His armor doesn't match; It has no Phoenix motifs.

God forbid a king would have more than one good shirt.

[Lorca]

It's gonna be a very, very long day, team. Stay strong. (Let's cross fingers... and hope we finally get for some real Forest Trolls!!)

[Wildmoon]

Is the consensus here that the leaked cinematic characters are not fake?

[Wangming]

Well that sure would explain it, I hadn't seen the teaser so I'll eat humble pie there. It really does look off on those details to me, but maybe that's a factor of the quick snippit delivery.

Here you go:

YOu need a slow replay speed and pause at the right time, but these are official Blizz stuff. It won't get more legit than this.

[Super Dickmann]

Ok but... that is something they would to to make her easy to fit on the screen in cutscenes similar to what they did with the dragons... Do I like it no but it is very blizzard & wouldnt be to hard to explain just say she was enlightened by Azeroth who undid the naga curse somehow

Yes, and that part of Dragonflight was awful, it was the elf variety hour with Ebonhorn as the token black (cow) man. Azshara is perfectly humanoid enough to participate in cutscenes, at least as much as the Incarnate humanoid forms. It's not like she's a big fish and they have to make it emote.

[Nymrohd]

You know what makes me thing the Elf Azshara may be real? The addition of her original dress in the game.

[extasy]

God, I can't wait for the cinematic so people can shut up about the fake Azshara.

Or people to shut up about it being AI. It goes both ways really.

[Limayria]

good luck and god speed gamers I'll see you on the other side (im going to bed so no more shit post)

[JDBlou]

Blizz let me have this, please. It would be so awesome, it would be so cool.

[Super Dickmann]

Is the consensus here that the leaked cinematic characters are not fake?

No, there's just a notable lack of any interesting leaks so we're circling around the remains like famished vultures.

[Enrif]

God, I can't wait for the cinematic so people can shut up about the fake Azshara.

and what if the cinematic confirms the "fake" CGI? can these people gloat at you and others for "not believing" it?

[Nymrohd]

There is no consensus but they are no longer dismissed completely.

[Casualist34]

Felorc demon hunter would be intersting. Maybe similiar look like this female DH artstyle https://www.artstation.com/artwork/eJPE06

Male version would have strong Hellboy vibe with metamorph being too huge. I rather have new class with bow/gun/glave combo or nightborn DH race then orc reskin but again blizz do easier options ( reskins ).

[Reive]

from the reactions, i really hope the cinematic leak is fake otherwise some of you guys may not be here tomorrow lol

[Lahis]

Fel orcs aren't what we play though and are red because they've been force fed the blood of Magtheridon by Illidan.

Demon Hunters get demonic customization. If orcs could be demon hunters, would make sense they get the red or black-green fel variants as customization.

[Enrif]

Blizz let me have this, please. It would be so awesome, it would be so cool.

all classes with all races. the dream will comes true... some day

[Wyrt]

If Blizzard does something as stupid as making Azshara into a basic night elf no one would recognize then go ahead and gloat. I'm not sure what you'll have won, because we all lose if Blizzard is that dumb.

[Wangming]

Ok but... that is something they would to to make her easy to fit on the screen in cutscenes similar to what they did with the dragons... Do I like it no but it is very blizzard & wouldnt be to hard to explain just say she was enlightened by Azeroth who undid the naga curse somehow

Or she is, you know, a vision.

[Dnusha]

Why are you people so OBSESSED with things "making sense" from a lore perspective,

It's an endless fight between narrative and lore coherency and novelty and the rule of cool. Both are needed, and when implementing something new, it should be according to established lore but also require something new and cool, and sometimes that occurs at the cost of established lore. As long as there is a balance between them, new things are accepted by the community, but sometimes they aren't, and players lose interest in the product because of that (Shadowlands).

[extasy]

and what if the cinematic confirms the "fake" CGI? can these people gloat at you and others for "not believing" it?

Oh you can bet i will. people, who believe those shots are real, are still very skeptical (including me). Some people here are very aggressive tho, calling others to shut up about it and saying words like "impossible to be real, definitely AI". It's going to be fun today for sure.
