne, Thrall can throw around lava and split skulls with Doomhammer etc

She will never be at peace. But now she has an anchor to hold on. the metaphor couldnt be more on the nose

@@AndereundIch beautiful ❤

@@AndereundIch You can find peace through redemption.

Jaina: "Awaken my Fleet" *AYYAYYAYYAYYYAAAA*

FOR KUL'TIRAS!!

my favorite cinematic was the one with sylvanas going full banshee and yelling "FOR THE HORDE!" as a horde player whose interest in the game was dwindling it literally re-ignited my love for the game and my horde pride

blood and flesh

@@NishiTheRat Yes, but that's not an in-game cinematic. This one is.

@@mukwoorusilverhair4283 now that ive seen this again, its just the Warpstorm ending, from 40k. Not only did blizzard steal and butcher the entire IP of Warhammer, they cant even do anything themselves years after that. Kind of funny with the current situation

What's name plz

Laura Bailey(the voice actress) is amazing!

@@ProvidenceNL Is she the voice actress for Jaina since the beginning ?

Isnt it who called in the fleet?

yes but since Jaina teleported them it would be summoned

Battlecruiser operational!

only Jaina didnt Summon the Fleet. she basically destroyed the mist that kept the fleet trapped.

Nothing like an old amulet that summons a fleet of WC3 FT battleships.

That was a good thought and an outstanding analysis, but you're overclassing them. The mainstay of the Kul Tiran fleet are frigates. Granted, they still have massive firepower over any other ship (save the Iron Horde's dreadnoughts), but not quite so much as a Ship of the Line. Which DOES exist in the game... in Lord Admiral Daelin Proudmoore's ship that Jaina raised from the depths. For added similarities to actual Tall Ships, the Alliance and Forsaken sail galleons, the Night Elves sail a kind of modified fluyt, and Ashvane's ships (the continent ferry ships) are brigantines. Each of Ashvane's ships had 8 guns. Every Kul Tiran ship carried 24. That's 3:1 per ship match-up... you know, if the total number of ships had been equal for each side. Ashvane had a dozen. Tandred had 30+. The total gun disparity was something stupid like 8.5:1, and that's not even factoring in cannon tonnage. Tactically, the Kul Tirans were coming in from behind and flanking, with the winds at their backs, and could have easily turned and bombarded Ashvane's fleet with constant raking broadsides, with little to no chance for return fire before at least half the Kul Tiran fleet had sent a full broadside. Basically, in about 2 minutes, most (if not all) of Ashvane's fleet would have been sunk or floundered without having gotten a shot off.

@@rcslyman8929 do remember that in wow everything is far scaled down. Its why a town like goldshire lorewise has a population of 800 but in game is an inn and a blacksmith. Or the fact that clearly in game the farms of elwyn forest arent Nearly big enough to support a city like stormwind...because lorewise there are a lot more abd are larger. As is stormind supposed to be far larger So given that in game they clearly designed the big ships off ships of the line (note the 2 gun decks. Note also that a standard frigate if it had a 2nd gun deck also qualified even if the number of guns remained the same)lore wise youd use that for your comparison rather than the specs of your average frigate. And daelin proudmoores flagship is of the same class of ship as the rest, though seemingly an older model as the bow of the ship is armored, more angled upwards and several other small differences I dont believe they are supposed to be First Rate Ship of the Lines, as those were extremely rare in real life but i do think they qualify as at the very least 3rd tier

@@ConnorNotyerbidness I do kind of take the scale down into account. 24 guns is rather light for armament on a frigate. However, I will give you that frigates only had a single gun deck lined along the hull, which the Kul Tiran ships are not (two gun decks). That does support your analysis that they are Ships of the Line, which would make the Proudmoore flagship a dreadnought on par with 1st Rate Ships of the Line like the HMS Victory. I still hold fast on the class comparisons for the other racial ships.

@@rcslyman8929 ill admit im no expert when it comes to sailing vessels in any shape or form. I only know so much about ships of the line due to me taking a personal interest in them specifically. I will counter though that there is ONE ship thatd outclass them all in firepower, including iron horde dreadnaughts...the defias juggernaut (which was based on the ogre juggernauts of the Second War) Assuming that thing is ALSO scaled down....for god sake in game its got some cannons thatd fire cannonballs the size of volkswagons! If its Also scaled down, think about what That would mean!

@@ConnorNotyerbidness Yeah, I took an interest in them due to a fascination with tall ships and the era of sails. "A Pirate Looks at 40"? Sums it up for me. The Orc Juggernaut definitely stood up to those ships, but it was an ungainly vessel. Obsiously in the RTS, they were evenly matched, but if you looked at them from a reality perspective, the Kul Tiran ships could sail laps around the Horde counterparts. The benefit that the orcs had was incredibly strong armor that would have been akin to the CSS Virginia, but with significantly more firepower. The Defias juggernaut had less armor, but was still just as ungainly from its size. And the final factor that separated the Kul Tiran ships was the tide sages that sailed on each ship. Tide sages ensured each ship had the advantage of the seas.

So far its a filler expansion in regard to features, gear quality, functioning trait/artifact systems, etc. Story should be the last thing they check off on the list, not the first. Gameplay > all

We don't fight just to survive, we fight for a better world with honer and peace. No the Alliance is an empire that fights for their view of Honor,, and their view of peace. and everything not following suit they'll crush as they tyrants that they truly are. Also no such thing as a filler expansion.

Yes, gameplay should be their first concern always, but a good story is required for us to have fun.

Who in their right minds thinks story should be the last concern in an RPG? A game literally all about story..?

The Spanish Inquisition well, you just answered your own question--"who in their right minds"? People who think gameplay trumps all need to go back to Call of Duty.

ikr want it too

Hopefully it gets nuked like Theramore :DD

@@Expax cause that is the only way horde can cause casualities

Hmmm what happened in Ashenvale then?

Until they find out she's a fangirl of the naga.

Both the Horde and Alliance have men in their ranks who can't use their brain. Both sides are equally terrible, so no one is the winner in this war.

I reckon Ashvane's fleet wouldn't last 5 minutes.

Did she grow up ? In what way ?

@@efaristi9737 Follow her story and you will see

She just became a raid boss. The final boss for the horde will be Jaina

@Ailee Georsua Nah she survives. Rastakhan dies though...but then again who didn't see that coming. At least he didn't die because he went insane. He went out defending his people. Not many better ways to go than that.

@@RyanEX2000 He did not die defending his people, he died because he was the Alliance target, his people died defending him, big difference.

hahahahhha a surrender flag

That is the French flag

it is time for the Horde to win again not only lose ;) so this is the Alliance flag :D

@@Peacemaker_Erthoran it's on buddy FOR THE ALLIANCE!

French allied race confirmed.

It's just... Good business. I wish ashbitch would say it

how?? what, all pirates all navy styled anything is suddenly pirates of the caribbean themed now? like theres just no pirates of that style before hand? google where the 'Yarrrg" pirate comes from. it goes back nearly a hundred years now in media.

while pirates existing long before the PotC movies, there are clear little nods to the actual movies. I mean, most pirate lore in real life doesnt involve magically summoning a fleet of ships from a fog bank with totem and singing.

Before Pirates of the Caribbean, there were Pirates of the Baltic. *The more you know*

It think she means the reference that Lady Ashvane gasps at the fleet, which is what Lord Beckett does in the movies right before he dies.

Making things appear out of nowhere is kind of what mages do...

@@user-uq4gr5nl5o You seem to mistake my tone for one of irritation. I love how silly awesome Jaina's "whatever the plot needs" ability is. [Summon Fleet] must be from the same Boatamancy spec as [Flying Arcane Broadside]. :D

I still don't see how it is silly. Like I said, that's what they do.

Jackknife Literally the story of stormsong valley, shrine of the storm and established lore of kul tiras. Like just what we learned in stormsong valley and shrine of the storm could explain this with tidesage magic in the amulet...

Jackknife cough Khadgar

FOR THE ALLIANCE!!!

Oh say something original please. Beside embracing tribalism

FOR THE PANDARIA?

panderen didnt even help in legion expansion. why would you boast for them?

In other words... For the Alliance.

True. Zandalar is down while Kul Tiras is at full strengh. Just kidding man. In RF the Alliance would have won after MoP.

Beefcake of the Sea! ^_^

Was searching for this comment

Josh_h519 do the quest in Kul Tiras

@Josh_h519, you, Tailia and Flynn find out that Ashvane has being bankrolling pirates (led by Harlan Sweete, last boss in Freehold) in an effort to make Katharine give her leadership of Kul'Tiras. You expose Ashvane and she is forced to flee.

@@prima164 priests ain't bad. Roll shadow and u will be fine

@@prima164 just play and u will be fine....

Of course she knew she was f***ed. She's got a dozen 8-gun brigantines. 30some 24-gun, 3-masted frigates appeared out of nowhere like an Un'Goro T-rex and immediately had that small fleet outflanked and encircled. Azurite powder or no, those ships were going down with two good broadsides apiece, and they were already outmanned 2.5:1, outgunned nearly 8:1. Against those odds, yeah... I'd be calling for my brown trousers, too.

For the Alliance!

Storywise or gameplay? I'd say Legion was the best storywise so far, BfA has only just started but it's not as good as Legions start. Gameplaywise I'd say it's the 5th best after Legion, TBC, MoP and WoD.

Wrath of the lich king imo is the best in every aspect.

Legion all the way!

Vanilla was the best xpac and it’s not even arguable

Sooooo hot. 😍😍

I want the Warcraft 3 one back shes more heater than the sun

Missi10 her bleached hair makes her look old

While yes Jaina is really nice and all, I'm swooning so much over her younger brother Tandred. *swoon* I just can't help it :3

Axel J Miller I think she should look way older considering that she's just a human and she were in WC3. Unless some magic makes her younger.
