His hair is white and his skin is purple in the future flashforward
Hrm - explicit negative consequences which are played as a fault that are in some fashion not entirely a consequence of him being a victim may be required. This implies negative character development rather than positive, so I suppose for them to fully make good on this negative residual consequences will be necessary.
To be fair, it would be lame if he wouldn't change.
I'm suprised that he is only possessed and not dead-taken over.
So far the jailer is a very softie of a baddie. He captured people, who got saved, we come and go in his realm, he took the key from the bastion chick which she survived. He caputred anduin, forshadowed something very bad, "your choice Sylvanas!" yadda yadda, turns out he is only possessed and got a cool sword. So anduin stabbed the bastion chick and she survived. Wow such emo moment.
I mean...
interesting facts from other interviews
-Anduin's sword is called "Kingsmourne"
-Sylvanas' actions influenced Anduin's future and Anduin's future actions affect Sylvanas.
What are you talking about? I hope you dont mean Arthas? He didn´t kill a single person. Stratholm was full of scourge, all he ever killed was scourge.
Specially when you say to clear conscience.. that would prove that you have no idea about what you say. But I want to believe that you mean someone else than Arthas.
The abiding problem of Anduin as a character is that absolutely no one who's not an evil strawman ever has any issue with and nothing he experiences ever shifts his perspective. A change then would involve firstly having one (1) positive character take issue with him and have that character be cast as the right or alternatively have him be the object of general mistrust. The second part would require him to change his views for once, be it making him less trusting, more withdrawn, more cowardly, etc. Both would be contingent on lasting more than a patch, so we avoid the Jaina situation where she has a cutscene worth where she wants to avenge her dad and drown the Horde only to revert to being uwu and friendly and loved by Kul Tiras at the end of the questing experience.
@Devilyaki
You joke, but while Anduin isn't Lordaeronian or even undead, by virtue of having his will taken from him by a runeblade and puppeted by dark powers, a hypothetical traumatized Anduin would be more thematically qualified to lead the Forsaken than Calia. Especially in the unlikely event the Blue Man sends him to kill some humans to really up the trauma. This says more about Calia than him though.

So, what if Anduin end-up being the bloodthirsty zealot while Turalyon and Genn becoming the sane ones aka Anduin is the next Garrosh-Sylvanas?

What effect can mind control give you? that is now made even worse by horde soldiers who are not mentally controlled? Be even more pacifist.
Well I was hoping that Anduin dies but it is clear that we are going to have a good time. For some time blizzard of all the Pj that developed decided to stay with the most boring.
Note that the other options were Sylvanas, Trall and Varian.
Truthfully, this is likely a waste of a character, to try to recapture a story perfected in WC3.
he will become Sylv's husbando. Calling it!
It's good to know some elements of his change will be permanent - I don't think anyone can experience what Anduin will experience and emerge close to the same as they were. It's my hope that this change is reflected both visually and fundamentally in his character, as well; an indelible mark of his transformation even though he may be freed from the Jailer's control.
"We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

This world don't give us nothing. It be our lot to suffer... and our duty to fight back.
Anduin being mindcontrolled shouldn't have been revealed so early. They should have used this for a bit, maybe make him infiltrate Bastion, explore more of this "it's anduin but it's not really him" situation
...that's just my opinion, anyway.
All of this cosmological stuff is too boring for me. I'd like to get Warcraft back, please. my thing is killing defias and orcs.
