I can’t believe how emotional I was watching this video. It was like reading the last page of a long book I’ve been reading for 22 years. Since WC3, I’ve always admired Malfurion and Tyrande’s love for each other. There have been so many highs and lows in their stories, but they stayed true to each other. Thank you Warcraft team for such a beautiful ending to this story!
I feel like this is the first wow cinematic that actually shows a kiss. Any sort of gesture of affection seen before was usually just a hug or something.
I was also surprised lol not the biggest fan of these 2 couple, even still make joke of the "Tyraaaaaaaaandeee I need you" from Legion xD but they still a nice couple and its good to see this scene :D

@@nathannorthrenia8810 Now that Tyrande and Malfurion is retiring, maybe Shandris will marry Jarod and break the hegemony of the Sisterhood and the Cenarion Circle on kaldorei society?? :)
See, this is some weird thing they came up with for... I think Cataclysm, though? Prior to that Shandris was not their daughter. She was Tyrande's right-hand woman and lieutenant. The whole "she's like a daughter to her" thing's never really sat right with me. Also Night Elves are millenia old, do they really have traditional parent/child relationships? That doesn't even really make sense.
@@Aldrius Tyrande adopted Shandris circa 10000 years before Cataclysm. If you want real world timelines instead, The War of the Ancients Trilogy came out 5-6 before Cataclysm.
21 years later after playing WC3, I never expected, nor asked for such a payoff and happy ending that would have me here sobbing as a grown ass adult. Goddammit Bliz, ya did it. You finally gave us the most emotional payoff possible. Never asked for a happy family ending for these three characters, whom I played and interacted with for over 2 decades… but dammit, I’ll take it.
Yeah man so happy let's just all collectively forget the genocide the friendly horde committed, (just like the characters in the game) that led to this moment luh-mao
@@IVPixel I am in the boat that Blizzard's plotlines about forgetting genocide are not sitting well with me, but this moment is genuinely sweet and worth the wait. They didn't forget Malfurion. The night elves finally get something like a happy ending.
When Tyrande turned and began running towards him, panting and jumped in his arms with a kiss, I swear I felt my eyes getting watery and had the biggest smile on my face. Also Shandris was so adorable looking at them together and the way the embraced eachother like a true family. This is such a beautifully done cinematic.
@@MoXfy_Milling i believe you re right -- she s had moment with tyrande in the books yet never truly that in depth with that big of an emotional display
Shandris at the end is so adorable. In that moment, she isn't the 10,000 year old leader of the Sentinels. She is that 16 year old happy both her parents are safe and reunited. You can see on her face and hand movement how happy she is but also nervous about interrupting them because she knows how deep their love for each other is. Then she does that gritty little hop into their arms when they welcome her into their embrace.
I think Shandris wasn't that happy in her youth. Her family was killed by the demons during the War of the Ancients. She kinda adopted herself to Tyrande. But they're a happy family for 10.000 years now and it finally shows.
Kind of a shame that his idea, even from legion, about fighting for the world as it is now that the Long Vigil is over, has constantly been ignored so the devs can keep putting him to sleep...
I’m a night elf player l, and I have been for nearly 10 years now. I feel so connected to this game and to the night elves as a whole so I can fully say… I was actually crying at the end of this. I felt overjoyed knowing that the devs remembered Ashenvale, Valsharah, and Hyjal and that they were acknowledging how important they were. I love knowing that one day the night elves will return to Teldrassil, which was my favorite starting zone and area in WoW. But most importantly, seeing Tyrande and Malfurion actually get their happy ending at last after so many years, it felt serene and magical. I hope the two of them get some rest and relaxation during the war within, they deserve it
He is the worst maru sue character of all time wow lore stuff he did makes me'dan look like a weakling..... you liking a badly written character doesn't make decent interactions of him good lorewise looking from war1 orcs and humans to this day. Also night elves have suffered least still to this day from mortal races of azeroth if you scale numberwise. they are just hypocrites who sank 80% of original kalimdor (war3 manual) kill more than orcs ever did on dreanor. even if for good good cause they still did it and haven't faced justice from it. Also from listing zin-ahsari and suramar are sacred places for night elf history but tyrande chooses to ignore that she knowninglt threw much older night elves than she to horde because of racism but had no courage to try and fight azshara 1v1 and even if she would have died her death would meang more than aynything she hed done in her life.
@@thehermit8723 well how about malfurion 1v1 archimonde as a apprentice druid and forcing archimonde to retreat or malfurion holding off the entire nightmare and xavius at the same time or malfurion being able hold of a tornado which could have shattered entire darkshore(while azshara alot powerful than malf couldn't keep zin-azhara above Waters) or malfurion being on same level as to Be able to take yseras place in the shadowlands. or tyrande holding of huge army of demons alone who just kept spawning from Well of eternity to give malfurion and illidan Time, tyrande being elunes chosen without any explanation or being in the maw without being captured. While she couldn't even survive. Neither sylvanas or illidan have had that kind of Mary Sue moments. Literally all sylvanas Mary Sue moments can Be explained by jailer empowering and she wasn't given a free Pass either as eternity in the maw is lorewise worse than death. illidan has had no really powerfeatwise Mary Sue moment and chronicles 3(with tbc packing that up) and Even legion shows his methods in tbc were clearly wrong placing illidan morally on same level as legion and sargeras.
malfurion just standing there staring knowing full well hes the star of this videogame. Dude loves Tyrande so much he took four (4) steps to facilitate her marathon to get to him
This, now this was beautiful. And to welcome Shandris into their arms, too? This is the most healthy family in Warcraft. (Aside from Illidan, I guess.)
Caught me by surprise lol. I walked into this video with no emotion, expecting a cheese-fest and ended up legit crying. It was very sweet and a great homecoming/reunion for the three of them 💜
@@Grimuald Dragonflight was worth it. He didn't sacrifice himself, he took Ysera's place temporarily in the shadowlands in order for Ysera to aid the dragonflights. He was the only one that could do so because Ysera did sacrifice herself for him in Legion.
right, Valeera (blood elf assassin) has unique amazing model while being once again forgotten by the game. But Shandris looks like she's in middle of leveling in Lich King expansion.
it's kinda... funny to see Tyranda run like a schoolgirl to her love xD funny in a cute way it's just i can't stop thinking about the fact that they are thousands of years old
Very touching cinematic, albeit without Malfurion talking does make me believe they couldn’t get the voice actor in for a few lines, they did really well with this one. And they managed to get characters to kiss on screen for a change!
He has in-game dialogue with Shandris right after the cutscene, so no it was a design choice not to have him talk which I think is fair enough there wasn't really anything important for him to say there.
@@FlamedramonX Shandris: Father, we have so much to tell you... Malfurion: As I slumbered within Ardenweald, Ysera let me dream through her eyes. I saw the courage you showed defending Amirdrassil.

Shandris: Our people will be pleased to have both of you leading them into that future. Tyrande: No, my beloved daughter. I think we will tarry here in Bel'ameth a while. Tyrande: I believe we have earned some time alone together. Malfurion: That we have, my love. Shandris: But our people need-- Tyrande: They have all they need in you, child.

I find Tyrande listing off the other Night Elf zones so funny because so many players were bitching that the Night Elves were leaving Kalimdor so they put that in to shut them up lol.
Tyrande and Malfurion is my favorite couple in Warcraft without a doubt. They deserve happiness & peace together. After everything (10,000+ years of it) they've endured together, they deserve a happy future.
The music, the complete, and utter longing and happiness... this is taken completely out of an epic romance, and I am here for it! Amazing to finally see WoW couples.. be couples! 😍
I think she meant it as more of a living on the island again. Staghelm used the last known vial of waters from the Well of Eternity to grow it, so it probably can not be replaced. Might just start to naturally regrow though like Nordrassil did. But that tree sits over a lake infused by the Well of Eternity water and 3 dragon blessings.
THEY NAILED THIS ONE! -- Blizz, THIS, this cinematic -- TOP teir. So beautiful, so heartfelt and the family hug, the whole family........(speechlessly perfect)
Considering that all these few decades they lost Cenarius, Illidan, and Teldrassil and its people, and even they almost lost themselves, Tyrande and Malfurion deserved this moment of happiness
This is one done right. Good job Blizzard. Actually all three this patch look and are great. Maybe there is hope. edit: Shandris is so adorable as well.
Tyrande needs to be given a break, at least until Midnight, if she's aiding Lor'themar and the Blood Elves in Quel'Thalas. The girl has been through so much and she deserves her time of respite in Bel'Ameth.
So touching. I love the little details here. The disbelief turned to joy on their face to see Furion, Tyrande's subtle little nod when she encourages Shadris to join the hug. Lovely family reunion.
That run kiss is a little cliche but done well here. Shandris though steals the scene. In that moment she is the little girl they took in thousands of years ago.
Really wish the Night Elves weren't done dirty for the past few years (no thanks to certain writers...), but this? I really love this. It's about time we see them done justice and that Malfurion and Tyrande have their happy ending!
Sooo. It seems like Bel'ameth is but a temporary solution, as the end goal is still Teldrassil. At least that's what I have gathered from this Cutscene.
Hey Blizz... DON'T BURN THIS TREE DOWN PLEASE..THANK YOU!! But in all respect, Night Elven music always gives the emotions away. Happy that Malfurion is back! I'm glad they got this ending.
This is more than I imagined, I never thought they would reaffirm their hold on their old territories and their plans to return to Teldrassil and rebuild Darnassus, I’m really glad for all this
My heart broke with teldrassil fall , and my heart filled with joy after this , my night elf mage gonno rest now knowing that her people have found peace
I totally don't have a photo album of about 30 selphies my dk took smiling and laughing while "helping" people evacuating Teldrassil. Nope definitely not.
I've been watching too much Frieren. When an Elf who's lived as long as Tyrande is talking about all the years of strife, somewhere I can hear Frieren in the background scoffing, "It was a mere 20 years."
Looks like Teldrassil is going to be a zone with a city again in the future. I have to admit Im surprised. I thought Blizzard was done with that place and that it would just stay as a horrible reminder of BFA.
its about time blizzard has an emotional genuine scene, shouldnt of taken nearly 20 years to have a couple show there love in a cut scene on top of that a touching family moment.
Oh a night elf cinematic that doesn't come with something endangering them or their home? *Finally.* Although Malfurion was gone which I think was silly, I'll give them an applause for this beautiful scene. May the kaldorei rest now, and reunite stronger and more independent.
"I missed you, beloved..." "Look! It's Banshee Queen!" "Tyrande freaks out with her weapons ready. "Made you look!" "Beloved, I love you forever and I missed you very much... but do that again and you will join her in her sentence!"
1:39 i cant man. i cant. every time i see Shandris' face here my heart just melts and i break into tears. its so adorable. I just wanna stretch my arms out and hug her myself.
Shandris deserves that hug just as much if not more than those two did. People only talk about the hardships Malfurion and Tyrande have gone through while completely ignoring their daughter who has been their the whole time. In SL she spent the whole time trying to stop her mom from literally tearing herself apart because of her desire for revenge. Then (5years later) in DF she had to watch her dad willingly sacrifice himself to bring back Ysera, and the heartbreak it caused her mother.
In Shadow's Rising it's implied the Horde Council pulled most of its people out of Night Elf lands. Only the Cenarion Circle and Earthen Ring members of the horde go their now. They kept Azshara though because its so heavily built up. Ingame stuff is heavily outdated and needs a Cata-style revamp.
It a great reunion but its still stupid that he wasn't in the last patch when other members of the night fea were they real dont know what do with him do they
I was actually crying, with shoulders heaving and everything. And I rarely cry. They just keep one-upping themselves. This amazing family moment for Malfurion, Tyrande, and Shandris was so well done, from the acting to the animation. Just...wow.
As a NE main, I love this cutscene. But some of the comments below batshaming Malfurion Tyrande etc really don't know the lore behind these characters or just haven't read the books, played WC3 or are just plain dumb. Just let us have this moment!
If there is one thing that this expansion has done it is really sell that Malfurion and Tyrande are in a loving relationship. You'd get the odd "my love" in WCIII and WCIII:TFT and you'd get told in text that they loved one another now and then in WoW... but the game really never put in the work to sell their relationship. In Dragonflight we have multiple examples of them being together, speaking softly to one another, hugging, and now they even kiss. Extra points for actually showing Shandris as their daughter rather than a business associate who occasionally calls Tyrande her mother. Dragonflight may get a little silly at times with certain things but I rank it up there with WoTLK and MoP as one of the best expansions we've had.
We reclaimed Gilneas, We now have confirmation for Teldrassil, *and* that moment between Tyrande and Malfurion? Damnit Blizz I didn't have a triple whammy tear jerker on my 2024 Bingo card!

Shandris really needs a new model. Girl was around for so long and appears often in each expansion. She simply deserves it "as a whole"
She will get a new model once they officially introduce her as the new Leader for Night Elves.
just glad she lost that awful hat already at least´^^
Tyrande and Malfurion promote her to the new leader of Nelves, so yeah she definitely needs a new model now.

I find Tyrande listing off the other Night Elf zones so funny because so many players were bitching that the Night Elves were leaving Kalimdor so they put that in to shut them up lol.
I expected the "we would not abandon our own lands line" but not the teldresil one I'm so happy!!
Tyrande and Malfurion is my favorite couple in Warcraft without a doubt. They deserve happiness & peace together. After everything (10,000+ years of it) they've endured together, they deserve a happy future.
The music, the complete, and utter longing and happiness... this is taken completely out of an epic romance, and I am here for it! Amazing to finally see WoW couples.. be couples! 😍
This really puts a smile on my face. Its heartwarming and the feeling when Shandris got in on the hug really cheered me up.
Despite her official capacity as sentinel general, she is the daughter of their heart.
Tyrande talked about the renewal of Teldrassil in the future! Can it be? It would be so hype if we actually get Teldrassil back one day :D
I think she meant it as more of a living on the island again. Staghelm used the last known vial of waters from the Well of Eternity to grow it, so it probably can not be replaced. Might just start to naturally regrow though like Nordrassil did. But that tree sits over a lake infused by the Well of Eternity water and 3 dragon blessings.
@@coreym483now Ebysian and even the primalist girl can bless Teldrassil
to be honest. This is probably the most touching scene in entire wow story
TRUE
Lmao no
Nah Senegos' death was more touching
Oof, sit down by the hearth and let me tell you the story of Arthas Menethil.
@@rainisneat Most touching is different from heart breaking.
Already one of my all time favourite cut scenes 😭
Oh my god, puppyeye shandris is sooo adorable. How?!
Right? "Mummy, Daddy, can I have a hug too?"
THEY NAILED THIS ONE! -- Blizz, THIS, this cinematic -- TOP teir. So beautiful, so heartfelt and the family hug, the whole family........(speechlessly perfect)
Deamn, Blizz really upgrade their cinematic engine. This looks so good
Made me cry even though I'm horde player it's so romantic and sweet ❤❤
What you're hearing is the sound of every Kaldorai player collectively sobbing in the background
This was such a good cut scene, it was done so well, definitely a tear jerker.
this made me bawl like a baby. this was such a magical cutscene!!!
Considering that all these few decades they lost Cenarius, Illidan, and Teldrassil and its people, and even they almost lost themselves, Tyrande and Malfurion deserved this moment of happiness
The love between these two has always been so pure and strong. Good to see this after so much conflict and death.
Even Illidan smiled at this reunion, i'm sure of it.
This is one done right. Good job Blizzard. Actually all three this patch look and are great. Maybe there is hope.
edit: Shandris is so adorable as well.
My heart can't take this. It's just so cute, adorable, heartfelt!
As a nelf player who was kinda sour after all these years, I kinda feel much better now. Thank you.
Shandris represents all of us fans. I'm not crying... it's just something on my eye.
Allways been my favorites since Wc3, and this cutscene was just beautiful, seeing them togheter, all of them. As a family
Tyrande needs to be given a break, at least until Midnight, if she's aiding Lor'themar and the Blood Elves in Quel'Thalas.
The girl has been through so much and she deserves her time of respite in Bel'Ameth.
i don't know why but i'm not stop cry when Tyrande see Malfurion..
So touching. I love the little details here. The disbelief turned to joy on their face to see Furion, Tyrande's subtle little nod when she encourages Shadris to join the hug. Lovely family reunion.
I cried when Tyrande and Malfurion reunited. It was so touching!
That run kiss is a little cliche but done well here. Shandris though steals the scene. In that moment she is the little girl they took in thousands of years ago.
Really wish the Night Elves weren't done dirty for the past few years (no thanks to certain writers...), but this? I really love this. It's about time we see them done justice and that Malfurion and Tyrande have their happy ending!
Sooo. It seems like Bel'ameth is but a temporary solution, as the end goal is still Teldrassil. At least that's what I have gathered from this Cutscene.
Hey Blizz... DON'T BURN THIS TREE DOWN PLEASE..THANK YOU!!
But in all respect, Night Elven music always gives the emotions away. Happy that Malfurion is back! I'm glad they got this ending.
It's weird to see WoW characters being happy
Tyrande mi amor❤
This is more than I imagined, I never thought they would reaffirm their hold on their old territories and their plans to return to Teldrassil and rebuild Darnassus, I’m really glad for all this
In a world that is starved of happy endings this one was well needed.
THEY POPPED OFF WITH THIS CUTSCENE
Mother figure , Father figure and their adopetd daughter..that was a surprisingly good and simple cinematic.
this cinematic is giving us a new prespectic. Hopefully we can see more of this
Malfurion: alright fam I’m back… time for me to take another nap
This is so wholesome.
My heart broke with teldrassil fall , and my heart filled with joy after this , my night elf mage gonno rest now knowing that her people have found peace
I totally don't have a photo album of about 30 selphies my dk took smiling and laughing while "helping" people evacuating Teldrassil. Nope definitely not.
@@coreym3149 horde spy helping nelves
Bro just standing there 🗿
How touching that they are reunited again... Until the next time a catastrophic event tears them apart again.
Masochistic right? 😭
I've been watching too much Frieren. When an Elf who's lived as long as Tyrande is talking about all the years of strife, somewhere I can hear Frieren in the background scoffing, "It was a mere 20 years."
Seeing Tyrande so relieved and happy after all of her years of anguish it really teared me up
Looks like Teldrassil is going to be a zone with a city again in the future. I have to admit Im surprised. I thought Blizzard was done with that place and that it would just stay as a horrible reminder of BFA.
I am just happy they scrapped whatever they had planned with this Ysera / Malfurion swap lol
its about time blizzard has an emotional genuine scene, shouldnt of taken nearly 20 years to have a couple show there love in a cut scene on top of that a touching family moment.
Im so happy these in game cut scenes are so common now, it truly makes the world feel that much more alive.
Oh a night elf cinematic that doesn't come with something endangering them or their home? *Finally.* Although Malfurion was gone which I think was silly, I'll give them an applause for this beautiful scene. May the kaldorei rest now, and reunite stronger and more independent.
"I missed you, beloved..."
"Look! It's Banshee Queen!"
"Tyrande freaks out with her weapons ready.
"Made you look!"
"Beloved, I love you forever and I missed you very much... but do that again and you will join her in her sentence!"
This is a truly great moment!
1:39 i cant man. i cant. every time i see Shandris' face here my heart just melts and i break into tears. its so adorable. I just wanna stretch my arms out and hug her myself.
Same! She has that look on her face that says "Mom? Dad? You're actually here?" and is both bewildered and happy all at once.
Shandris deserves that hug just as much if not more than those two did. People only talk about the hardships Malfurion and Tyrande have gone through while completely ignoring their daughter who has been their the whole time. In SL she spent the whole time trying to stop her mom from literally tearing herself apart because of her desire for revenge. Then (5years later) in DF she had to watch her dad willingly sacrifice himself to bring back Ysera, and the heartbreak it caused her mother.
Had someone noticed that the Soundtrack of Zin‘Azshari was played? 🥲 It reminds me of the time in BfA, flying through Nazjatar.
they absolutely nailed this in every way i’m so happy !!
Alright, you got me to shed a tear with this one. Dang.
I AM IN A GLASS CASE OF EMOTIONS!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭
I cant get over how adorable Shandris just looks at them, goes from General to their daughter!
I was unsure who actually controlled Ashenvale anymore but I guess this confirms it being Night elven again. Feels good!
In Shadow's Rising it's implied the Horde Council pulled most of its people out of Night Elf lands. Only the Cenarion Circle and Earthen Ring members of the horde go their now. They kept Azshara though because its so heavily built up. Ingame stuff is heavily outdated and needs a Cata-style revamp.
Me too, I'm very glad the Colonizer are finally OUT.
It a great reunion but its still stupid that he wasn't in the last patch when other members of the night fea were they real dont know what do with him do they
This touch my heart, seeing shandris with her beloved family once more...
I was waiting for this so many years.... So happy to see them together
it always gets me when they part and it shows shandris looking so vulnerable before they invite her for a hug. why is it raining in my room.
I was actually crying, with shoulders heaving and everything. And I rarely cry. They just keep one-upping themselves. This amazing family moment for Malfurion, Tyrande, and Shandris was so well done, from the acting to the animation. Just...wow.
I blieve that's the first kiss we have ever seen in World of Warcraft! neat
As a NE main, I love this cutscene. But some of the comments below batshaming Malfurion Tyrande etc really don't know the lore behind these characters or just haven't read the books, played WC3 or are just plain dumb. Just let us have this moment!
Es primera vez que vemos un beso en toda la historia de warcraft si lo piensan
Totalmente
If there is one thing that this expansion has done it is really sell that Malfurion and Tyrande are in a loving relationship. You'd get the odd "my love" in WCIII and WCIII:TFT and you'd get told in text that they loved one another now and then in WoW... but the game really never put in the work to sell their relationship.
In Dragonflight we have multiple examples of them being together, speaking softly to one another, hugging, and now they even kiss. Extra points for actually showing Shandris as their daughter rather than a business associate who occasionally calls Tyrande her mother.
Dragonflight may get a little silly at times with certain things but I rank it up there with WoTLK and MoP as one of the best expansions we've had.
damn... Tyrande can KISS?!
Tyrande used /kiss ;-)
We reclaimed Gilneas, We now have confirmation for Teldrassil, *and* that moment between Tyrande and Malfurion? Damnit Blizz I didn't have a triple whammy tear jerker on my 2024 Bingo card!
😢😢😢 it's... beautiful, very beautiful😭😭😭
I'm not crying.
You're crying.
This was truly a lovely moment... Makes me feel sad about my boy Illidan tho.
It's been 10.000 bloody years and he was friendzoned from day one...
I can't remember even one kiss scene in WoW, that must be first, and it's so beautiful :3
Man, animations are so nice and proper also lovely cinematic at the same time.
