World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Soundtrack (Patch 5.1) - Jaina Homeland Composer: Russell Brower, Neal Acree, Jeremy Soule, Sam Cardon, Edo Guidotti
Jaina had harsh time but eventually had happy ending of her long story of unfair treatings. I also agree that bfa storyline sucks, but Jaina's story was very impressive.. also praiseworthy ending.
BfA did suck ass, but goddamn did the Jaina storyline stick out as the diamond in the rough. One of the few great things that the Alliance got this expac.
This hit home. I started playing back in 2007 when I was trying to impress my boyfriend by playing his favourite game - I've always been a Nintendo gamer, so I wasn't much into MMORPGs. What I started to do in order to impress him, I kept doing because our guild was amazing, the game was fun and I genuinely enjoyed playing with my paladin. Then we stopped playing after Mists of Pandaria came out, our guild just fragmented and now it has been over 10 years I haven't played WOW. We still play the D&D wow cenario, but it's not the same as the feeling we had back then. As for my then boyfriend, we've been married for 11 years now after a few years of dating, so I guess I should thank this game for that.
"Homeland" is the one I pull on when I find myself thinking of my father, whom I lost too suddenly in August last year. To My Loving Father, You are a beacon of unconditional love, compassion, curiosity, and persistence. Though I will miss you dearly, you travel with me always. Your son, Matthew
@@strontius9887 It's been two years yesterday. The words I wrote were written on a Washington DC postcard i never had the opportunity to give him as he died before I could give it to him. I'm truly touched you've come back to this.
Neither did I! And I heard from someone that the original theme even existed back in classic, but obviously here it's been remastered with other instrumentals etc.
www.wowhead.com/item=166702/proudmoore-music-box Close to what OP wanted (yes, pardon the necro), this toy plays "Daughter of the Sea" from Jaina's Warbringer cinematic.
Most underrated track in the game. I always think back to hearing it for the first time during the Purge of Dalaran questline! EDIT: lol, turns out I already commented on this one seven years ago. I guess I was right-- it really does demand to be remembered!
Underrated? Really? Is it not one of the easiest remembered theme of WoW? Jaina is a regular and important character, her theme has been declined in many variations, especially Wolf at the gates for the battle theme of the Alliance during WoD, and the Purge or the Thunder Isle for those who have been here during the 5.1 and 5.2 plays this track. Characters theme are generally easily remember tho, Invincible or Anduin's theme are good examples of that.
13,000 survivors of the scourge of Lordaeron who fled west to the lands of Kalimdor, settling in Theramore and living peacefully, only to succumb to the destructive shockwave of a Blood Elf/Goblin mana bomb, cry out from their graves...
My favorite song from the MoP soundtrack so far, right up there with the Lion's Landing music. So beautiful,the kind of thing that really demands to be remembered.
@@TheToneBender this aged really well turns out the horde are still just genocidal dickheads who always blame somebody else and literally nothing changed
Quit wow after cataclysm, then came back for pre-patch BFA and did the story line for Jaina. Wow, so the Jaina music I hear in BFA is actually from here. Amazing.
@@cleareyedliar This one really, really makes me cry too. Stormsong Valley theme is very moving for me too, but this one ALWAYS brings out the tears for some reason. I'm not even attached to Jaina, it's just the music.
well at least now the heroes are getting resurrected. back then in warcraft no hero passed 1 game. hellscream was famous for lasting from war2 to war3 the only charactor that lasted more than 1 game. i guess now with world of warcraft and its expansions they finally advanced the lore ( didnt really play much WoW i stopped at burning crusade)
damunzta Let me ask you something: How would you feel if a power-hungry tyrant, for reasons serving only himself, dropped a devastating weapon on your city thus killing almost everyone in it and crystalizing the dead like obscene statues? How would you feel if, when trying to recover your apprentice's broken body, she shatters into purple arcane sands? How would you feel when you learned a good many of the enemy were DANCING IN THE STREETS OF ORGRIMMAR over the mass slaughter of your people? If ahything, by virtue of the fact that she DIDN'T choose to drown Orgrimmar and everybody in it when she could have, I would say Jaina is not a warmonger. Even during the betrayal by the Sunreavers and the Purge of Dalaran, she showed remarkable restraint; she could have ordered all the blood elves executed as traitors but instead opted to imprison them, and she only raised her hand against those who refused to surrender their weapons. Perfect, certainly not... but put yourself in her position, and you'll see that the Jaina you remember is still there... but she is simply hurt and angry. Very angry.
AquaticSoda Jaina might not have drowned Orgrimmar, but she wanted Varian to dismantle the Horde when he had the chance to do so. I get her angle, I do, but the implication of doing so would have been war with the other Horde races until they surrendered. How many would die in that fighting - on both sides? Sure she's hurt, sure her anger isn't unfounded, but she's got a wantin' for some bloodshed at this point. Either that or she's extremely shortsighted when advising Varian.
damunzta I think she felt cheated, I will agree to that much; who can blame her though if she's not going to be buddy-buddy with the Horde for a long time, though? They blew up Theramore and everyone in it, and effectively danced on the ashes. But at the same time, I don't think Jaina would be merciless or filled with bloodlust; that she walked away from the confrontation with Lor'themar speaks volumes to the fact that the "old" Jaina is still there. Were she a true warmonger, I think she would have ignored Taran Zhu's booming scorn. And if anything... I think Varian made the hard choice in not complying with her wishes; the one that had to be made. He knew the Horde would fight right down to the last man, woman and child; either that, or the fighting would reach a surrender, the Horde races would eventually tire of having human rule and customs forced upon them, and the whole cycle of hatred would begin again with the children and grandchildren of our characters, assuming they aren't around or able. If anything, he has cleverly placed the entirety of the responsibility in Vol'jin's hands; and considering the battered, shambled state the Horde is in right now, I think the Darkspear Warchief will VERY WISELY keep the Horde in line and comply, especially considering there is nothing stopping the Alliance from coming down on the Horde like a ten-ton hammer, halted only by order of the King of Stormwind. And considering how he moved with his body language in the underground throne room, I think Varian is more than willing to act on his proclamation should Vol'jin fail to keep the Horde in line.
A lot of these WoW music channels just lazily copy paste the same composer list on every description.. Very annoying. And yes, Jason is the composer for this.
Pandaria was legit the expansion that started the connected storylines throughout the future expansions, before that the story felt like it was disconnected, classic was the start then somehow randomly kazzak opened the portal for tbc then after that randomly the LK woke up then after that randomly DW emerged from his hiding and then for some reason the horde and alliance found pandas and their lands but after that cuz of Garrosh's trial WoD happened, cuz of WoD legion happened, cuz of legion BfA happened and then at the end of it shadowlands happened
I hope Kalecgos helps her rest her soul and heart from all the pains she had to endure. Perhaps she'll heal in time, that's what Go'el told her though; a mate is necessary, for all of us, they help us heal inside. Here's hoping things will turn alright in the end and she gets back to her pacifist habits.
My opinion on her is neutral right now. I am firmly Horde. But I understand what pain (and a powerful arcane blast) can do to one's mind. For now my stance is. "Let's kill that bitch and finish it."
des9808 Honestly, they're more likely to do that with Sylvanas. Her mental stability is wavering after Vereesa left her, and she's already done some pretty evil things.
Based off this comment I can tell you only play one faction. Doing so only limits yourself if you truly care about the storyline. That said the alliance has done just as much evil as the horde so saying the horde will pay this truly means nothing.
do they still play this in mage quarters ? if they do. im never gonna leave that place. all my love to you. Jaina the one and only. i wish the best for u in future x-pacs ;-;
***** oh man. ive only done that one one char. and its so long ago. how do i do that? and at the same time i dont want to, cuz i love to makre a protal there to see jaina
Jaina stays so strong, she lost everyting...her lover (Arthas) and her dad! and she now has tons of responsibilty to keep Human survive after undead! so emotional after playing this song!
I get the feeling Jaina will use the return to Draenor as a chance to end the Horde before it ever began, perhaps obliterating the Warlords individually, calling a summoning of the clans and then setting them ablaze, or something of the sort.
It's extremely sad to see how far Jaina has fallen, all thanks to Garrosh pushing her over the edge. She's even turned her back on her friend Thrall. Now she's just like her father, hopefully she won't die like her father...
Quit in pandaria. I have a bit of a hate relationship with blizzard. But will always appreciate this last piece of masterpiece from My journey in WoW. The melody is so perfect for me, I feel it personally, it’s almost like I came up with It or I have listened to something similar as from my childhood.
BFA may have not been great but i came back during it and made some shit happen mounts i never thought i would have EVER new guildmates raiding with them pvping in the world with them on coms having stupid fun. getting my netherwing drake doing the endgame vision zones and coming out with the ivory cloud and drake of the north winds. and beating nzoth (and much more) Memories were made looking forward to the new start
@@donmecayustasi "Gothic3 - Vista Point" and "Gothic3 - Vanguard Theme" was on my radar~ but its different. I am not strong enough to dig thro entire SKyrim soundtrack to search for similiarities ;)
Jesi Frostwhisper i played gothic 1 and 2 but not 3 :( and some of pandaria's soundtracks are composed by jeremy soule (same guy who composed skyrim's soundtrack)
I know what you mean, but unfortunately I still can't seem to recognise what other game I heard it in. Maybe one time I will get a light bulb above me head
She founded her own kingdom long time ago, it was another part of both kul tirans with jainas view and some survivors from lordaeron with the help of the Alliance, it actually was a great kingdom and the biggest Alliance stronghold on kalimdor, horde many times struggled to even reach the Gates, they couldnt so they threw a mana bomb on it, it was Theramore, a City She founded Just to find a way to communicate with the horde and being peace to azeroth. That meant She abandoned her family and homeland being a banit for a long time untill now
@@aramis957 Well.. damn.. the way you told it.. i sure feel old now.. I remember the pre patch of Mists of Pandaria.. as i did not pay attention to wowhead.. but i heard there was a playable scenario out.. my heart sank to the bottom when i realized what it was.. and i have never forgotten.
For the Scourge! Death to the alliance and horde. Both are corrupt and both are nothing. Death to them all. Man, woman or child, all will be crushed under the heel of the Scourges might.
Ive always hated Jaina as alliance, and also does now as horde. Idk if its the bad writing or the character itself tho. One thing shure this theme, no matter the xpac, was and will always be beautiful.
I like how everyone is calling her a crazy bitch or something like that. When infact she is following the same path as Arthas did. Arthas was liked by many of the fans. Why do they dislike Jaina? Is it because she is a female character? Or because her story is developed in an MMO?
Because she's taking a much darker path than Arthas. Arthas had noble intentions but was ultimately corrupted by a greater evil, thus turning a champion of the Light into an unholy tyrant. Jaina, on the other hand, is the ruler of Dalaran, a place where, if you played during WotLK, you probably spent a lot of time. People grew close to Jaina, and when she went crazy with revenge after Theramore's destruction, many thought she should just get revenge against Garrosh, but she decided to develop a devoted hatred of the Horde, which is fairly obvious. Now, Jaina rules Dalaran with a purple glove draped over an iron fist.
"She's taking a much darker path than Arthas." I disagree. She simply hates the enemy forces with a passion. She doesn't kill her own people or burn their ships so they can't return home to their family and then blame the mercenaries and kill them.
She isn't 'crazy'. She's just a determined leader with severe PTSD whose philosophy of peace and understanding failed to save the people she loved. I don't think people hate her now because she's a woman--those same haters loved her before. They don't like it because in the course of a single book, she did a 360 from 'peace-lover' to 'kill those motherfuckers'. Some people don't like change, no matter how well-executed it may be.
