@@Sardavinaenergy Malfurion took her place in Ardenweald so she can return to the living. She is returning now thought so we assume Malfurion will come back again.
I remember just casually burning thru quests barely immersed, and then Ysera dies. Pulled me right out of my seat. In hindsight, that was a great zone. Emerald Nightmare was fun. Also the world quests there weren’t the worst either
1:37 Ysera: "I shall not be far. ... ... ... No seriously, just go to any capital city with a portal room and I am just a portal jump and flight taxi away."
"If Azeroth needs me once again, just tell Malfurion... to die for a while. To a druid who has experience about falling asleep over ten thousand years, I have confidence to believe he will be used to this ritual!"
Alexstraza: I am grateful for the time we've had together Player: What time? You've been literally all over the Dragon Isles, fighting primalists, trying to get back your Aspectral powers.....you barely even said hello to her.
Ysera: it is time for me to return to Ardenweal. Me: oh ok so Malfurion is coming back then😊 The scene end Me: so Malfurion is coming back again right?🙂
they should have booted him out. i can just Imagin him popping out landing on his butt and you just see the winter queens foot retreating back into the portal. heh
To those who are saying things like: Ysera didn't really do anything. My father crossed over 20 years ago. What I would not give for *one hour* just to talk to him. To have him present in a way that ended when pancreatic cancer ate too far into him. So Ysera did a LOT for Merithra, just by being among the living again. It wasn't just a speech. It was her presence.
Yeah but what did the world need, for some dragon to be a little more confident or for the most powerful druid ever to exist to help defeat a fiery boy from burning a tree in the realm of life. I would argue malfurion would pop the f off as soon as he stepped foot in the source of druidic power. I understand your sentiment and it is touching but the story doesn't make sense for the level of impact Ysera had
But imagine what was given up. Tyrande gave up her husband. Any chance for her family to be complete in this lifetime so Ysera could come back for a limited time. It's not a fair trade in my opinion. Like, I wouldn't give up my wife just so I could speak with my grandfather again.
Ysera gives me a warm and comforted feeling that no other character in this game does. Since her death in legion, I always tear up when she’s on screen 😭
After losing my own mother during the pandemic, this scene hit hard 💙Beautiful job to the SFD team at Blizzard! Note to the other comment making fun of my mother’s death. (What is the actual point? How sad. @OOORCOOO?)
Ysera🥺🥺 Shes my favorite out of them all. Her story and death was extremely sad, it sucks she has to go back to the "dead realm"(?) ... im gonna miss her even more now🥺🥺💚 She will always be my true Green Flight leader and Dragon aspect favorite💚
I don't play wow for some good years now, but i love to see that this level of facial expressions and fluid animations in engine and in real time being more and more common place in wow, this is something that enhances so much moments like this, it was common for this to be just the characters standing there with a huge textbox and voice over, without these characters emotions being shown like they are in this video, that is wonderful and i'm glad they are doing it more, plus your character get's to be a part of the moment as well, even if he just stands there, i appreciate that, congrats to the animation team, this a really well done job.
Wait, so does this mean Malfurion is coming back? Or did he just sacrifice himself for a pep-talk? How do you think the conversation goes when he sees that Ysera just decided to return to the afterlife?
basically yes, in an interview they said that they are too bad writers to have two nightelve leaders so he had to go, ofc without directly admitting they are shitty writers^^
I also loved Emberthal's and the new black aspect speech they had last tier patch. The voice acting was truly among the best in the entire series. That and sylvanas opening got BFA remain among the most impactful voice acting scenes I have seen from this game.
This was a very beautiful scene. I can not wait to progress this far in-game. This is so heartwarming. Yet... it is so sad as well. I am happy she had gotten a second chance to say goodbye.
I mean, while the moments between Ysera & Merithra were high points in this story, what purpose did her return actually serve? She didn’t seem to do enough to justify it, imo. Ysera needed to play a bigger role to better explain the trade with Malfurion.
... So let me see if I've got this. We sacrificed Malfurion to emergency call Ysera back from the dead. It ended up being a pep talk for Melithra. And now she's gone again. I swear to god if we don't get Malfurion back. Does Blizzard just enjoy making Tyrande suffer?
@@Maskyzx Was it actually though? The way I saw it malfurion was the price for bringing Ysera back, not as a token to hold her spot in Ardenweald until she returns. I think if we want to bring back Malfurion a similar price needs to be paid
With our portals to the afterlife they dont need to be sad anymore. You can easily go visit uncle remus or aunt judy at any time after they pass one, just take a little stroll to the portal room. Bing bang boom in and out, 10 minutes. Home in time for supper.
"All time is borrowed. And in this, there is beauty". Easy for her to say, she know where she goes in the afterlife and it's a paradise where she can live her afterlife pretty much the same way she lived her life. Minus the struggles, conflicts and pain. Beyond that, her return to Ardenweald pretty much make the drama between Tyrande and Malfurion pointless.
I lost my mom at the start of BfA, a week before it launched she passed. That line of "I will always need you" literally just shattered me and im in tears.
Imagine being such a sad person, you have to mock and make fun of someone’s death in another comment by mocking it in this one. What a horrible person you must be man. I can’t even imagine how low you’ve been in your life to do stuff life that.
Have you ever watch in mirror at yourself right after awakening? Ysera just stepped through portal. 10-20 mins to find Malfurion, some time to wake him. Some morning coffee after it... a LOT of coffee. He could not apper through the same portal even in an hour.
Soooooooo.... is that it? She came back for... what, for her to do next to nothing and spend barely any time actually interacting with anyone, all we get is a nice enotional beat at the end and now she's just heading back to Ardenweald? We gave up the chance to have Malfurion, THE foremost of Druids who's spent nore time in the dream than almost anyone, leading us through the emerald dream and finally getting to show how dangerous and powrful he could be, we gave up that chance so Merithra could get a little pep talk?
I feel like in the initial outline of Dragonflight they must of had Ysera coming back as aspect for the expanision and then handing it off to Merithra here at the end, but then they changed their minds and had Merithra get it at the start.. which left Ysera with nothing to really do.
Dragons dont go to the shadowlands. Ysera was a special case. Also Deathwing's soul was digested by N'zoth before he even died, there is no afterlife for him. Deathwing was just an empty husk being controlled by the old gods.
Ysera has earned her rest. Sudden and saddening as it was to lose her in Legion, this needs to be the last time she returns. Now let Merithra use this opportunity to lead the Green Dragonflight and move forward.
I assume she went back through the portal to get Malfurion so he can come back. I'm so glad to have closure between Ysera, Alex, and Meri. I love those characters so deeply, and blizzard gave them the story they needed to have
Meanwhile, the Maw Walker next to everyone. "It's sad so see Ysera go... So anyway, let me know when you want to pop into Ardenweald for a visit, okay? We can make a nice trip out of it." It kinda cheapens death a bit when we've got portals right to Orobos in our capital cities...
They just swapped places for the time being. It was a sacrifice because they didn't know how long Ysera needed to help the Dragonflights and the Emerald Dream before returning. Also, the possibility of Ysera dying again during a war with the Primalists is a problem.
i absolutely adore ysera, when she died i died :( but fr can we appreciate the amazing work the team did on the facial expressions in this cinematic? ysera’s in particular were perfect
I like Merithra but man.....Ysera has a special place in my heart
As did malygos and neltharion. Even though they went a bit mad.
Same here. Always loved her the most since I started playing back in Wrath.
1) gets a new model
2) gets shelved 15 minutes of screen time later
Trully tragic
@@Gapis321It is the blizz way!
No one can replace Ysera…bummed to have lost her to the Ardenweald…….

Ysera meets the Winter Queen and Malfurion is allowed to return to Azeroth. Malfurion just swapped places for a temporary amount of time.

I have to say the in game cinematics are getting better slowly but surely, I loved this cinematic.
And it's confirmed, they just wanted Malfurion out of the story so the horde can stand a chance in discussion threads.
RIP
had a visual bug where Merithra was just a checkered cube in the cinematic, so thanks for rewatching it with the right graphics here :)
This whole expansion has felt like watching a teen drama
Its no wonder Classic is so popular... No Warcraft to see in this entire expansion...
It’d be so funny if malfurion pulls a goku and goes “Yeah, but I don’t wanna go back.”
How much you wanna bet a moment after the screen went black, another portal opened and Malfurion gets yeeted through it?
Fuckin’ Malfurion Will Be Back !!!
a very nice cutscene! I wish Ysera had more to do while she was here, but still.
wait why did we bring her back? She didn't really end up doing much of anything.
To solve Minthara mommy issues. That’s the whole reason.

"Yeah, it was like a month or two ago"

For some reason, this Ysera goodbye is way more emotional .
beautiful cinematic! I really love the animations in this one

The hugs WoW expansión JSJSJSJS 😂😂😂
Ysera is like all best friends she is so comfy to have around…love our dreamer …
There are too many elves and elf-shaped "dragons" having boring conversations in this expansion
so...what happens to Malfurian? he sacrificed him self to bring Ysera back...but now she just heads on back and he is what stuck in the shadowlands?
They just swapped places for the time being. It was a sacrifice because they didn't know how long Ysera needed to help the Dragonflights and the Emerald Dream before returning. Also, the possibility of Ysera dying again during a war with the Primalists is a problem.
Malfurion: Why the f... did you close that portal before i could come back?!
i started getting teary eyed when marithra and Ysera showed there mother and daughter bond with a hug so wholesome :`)
So since Ysera is returning to Ardenweald, will Malfurion be allowed to come back?
Does Malfurion stay in the Shadowlands then? Even though Ysera has returned to that place?
So where TF is malfurion?
i absolutely adore ysera, when she died i died :( but fr can we appreciate the amazing work the team did on the facial expressions in this cinematic? ysera’s in particular were perfect

looks like merithra is now a new green dragon aspect for now.
And now that we're entering the world soul saga, the stormrage brother's might be back to fighting together again.
I was waiting for her to yeet Malfurion out of the portal before it closed
1) why does every character has to speak so solemnly all the time? 😅
2) there's really no good excuse to keep Ysera out of the story.
Because it's all a happy little disney story now and we all love each other, no harsh words allowed
