Thank you SO much for sharing these wonderful-epictastic soundtracks with us. Legion is probably your BEST work so far. My expectations of the soundtrack have been blown away than any other expansion. Keep up the good work Neal! Also, guys please subscribe to Neal's channel and check out his soundtracks that haven't been released!
Guys from 14:35 or so, isnt that part from an existing wow song? I mean like they mixed and existing one with new music. if so could somebody please tell me it's name. thanks
yes, This theme inspires... You can almost séé Anduin in a 1 on 1 face-off against Sargeras himself (Broxigar looks with pride!). The forces of the Alliance and Horde clashing with the demon hordes just behing them, when Grommash Hellscream, Vanguard-Commander of Azeroth, suddenly catches a glimpse of the legendary face-off of the High King against the Titan Overlord of the Legion himself..... In this inspirational moment, Grommash unleashes a ravaging Bladestorm that kills off dózens of demons and pitlords around him whilst he bellows from the bottom of his chest 'My brethren! Today is the day we define our Dawn!....... Lok'tar.... O'gar........ TO THE KIIIIIIING!!!!".....
Would be pretty cool if at some point he gets old and leaves Stormwind to leave a life of peace and you could find him in a remote place like Wetlands or something off the grid in a small house living the simple life.
you dont know why? MAYBE BECAUSE THAT WAS THE EXCAT FUCKING POINT HE WAS TRYING TO CONVEY BY SAYING THAT ROLEPLAY LINE?! jesus christ...i dont have patience for people like you.. you know when you pretend to be an idiot and expect others to believe you it makes you seem like a patronizing egghead i mean come on...did you seriously think that Brother Tancred thought an animated figure in SW was his king? he was obviously roleplaying so dont pretend like you didnt get that god damn it
my father passed away a couple months ago, he fight even in his last breath. he was a warrior who tought me many things: strenght, discipline, enjoy the little things and learn everything of the world. this music I heard firts time in the online comics of Anduin, and give me hope that my father is finally resting in peace. miss you dad, I will take care of the family.
When I first discovered this song I immediately showed my mom who shares similar taste in music. She loved it so much, unfortunately that was the last opportunity I had to share music with her.. so this song has a special place in my heart. she passed away shortly after. Rest well mother you will be missed.
Every time I hear to this beautiful song, it remind me of my father who died fighting germs infection in his lungs one years before this song uploaded here. Ngl I cried sometimes hearing to this song. He is my Varian to me after all. May he rest well there.
Farewell, Varian. You were not perfect, but you were grew to become a true King. My king. You and your son learned a lot from each other, may he lead with honor as you did. I hope you find peace where you are now, with your dear wife, I'm sure she's really proud of what you've become. You will never be forgotten, Lo'gosh. For Azeroth.
Varian wasn't a perfect king, but he WAS a good one... and a wise one. Once he got himself right in the head, he was notable for fighting right alongside the common foot-soldiers at any given opportunity; he would not ask these souls to die for a faceless stranger and would be right there risking his own skin with them. Whether you were a commoner or noble, guardsman or hero, Varian would listen and treat you with respect... and from the small to the tall, if you were of his kingdom, of the Alliance or even just a friend... he would fight fiercely in your defense if need be. The king is dead. Long live the king! HAIL KING ANDUIN WRYNN.
We've seen this kid grow from standing next to Bolvar Fordragon in vanilla. For him trying to push his boundaries and explore in cataclysm. To him being a diplomat in Pandaria. He had the chance to poison Garrosh Hellscream with poisoned food in War Trials, and he refused! But now, we see him a rising king. It gives me goosebumps to think that some of us were with him since the very beginning, and have seen his rise. They say men with dreams to be a king, one should first be a man. But in Anduins case, he has almost grew up all on his own. May he follow in the legacy of Anduin Lothar (the lion of Azeroth.) Anduin, Varian, and his mother would be proud. #FortheAlliance
Zak Hill I hate the only fact that Varian died. But I guess knowing no more Stormwind kind will ever be cowardly assassinated by Gul'dan is kind of a relief.... God killing Varian in unforgivable
I always loved the music and I'm loving all the work for Legion. I guess I'm waiting a few months to make sure Activision doesn't make Blizzard pull a Warlords type drop mid-expansion. So EVE Online, LOTRO for me while I get my WoW-fix here :-D (Fighting ON the Anduin by Gondor then I'll fight FOR Anduin!)
+Dave W, you don't have to worry about that. They were working on Legion since before WoD was even a fart in the boardroom meeting. It was a filler expansion, Legion is the next wotlk as far as the significance goes.
What I love about WoW .. is all this music... storyline.. characters.. books... SO many talented and amazing human beings create this universe ... and we're all somehow connected to it.
@@tamim9266 Eh. Varian's story was cool and his ending was badass. I like Horde's stories more. Gives more of a redemption vibe. I can vibe with the Night Elves, but I most definitely live Tauren and Trolls more. I'm a treehugger by nature so I love the races more in tune with nature
@@SuperLuigiFan22 sure mate :D imagine thinking wotlk was actualy good even TBC was better expansion wotlk was good and people remember it only because arthas was major character gameplay wise it was stupid cataclysm was better gameplay wise xDD
@@lukeluckynblue1873 lmfao, you sir are totally braindead. That's why cataclysm lost 5 million players in cata? You do realize cata was the start of downfall for wow right?
RIP Hayven, I just turned on Anduins theme in remembrance to a great UA-camr who lost his battle to cancer, the Halls of Valor opened the gates for you dear friend 😢
I want this song to play the day I die. The most beautiful song this game ever had, and world of warcraft have some of the best songs i've ever heard in my entire life.
Varian: "Anduin, my son. You've grown. " Anduin: "Father? It's really you!? I don't believe this. How is this possible? We've... I've had to endure so much without you." Varian: "I will always watch over you, my son. No matter what." -Heroes of the Storm.
Warcraft, like Star Wars, has its up and downs - varying in quality over the years with some deep low points and the highest peaks within its genre. But the music has ALWAYS been consistently great!
I wish that other games would take some notes on the music and some story telling and lore crafting. Those are three very important key components for a good game! Look at dragon age: origins had great music, loads of explorable lore and a story that rode the stick of good vs evil - but the good guys weren't solely good but had major flaws themself. And inquisition? The lore is too reliant on the books that weren't even popular outside the US, the story was rather lackluster BUT the music was still awesome.
@@sheevpalpatine4676 Nope - Shadowlands has tracks like Pride and Penance, The Weald Is Watching, Shadows of Nathria, Essence of Anguish etc. still have unliimited powaah!
I lost my father this year to cancer This music cheers me up when I imagine myself asking him : “What am I supposed to do now ?” And him to answer “What my son must do” Edit : Thanks for the support/kind words guys.Lifts me up.
Lost my dad to terminal illness in 2020. Got Shalamayne tattooed on my chest for this exact same reason. Never surrender, even at the very gates of Hell
Ratosc2 That whole plot point was explored in War Crimes and MoP. He passed the tests Arthas failed. Choosing to save Garrosh rather than letting him die was one of them. The whole Anduin part of MoP made it clear that where Arthas chose vengeance, Anduin chose mercy.
This soundtrack makes anything your doing absolutely epic. Was doing some grocery shopping with this playing through my headphones and it built to it's most epic state ( starting around 16:34 ), a couple of seconds later it was taking all the self control I had not to scream "For Azeroth" and charge someone whilst wielding a french stick and riding a shopping cart.
Alliance! Your king died with honor, protecting his people and this world. He shall rest amongs legends like Broxigar now! Let us crush the Legion together, and bring Gul'Dan and his vile masters to justice! For Varian Wrynn and Vol'Jin! FOR AZEROTH!!
Ahhh, I never knew what this song was called, but this IS "Legion" to me. This is THE song of one of the greatest eras of Warcraft. Thank you Neal Acree, Julie Elven, and all the artists that brought this to us.
Corrupted I originally thought that this was just the “WoW theme song” just because I heard it everywhere and it sounded dope af. Eventhough I’m horde, this is still the “WoW theme song” to me.
No king rules forever, friends. Insanely well made, a Legion OST giving me the same feelings as "invincible" or "arthas, my son" is a massive achievement. Probably in my top 10 gaming tracks of all time.
I'm a Horde loyalist, but I would be honoured to die by the hand of this man. The "boy king"? What a joke, we should take example of his soul's greatness instead of mocking him. Age mean nothing, Thrall was pretty young when Orgrimm Doomhammer choosing him worthy to wear the title of warchief.
Anduin is a pure, kind and noble soul. He even tried making peace with Sylvanas at the end of Legion. But peace with such evil creatures is and will always be impossible, they are sick and twisted beings that need to be dealt with swiftly. Us, the Alliance shall bring justice for the atrocities committed by the horde. Retribution for the Gilnean people, for the Night Elven people, for the lost lives at Theramore!
@@weeabooshunter4759 Sylvanas is a lost cause. There was a bunch of more competent and honorable candidate for the lead of the Horde. But nooooo, Vol'jin (who did absolutely nothing useful during his role as a warchief), chose Sylvanas 'cause he heard some fucking voices in his head. Clearly, we have a problem when it's time to chose the good warchief. Garrosh wasn't ready and didn't treated his anger management problem, when Thrall give him the job, and we have seen where it's gone, he was a excellent military leader, but completely deprived of any political sense. Sylvanas is worst.
The Horde have also his brave shoulders, like Baine Bloodhoof or Lor'themar... And I was really hearthurting when I saw the death of Vol'Jin cinematic.
I'm all for the Alliance, but I would love to see a Warchief worth for the Horde, like Thrall was. He was one of my favourite characters, I adore him. I really wish you finally get a leader you deserve, because for a long time now, it feels like the Horde is developing backwards :/ It's what keeps me back from creating a Horde character 🤷
Build a big narccistic statue of himself infront of the keep while a crisis is going on. The posing should be quenching the two armpits while shamans lit them on fire . LoL
Legion in my opinion was World of Warcraft at its peak. I had a gut feeling going into VFA that Legion was as good as it was ever going to get. And 4 years down the road I haven't been wrong since.
Given that Legion had 2 years of full attention from the development team, the odds of us ever getting a repeat of Legion is nearly non-existent unless the team starts deciding to wait 2 years between expansion releases.
Agree! People look at BC and Wrath with rose colored glasses but Legion was definitely the peak of the game in a lot of ways including character development and story. Experiencing the end of The Legion was massive moment for fans.
@@daemontheory Legion came out about 1 year and 9 months after WoD did. WoD took longer from previous expansion release, about 2 years and 1.5 months. BfA took longer than Legion, at 1 year and 11.5 months after Legion released. Shadowlands came out 2 years and 3 months after BfA. Dragonflight is promised to be released before 31st December 2022, meaning it will have been 2 years and about a month since Shadowlands was released. What the fuck are you on about? The "team" has already started deciding to wait 2 years between expansion releases, both before and after Legion. Where's your carer? Also, "they abanoned WoD yadda yadda". You can say the same thing about Shadowlands now (or its release pace in general), or about the 10-month long 8.3 cycle when they didn't really do much either, while Legion had a year and 2 months between its release and patch 6.2 (which, while more, is hardly so much longer to the extent of giving us Legion vs BfA or Shadowlands). Basically, the point is, "2 years of full attention from the development team" is literally not true (and I dunno why tf you'd make this comment when you can literally just quickly google patch release dates and easily debunk this), and a fuckin' multi-billion dollar AAA company that has been an industry leader in one of the most lucrative video gaming segments for almost two fuckin' decades now does not even need "2 YeARs OF FuLl AttEntioN fROm The DevEloPmenT TeaM OdDs of a RePeAt NeARly Non-EXistEnt". What they need is people in charge with a clear direction and who have some passion for this game, instead of writing idiotic, shit tier lore, and have some desire to design for the players and not for the shareholders, and put more passion and care into an expansion, instead of shovelling it full of obnoxious, timegating systems that give artificial, short-term engagement increases, but nothing in the long-term but player exoduses all over the place. For what it's worth, I don't think Dragonflight is going to be as fondly remembered as Legion, because it simply doesn't seem to place itself as such a monumental expansion and seems more tame (which I'm not saying is a bad thing, mind you), but I hope that Dragonflight will, at the very least, move away from all the terrible sides of BfA and Shadowlands, and the expansion AFTER Dragonflight can come into its own as a competitor for Legion (hopefully if they actually just stick to less stupid systems and keep to the core revamped talent trees as the main source of player power, and work more on other facets of the game).
As a horde forsaken player I can say that Anduin is definitely one of the best developed characters at this point. To me, he doesn’t seem to fight for just humans or the alliance, but rather the peace of the entirety of Azeroth, even the Horde. It’s rather inspirational. FOR AZEROTH❤️ Edit: Uuuuuhhhh this is a 5 year old comment, the hell was I supposed to know where the plot was heading
@@dcalliou7 not the Alliances fault the Horde has shit leadership "yeah, lets make the genocidal Banshee Queen the Warchief because Vol'jin's imaginary freinds said to while he was getting high, whats the worse that could happen?" *Sylvanas burns Teldrassil and aggros the entire Alliance* Horde: *surprised Pikachu*
@@Makedeth I feel bad for the Horde, they seem doomed to have the worst choice to become Warchief. After Sylvanas dies I guarantee that Gallywix will b the next Warchief
17:35 I found it! My Sun! My very own Sun. Finally, after all those years I found it. Here. At the Broken Isles. My Sun. For real, this part is the most epic thing on the entire video.
the last boss is Sargeras so we will never kill him cause that means the end of the game, the old gods can't be killed and are just filler till Sargeras
+mario lema he's not corrupted by the old gods like Deathwing.. it was his own choice that he became the dark titan he is now.. he split a planet in two, along with the old gods inside it.. so he's clearly on his own, not another pawn of the old gods... he fears the void lords, not the old gods
DrobusMaximus anyway, i stop mornning my king already, he cameback to us in Hero of the Storm!!!!!!!! show them what you got !!my king!!!!!!( heroic strike smashing)
@@FallenTemplar the reason why ppl like legion expansion is bcz its the 1st time dk got any lore progress since wotlk And ppl who hate this expansion is most likely is paladin 1st their greatest champion die unfairly 2nd their order hall got visited by My and the rest of My brother in death of the ebon blade
@@mrpresedin3534 It was my first WoW expansion and I was playing ret paladin :D Started playing in 8.2 absolutely new to the game, ended up with 2k arena rating and mythic argus kill in 7.3. It was a blast for me, first time in a last 5 years I was really enjoying playing MMORPG. Music, lore, dungeons, raids, pvp - everyting was very fun. But BfA just feel worse in all cases... I havent even finished mythic Uldir, new setting and lore feels empty and boring. Maybe It was a burnout for me, I dont know... But now I miss Legion :D
I remember the first time I heard this theme, in this channel... How much i cried then... since that day im doing my own arrangement to orchestra and choir, waiting my chance to conduct it... As a priest, as a Light bringer, as a musician, and as an Alliance, what a proud
Even though I've played horde my whole WoW life, I've been a lore fan since war3. I don't care which side gets the "good cinematics" as long as they're there. and OH how Variann's story evolved! I love it! Even though he's a fairly new character in the warcraft universe he has accomplished SO much.How can any Lore lover not like him? Easy question, they can't. I remeber raiding bolvar early vanilla and getting our asses kicked, but we figured, this isn't even the real king. The real king came though...and wow was he a king. I usually have a sort of snobby reserved view of all characters being created AFTER war3, but omg has Variann given the alliance the warrior, the noble, the new (and better) Arthas, the hero and the icon they need and deserve! The warcraft uniserve does not evolve around Thrall.
There's no logical reason to dislike characters created after wc3. WOW is literally an installment of warcraft. Its like hating on characters created after wc1 because they weren't in the original.
This theme brings tears to my eye and pride in my heart. It makes feel proud to call myself a member of the Alliance and call that small boy I saw in Stormwind my king. He has *earned* his throne and I will take no one saying anything otherwise! FOR THE LION, FOR THE ALLIANCE!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, and to think us players have seen him grow ever since he was a little boy in vanilla. LOOK AT HIM! A KING! Damn am I proud?! Edit: Blizzard wtf :( Anyways, we’ll save Anduin! I know we will!
Anduin---> grow up Onyxia--->dead Bolvar----> become lich king ......Just OMG.....as a old wow player.....those good old days..... So many memories......and so many changes....
Honestly guys lately everyone mad jokes of him being a scrub a nobody and honestly when they made him to be a hero in hearthstone I didn't understood why wouldn't they make Velen or someone more worthy for the post I never understood why would Anduin be a good guy.... THEN I saw stories of him as he even at a young age he was wiser than ANYONE IN GAME he understood that warring is a no-no and while once he almost got together Thrall and his father Varian with a peace offering stuff (of course then Garona came in and ruined everything) still he didn't gave it up.... he almost died on a ship then he was found in pandaria and STILL he believed in peace.... okay even then they made jokes of him being a scrub and in one of Nixxiom's videos he was been made to be "THE CATLORD" and more and more jokes were made about him.... But I could not support them with these jokes.... I saw something within him... I accepted him as a hero in Hearthstone and I'd accept him as a hero who'd deserve a place in the Nexus (in HOTS) AND NOW.... I accept him as the new king of Stormwind OF THE ALLIANCE!!!! and I believe that now there is hope for peace.... As many have said it before me.... the Boy became a Man..... and a Scrub a meme on the internet finally became a KING.... Whatever may happen I just want to say that Varian... You may not have been a perfect leader and once while you were just a warmonger who wanted to destroy the alliance you've learned from your son as you have taught him and now when finally you've understood that Peace is the Noble way to go now I say I shall follow you till the bitter end and know this that your son will be worthy to your Throne and will be a worthy successor for you...... For Azeroth my friends for azeroth..... And LONG LIVE THE KING!
There are two things where WoW never failed and will never fail, and this is its soundtracks and cinematics. Everybody can love and hate the game, but its soundtracks and cinematics are just on another level. Thanks for all the soundtracks throughout the years.
This is my all-time favourite WoW piece. I have it on loop while working from home at the moment, which may or may not be a mistake since I occasionally get very teary (it's SUCH emotional music!). I owe a lot to this dumb, amazing WoW community.
10:26 - 18:33 is some of my favorite WoW music. Probably my favorite "clip" from this piece is from 12:47 - 13:24, the literal goosebumps I got from that was insane! I had chills running laps up and down my spine and neck! I didn't play much of Legion sadly, and I regret it because the music from that expansion was great! The cinematic where Varian died made me deeply sad as he is my favorite lore character, the one where Anduin picked up his fathers sword and showed us that he was ready to become king and fulfill his destiny was also amazing! I feel that this piece really shows us the type of man Anduin is prepared to become and the king he will be! For the Alliance! For the Horde! For AZEROTH!!
This makes me think of Anduin dreaming of his father's death, waking in the night, rereading Varian's last letter to him, sneaking off to the tomb to mourn his father at the side of the stone memorial, and then at 14:30 he dries his tears, grits his teeth, stands, and his conviction to fight the Legion with all his strength is renewed. Then at 16:36 he leads the charge against the Legion, the combined armies of the Alliance rallied behind him. For the Alliance! For Azeroth!
The Chief he didn't die a villain. He held off the scourge long enough for our forces to defeat them and free him. The choices he made were necessary, not all of them followed the light but as we could see in illidan sacrifice cutscene the light, its not always the Wright thing
This track makes me so emotional , seems to hold within it the entirety of the Warcraft lore and Cosmology as well as Anduins full story from birth to becoming king. Absolutely incredible . Thanks for the full track upload.
Anduin is the one character in *World of* Warcraft, that's entirely unique to WoW yet has had so much character development. As we Alliance players grow older, so did our King. We instantly feel a connection to him. I love his character, be it a bit naive but I'd really like to see a Warcraft 4 with Old Anduin as a central figure to a new protagonist, think of him as what Uther or Muradin was to Arthas, in a new Azeroth, years past the events of WoW.
This. I've had a hard time going back to playing Horde, ever since MoP Anduin and his story grew with me. His ideals, his persistance to find the good in all those he met.. It resonated with me, and then came Jaina in BFA and her heartwrenching story of acceptance and regret... And dont get me wrong, the whole Saurfang vs Sylvanas storyline is great, as is Garrosh and Saurfang... How the old veteran sees no honor in what he's done, only horror. WoW often gets alot of flack for having a shit story and poor design with much of the story taking place outside the games, but honestly? I feel that the soundtracks and the moment to moment situations in WoW tell an amazing story... Of a world of strife, striving to be a world of peace. I think they missed a beat with the Jailer, not because of the concept but because of the delivery and the hamfisted way it was used to explain Arthas and Sylvanas. I think the concept of a mastermind who's behind it all for all these years was great, but I wish they hadnt pulled the "a greater threat comes, one you cannot defeat" card yet again. But as far as Varian, Anduin, Saurfang, Arthas and Sylvanas are concerned, I do truly believe that Blizzard has told a good story, especially if I take a step back and look at it more objectively. Not to mention Garrosh, Tyrande, Maiev and Illidan.... There are so many stories, some not given the time they deserved... I could've done so much with Garrosh, instead they made him a pointless tyrant. So much potential wasted on some characters. But at the end of the day, after having stepped away from WoW for 2 years and coming back, I truly now can see the story for what it is, and I find myself able to appreciate the moments much much more. Now, I am going to go make an alliance alt because I realise I need to follow Anduin for a while longer and stand tall, with the Alliance.
I took back wow in shadowlands after burning crusade but how much I regret not having been there for legion. I played it several times on various toons and this look like such a great world of warcraft expansion
I have heard a lot of people criticize Anduin in game and elsewhere, saying all kinds of crazy stuff about him making fun of him but to me I have always been a fan of his story even in MoP I really liked the quest line in Jade forest with him. Not sure how anyone could call him weak when you look at his history. Losing King Varian the way we did was the most epic and tragic moment in all the years of playing wow for me. I'm excited to see his son grow to become the King he is meant to be. For Azeroth For the Alliance.
@@dagothur9709 No, he's not. He's Varian's son. He might have a bit of the Lorderon genes from way back, but he's not Arthas's son. He's the good side of the young men's story arc, Arthas being the bad.
It's incredible how this theme, and instrumental mouvements despictes Anduin and Varian Wrynn well. I can reconise the honor and the needing of protecting their people in this notes, but also the conflict between the Anduin's peaceful vision, and the Varian's determination. How sad I feel after the death of the king.
I was at one of the lowest points of my life when this came out and I had a hard time falling asleep, but this video helped me a lot, and I just feel safe and calm while listening to this beautiful music.
Anduin cant be his father, they took very different paths but Anduin can be great like him in his own way and honestly Anduin might even eclipse Varian cause he can do more than Varian ever could. Varian was a warrior and a master tactician but Anduin has the ability of the light as well and can fight in melee (not as good as Varian).
yea, but he has managed to master ranged weapons, bow and rifle, which he learned since young age. But I agree, the light is pretty cool in WoW lore, maybe a bit OP,
Here's what I hope.. First they continue to make WC films for each WC game/expansion, and then, after WC3: TFT, they will start World of Warcraft as a TV series with each expansion as a season for it :) Five Warcraft movies and one big TV series for World of Warcraft ^^ That would be perfect
I may still be unhappy about Warlords being cut short instead of developed right, but the music folks for WoW often hit it out of the park. I'm subsiding on LOTRO and EVE Online for now, but I'll watch Legion to see if Blizzard does well again.
It's a pain to see the music team and the art team make such god damn amazing assets, only for whoever decides the overall direction to fuck up the expansion, imho.
Glad I'm not only one here to grieve the pain and torture our kind and gentle Anduin is suffering presently. Sylvanas and the Jailer will pay dearly for their crimes.
Jman Jman he’s young and is a human, and had enough balls to defy Sylvanas, especially during lordaeron battle. He knows he isnt strong enough to lead this alone. better than those horde submissive morons to sylvanas that couldnt see that she didnt give a damn clue about them lol
@@jmanjman2685 calling someone a whimp who hasn't had much chance to lead the entire alliance, while had to deal with his grief of his father, while still being really young is ignorant. He have done a really good job, for the while he has been a king.
Jman Jman why would people actually hate the alliance ? It always had the best characters and the best lore so far.. even though blizzard doesnt always make the right choices
I’ve been loving this game because of my dad for more than 10 years and it’s really hard to express how much this game has influenced me. I cannot behind to express my love for this world and the many people within it. I will be sure to stick with it until the very end. For the Horde.
The new cinematic of The War Within for me was one of the best ones they have done, but of course a large part of the community isn't happy that we didn't see Orcs and Humans hammering it out with explosions and fighting. Hope Blizzard keeps going with this, a good story is what can keep this game going for a long time. (PS Blizzard please add fully voice acted quests)
I came back here once after the Shandowland ending and now, after watching the new cinematic the War within. Our boy Anduin has suffered so much since Legion 😭
When I pass on, I will leave my oldest with an audio file with the instructions, "When times are tough, open this audio" This music will be playing in the background with the audio of my final encouragement and counsel is played for my oldest.
How about "I like big butts and i can not lie"? JK, this thing would actually be siut very well. Nobody will attend mine, but i will request it anyway.
It doesn't matter whether the expansion sucks or not. It doesn't matter which one was the best. What will NEVER disappoint are the soundtracks. From Vanilla, TBC and WotLK, to Cata, MoP and WoD. All are perfect and wonderful musical experience. Legion is no exception.
My king..... ive known him since he was a boy........ watched over him......guided him and most importantly was his friend, and now that boy has grown into a man and king i will follow to the death........ FOR THE ALLIANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!
As I started playing wow... I was a boy like him.. And now look at us... We have all grown... Like anduin. Now be the mans, that we always wanted to be! For azeroth, for the alliance!

i dont know why and its kinda weird but i imagine like two old humans or Alliance races sitting somewhere in SW saying that..
Adeptus Astartes may the expansions continue till he dies peacefully of old age.
Would be pretty cool if at some point he gets old and leaves Stormwind to leave a life of peace and you could find him in a remote place like Wetlands or something off the grid in a small house living the simple life.
you dont know why? MAYBE BECAUSE THAT WAS THE EXCAT FUCKING POINT HE WAS TRYING TO CONVEY BY SAYING THAT ROLEPLAY LINE?!
jesus christ...i dont have patience for people like you..
you know when you pretend to be an idiot and expect others to believe you it makes you seem like a patronizing egghead
i mean come on...did you seriously think that Brother Tancred thought an animated figure in SW was his king? he was obviously roleplaying so dont pretend like you didnt get that god damn it

my father passed away a couple months ago, he fight even in his last breath.
he was a warrior who tought me many things: strenght, discipline, enjoy the little things and learn everything of the world.
this music I heard firts time in the online comics of Anduin, and give me hope that my father is finally resting in peace.

If wow were a story with a proper ending, Legion would've been it.
When I first discovered this song I immediately showed my mom who shares similar taste in music. She loved it so much, unfortunately that was the last opportunity I had to share music with her.. so this song has a special place in my heart. she passed away shortly after. Rest well mother you will be missed.
Stay strong
@@dome1995 thanks, I'm hanging in there for her.
Every time I hear to this beautiful song, it remind me of my father who died fighting germs infection in his lungs one years before this song uploaded here. Ngl I cried sometimes hearing to this song. He is my Varian to me after all. May he rest well there.
Man... all i can say is i'm sorry.
FOR AZEROTH!
No matter how fictional the Warcraft universe, there's nothing fake about this song and your connection to it. Stay strong mate
It might sound stupid, but Anduin is representing the new generation of WoW players...growing to know the world of Azeroth.
this is very true!
new generation of girls probably.
+luffy door no, the entire generation. anduin is pretty much the face of the alliance now, face it.
He's not even a bad leader, he's the leader we need.
No. He's the leader we deserve but not the one we need.
Farewell, Varian. You were not perfect, but you were grew to become a true King. My king. You and your son learned a lot from each other, may he lead with honor as you did. I hope you find peace where you are now, with your dear wife, I'm sure she's really proud of what you've become. You will never be forgotten, Lo'gosh. For Azeroth.
Listen to the song and read your text made my cry a little.
I think his greatest moment was in the SoO cinematic compare to what he was in Wotlk he almost 1V1 thrall in the undercity
Please. The wolf isn't dead. No body. No swords....just words and a funeral. Blizzard is up to something.....i hope.
Varian wasn't a perfect king, but he WAS a good one... and a wise one. Once he got himself right in the head, he was notable for fighting right alongside the common foot-soldiers at any given opportunity; he would not ask these souls to die for a faceless stranger and would be right there risking his own skin with them. Whether you were a commoner or noble, guardsman or hero, Varian would listen and treat you with respect... and from the small to the tall, if you were of his kingdom, of the Alliance or even just a friend... he would fight fiercely in your defense if need be.
The king is dead. Long live the king! HAIL KING ANDUIN WRYNN.

Stop complaining like a forever-unsatisfied-kid, it's boring for us and unhealthy for you.
We're so old
We've seen this kid grow from standing next to Bolvar Fordragon in vanilla. For him trying to push his boundaries and explore in cataclysm. To him being a diplomat in Pandaria. He had the chance to poison Garrosh Hellscream with poisoned food in War Trials, and he refused! But now, we see him a rising king. It gives me goosebumps to think that some of us were with him since the very beginning, and have seen his rise. They say men with dreams to be a king, one should first be a man. But in Anduins case, he has almost grew up all on his own. May he follow in the legacy of Anduin Lothar (the lion of Azeroth.) Anduin, Varian, and his mother would be proud. #FortheAlliance
HOOAH brother. For the Alliance!
And today we see him retaking lorderon. Human lands shall rise once more!
Lok’tar OGARRRR FOR THE FUCKING HORDE!!!!

Warcraft, like Star Wars, has its up and downs - varying in quality over the years with some deep low points and the highest peaks within its genre. But the music has ALWAYS been consistently great!
I wish that other games would take some notes on the music and some story telling and lore crafting.
Those are three very important key components for a good game! Look at dragon age: origins had great music, loads of explorable lore and a story that rode the stick of good vs evil - but the good guys weren't solely good but had major flaws themself. And inquisition? The lore is too reliant on the books that weren't even popular outside the US, the story was rather lackluster BUT
the music was still awesome.

Velen's prophecy is coming true. The warrior in light-infused armour, the high king of the army of the light. All points to Anduin.
Anduin confirmed Thrall 2.0
More like Turalyon 2.0
ViDiMoSeSiNe311 Or Anduin 2.0, if you know what I mean...
Arthas 2.0? Anduin could easily take the path to Paladin and somehow be tested same way Arthas was. Maybe he succeeds where Arthas failed
Ratosc2 That whole plot point was explored in War Crimes and MoP. He passed the tests Arthas failed. Choosing to save Garrosh rather than letting him die was one of them. The whole Anduin part of MoP made it clear that where Arthas chose vengeance, Anduin chose mercy.
This soundtrack makes anything your doing absolutely epic. Was doing some grocery shopping with this playing through my headphones and it built to it's most epic state ( starting around 16:34 ), a couple of seconds later it was taking all the self control I had not to scream "For Azeroth" and charge someone whilst wielding a french stick and riding a shopping cart.
We've done it, with friends, at the supermaket.. Wielding Baguettes and screaming "FOR AZEROTH ! FOR THE ALLIANCE !"

Ahhh, I never knew what this song was called, but this IS "Legion" to me. This is THE song of one of the greatest eras of Warcraft. Thank you Neal Acree, Julie Elven, and all the artists that brought this to us.
Feel you, this is a 2016 track that gives me 2007 nostalgia, what a piece of art
Corrupted I originally thought that this was just the “WoW theme song” just because I heard it everywhere and it sounded dope af. Eventhough I’m horde, this is still the “WoW theme song” to me.

Even as a member of the Horde, I still bow in respect to this man.

No king rules forever, friends.
Insanely well made, a Legion OST giving me the same feelings as "invincible" or "arthas, my son" is a massive achievement. Probably in my top 10 gaming tracks of all time.

I'm a Horde loyalist, but I would be honoured to die by the hand of this man. The "boy king"? What a joke, we should take example of his soul's greatness instead of mocking him. Age mean nothing, Thrall was pretty young when Orgrimm Doomhammer choosing him worthy to wear the title of warchief.
Thank you for your comment, my Warcraft brother. I am glad to witness such an insight.
Anduin is a pure, kind and noble soul. He even tried making peace with Sylvanas at the end of Legion.
But peace with such evil creatures is and will always be impossible, they are sick and twisted beings that need to be dealt with swiftly.
Us, the Alliance shall bring justice for the atrocities committed by the horde. Retribution for the Gilnean people, for the Night Elven people, for the lost lives at Theramore!
@@weeabooshunter4759 Sylvanas is a lost cause. There was a bunch of more competent and honorable candidate for the lead of the Horde. But nooooo, Vol'jin (who did absolutely nothing useful during his role as a warchief), chose Sylvanas 'cause he heard some fucking voices in his head.
Clearly, we have a problem when it's time to chose the good warchief. Garrosh wasn't ready and didn't treated his anger management problem, when Thrall give him the job, and we have seen where it's gone, he was a excellent military leader, but completely deprived of any political sense.
Sylvanas is worst.
The Horde have also his brave shoulders, like Baine Bloodhoof or Lor'themar... And I was really hearthurting when I saw the death of Vol'Jin cinematic.
I'm all for the Alliance, but I would love to see a Warchief worth for the Horde, like Thrall was. He was one of my favourite characters, I adore him. I really wish you finally get a leader you deserve, because for a long time now, it feels like the Horde is developing backwards :/ It's what keeps me back from creating a Horde character 🤷
Anduin: What am I supposed to do now?
Varian: What a _king_ must do.

Legion in my opinion was World of Warcraft at its peak. I had a gut feeling going into VFA that Legion was as good as it was ever going to get. And 4 years down the road I haven't been wrong since.
Given that Legion had 2 years of full attention from the development team, the odds of us ever getting a repeat of Legion is nearly non-existent unless the team starts deciding to wait 2 years between expansion releases.
Agree! People look at BC and Wrath with rose colored glasses but Legion was definitely the peak of the game in a lot of ways including character development and story. Experiencing the end of The Legion was massive moment for fans.
@@daemontheory Legion came out about 1 year and 9 months after WoD did. WoD took longer from previous expansion release, about 2 years and 1.5 months. BfA took longer than Legion, at 1 year and 11.5 months after Legion released. Shadowlands came out 2 years and 3 months after BfA. Dragonflight is promised to be released before 31st December 2022, meaning it will have been 2 years and about a month since Shadowlands was released. What the fuck are you on about? The "team" has already started deciding to wait 2 years between expansion releases, both before and after Legion. Where's your carer?
Also, "they abanoned WoD yadda yadda". You can say the same thing about Shadowlands now (or its release pace in general), or about the 10-month long 8.3 cycle when they didn't really do much either, while Legion had a year and 2 months between its release and patch 6.2 (which, while more, is hardly so much longer to the extent of giving us Legion vs BfA or Shadowlands).
Basically, the point is, "2 years of full attention from the development team" is literally not true (and I dunno why tf you'd make this comment when you can literally just quickly google patch release dates and easily debunk this), and a fuckin' multi-billion dollar AAA company that has been an industry leader in one of the most lucrative video gaming segments for almost two fuckin' decades now does not even need "2 YeARs OF FuLl AttEntioN fROm The DevEloPmenT TeaM OdDs of a RePeAt NeARly Non-EXistEnt". What they need is people in charge with a clear direction and who have some passion for this game, instead of writing idiotic, shit tier lore, and have some desire to design for the players and not for the shareholders, and put more passion and care into an expansion, instead of shovelling it full of obnoxious, timegating systems that give artificial, short-term engagement increases, but nothing in the long-term but player exoduses all over the place. For what it's worth, I don't think Dragonflight is going to be as fondly remembered as Legion, because it simply doesn't seem to place itself as such a monumental expansion and seems more tame (which I'm not saying is a bad thing, mind you), but I hope that Dragonflight will, at the very least, move away from all the terrible sides of BfA and Shadowlands, and the expansion AFTER Dragonflight can come into its own as a competitor for Legion (hopefully if they actually just stick to less stupid systems and keep to the core revamped talent trees as the main source of player power, and work more on other facets of the game).

Legion was the Endgame of WoW, you face the mighty legion. Thats the climax of the wacraft lore for me.

As a horde forsaken player I can say that Anduin is definitely one of the best developed characters at this point. To me, he doesn’t seem to fight for just humans or the alliance, but rather the peace of the entirety of Azeroth, even the Horde. It’s rather inspirational. FOR AZEROTH❤️

Prob 2nd to last, the old gods are the final boss and idt blizz would take them out in a patch so most likley an expansion
the last boss is Sargeras so we will never kill him cause that means the end of the game, the old gods can't be killed and are just filler till Sargeras

Even though I've played horde my whole WoW life, I've been a lore fan since war3. I don't care which side gets the "good cinematics" as long as they're there. and OH how Variann's story evolved! I love it! Even though he's a fairly new character in the warcraft universe he has accomplished SO much.How can any Lore lover not like him? Easy question, they can't.
I remeber raiding bolvar early vanilla and getting our asses kicked, but we figured, this isn't even the real king. The real king came though...and wow was he a king. I usually have a sort of snobby reserved view of all characters being created AFTER war3, but omg has Variann given the alliance the warrior, the noble, the new (and better) Arthas, the hero and the icon they need and deserve! The warcraft uniserve does not evolve around Thrall.
There's no logical reason to dislike characters created after wc3.
WOW is literally an installment of warcraft. Its like hating on characters created after wc1 because they weren't in the original.
Pfffffft what are you on about of course warcraft revolves around everyone's favourite pickle jesus
Actually Varian was mentioned in Warcraft 3 manual as Varien if I remember correctly, so were the Dragon Aspects
This theme brings tears to my eye and pride in my heart. It makes feel proud to call myself a member of the Alliance and call that small boy I saw in Stormwind my king. He has *earned* his throne and I will take no one saying anything otherwise! FOR THE LION, FOR THE ALLIANCE!!!!!!!!!!
it cant be 7 years omg... why time flies so
Just thinking that..
😢😭
Wow, and to think us players have seen him grow ever since he was a little boy in vanilla. LOOK AT HIM! A KING! Damn am I proud?!
Edit: Blizzard wtf :( Anyways, we’ll save Anduin! I know we will!
To think Anduin started as a puppet to Onyxia, but through each expansion he has grown older and wiser.
Ya got that right.
Anduin---> grow up
Onyxia--->dead
Bolvar----> become lich king
......Just OMG.....as a old wow player.....those good old days.....
So many memories......and so many changes....
Such a shame that we didnt get to see more of him in Warlords cause he was a big part of Pandaria. But I guess this is his bigtime comback.
Honestly guys lately everyone mad jokes of him being a scrub a nobody and honestly when they made him to be a hero in hearthstone I didn't understood why wouldn't they make Velen or someone more worthy for the post I never understood why would Anduin be a good guy.... THEN I saw stories of him as he even at a young age he was wiser than ANYONE IN GAME he understood that warring is a no-no and while once he almost got together Thrall and his father Varian with a peace offering stuff (of course then Garona came in and ruined everything) still he didn't gave it up.... he almost died on a ship then he was found in pandaria and STILL he believed in peace.... okay even then they made jokes of him being a scrub and in one of Nixxiom's videos he was been made to be "THE CATLORD" and more and more jokes were made about him....
But I could not support them with these jokes.... I saw something within him... I accepted him as a hero in Hearthstone and I'd accept him as a hero who'd deserve a place in the Nexus (in HOTS) AND NOW.... I accept him as the new king of Stormwind OF THE ALLIANCE!!!! and I believe that now there is hope for peace....
As many have said it before me.... the Boy became a Man..... and a Scrub a meme on the internet finally became a KING....
Whatever may happen I just want to say that Varian... You may not have been a perfect leader and once while you were just a warmonger who wanted to destroy the alliance you've learned from your son as you have taught him and now when finally you've understood that Peace is the Noble way to go now I say I shall follow you till the bitter end and know this that your son will be worthy to your Throne and will be a worthy successor for you......
For Azeroth my friends for azeroth.....
And LONG LIVE THE KING!
There are two things where WoW never failed and will never fail, and this is its soundtracks and cinematics. Everybody can love and hate the game, but its soundtracks and cinematics are just on another level.
Thanks for all the soundtracks throughout the years.
This is my all-time favourite WoW piece. I have it on loop while working from home at the moment, which may or may not be a mistake since I occasionally get very teary (it's SUCH emotional music!). I owe a lot to this dumb, amazing WoW community.
10:26 - 18:33 is some of my favorite WoW music.
Probably my favorite "clip" from this piece is from 12:47 - 13:24, the literal goosebumps I got from that was insane! I had chills running laps up and down my spine and neck! I didn't play much of Legion sadly, and I regret it because the music from that expansion was great! The cinematic where Varian died made me deeply sad as he is my favorite lore character, the one where Anduin picked up his fathers sword and showed us that he was ready to become king and fulfill his destiny was also amazing! I feel that this piece really shows us the type of man Anduin is prepared to become and the king he will be! For the Alliance! For the Horde! For AZEROTH!!
This makes me think of Anduin dreaming of his father's death, waking in the night, rereading Varian's last letter to him, sneaking off to the tomb to mourn his father at the side of the stone memorial, and then at 14:30 he dries his tears, grits his teeth, stands, and his conviction to fight the Legion with all his strength is renewed. Then at 16:36 he leads the charge against the Legion, the combined armies of the Alliance rallied behind him.
For the Alliance! For Azeroth!
Tbh I was so sad when Vol'jin died :')
+Wow Fury Vol'jin R.I.P :'-(
Wow Fury Who's Vol'Jin?
This random Troll that died?
Like ffs Blizz he literally didn't do anything at all during his reign.
Wow Fury But tell me, what did he do
... then he gives a medal to the REAL heroes of the expansion and never appears again...
17:27 the part who everyone come for
Thank you my man
I came for the flute.
01:15 too
16:33*
Shivers down my spine. Masterpiece.
No matter how lackluster any expansion might have been, the music is always god tier quality. Easily the best overall music in any game series.
Together with Witcher, Skyrim, Mass Effect..
Lol no
I just love 12:25
The Chief he didn't die a villain. He held off the scourge long enough for our forces to defeat them and free him. The choices he made were necessary, not all of them followed the light but as we could see in illidan sacrifice cutscene the light, its not always the Wright thing
What about if Arthas was the anduin's true father ua-cam.com/video/wd2td8Wzarw/v-deo.html
This is in what language ?
@@joepowa5463 Latin i believe, not too sure though.
@@CaptainDugog not even close to Latin. Probably a fictional language
This track makes me so emotional , seems to hold within it the entirety of the Warcraft lore and Cosmology as well as Anduins full story from birth to becoming king. Absolutely incredible . Thanks for the full track upload.
Still coming back to this after all these years, still brings tears to my eyes.
That face of relief when you beat an artifact challenge. Damn I miss this expansion
My Son! The day you were born, the whole of elwynn forest whispered the name...
"Anduin"
Reasonable doubt suggests he changed it on purpose.

Anduin is the one character in *World of* Warcraft, that's entirely unique to WoW yet has had so much character development.
As we Alliance players grow older, so did our King. We instantly feel a connection to him. I love his character, be it a bit naive but I'd really like to see a Warcraft 4 with Old Anduin as a central figure to a new protagonist, think of him as what Uther or Muradin was to Arthas, in a new Azeroth, years past the events of WoW.
This. I've had a hard time going back to playing Horde, ever since MoP Anduin and his story grew with me. His ideals, his persistance to find the good in all those he met..
It resonated with me, and then came Jaina in BFA and her heartwrenching story of acceptance and regret... And dont get me wrong, the whole Saurfang vs Sylvanas storyline is great, as is Garrosh and Saurfang... How the old veteran sees no honor in what he's done, only horror.
WoW often gets alot of flack for having a shit story and poor design with much of the story taking place outside the games, but honestly? I feel that the soundtracks and the moment to moment situations in WoW tell an amazing story... Of a world of strife, striving to be a world of peace.
I think they missed a beat with the Jailer, not because of the concept but because of the delivery and the hamfisted way it was used to explain Arthas and Sylvanas. I think the concept of a mastermind who's behind it all for all these years was great, but I wish they hadnt pulled the "a greater threat comes, one you cannot defeat" card yet again.
But as far as Varian, Anduin, Saurfang, Arthas and Sylvanas are concerned, I do truly believe that Blizzard has told a good story, especially if I take a step back and look at it more objectively.
Not to mention Garrosh, Tyrande, Maiev and Illidan.... There are so many stories, some not given the time they deserved... I could've done so much with Garrosh, instead they made him a pointless tyrant. So much potential wasted on some characters.
But at the end of the day, after having stepped away from WoW for 2 years and coming back, I truly now can see the story for what it is, and I find myself able to appreciate the moments much much more.
Now, I am going to go make an alliance alt because I realise I need to follow Anduin for a while longer and stand tall, with the Alliance.
so many versions of this beautiful song.. i miss this expansion so much
I took back wow in shadowlands after burning crusade but how much I regret not having been there for legion. I played it several times on various toons and this look like such a great world of warcraft expansion
I have heard a lot of people criticize Anduin in game and elsewhere, saying all kinds of crazy stuff about him making fun of him but to me I have always been a fan of his story even in MoP I really liked the quest line in Jade forest with him. Not sure how anyone could call him weak when you look at his history. Losing King Varian the way we did was the most epic and tragic moment in all the years of playing wow for me. I'm excited to see his son grow to become the King he is meant to be.
For Azeroth For the Alliance.
gscgold for the ALLIANCE
Anduin is Arthas's son
@@dagothur9709 No, he's not. He's Varian's son. He might have a bit of the Lorderon genes from way back, but he's not Arthas's son. He's the good side of the young men's story arc, Arthas being the bad.
Too beautiful. I am not even worthy to listen. Thank you Blizzard!
It's incredible how this theme, and instrumental mouvements despictes Anduin and Varian Wrynn well.
I can reconise the honor and the needing of protecting their people in this notes, but also the conflict between the Anduin's peaceful vision, and the Varian's determination. How sad I feel after the death of the king.
Legion was one of the last great expansions IMHO. Atmosphere, raiding, but most of them all, the music. Can't say I know how 6 years passed.
I was at one of the lowest points of my life when this came out and I had a hard time falling asleep, but this video helped me a lot, and I just feel safe and calm while listening to this beautiful music.
I hope Anduin will become the badass that Varian was and be worthy of his legacy.
Anduin will become a great man, but he will never be his father. It's up to you whether or not that is a bad thing.
Anduin cant be his father, they took very different paths but Anduin can be great like him in his own way and honestly Anduin might even eclipse Varian cause he can do more than Varian ever could. Varian was a warrior and a master tactician but Anduin has the ability of the light as well and can fight in melee (not as good as Varian).
yea, but he has managed to master ranged weapons, bow and rifle, which he learned since young age. But I agree, the light is pretty cool in WoW lore, maybe a bit OP,
the Void is stronger though, even Sargeras who is insanely powerful would rather destroy the universe then fight it.
He already is worthy though
RIP Varian and Tirion :(
Spoiler: Tirion will not rest in peace, you will see hehehe
Hearthstone hinted that a while ago
Varian will rest in pieces lololol
"In the end, death claims us all..." Sylvanas Windrunner
and RIP Voljin
Whatever WoW has become, I'll always be thankful for the stories it told us.
It's going to take a while, but I hope they will continue the making of the Warcraft Movies up until this.
I'd honestly prefer an animated series in the style of the cinematics or ingame cutscenes
Here's what I hope.. First they continue to make WC films for each WC game/expansion, and then, after WC3: TFT, they will start World of Warcraft as a TV series with each expansion as a season for it :) Five Warcraft movies and one big TV series for World of Warcraft ^^ That would be perfect
HennibsDP Sounds great :)
+HennibsDP u should send blizzard that idé
Please don't! D:
I don't want Varian to die again Q_Q
11:13 Wow.
thats the name of the game
I may still be unhappy about Warlords being cut short instead of developed right, but the music folks for WoW often hit it out of the park. I'm subsiding on LOTRO and EVE Online for now, but I'll watch Legion to see if Blizzard does well again.
Regarding the music - I absolutely agree. I hope to play these scores some day. It would be an awesome experience.
It's a pain to see the music team and the art team make such god damn amazing assets, only for whoever decides the overall direction to fuck up the expansion, imho.
goosebumps
Glad I'm not only one here to grieve the pain and torture our kind and gentle Anduin is suffering presently. Sylvanas and the Jailer will pay dearly for their crimes.
I am Horde, and I approve of this statement.
@@MaureenLycaon 💗🙏
Pls du o wait im like a death knight for the jailer now
Anduin is currently the best wow character still living imo at the end of bfa
LoL he is such a whimp.
Jman Jman he’s young and is a human, and had enough balls to defy Sylvanas, especially during lordaeron battle. He knows he isnt strong enough to lead this alone. better than those horde submissive morons to sylvanas that couldnt see that she didnt give a damn clue about them lol
@@jmanjman2685 calling someone a whimp who hasn't had much chance to lead the entire alliance, while had to deal with his grief of his father, while still being really young is ignorant. He have done a really good job, for the while he has been a king.
@@cfiszbin He is one of the many reasons why people hate the Alliance,
Jman Jman why would people actually hate the alliance ? It always had the best characters and the best lore so far.. even though blizzard doesnt always make the right choices
17:35 best part
yep
POSSERS, 00:00 - 18:33 best part
Thanks Putin!
Thank you comrade !!!
If Putin says its the true
I’ve been loving this game because of my dad for more than 10 years and it’s really hard to express how much this game has influenced me. I cannot behind to express my love for this world and the many people within it. I will be sure to stick with it until the very end. For the Horde.
There's a very Castlevania-esque feeling coming from that art of Anduin.
Indeed...and I've never played any Castlevania games, but I know the artwork.
The new cinematic of The War Within for me was one of the best ones they have done, but of course a large part of the community isn't happy that we didn't see Orcs and Humans hammering it out with explosions and fighting. Hope Blizzard keeps going with this, a good story is what can keep this game going for a long time. (PS Blizzard please add fully voice acted quests)
I came back here once after the Shandowland ending and now, after watching the new cinematic the War within. Our boy Anduin has suffered so much since Legion 😭
I'm going to take great pleasure in planting the Ashbringer square in Gul'dan's face.
What about Warswords of Valarjar ? Warriors are still lead of scenario! Other classes only can help to save Azeroth. Warriors will defeat Legion.
Radion Leon >warriors
>melee classes that aren't paladin
I'm going to feel great plunging Apocalypse into gul'dan's head
I'll shove lightswrath so far up his arse you'll be able to use him as a scarecrow.
I'm going to shove my once cursed rune blades up his tight orc pussy
When I pass on, I will leave my oldest with an audio file with the instructions,
"When times are tough, open this audio"
This music will be playing in the background with the audio of my final encouragement and counsel is played for my oldest.
Damn really now this was 8 years ago holy crap time really flies
Whoa! On that picture, Anduin's looking pretty handsome! The music is nice too, surely.
This theme is the only reason why im playing alliance. I love coming to Varians grave from time to time and hearing that music.
THIS MAKES ME SO EMOTIONAL
Here, have a shoulder to cry on!
Same here, every time.... T.T
You're not alone...
Cloud here, don't cry
Even in the darkest moments, a small light shines.
Glow in the dark Anduin balls?
hahahhahah jk
FOR THE ALLIANCE!
I'd actually want this played at my funeral
really? I want: Baby Got Back - Sir-Mix-A-Lot
How about "I like big butts and i can not lie"? JK, this thing would actually be siut very well. Nobody will attend mine, but i will request it anyway.
Requiem for a class
Rest in peace Priest, we'll purify your body and draw a card.
DUDE YOU OWNED IT xD
plz buff priests
He will always be remembered. Priest 2016
this song purifies me from having priest as a class
+Hardin Prouductions hearthstone
LOL
i love the song, please Anduin be our good leader. we need it :)
GLORY TO THE ALLIANCE! FOR THE HIGH KING! FOR ANDUIN!
With "Battle of Azeroth" released this theme becomes more relevant than ever.
This gives me chills. I cant believe its almost 4 years since Legion came out.
It doesn't matter whether the expansion sucks or not. It doesn't matter which one was the best. What will NEVER disappoint are the soundtracks. From Vanilla, TBC and WotLK, to Cata, MoP and WoD. All are perfect and wonderful musical experience. Legion is no exception.
This really set the tone for Legion. One huge reason I loved that expansion.
My king..... ive known him since he was a boy........ watched over him......guided him and most importantly was his friend, and now that boy has grown into a man and king i will follow to the death........ FOR THE ALLIANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!
As I started playing wow... I was a boy like him.. And now look at us... We have all grown... Like anduin. Now be the mans, that we always wanted to be!
For azeroth, for the alliance!
