Four years later and this cinematic is still one of my favorites in the game.
AGREED
This was the single best part of BfA tbh. Whatever they did to get this story right, they should do the same with the main story.
the Alliance always gets the best cinematics
The Kul'Tiras/Jaina story arc is one of the best things wow ever did.
they did prirate of the caribbeans
Sailor: Lady Ashvane! Your orders?
Ashvane: It's.... It's just good business....
YES! Why is this comment so low? Loved this reference
i see you're a man of culture aswell!
That was my thought as well :P
Matthew Goodrick she is a corrupt businesswoman... The big difference between her and Cutler thou is she is the one taking orders from fish people!
Exactly where they got it from
jaina humming the song is the azeroth equivalent of singing "twinkle twinkle little star" then blasting someone in the face with a railgun
It is similar theme melody when pippin sings while faramir charges
Not to be rude, but that is not it. That little melody is part of a lullaby that used to be sung to her as a child, but when she got her father killed at Theramore for backing up Thrall, Kul Tiras changed the lyrics slightly and used it as a way to mock/spite her. So her humming it here, is kind of a way for her to say "Look at me now/I've changed" basically.
I see you two are a fan of Dead Space.
@@dreadninja7210 Agreed, the way this song changes meaning over the course of the expansion is one of my favourite things
"POP GOES THE WORGEN"
"That bloke in the red shirt over there told me I 'wasn't canon'. Well, obviously! I'm a mariner, not a cannon!"
Tandred Proudmoore, 2018
Tandred looks extremely macho, 9/10 men would love to look like that
Actually it was Chris Metzen who said he wasn't canon
9/10 women would love to look at that~ =p
Copied from another video of this Cinematic, good try tho.
*canonical
BFA should be retitled Jaina Carries the Alliance.
She must lead the Alliance the way she does it in WC3...
In truth she always did, but the Alliance has not always shown appreciation for that.
@@noctusowl Because Jaina's way is too Risky towards the Horde
@@silvergiovanni5336 Up to MoP it wasn't. But writers gave the Alliance deaf ears and blind eyes. And made the Horde bomb her city. Jaina was going to be the Mary Sue but since most faction warriors are Horde it proved overly unpopular so the writers steered towards Sylvannas instead. They had to leave Jaina cooling down for most of 2 Xpacs.
Sadly you're right.
No matter how many times I watch this I can't get over how badass it is when the Kul Tiran fleet shows up. Tandred is awesome.
Would have been better with the bit of dialogue though.
1:24 so satisfying, the lightning strike with bass and a sudden fleet.
ugh, i may have re-watched this several dozen times just for that.
Chills....chills...
Possibly the best-timed bass drop in all WoW cinematics, without irony.
Any idea of how the soundtrack is called ?
@@vgross0811 It's definitely up there, but the bass drop that came with "I AM A GOD!!!" from Azshara's warbringer short was also pretty epic.
@@ghicarares I would like to know too
"It seems, hope has returned... with you"
*Warbringers: Sylvanas*
"You can kill us... but you cannot kill hope"
Looks like Sylvanas has a new target to burn
can't she ?
You cannot burn ice
But you can burn a human who creates ice
you can't, because Anduin has a mass resurrection
And as she stood before the storm,
To save her family.
Upon her enemies, she let loose her cry,
“Beware the Daughter of the Sea!”
And as the pirates were successfully detained,
Traitors of country,
To the Horde she next set her sights:
"Beware! Beware of me!"
Cringe...
@@Jedin8_1966 I mean so did Rastakhan, but you know...
very nice.
@@JustAChinesePleb It wasn't that bad, child.
Can we talk about how Kul'Tiran men are just beefy daddies of the sea?
Um no just no.....
Oh yeah they arrre
RIGHT?! All hands on deck, dammit
Got me clutching my pearls!🙈
Yaaaass
My hat goes off for the guy that voiced the paniced sailor calling out to Lady Ashvane. I have never heard a better impression of someone who wish he wore the brown trousers. XD
That Mother-daughter moment had me in tears. I recently got into Warcraft lore, and I fell in love with Jaina.
I never fail to get goosebumps when Jaina calls the fleet home
You know how badass the fleet is when one of their own, traitor as she is, doesn't dare take them on in battle. She clearly hadn't planned on their arrival so you can clearly see the fear in her eyes.
Her ships were smaller and outnumbered, of course she wouldn't dare take them on in battle. That would be just plain stupide and suicidal.
That moment when the fleet appears in the clouds Is hands down my favorite moment of WoW ever
1:47 The cinematic team watched Pirates of the Caribbean 3 before making this.
I thought the same, the ending where the ship just blows up while the guy slowly walks into his doom. So awesome!
@@banescar He died awesome
It's just... good business...
kesselrunner ahahh beat me to it!
Yeah, i remembered that scene immediately :D
We all know Jaina could just snap her fingers and the Ashvane fleet would be toast...
"Captain I dont know whats happening, please I dont wanna go"
It's all good lady Ashvane you have a sequel coming in patch 8.1 lol
She thicc
Frozen! She is not a firemage shes Ice.
@@MrFantocan Hey, just want to clear out, the heroes of Azeroth like Jaina, Varian, Thrall and the others can be considered a multispec character,meaning they can perform all the unique abilities of all their specs, but tend to have an edge for a certain one. For example Jaina can use Arcane, Frost and Fire, but prefers Frost over others. Khadgar has the same thing but for the Arcane. Varian can " switch his spec" on fly by just spliting Shalamayne, Thrall can throw around lava and split skulls with Doomhammer etc
I loved Jaina's arc this expansion. She felt guilty, had redemption and did everything to save the alliance. She is in peace now
She will never be at peace. But now she has an anchor to hold on.
the metaphor couldnt be more on the nose
@@AndereundIch beautiful ❤
@@AndereundIch You can find peace through redemption.
THIS! The cinematics they make are absolute 100% greatness. You watch them and you want to play this game. You want to be part of the story! I watch them sometimes to get inspired when I feel down...
(in the voice of StarCraft Battlecruiser unit)
Who Summoned the Fleet?
Isnt it who called in the fleet?
yes but since Jaina teleported them it would be summoned
Battlecruiser operational!
only Jaina didnt Summon the Fleet. she basically destroyed the mist that kept the fleet trapped.
Nothing like an old amulet that summons a fleet of WC3 FT battleships.
Have to admin the Jaina story was so well done.
In fearful day, in raging night. With strong hearts full, our goals unite. When all seems lost and there is no strength to fight, look in yourself for hope burns bright.
I am not a wow player at all, but I could listen to this over and over again. It's just so good, expecially the "humming" to call the fleet home. So good
Laura Bailey(the voice actress) is amazing!
@@ProvidenceNL Is she the voice actress for Jaina since the beginning ?
Now THAT is how you make a cinematic!
"We're home, Tandred!"
"Pirates in our harbor!"
"Lets show them what Kul Tirans are made of."
FOR KUL'TIRAS!!
my favorite cinematic was the one with sylvanas going full banshee and yelling "FOR THE HORDE!" as a horde player whose interest in the game was dwindling it literally re-ignited my love for the game and my horde pride
blood and flesh
@@NishiTheRat Yes, but that's not an in-game cinematic. This one is.
@@mukwoorusilverhair4283 now that ive seen this again, its just the Warpstorm ending, from 40k. Not only did blizzard steal and butcher the entire IP of Warhammer, they cant even do anything themselves years after that. Kind of funny with the current situation
After almost 20 years... still in love with Jaina Proudmoore!
1:13 : Best soundtrack of all the WoW history, and we can't find it anywhere... It's a shame Blizz'...
What's name plz
Stop makin' me sweat with all these big, handsome boys, Blizzard.
Jaina: "Awaken my Fleet"
*AYYAYYAYYAYYYAAAA*
I really want the soundtrack of this cinematic.
ikr want it too
@@AlastorCreations SAME
its A Good War , BfA OST 19
It’s called “Jaina Theme Music” on youtube
I know!
This still gives me the chills even a year later
To give some perspective:
The kul tiran ships seem to be based on the real life capital ships known as a "Ship of the Line" which held anywhere from 50-200 cannons across multiple gun decks- anywhere from 1 to even 4 decks. They are called a "ship of the line" as the main stratwgy was to line a bunch of these up in a line and just fire full broadsides at once at the enemy. Sometimes having the ships moving past the enemy ships so each ship in the line got a turn to hit the enemy that way.
(For visual reference the ship that Becket uses, The Endeavor, in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and the Dauntless from the first one). A full broadside from a First Rate Ship of the Line (150+ cannons) was about 1 thousand pounds of force. It was literally enough to reduce another ship to splinters in seconds. With just 1 broadside. They were by far the largest and most powerful ships in the ocean during the age of sail.
And the Kul Tiran seems to be almost entirely made up of these massive ships.
Lets say theres 30 ships (the alliance fleet prior to Legion was said to be 100 ships)
Thats 30 THOUSAND pounds of force in 1 full broadside from all those ships at once if they were to all choose to fire on Ashvane's little fleet.
That was a good thought and an outstanding analysis, but you're overclassing them. The mainstay of the Kul Tiran fleet are frigates. Granted, they still have massive firepower over any other ship (save the Iron Horde's dreadnoughts), but not quite so much as a Ship of the Line. Which DOES exist in the game... in Lord Admiral Daelin Proudmoore's ship that Jaina raised from the depths. For added similarities to actual Tall Ships, the Alliance and Forsaken sail galleons, the Night Elves sail a kind of modified fluyt, and Ashvane's ships (the continent ferry ships) are brigantines.
Each of Ashvane's ships had 8 guns. Every Kul Tiran ship carried 24. That's 3:1 per ship match-up... you know, if the total number of ships had been equal for each side. Ashvane had a dozen. Tandred had 30+. The total gun disparity was something stupid like 8.5:1, and that's not even factoring in cannon tonnage. Tactically, the Kul Tirans were coming in from behind and flanking, with the winds at their backs, and could have easily turned and bombarded Ashvane's fleet with constant raking broadsides, with little to no chance for return fire before at least half the Kul Tiran fleet had sent a full broadside. Basically, in about 2 minutes, most (if not all) of Ashvane's fleet would have been sunk or floundered without having gotten a shot off.
@@rcslyman8929 do remember that in wow everything is far scaled down. Its why a town like goldshire lorewise has a population of 800 but in game is an inn and a blacksmith. Or the fact that clearly in game the farms of elwyn forest arent Nearly big enough to support a city like stormwind...because lorewise there are a lot more abd are larger. As is stormind supposed to be far larger So given that in game they clearly designed the big ships off ships of the line (note the 2 gun decks. Note also that a standard frigate if it had a 2nd gun deck also qualified even if the number of guns remained the same)lore wise youd use that for your comparison rather than the specs of your average frigate.
And daelin proudmoores flagship is of the same class of ship as the rest, though seemingly an older model as the bow of the ship is armored, more angled upwards and several other small differences
I dont believe they are supposed to be First Rate Ship of the Lines, as those were extremely rare in real life but i do think they qualify as at the very least 3rd tier
@@ConnorNotyerbidness I do kind of take the scale down into account. 24 guns is rather light for armament on a frigate. However, I will give you that frigates only had a single gun deck lined along the hull, which the Kul Tiran ships are not (two gun decks). That does support your analysis that they are Ships of the Line, which would make the Proudmoore flagship a dreadnought on par with 1st Rate Ships of the Line like the HMS Victory. I still hold fast on the class comparisons for the other racial ships.
@@rcslyman8929 ill admit im no expert when it comes to sailing vessels in any shape or form. I only know so much about ships of the line due to me taking a personal interest in them specifically.
I will counter though that there is ONE ship thatd outclass them all in firepower, including iron horde dreadnaughts...the defias juggernaut (which was based on the ogre juggernauts of the Second War)
Assuming that thing is ALSO scaled down....for god sake in game its got some cannons thatd fire cannonballs the size of volkswagons! If its Also scaled down, think about what That would mean!
@@ConnorNotyerbidness Yeah, I took an interest in them due to a fascination with tall ships and the era of sails. "A Pirate Looks at 40"? Sums it up for me.
The Orc Juggernaut definitely stood up to those ships, but it was an ungainly vessel. Obsiously in the RTS, they were evenly matched, but if you looked at them from a reality perspective, the Kul Tiran ships could sail laps around the Horde counterparts. The benefit that the orcs had was incredibly strong armor that would have been akin to the CSS Virginia, but with significantly more firepower. The Defias juggernaut had less armor, but was still just as ungainly from its size. And the final factor that separated the Kul Tiran ships was the tide sages that sailed on each ship. Tide sages ensured each ship had the advantage of the seas.
Heh. "I'll see your twelve rowboats and raise with my twenty plus real battle ships."
"..whelp."
The Alliance story is so good in BfA! I was afraid it was going to be just a filler expansion to stall the story because we are running out of bad guys but this... This is a story about growing up, facing reality, accepting your mistakes, forgiving those you love and finding true hope in unity. Kul Tiras coming back to the Alliance and Jaina's "retirement" plan turned out to be some of the best stories Blizzard ever made. And they made me more an Alliance player than I ever was. We don't fight just to survive, we fight for a better world with honer and peace. FOR THE ALLIANCE!
So far its a filler expansion in regard to features, gear quality, functioning trait/artifact systems, etc. Story should be the last thing they check off on the list, not the first. Gameplay > all
We don't fight just to survive, we fight for a better world with honer and peace.
No the Alliance is an empire that fights for their view of Honor,, and their view of peace.
and everything not following suit they'll crush as they tyrants that they truly are.
Also no such thing as a filler expansion.
Yes, gameplay should be their first concern always, but a good story is required for us to have fun.
Who in their right minds thinks story should be the last concern in an RPG? A game literally all about story..?
The Spanish Inquisition well, you just answered your own question--"who in their right minds"?
People who think gameplay trumps all need to go back to Call of Duty.
Jaina is this new Hope...Sylvanas wants all hope to die....A good fight is right around the corner!
Kell.M Hope will never die..
Good fight? Nah Jaina will oneshot her
Sylvanas: Tell me, do you bleed?
Jaina: Still once a month, unlike you
@@LOWBORN-the-LOATHSOME Hehehehe HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.....
Shots fired xD @@LOWBORN-the-LOATHSOME
May the seven great kingdoms of Azeroth ― Stormwind, Gilneas, Lordaeron, Dalaran, Stromgarde, Alterac and Kul Tiras ― one day stand reunited as ONE for the Alliance!
You forgot Perenolde
Sorry but most of those are already destroyed.
Lordaeron will forever belong to the banshee Queen
@@orakuotaku🤢🤢🤢
@@orakuotaku Uh... Nothing on Azeroth belongs to her anymore. and NO ONE owns Lordaeron. She destroyed her own city out of spite.
The music, the atmosphere.. Goosebumps
Blizzard just knocks it out the park everytime :-)
This made me tear up a bit dunno why. I did get the shivers when jaina started to hum, this is great.
Direct comparison to the horde warbringer for Slyvanus.
“You can kill us but you cannot kill hope”
“It seems hope has returned with you”
"Our harbor defense, won't be enough..." my hunter disagrees... let them come...
So Jaina finally has a nation of her own to join the alliance with ...
Hopefully it gets nuked like Theramore :DD
@@Expax cause that is the only way horde can cause casualities
Hmmm what happened in Ashenvale then?
Until they find out she's a fangirl of the naga.
Both the Horde and Alliance have men in their ranks who can't use their brain. Both sides are equally terrible, so no one is the winner in this war.
This is a beautiful cinematic. Having to see Jaina going through the expansion and watching her growing up, was a well-done job from Blizzard. The music was on point. The only thing I missed in the cinematic was a bit of a cannon show between Ashvane fleet and the Kul'Tiran fleet, just a few shots to show how much stronger the Kul'Tiran feel is. Other than that, this was a very touching cinematic. Probably the best part of BFA.
I reckon Ashvane's fleet wouldn't last 5 minutes.
Did she grow up ? In what way ?
@@efaristi9737 Follow her story and you will see
Meanwhile in Zandalar:
"So... Technically we did save the day, but uh... An old god experiment is ready to awake in Uldir, the city is now property of a god of death, and none of our enemies were really gone for good... But it's OK, I bet the alliance is having a hard time too"
The moment when the Tandrins Fleet arrives always gives me goosebumps
I was hyped to see the kultiran fleet give ashvane a full broadside, but it was cool still :)
Tandred Proudmoore going home :D
Alliance's storyline is just so emotional. For the Alliance!
Bc sc2- "Who called in the fleet"?
55 Ashvane pirates disliked the cinematic
Everyone a gangsta until the Kul Tiran Navy shows up.
This is nice and all, but theres a distinct lack of Bwomsamdi.
you mean OneZombie?
You mean Ryuuk?
give this man an apple
Anime avatar, your opinion doesn't matter.
Bwonsamdi just needs to be everywhere from now on
Absolutely epic - great job and awesome story!
"There you are". Goosebumps everytime.
Jainas humming still gives me the chills.
I went into this expac expecting Jaina to go insane and become a raid boss. I never would guessed she would be redeemed and in turn save the Alliance. Well done Bluzzard, well done!
She just became a raid boss. The final boss for the horde will be Jaina
@Ailee Georsua Nah she survives. Rastakhan dies though...but then again who didn't see that coming. At least he didn't die because he went insane. He went out defending his people. Not many better ways to go than that.
@@RyanEX2000 He did not die defending his people, he died because he was the Alliance target, his people died defending him, big difference.
1:23 How Euron's fleet seems to pop up around Westeros
'Let's show them what cool Tirans are made of!'
one of my all time fav. wow cinematics i have to say - shame blizz. didn't make a video about Jaina meeting her still alive brother after all this years as well
1:29 everyone's reaction after that strike timing with the ships
Ooooh man, shivers down my spine seeing the silhouette of tall ships in the mist, that was epic, HAVE AT THEM!
Shame the fleet's formation closing in on Ashvane's fleet is kind of stupid from a sailor's perspective, but I'll let it slide. Boats are awesome.
I really wish Blizzard would release a second soundtrack of all the music used for the cinematics. They are always the best versions of the score and they stay hidden away.
"All hands!! Lets show them what Kul Tirans are made of!!"
Alright, someone has to say it and i'm glad, that i get the chance to do so:
*FOR JAINA PROUDMOORE! LORD ADMIRAL OF KUL TIRAS!*
I love Jaina, such a sweetheart. The painfull moments she occured her whole life....never gave up hope and spirit to fight for the good cause. And her current style is awesome, Elsa's bigger sister :) Can you imagine what a powerfull duo those 2 can be? Frostdamage next level.
During the Pride of Kul Tiras storyline (which ends with this), there's a dialogue with Brother Pike that stands out, during his ritual:
"We lift our lanterns over the dark waters. We are beacons to guide you home. Souls washed to sea, return to us. Part the veil and step onto shore."
That's literally what Jaina just did.
1:38 When your team has all the dodgeballs
I'm loving the Pirates of the Caribbean references ❤️
It's just... Good business.
I wish ashbitch would say it
how?? what, all pirates all navy styled anything is suddenly pirates of the caribbean themed now? like theres just no pirates of that style before hand? google where the 'Yarrrg" pirate comes from. it goes back nearly a hundred years now in media.
while pirates existing long before the PotC movies, there are clear little nods to the actual movies. I mean, most pirate lore in real life doesnt involve magically summoning a fleet of ships from a fog bank with totem and singing.
Before Pirates of the Caribbean, there were Pirates of the Baltic. *The more you know*
It think she means the reference that Lady Ashvane gasps at the fleet, which is what Lord Beckett does in the movies right before he dies.
*HOPE WILL NEVER DIE*
satorange looks like I need to burn some more trees
I see what you did there. You could said that Jaina was... Awakened.
Battle Mercy can take Sylvanas alone and she will win😇
@@chriswrynn4078 whos said that I have a Queen Sylvanas lead the horde to a place of no honor & their tradition...She must pay her her crimes...we will aim for the head
WHAT IS DEAD CAN NEVER DIE!
As a avid horde player this badass cinematic made me make not one but two alliance characters
"There you are". Three simple words. Great line of dialogue
The voice acting is brilliant!
Its nothing personal Jack. Its just a good business
"There you are!"
That was my reaction to seeing Tandred as well lel
For KUL'TIRAS!!! Hail the Lord Admiral!! I'm so excited to finally play a sailor in game, a true sailor like the Kultirans! (Being a US Navy sailor myself)
Watched this 3 times so far, Loooove it !!!
Lessons from the Kul Tiras story:
- Reintegrate with your past, we cant change our story, but we can forgive ourselves, correct our mistakes and further improve our strenght. By doing so, we can not just face new threats(Horde), but we can also help those who we once let down on their challenges(Ashvane coup and attack), building a better future for us, our friends, family and community.
In other words...
For the Alliance.
For Jaina Proudmoore! for Kul Tiras! (i dont play WoW though anymore since Cata, but i like to watch these cinematics)
The voice acting is absolutely marvelous
The look on Ashvanes face as the fleet materializes.....priceless! She would do well to recall the penalty for treason is death!
FOR THE ALLIANCE!!!
Phoenixel For the horde
FOR THE ALLIANCE!!!
Oh say something original please. Beside embracing tribalism
FOR THE PANDARIA?
panderen didnt even help in legion expansion. why would you boast for them?
I feel like I'm watching some sort of adult version of a deleted scene from Frozen.
I don't play wow, but as a n old player of warcraft 3 the looks and the feeling of these cinematic, jana's story's give me the most chill
OHHHH I LITERALLY FEEL CHILLS WHEN THE FLOAT SHOWS UP!!
*MEANWHILE IN ZANDALAR* everythings on fire!!
True. Zandalar is down while Kul Tiras is at full strengh. Just kidding man. In RF the Alliance would have won after MoP.
Whats the music that plays when the fleet arrives
For all my gripes about modern WoW 1:24 is still one of the coolest things I've ever seen in any game.
Am I the only one looking at the Kul’Tiran ships and thinking, “those things are star destroyers.”? Cause they’re huge.
I know I'm not the only one swooning over Tandred :3
No, man, you aren't. Hotness has arrived in WoW.
Beefcake of the Sea! ^_^
man the jaina story in bfa was just so good
0:40 It was meant ... for the Daugther of the Sea.
Everybody gangsta untill the Kul Tiras fleet returns home
Such an amazing cinematic.. how low have you fallen blizzard...
Our Lady Jaina Proudmoore, patron saint of badass plot devices appearing from nowhere.
Making things appear out of nowhere is kind of what mages do...
@@user-uq4gr5nl5o You seem to mistake my tone for one of irritation. I love how silly awesome Jaina's "whatever the plot needs" ability is. [Summon Fleet] must be from the same Boatamancy spec as [Flying Arcane Broadside]. :D
I still don't see how it is silly. Like I said, that's what they do.
Jackknife
Literally the story of stormsong valley, shrine of the storm and established lore of kul tiras. Like just what we learned in stormsong valley and shrine of the storm could explain this with tidesage magic in the amulet...
Jackknife cough Khadgar
Sirr?! ORDERS?!
Its just... good business...

Lets show em what Kul Tirans are made of! Ufff shivers :D
one of the coolest cinematics am i right

does anybody know where i can find the music that starts at 1:15
The look on Lady Ashvane's face....
Blizzard can you please stop making me goosebumps and tears in my eyes?
I'm Horde for life, but this girl is one my favorite characters since Warcraft 2.
Well done, Blizzard.
Now I'm waiting for the full movie you have to make after all these great (ingame) cinematics. But - if you do that - let Bwomsamdi be on board :)
If this scene ever makes it into a movie they better keep this shot for shot.
