"Why do we fight? To protect Home, and Family... To preserve Balance, and bring Harmony. For my kind, the true question is: What is worth fighting for?" -Chen Stormstout
"To ask why I drink is to ask why I am fat. It is because I drink. Perhaps there is a better question. Why do I drink? To quench my thirst. To lower my inhibitions. To make women appear more attractive. For my kind, the true question is: Where is the bathroom?"- Chen Stormstout "angry" greeting.
Mist was one of my favorite expansions, if not the favorite. For some reason it so fun playing arena, but that's probably because I played Mage, their machanics we're incredibly fun.
Chen: "To protect home, and family. To preserve balance, and bring harmony. For my kind, the true question is: What is worth fighting for?" Shao-Hao: "For home, and family. For the people I protect. For them, I would give my final breath."
When I first saw this cinematic, I stood in aw for about 10 minutes. Those last few seconds where he says "What, is worth fighting, for?" I was totally blown away.
+Angelina Tirone It's truly incredible. It has that majestic, sweeping uniquely-Oriental sound. The whole track is killer. But I get shivers from then on, till the end.
I love how when MoP was active, people constantly bashed it. But now that we have this shitstorm that is WoD, people finally begin to realize that MoP was a really good expansion. It's definitely up there with BC and WotLK.
+TheYangarang Same will happen once Legion's out. People will always find reasons to hate the "new stuff". Suddenly, WoD or Cata won't have been as bad anymore. Yet people keep playing the stuff they "oh so hate". Idiots, all of 'em.
+TheYangarang How in God's green earth was it good ? It r4ped and murdered the talents, completely destroying what was left behind the great talent butchering in Cataclysm; replaced them with generic perks, identically copy pasta'd into ALL the specs. Removed reforging of attributes. MoP effectively cut character customization's balls. WoD changed nothing, literally nothing. And in the distance, Legion removes glyphs and adds "artifact weapons" with token depth and no real choice. And removes all gear in PVP thus no more customization of any kind.
The most important thing I've learned in all my journeys is... balance. Work and play. Good and bad. Right and wrong. Honor. Tradition. A good brew. And most especially... family. These are things that bring me balance. These are the things I fight for!
Work, and play. Good, and bad. Right, and wrong. A good brew! ... and most importantly, _family_. These are the things that bring me balance! _These are the things I fight for!_
Notice how the music changes when the Pandaren enters the fray. It's no longer the dark and foreboding tune - suddenly it's almost... lighthearted and funny, to show that the Pandaren wasn't truly fighting the Orc and the Knight, rather he was toying with them.
Ok, I just had the best moment in-game right now. I just looted the Headless Horsemount's mount when this song was playing at 3:28. I've almost had a heart attack.
Not to be confused with the Headless Horseless Horsemann. TF2 and WoW fan say what! (nah man but a collab of those two characters would be like another Gumby and Pokey)
Yang Tommy As an austrian player, I have to say that they captured the spirit of Arnold Schwarzenegger very well with Hans'gar and Fran'zok in Blackrock foundry. I don't actually wish the abomination that is austrian folk music upon the world. At least not with vocals. Instrumental is fine. I don't like it, but it's not objectively bad that way.
Honestly, I don't understand why everyone is hating on Blizzard lately. I love their games and all of WoW's expansions. All of you haters can go play Minecraft for all I care.
I agree. I've enjoyed WoW since vanilla and had a blast each expansion. Even though WoD gets a ton of hate, I feel it has the most immersion of any expansion yet.
+Jason Blueheart Most people hate on it for it's general lack of content (2 patches, 3 raids, garrisons). To me it's 100% justified, but whatever you feel is up to you.
Some peoples brain just cant take the fact that creating an expansion while supporting live game is completely different from making whole new game with no deadlines....
Players should be able to critique Blizzard if they feel the game is going in the wrong direction. Alienating those players and wanting them to go play other games is very narrow minded
***** The garrisons were pretty fun and cool when they were new although I admit they got stale pretty quickly towards end game. But no I'm not fucking retarded, I'm a person with an opinion, and did you not not touch any content other than garrisons the entire expansion or are you utterly insane, is the question you should ask yourself.
So I guess I'm the only one who didn't enjoy 14 months of the same raid that was boring after the first month, the PvP where 5.0-5.2 if you weren't an arms warrior you couldn't kill shit, the pvp from 5.3-5.4 where raid gear beat PvP gear, and the timeless isle grinding? And let's not forget the piss easy heroics that were soloable with the first tier of raid gear.
Gogito4 I actually enjoyed Cata. Except for the insane amount of time we had Dragon Soul, but the HoT heroics are still my favorite dungeons in the game.
Dieser Song ist so nostalgisch. Richtig Gänsehaut. "Warum kämpfen wir? Um unser Zuhause und unsere Familie zu beschützen. Um Balance und Harmonie zurückzubringen.
say what you want but for me is mists of pandaria one of the best wow-addons simply because i like the aspect of the monks and that you don't have to immediately chooose between horde and alliance.... also pandas ftw!!!
Countless hours of research into Chinese music have probably gone into Blizzard's music department. And they finished it off with a briliant soundtrack that resonates with "West meets East". Bravo, Blizzard.
_Oh god._ _Wait._ _Why am I crying?_ _WHY AM I CRYING?_ *_THIS IS TOO EPIC FOR ME TO HANDLE_* *_AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGH!_*
I have the collectors Edition too and Im gonna have to put it on my pc as Im wearing the cd out! Blizzard's soundtracks are always amazing was worried this one would be a let down but I was so wrong!
I played the Mandalorian credits theme right after the music cut off. Not gonna lie- pretty epic. Makes you wonder what would be going on during this track.
I saw the cinematic, on the day it was released on the site. And yet, i find this one of the best songs (and intros) WoW ever had. This theme, is one of the best ever, and it is perfectly fitting for the CGI that accompanies it. I always smile from 2:00 forward. It really shows that Chen is 'playing' with them ^^
This music gives me the 'spirit' to actually wake up early in the morning to work hard for the comfort and safety of loved ones, for restoration of the world's harmony, and of course, to manifest my dreams into reality. That's my fight. What is your fight?
Dunno why but I just love that bit at 0:37 when you first hear the Mists of Pandaria theme on the single horn. Works especially well in the cinematic, as all the sound stops at that point.

just..awesome!
Man the guy who created this music has to be a genius.
+TheChranixLive Neal Acree has been Blizzard' cinematic composer since BC, he even got a yt profile :P
Or a composer.
agreed. this is the most epic part of that expansion. well...the ONLY epic part of that expansion.
Dont forget Russel Brower
Mist was one of my favorite expansions, if not the favorite. For some reason it so fun playing arena, but that's probably because I played Mage, their machanics we're incredibly fun.
I am telling you we are gonna miss the Mists of Pandaria so much, I can already feel the nostalgia.
You were so fucking right holy shit
lmao true
haven´t played it but darn I miss it.
true
you were fucking right
Chen: "To protect home, and family. To preserve balance, and bring harmony. For my kind, the true question is: What is worth fighting for?"
Shao-Hao: "For home, and family. For the people I protect. For them, I would give my final breath."
boner
still a masterpiece....i miss MOP
Spoken by a true warrior😌
The end of this track is out of this world, doubt I'll ever get tired of hearing it.
Ya han pasado 10 años... Ya te canso!?.
It is not out of this world...
But you will never get tired of hearing it. ;3
Sure as hell one of the best World of Warcraft soundtracks. Epic.
To be fair.. When has Warcraft's soundtrack have been bad? I mean, if Blizz does 2 things right, is animation in the cinematics and the music!
I don't even play the game and I really like this music
+Noah Daglio Can't say I'm surprised to hear that :) WoW has some fo the best music written for anything ever, really.
so start play and play by zombie, like zombies in dimir, i love dimir zombie aggro
+Adam Lewandowski wtf is wrong with u? that's the bumbest comment I ever heard , who gives a fuck about some zombies dude?
Adam Lewandowski You mean Undead ? They suck .
YOU NEED PLAY WOW MAN...is the best game ever made!

I just finished today the whole campaing with the Pandaria Remix event... What a great expansion this was...
I live & breathe for 2:50 and on. Last 30 seconds give me an eargasm.
I heard eargasm lol
+Angelina Tirone It's truly incredible. It has that majestic, sweeping uniquely-Oriental sound. The whole track is killer. But I get shivers from then on, till the end.
from 2:30 its so good
3:23 HOLY SWEET EARDRUMS THAT SOUNDS GOOD
do not forget about Anduins journey !!!
You realize how good a game was, when you come back to it every week for years. Can't stop listening to this.
still listening ? :D
@@alexfury5281 yes
@@Zagrash me too :D but i must say Arthas My Son is the best ^^ the Warcraft Lore is Just So Epic, sad they Failed the Movie in 2016

Why did I play?... Because of the music of course.

Err... i was talking to firekiri :( but u are mah friend too :3

All these years later and this still stands out as one of the best pieces to be produced on a wow soundtrack.

Anyone else get chills listening to this?
one of the best endings ive ever heard along with "the golden lotus" and "vale healing" tracks.
Whenever I play this soundtrack, I don't listen to it only once :D
I get chills everytime i hear this music. Its just .. .amazing
As a Chinese player, i really have to say, Blizzard did his homework on how to capture the essence of traditional Chinese music.
Yang Tommy As an austrian player, I have to say that they captured the spirit of Arnold Schwarzenegger very well with Hans'gar and Fran'zok in Blackrock foundry.
I don't actually wish the abomination that is austrian folk music upon the world. At least not with vocals. Instrumental is fine. I don't like it, but it's not objectively bad that way.
Mists of Pandaria, probably the most underrated expansion ever. I loved every minute of it.
2 Weeks after WoD came out, I was already MoP nostalgic, and still am.

to get more fucking gear
to git gud
Nome Sobrenome For my kind, the true question is: What gear is worth fighting for?
Turedain better gear
Nome Sobrenome One does not simply "get more fucking gear" my friend.
Turedain Legendaries, bruh. I need my [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker].
The choir at the very end always brings the feels... *goosebumps*
the Greatest Expansion ever. HANDS DOWN.
So I guess I'm the only one who didn't enjoy 14 months of the same raid that was boring after the first month, the PvP where 5.0-5.2 if you weren't an arms warrior you couldn't kill shit, the pvp from 5.3-5.4 where raid gear beat PvP gear, and the timeless isle grinding?

Jellyfrosh Heh, at least it wasn't Cata :P
Gogito4 I actually enjoyed Cata. Except for the insane amount of time we had Dragon Soul, but the HoT heroics are still my favorite dungeons in the game.
Cata started great and fell, after they downgraded the bosses life in the first raid, i think it was black wing lair, by up to 40%, damage aswell.
I thought the dungeons in Legion were way better.
I would pay copious amounts of money to hear this being played live.
Dieser Song ist so nostalgisch.
Richtig Gänsehaut.
"Warum kämpfen wir? Um unser Zuhause und unsere Familie zu beschützen. Um Balance und Harmonie zurückzubringen.
Ja gut,falsch ist das nicht. xD
I agree with you. This is possibly their most amazing soundtrack so far. Mixing western and eastern music together is just amazing.
1:23 - 1:45 This is best part for me.. Full of power! For Pandaria
"For my kind, the true question is: what is worth fighting for..."
3:23 "For my kind the true question is: What is worth fighting for?"
Jack Pedersen to protect home and family
+Erin Godanci To get that fucking mount already
Because that feral druid called me a scrublord.
say what you want but for me is mists of pandaria one of the best wow-addons simply because i like the aspect of the monks and that you don't have to immediately chooose between horde and alliance.... also pandas ftw!!!
i just love how mighty the end of the song is
3:28 unbelievably beautiful. eye-wateringly majestic.
Me as Trainer:
"Tell me this: "Why do you fight?"
The violin right at the beginning of the track just kills it.
I don't even play this game, but this is epic!
you should start
I remember people for hating MoP because of pandas and it wasn't the expansion they wanted.
I remember fools.
Back then in 2012 - 2014 I played WoW so much that I never played the expansion itself, but the cinematic gave me memories..
I certainly did. Even though I could extract all these files, there's something nice about having a properly edited and selected soundtrack.
Yea the music has always kept me coming back for more. Everytime I hear a track I want to play.
To Battle,to the ARENA,TO THE FIELD OF JUSTICE ! .. For Lordaeron,for the Alliance !
Lordaeron is pretty much like dead.
And their only remants are in control of the plague.
***** agree :)
FOR THE HOOOOORDEE!!
"Honour, tradition, a good brew! But most of all, family. These are what bring me balance, these are what i fight for."
one of the best game music ever! also one of the best WoW ever!
Countless hours of research into Chinese music have probably gone into Blizzard's music department. And they finished it off with a briliant soundtrack that resonates with "West meets East".
Bravo, Blizzard.
Music and cinematics. Blizzard excels at that.
2:57 and the goosebumps starts
yeah, this music really moves something inside you.
_Oh god._
_Wait._
_Why am I crying?_
_WHY AM I CRYING?_
*_THIS IS TOO EPIC FOR ME TO HANDLE_*
*_AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGH!_*
stahp.
The part from 2:57 is amazing!
This music sound like a post apocalyptic survival music after a big war
For Pandaria !
I must admit that WoW's soundtrack just keep getting better and better.
Don't say anything, just listen because nothing can't describe this " find a word as good as this song " !
always gives me chills
I always get chills in the first 20 seconds and the last 40.
The best expansion of all, much better than WOD/A melhor expansão de todas,muito melhor que WOD!
+Thalisson Pereira yeeeee not the best but in the top 3
>BURNING CRUSADE
?????????????????
lol
So nostalgic.
Good old days.
love this soundtrack
*Looks at the Sake Bottle in the Background* Oh, i know what you're fighting for ppl. I know well.
"To ask why we fight is to ask why leaves fall... It is in our nature" {Epic Fade}
Agreed. This song is so incredible.
FINALLY!!! BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SINCE THE CINEMATIC WAS RELEASED
Blizzard's Composers are Maestro. Especially this expansion, They got Jeremy Soule. Jeremy is a friend of Russell Brower.
I have the collectors Edition too and Im gonna have to put it on my pc as Im wearing the cd out! Blizzard's soundtracks are always amazing was worried this one would be a let down but I was so wrong!
I played the Mandalorian credits theme right after the music cut off. Not gonna lie- pretty epic. Makes you wonder what would be going on during this track.
The ending just makes you want to go to some beautiful natural place and just do a panoramic shot.
What does a hero truelly need? Nice sentence, comin' close to "To ask why we fight is to ask why the leaves fall".
This part 2:07 inspired from "Fisherman's Song of the East China Sea". I remember hear this one in Kung Fu Hustle :)
Playing WoW since I was 6. That would have been 7 years ago. In my opinion, MoP is the best expansion yet.
Awesomeness...
Take me back.
i take you back again :D hope you enjoy it^^
NICE MUSIC THE BEST OF THE GAME
Truly a legendary expansion!
And yes, I've played since Vanilla - I've seen every expansion and this is by far the most creative expansion so far.
Also, after seeing the cinematic and hearing this music, my love of WoW returned.
Thanks for uploading! I've been waiting for this since I heard in trailer.
I love this *_* Why do we fight ... we fight for the family and frends
I was looking for this track months ago, although I'll buy the collectors ed as well. Epic music right here.
I saw the cinematic, on the day it was released on the site. And yet, i find this one of the best songs (and intros) WoW ever had. This theme, is one of the best ever, and it is perfectly fitting for the CGI that accompanies it.

It's an absolutely fantastic ending. I get chills.
Just Amazing !!!
We did it 1M views
I've never heard such an amazing soundtrack...
2:50 till the end is amazing
2:48 to 3:43 .. pure awesomeness!! 'to ask what we fight for.. is to ask what we live for'
Oh my God, that almost made me cry. Epic!
This is such a good piece of music! It really brings out the fighting spirit in someone!
And yes, the ending part is epic beyond comparison! =)
Dunno why but I just love that bit at 0:37 when you first hear the Mists of Pandaria theme on the single horn. Works especially well in the cinematic, as all the sound stops at that point.
God, i miss this.
