The War Campaign Finale Cinematics

[Army Dreamer]

WTF have I just watched?

[LilSaihah]

So I'm not really sure what's happened. It doesn't seem to have really resolved the plot. Is the War Campaign ending just the end of the War Campaign and the story'll continue with the factions working together, or are we onto the next expansion?

[Stormdash]

TL;DR the Horde have been trash the whole time, everything you thought you were playing for about Honor and being the misfit outcasts banding together, that was all bullshit. Source? Saurfang and Sylvanas BOTH. So enjoy being the new unifaction which is essentially the Horde are now allied races within the Alliance.

[Asotcha]

Didn't watch the cinematics but I have one question I'd like an answer : Does your choices matters? Especially concerning the : Support the Rebel or Support Sylvanas, does it have an impact in the quest and aftermatch?

I haven't read all the replies so I dunno if anyone said yet, but Loyalists get an extra cutscene, I hear.

Just as I said all along. Banshee Queen was just using everyone for her own selfish desires. She did not care as long as she got what she wanted!!!

[Akutare]

Hey, Anduin, it looks like you forgot you could just resurrect people. Why not do that?

This cinematic needed Sylvanas to stop to eat a puppy.

[Musta]

SO can we finally dismiss the shadowlands leak?

I love the 'taking war out of warcraft' posts.

Alliance and new Horde teaming up against the bigger evil was always part of warcraft.

Having two factions that can't team up for m+ and raids in a pve centered game is stupid by now and I would be so glad to see having it removed. Half my friends play Alliance, other half plays Horde. I'm playing two chars right now because of that shit.

Nah, just force Horde players a race change to Human. Likely going to be World of Anduin from here on out for its story. Blizzard seem to be unable to character develop unless its him and his self righteous indignation.

sylvanas just dipped?

"This isn't Garrosh 2.0."

Sylvannas heel turn + escapes to setup next expansion.

"Ok this is totally Garrosh 2.0."

Let's not forget alliance and horde unite to beat the villain. That video and story would have been interesting like 7 years ago(okay, plot holes would still be plot holes)...but right now it feels like utter cheese. They tried hard to to create a heroic death for Saurfang...but unlike with Arthas they try way too hard and it makes too little sense. Why should Sylvanas suddenly freak out that close to victory? Why should she stop with just taking out Saurfang and not kill Thrall and Anduin along the way(it's not like her reputation still matters and she needs to play by the rules)? And everyone knows right away what Sylvanas words mean and is willing to back down from war? I mean, really? To call that all very 1 dimensional would still give it too much credit. That's stuff you can feed to elementary school kids...but the Warcraft community already grew up with the franchise for 15-20 years....so they are a bit old for that kind of very simple story.

Resurrection isn't really in the lore as a spell you can throw around.

And no, he didn't cast mass ress in the first BFA cinematic.

Let's face it: Everyone hoped there was more to that storyline than this. Unfortunately it seems like that was really all. No idea for what Blizzard hired professional writers...wasted money.

Most likely 8.3 will be centered around the theme of the next expansion. Just because the war campaign is over doesn't mean there's nothing new coming before 9.0.

Thank you for sharing your opinion.

Please don't speak for everyone though. I disagree with you, thus the first part of your statement is wrong.

Well that's really underwhelming storytelling.

[LedZeppelin]

They had to do 1v1 because otherwise its just SoO all over again

[Pacster]

This was easily the worst cinematic they have ever done. So disappointing. Can this expansion just be deleted.

Next expansion we will find Saurfang taking a shower under a waterfall and notice that it was all just a bad dream. Did such a plot line ever happen anywhere before? Well, who cares...recycling is "in".

Where are all those Syl die-hard fanboys now?

Proud to serve the only and true Queen.

You are just one very special snow flake...that's all.

[DeltrusDisc]

It was worse then I imagined... way to make game of thrones ending look like a masterpiece.

It actually ends with her learning magic and turning to smoke or something? Just wtf...

Banshee.

And about the cinematics... okay... now what?
