The circle of respect Varian gave to Thrall and then to Saurfang with his son's passing; Saurfang to Anduin, Anduin to Saurfang, Saurfang to Thrall, and now Thrall to Anduin... It's just beautiful, man. All of it.
This is the true spirit of Warcraft. Yes, there are betrayals, evil and endless wars between the Horde and the Alliance. But there are also good moments. Redemption, love and friendship. Oh, remember the relationship between Thrall and Grommash Hellscream... I'm glad Metzen is back@@MissClickGaming
@@ofyefyue189the true spirit of Warcraft is the Battle between horde and alliance despite how much they try to change this game and make it a woke game
@@foothillcounterstrikeb3155 Yes, the concepts of honor and camaraderie are truly “woke.” People with opinions like yours have exemplified that in full.
Jesus there’s just something about seeing a man break down like that, that really gets you choked up. Maybe it’s because we’ve all been through something to get us in a place like that..And then we have that one friend to help us get it together. Absolutely S tier work from the Mocap team and voice actors!
I hope everyone has a Thrall in their darkest moment. Or an Anduin to their Saurfang. These touching moments will always get me. So much heart in a world that lacks exactly that. ❤
Then it's not just me who cried, the emotions that you can feel through Anduin's eyes are absolutely crazy, it hurts to see our little boy who wanted world peace, always optimistic and a friend to everyone, find himself trembling with tremendous internal pain after loading the responsibility of the whole world on his shoulders. The blizzard has fully captured the behaviors of people with post-traumatic stress and emulated them in full on anduin in this cinematic. I compliment you for this real and human reaction of yours, in the other reactions on youtube they all look like icicles.
I was crying too watching this hahahah. What a spectacular cinematic. Anyone saying, “more explosions!” needs to realize how powerful this moment is, especially setting up a whole saga ahead. We’ll get explosions, I’m sure of it. But to have this emotional moment felt necessary. Superb job, Blizzard. A+ cinematic.
I've never played WoW at all, but this was some emotional stuff. Mind blowing CGI. We are getting extremely close to photorealistic cinematics at this point.
@@blurgalsklech2929 Yeah. that and "I trust you" are incredibly powerful. How can they do that in such a short footage? I don't care it's CG: there's a soul in this.
Glad to see someone else who teared up watching this! I didn't expect to be so moved by a cinematic but the combo of Anduin's new striking appearance and all the trauma he was forced to endure by the Jailer hit me in the feels. Haven't empathised this hard with a character in a long time.
I feel like so many people don't even try to begin what he suffered under The Jailer. He had honor and integrity until his choice was TAKEN from him. The blame he places on himself when he's really a tragic victim is so so so sad. I hope he finds healing in the expansions to come.
I totally related to your reaction with war within cinematic. Over the years of playing WoW, Anduin became a favorite character of mine and I felt so sad for what happened to him in Shadowlands, and this cinematic threw me into tears. 😭 Thank you for sharing your reaction.
After years of feeling like the Alliance got the short end of the stick narratively, Finding out what happened to Anduin made me quit the game until recently, it sucks to see him like this after everything. He was the voice that spoke for me, since I was calling for an end to the faction war since MoP. Then to force him into that, it was too much not to react to@@MissClickGaming
Wouldn't surprise me if the planet itself is a prison made by the titan to harness the power of Azeroth, and the sword of Sargeras was meant to break Azeroth free rather than kill her
all planets were eggs for the titans. that's why you see the planet cracking like an egg. Sargeras was trying to corrupt the nascent titan, but when he failed he tried killing her because he knew she'd be powerful when she "hatched". I recommend The Lost Codex channel to learn about the Titan origination lore
I might be a Horde player but Anduin is without a doubt one of my favorite characters, he has really grown on me over the years. For me it all started in the Shadows of the Horde. His friendship and respect towards Baine over time and even his remorse towards the Forsaken. He really has grown in to a respectable man and king over the years.
I related to your reaction deeply, because mine was very much the same. I was "aww"ing all the time and literally shed tears. Before this, Anduin was just another character to me, but in this scene he became so alive and real, the instant flinch when thrall touches his shoulder, the struggles within and the attempt to suppress them, such strong emotions, immediately pierced through the screen and hit me right in my heart.
I am so glad I wasn't the only one who cried at that. My younger brother has PTSD, I recognized the look from the first of this cinematic. Anduin's my favorite, heck, his theme is my ringtone. To see him in this, I had to go get a list of all the cinematics that lead into this one, there are actually 11 of them with important parts of this story. Rewatching them just showed me how far Wow's story has come (2016 to now) and how much better the graphics of these announcements has gotten. And damn, Metzen being back is just so freaking awesome.
I’m giving the title, the name of the channel that has it, and the length of each. Where needed, I also give a quick name to the characters involved.

As a 31 yr old grown man who has been playing since vanilla and has gone down a very similar (metaphorical) life path as Anduin, I can not watch this with out balling like a baby 😢
I hear ya. Been playing since Classic as well... but as a veteran who is still struggling to come home mentally, the sideways look Anduin had when Thrall placed his hand on his shoulder... I felt that in my soul. That look captured all-too-well the sickening feeling someone with PTSD goes through when feeling threatened by someone they know they shouldn't be threatened by. That war between training/conditioning that kept the survivor alive clashing with a good gesture that shouldn't be threatening... bravo to the WoW cinematic team. I relate on a level I cannot easily express in words.
Mate I am 12 years ahead o you and was an Alpha player:))) I love the WoW lore even though they messed it up and stopped playing, but thanks to people like #Nobble I still get my WoW fix every now and then.
Without a doubt, Anduin is the character of all the lore who has suffered the most, despite being king, the loss of his father, who was so young and loved so much, his mother when he was a child, and despite his kindness, having killed so many people with that, anyone who was totally broke
He father lost he’s family too lost he’s kingdom and he’s mentor and uncle Anduin lothar he went on exile on lordaeron when he was still a lot younger than anduin he lost he’s wife and got abducted and split into 2 souls become a gladiator and fought for he’s life fought the legion and died so I believe he’s father went through a lot more shiit that this boy
@@foothillcounterstrikeb3155 the difference is that varian doesn't remember when he got split, he doesn't remember like he had amnesia whereas anduin forced to remember every experience
I cried too when I saw this, our young prince is all grown up. The Blizz team seriously outdid themselves AGAIN! The detail and realism in this is mind blowing. I truly hope we see him return to Stormwind as the King.
Im almost 40, and im not playing wow many years already. But when i look this cinematic and see that void of pain and suffers in his eyes, i cry. Even on 5+ time. Blizz animations team doing an awesome goob with this movie.
Blizzard really outdid themselves the trailer is beautiful , I can really feel the raw emotions from Anduin, both from his face expression as well as his voice tone
I was searching for reaction videos and found this, looked at a few more of your Wow videos to save for later, and I have to say: the recent cinematics and cutscenes have been GREAT, hope you can get back to reacting to them.
The most incredible and heartfelt animated cinematic and maybe even moment in any animated movies as well. They way they were able to put in that kind of emotion that hits your heart immediately. Its just incredible.
Waouh! It's so cute how you express your emotions! I was just browsing, but you changed my mind. I've added this video in my playlists to watch it heartfully later!
Not a dry eye to be seen. I served in Iraq with a bloke that looked like Anduin. He had the same look in his eyes. He had terrible PTSD, and so did I but I didn't recognise it in myself, not until I got home. Just dress Anduin in desert combats and give him an SA80 A2, and you've got a British soldier reacting to war. War is never the way, but sometimes you don't have a choice.
Every time i see these new video's every since battle for azeroth, they been plucking my heart strings. My wife says its because we have been here from the start. We been playing since 2007 and this game has been a literal part of our lives for so long. Even caught her fishing for 8 hours straight years ago LOL! Anyway, this stuff is so freaking emotional for me its unreal. I have been impressed every since i got to witness my very first in game cinimatic in northren at the black gate.... BRILLIANT!
I appreciate your reaction, a true WoW player. Unfortunately I watched someone else’s reaction video first and all I saw was nasty comments regarding Anduin and the game . I’ve played WoW since the very beginning and have such an emotional attachment to the storyline and the game itself it’s helped me through my traumas and I love the game so much . so I truly appreciate your reaction and video :)
Some people just lack understanding of other's plights, others are too easily influenced by the fickleness of others. Never let your passion and love for something be squandered by those too miserable to enjoy anything. ❤
I just realized that when Anduin raised his sword at Thrall, it was the same move Arthus did when he used Frostmorne to raise Sindragosa in the WotLK trailer. The art put into this trailer to make it so life like is miles ahead of the others to date. Brilliant work.
I really enjoyed this reaction video simply because it was not callous but rather a reaction that enjoyed the experience for what the experience was. Well done!
Manduin was in pieces and his best friend Thrall (since Saurfang passed) picked up the pieces and put him back together through sheer compassion seeing so much himself. I love the PVP in this game but it's stuff like this that keeps me grounded in it.
If only their games were as good as their cinematics. I mean this genuinely, I wish I could care this much about a video game anymore. I feel like they're just not the same as they once were. I've been chasing this high for way too long. I'm glad they still spark these emotions in you.
I've been an FFXIV andy for 8 years and this cinematic is making me crying over and over. The tale of Arthas and Anduin is so riveting and tragic even from what I've seen by proxy. Then "but THAT SWORD" was instant hype because no one in the MMO space hasn't heard of the giant sword stuck in Azeroth! This trailer has actually gotten me to consider WoW for the first time ever. VERY happy for all the WoW players who have waited so long for yesterday! Let's fn GOOOOO!!
Feel free to try but I hope you like M+ Speedruns and Raids as this is the majority of WoWs content. Do not expect a well told or presented Story as this game does not care about it. Expecially if you are a Newcomer.
Didn't delve myself much into the story so I didn't have the reaction you did here but seeing the emotion poor from the pain you knew this character to experience definitely hit me.
I think its on purpose that when anduin points the sword towards thrall he shakes - showing his traumas. However thrall leans towards the sword and it naturally stops shaking like thrall is a stabilizing factor for anduin. Just a small detail i believe is on purpose
The way Anduin's face is portraying incredibly complex emotions after Thrall says "I trust you"...that legitimately made me tear up. I've never CGI achieve that until this cinematic. I get chills watching it.
The parallels between Anduin and Thrall as compared to Zappy Boi and Saurfang here when Saurfang was going to 'claim what is his' is intense! Saurfang and Anduin going through hell. "What they've seen! What they've done!?" The wisdom and compassion of another to help steady their emotions and bring them back to their senses.. And much more! Absolutely brilliant!
for me there was so much to unpack in this trailer. its actually insane. not just the quote of saurfang, that personally shook me to the core. but more like the parallels to arthas. this once young man being the incarnation of the light, the hope, just breaks apart. "i have no light", standing in the pose arthas was in the wotlk trailer. imo this trailer showed us the very moment we were about to lose another hero of the light to the shadows. besides all the feels, seems like chris metzen impersonates thrall here and anduin the wow game. fits too good
I love how, when he lifted his sword, its the same as Arthus did in his cinematic. Just hope he gets a happy ending. But what i dont get: They act like they dont know who is calling or at "who" the sword was aimed. We all know it was aimed at Azeroth (Titan/ Titan Soul). And they knew why Sargeras wanted to destroy Azeroth. So why are they so clueless? Makes no sence to me. And it does look like Azeroth speaking to them. Maybe. But then again, Magni can hear Azeroths voice for a long time now. And he know since Battle fro Azeroth that she is sufferint and hurt. I just hope they will make an alternative plotline with Classic WoW to "fix" the story from Shadowlands and its heavly retcons.
I wanna say it's because they haven't heard her voice themselves perhaps? Or maybe the setup is a twist? I guess we'll have to see. But I get where you're coming from.
I kept telling people, Blizz makes top notch cgi cutscenes, sure, but it’s always been the music that hits me. The moment the Wrynn theme hit, I broke down immediately. All the flashbacks, man, from Anduin’s struggle, all the way back to Varian’s last words before his death… their composers are the real MVP.
Hi! first of all wonderful video I really liked it especially with the announcement of war within which I can't wait! And I also liked the emotion you had for this game, thanks to that I saw that this game is the best mmo for you and that you appreciate! In any case, I love this game with all my heart and like a second family in any case continue your videos, your adorable as anything - by farwayz (French guys)
thank god this channel seems to be hopeful in our king lmaoo. Everywhere else everyone wants to act all stoic and pretend the feelings aren't the best part of the story.
This world is cold. Everyone in their darkest moment would wish for a Thrall yet can't imagine themselves in such a position. I can't wait to see our boy, now King, get through this. Only time will tell. ❤
this cinematics from blizzard, amazing. anduin's face, beard, tears in the eyes, facial expresions, skin..... all their cinematics are great but this one is something else.
You can see anduin spaced out right before he touches his shoulder, he flinches, then the ringing in the ears start as his heart rate increases and his breath begins to increases all the rate to the lashing out in a fight or flight display, he saw anduins blade trembling and as a warrior knew anduin could not trust his own heart. 'A quiet heart steadies the blade' thats why he stepped into the point, if he could not trust his own then he would tell anduin that he trusts him. You saw the moment anduin snapped out of it too, for now he's steady but he is no where near okay. Love it, perfect representation of Trauma, PTSD episode, etc (My take on this anyway)
If you start as an Evoker, you follow the convoy lead by Wrathion to Stormwind to ask for the Alliance's assistance. He jokingly mentions he's a good friend of the King... Who is very much MIA right now. Kinda gives players some context that basically no one knows where he's been all this time except for maybe a few.
End of Shadowlands. When it seemed Anduin was lost to the darkness forever (a fate like that of Arthas), Varian and Saurfang rose to his side and gave him their strength to fight beyond. It was such a powerful moment I wasn't ready for. ❤
As a Veteran of OEF and OIF. what Anduin is Feeling is how we feel everyday. What have seen and done weighs down on our hearts and mind. Sadly it is the price of war. Like Anduin we feel like we are not worthy of the light or forgiveness.
I’ll be honest this expansion is what I expected to see after legion or battle for Azeroth even pertaining the sword of sargaras. We had to take 2-3 expansions to get anduins character development ready lol
![KSI - Dirty [Official Visualiser]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/VoDh1h1dPUE/mqdefault.jpg)
How he quotes Saurfang got me...."what I've seen, what I've done"
Also "We don't get to hide". Saurfang was a good friend to Thrall and Anduin and now this friendship lives in them
The circle of respect Varian gave to Thrall and then to Saurfang with his son's passing; Saurfang to Anduin, Anduin to Saurfang, Saurfang to Thrall, and now Thrall to Anduin... It's just beautiful, man. All of it.
This is the true spirit of Warcraft. Yes, there are betrayals, evil and endless wars between the Horde and the Alliance. But there are also good moments. Redemption, love and friendship. Oh, remember the relationship between Thrall and Grommash Hellscream...

Not a dry eye to be seen. I served in Iraq with a bloke that looked like Anduin. He had the same look in his eyes. He had terrible PTSD, and so did I but I didn't recognise it in myself, not until I got home.
Just dress Anduin in desert combats and give him an SA80 A2, and you've got a British soldier reacting to war. War is never the way, but sometimes you don't have a choice.
Your setup is very cool these days. I love the positioning of the video and your camera. Clean as heck
Thank you! I try my best! 😂❤
Every time i see these new video's every since battle for azeroth, they been plucking my heart strings. My wife says its because we have been here from the start. We been playing since 2007 and this game has been a literal part of our lives for so long. Even caught her fishing for 8 hours straight years ago LOL! Anyway, this stuff is so freaking emotional for me its unreal. I have been impressed every since i got to witness my very first in game cinimatic in northren at the black gate.... BRILLIANT!
your reaction even brought more tears to my eyes.. the emotions that you can feel through Anduin's eyes are absolutely devastating
all for show grow up
@@gixxie117 ok. How about mind your own growing smart a$$ and your own business and let people say what they feel, tough guy ?
@@gixxie117 Found the sociopath. People love to tell on themselves.
I appreciate your reaction, a true WoW player. Unfortunately I watched someone else’s reaction video first and all I saw was nasty comments regarding Anduin and the game . I’ve played WoW since the very beginning and have such an emotional attachment to the storyline and the game itself it’s helped me through my traumas and I love the game so much . so I truly appreciate your reaction and video :)
Just ignore Asmongold clips lol
Some people just lack understanding of other's plights, others are too easily influenced by the fickleness of others. Never let your passion and love for something be squandered by those too miserable to enjoy anything. ❤
Well said :)
I just realized that when Anduin raised his sword at Thrall, it was the same move Arthus did when he used Frostmorne to raise Sindragosa in the WotLK trailer.
The art put into this trailer to make it so life like is miles ahead of the others to date. Brilliant work.
This cinematic is absurdly good. Holy damn.
1:33 is a moment of transition from "oh god this is so detailed and nice" to "oh god Im fucking crying.."
i also love the pose anduin is taking when pulling the sword. like arthas in the opening cinematic from wotlk
We've got a Saurfang throwback, the Arthas/Anduin parallels, the boys teamin' up again, and Sargy's big ass sword. It's about to go down.
Oh my god this woman is so magnificent
5 years today.. miss you dad.
I really enjoyed this reaction video simply because it was not callous but rather a reaction that enjoyed the experience for what the experience was. Well done!
Manduin was in pieces and his best friend Thrall (since Saurfang passed) picked up the pieces and put him back together through sheer compassion seeing so much himself. I love the PVP in this game but it's stuff like this that keeps me grounded in it.
I don't even play WoW, but I saw this through others. What a well done moment between two seasoned warriors, and friends
Great to see you back in any way.
If only their games were as good as their cinematics.
I mean this genuinely, I wish I could care this much about a video game anymore. I feel like they're just not the same as they once were. I've been chasing this high for way too long. I'm glad they still spark these emotions in you.
Who is it Thrall? Who's calling out to us?
Thrall: It's-... it's _Jon_ from Spawnwave.
Lmfao this is dumb af 😂😂
Oh girl...what a sweet reaction. 🥲 The cinematics allways are amazing!🥰
I've been an FFXIV andy for 8 years and this cinematic is making me crying over and over. The tale of Arthas and Anduin is so riveting and tragic even from what I've seen by proxy. Then "but THAT SWORD" was instant hype because no one in the MMO space hasn't heard of the giant sword stuck in Azeroth! This trailer has actually gotten me to consider WoW for the first time ever. VERY happy for all the WoW players who have waited so long for yesterday! Let's fn GOOOOO!!
Feel free to try but I hope you like M+ Speedruns and Raids as this is the majority of WoWs content.
Do not expect a well told or presented Story as this game does not care about it. Expecially if you are a Newcomer.
Didn't delve myself much into the story so I didn't have the reaction you did here but seeing the emotion poor from the pain you knew this character to experience definitely hit me.
The sound your baby makes at 0:58 sounds exactly liek the sound the baby Dragon Whelps make in Dragponflight. :D
I cried when Chris came out than again on this both of them mean a lot.
I think its on purpose that when anduin points the sword towards thrall he shakes - showing his traumas. However thrall leans towards the sword and it naturally stops shaking like thrall is a stabilizing factor for anduin. Just a small detail i believe is on purpose
Good to see a new video from you!
It's probably the most emotional reaction that I saw. Thank you.
The way Anduin's face is portraying incredibly complex emotions after Thrall says "I trust you"...that legitimately made me tear up. I've never CGI achieve that until this cinematic. I get chills watching it.
I've cried at Blizzcon trailers before, but I didn't this one. Until I watched you crying at it that is... IT GOT ME EVENTUALLY. haha
The parallels between Anduin and Thrall as compared to Zappy Boi and Saurfang here when Saurfang was going to 'claim what is his' is intense! Saurfang and Anduin going through hell. "What they've seen! What they've done!?" The wisdom and compassion of another to help steady their emotions and bring them back to their senses.. And much more! Absolutely brilliant!
for me there was so much to unpack in this trailer. its actually insane. not just the quote of saurfang, that personally shook me to the core. but more like the parallels to arthas. this once young man being the incarnation of the light, the hope, just breaks apart. "i have no light", standing in the pose arthas was in the wotlk trailer. imo this trailer showed us the very moment we were about to lose another hero of the light to the shadows.
besides all the feels, seems like chris metzen impersonates thrall here and anduin the wow game. fits too good
I love how, when he lifted his sword, its the same as Arthus did in his cinematic. Just hope he gets a happy ending.
But what i dont get: They act like they dont know who is calling or at "who" the sword was aimed. We all know it was aimed at Azeroth (Titan/ Titan Soul). And they knew why Sargeras wanted to destroy Azeroth. So why are they so clueless? Makes no sence to me. And it does look like Azeroth speaking to them. Maybe. But then again, Magni can hear Azeroths voice for a long time now. And he know since Battle fro Azeroth that she is sufferint and hurt.
I just hope they will make an alternative plotline with Classic WoW to "fix" the story from Shadowlands and its heavly retcons.
I wanna say it's because they haven't heard her voice themselves perhaps? Or maybe the setup is a twist? I guess we'll have to see. But I get where you're coming from.
Magni describes the voice as something from a dream, and only he heard it, not everyone else
Anduin's Theme has to be my favorite alongside Arthas' Theme. That slow version in this trailer is living rentfree in my head
Man, Blizzard is nothing without Chris. He is so awesome.
I kept telling people, Blizz makes top notch cgi cutscenes, sure, but it’s always been the music that hits me. The moment the Wrynn theme hit, I broke down immediately. All the flashbacks, man, from Anduin’s struggle, all the way back to Varian’s last words before his death… their composers are the real MVP.
Hi! first of all wonderful video I really liked it especially with the announcement of war within which I can't wait! And I also liked the emotion you had for this game, thanks to that I saw that this game is the best mmo for you and that you appreciate! In any case, I love this game with all my heart and like a second family in any case continue your videos, your adorable as anything - by farwayz (French guys)
This scene was so overwhelmed , every time I watched it i cry :(
Anduin: "Who's calling out to us?"
Thrall: "My new gf, Sylvanas. She's fit as."
*(Anduin instantly indulges in PTSD)*
thank god this channel seems to be hopeful in our king lmaoo. Everywhere else everyone wants to act all stoic and pretend the feelings aren't the best part of the story.
This world is cold. Everyone in their darkest moment would wish for a Thrall yet can't imagine themselves in such a position. I can't wait to see our boy, now King, get through this. Only time will tell. ❤
Love that reaction!
this cinematics from blizzard, amazing. anduin's face, beard, tears in the eyes, facial expresions, skin..... all their cinematics are great but this one is something else.
Damn it! I cry every damn time i see this movie. Anduin is really depressed and Thrall's expression upon him is so heartbreaking ...
So who had "Azeroth hatches" for the new expansion?
You can see anduin spaced out right before he touches his shoulder, he flinches, then the ringing in the ears start as his heart rate increases and his breath begins to increases all the rate to the lashing out in a fight or flight display, he saw anduins blade trembling and as a warrior knew anduin could not trust his own heart. 'A quiet heart steadies the blade' thats why he stepped into the point, if he could not trust his own then he would tell anduin that he trusts him.
You saw the moment anduin snapped out of it too, for now he's steady but he is no where near okay.
Love it, perfect representation of Trauma, PTSD episode, etc (My take on this anyway)
the difference to reality people care about Anduin but in irl nobody cares that you are at the breakingpoint until its too late...

@@angelbo2408 rt?^^
I love U, for your Love for Warcraft
Never played or know the story, but damn thats good acting😢.
Not gonna lie, I was'nt ready to cry either
mood
Anduin lookin like Oliver Queen from Arrow
Now I know who Anduin is for. And I weep too.
was Anduin mentioned at all during Dragonflight?
If you start as an Evoker, you follow the convoy lead by Wrathion to Stormwind to ask for the Alliance's assistance. He jokingly mentions he's a good friend of the King... Who is very much MIA right now. Kinda gives players some context that basically no one knows where he's been all this time except for maybe a few.
"thats our boy" cuts so deep 😢
I also noticed Thrall turning gray right away.
You got me all emotional with your emotion
Nice reaction. Sargeras aimed the sword at Azeroth, the last Titan as we know from the reveal of 3rd expansion of Worldsoul saga.
Love seeing how much you care im a sensitive soul too and tear up so unexpectedly over make believe things haha.
Empathy is a blessing but also a curse.
I've been out of WoW since cata, what is the flashback when he puts his hand on Anduins shoulder referencing?
End of Shadowlands. When it seemed Anduin was lost to the darkness forever (a fate like that of Arthas), Varian and Saurfang rose to his side and gave him their strength to fight beyond. It was such a powerful moment I wasn't ready for. ❤
As a Veteran of OEF and OIF. what Anduin is Feeling is how we feel everyday. What have seen and done weighs down on our hearts and mind. Sadly it is the price of war. Like Anduin we feel like we are not worthy of the light or forgiveness.
I’ll be honest this expansion is what I expected to see after legion or battle for Azeroth even pertaining the sword of sargaras. We had to take 2-3 expansions to get anduins character development ready lol
Been a while since I've seen a video pop up hope all is well with everyone
I just found you channel and have been serious serious WoW player and i feel your reaction to the new trailer. Insta follower!!!
It's good to be back with Dragonflight. Welcome! ❤
glad im not the only one who gets teary with these trailers.. and im a man
