A lot of questions and hype floating around, so let me clarify: Pyromancer IS RETURNING to World of Warcraft to follow the new lore, check out The War Within when it releases, and maybe even play current retail to get caught up on what he's missed. However, he is NOT leaving Final Fantasy 14 - the story, world, and setting is every bit of Azeroth's equal, and he intends to continue his journey in Eorzea alongside his return to Azeroth. Thirdly, it has always been the case that he streams and speaks on the games he enjoys, which means that variety, one-offs, and other diversions will also continue. In his own words, for example, he plays more OSRS in his off stream hours than FF14 and WoW combined!
That being said, there's obviously a lot of focus on World of Warcraft right now as we're all excited about these new announcements and the promise of the story moving in a healthier and more interesting direction. I would look forward to a lot more World of Warcraft content in the coming days, but I wouldn't be surprised to see gameplay and coverage of other titles as well. Whatever happens, you can be sure I will be here to bring it to CZcams for those who are unable to watch it on stream live.
Pyro may be releasing a video to speak on this more directly, but until then - thank you for the support, everyone! We love the WoW community AND the FF14 community! We're really excited at and grateful for the enthusiasm and can't wait to see you in Azeroth, Eitherys, and beyond.

YEES!!
Looking at the fat that ffxiv won't get any proper new content till Dawtrail (so almost 1 year), i bet that Pyro will just leave ffxiv behind.
Great news! Why not both.
@@Martin-lm8xp Depends when A War Within is released, everyone is free to make their choices, can take a break from one MMO for a time to enjoy another, FF14's content certainly not going anywhere, but WoW is dear to many people and seeing it (hopefully) slowly make a comeback is reinvigorating old crushes.
@@Martin-lm8xp It's okay for people to take breaks! FFXIV devs encourage it!
I love how you are here, again. Loved your works from day 1. And now after more than 5 years all things you said before came true. ALL I CAN SAY IS CONGRATUALTIONS.
I still vividly remember watching Pyros Legion lore videos and the speculations were off the charts. Pyro deserves it man. This dude knows his fucking lore
Pyro giving Chris Metzen standing ovation was the best thing ever! :D
Best thing ever was when Pyro threw out all his WoW stuff and cried on livestream like a two-year old.
time stamp?
When metzen enters@@TK-is7re
@@OverlordFlinx That's why he literally broke in this video, most of his theories has been mostly been kinda confirmed and now WoW seems to be going straight to the conclusion of the storyline without any stops. ''Now it is time to come home'' and Pyro knew he was in again. You can also hear Pyro say ''this fucking guy...'' at Chris mid-cry at some point.
I love that he stood up ^^
Glad you're back, dude! Your lore videos have been a big piece missing from CZcams the past couple years.
They really have been missed!
Bro you are so emotionally invested in this, when Metzen told you all you wanted to see in the game your mood totally changed, loved to see it hope u get back on it.
This was the reaction I was waiting for ngl. I just want to see other people as passionate about this story as I am see it and feel the same emotions I felt after all the disappointment and anger since BFA.
His reaction is only like this because it validates himself.
I remember finding your content a couple months before Blizzcon 2019 and just devouring every second of it. The lore conspiracy theories, the deep dives, all of it. You made me fall in love with the WoW lore so much more. My cousin and I looked for you everywhere on community night and were so happy to get to meet you. Hope Metzen's storytelling arc brings you back into the game and the lore. Glad to see you around WoW again man.
I was wondering Pyro: how does it feel to get a glimpse of the story kind of playing out how you were theorizing years ago? I bet it feels good and you totally deserve that!
I wouldn't be surprised if writers watched his whole YT channel for inspo to finally make a good fucking setting.
If Pyro were to write a story, I am 100% sure it would be incredibly successful, but who knows how he feels about such work.
@@jankxyard
It's a pretty safe guess they're taking notes from FFXIV's Shadowbringers and Endwalker.
The major themes of this story, from the trailer, etc... Could they be more blatant?
@@twocatsgaming6628 I never followed FF14 stuff, so I have no idea.
@@NoConsequenc3 LOL racism being a fantasy trope. You're not wrong, but it's hilarious either way to me.
@@twocatsgaming6628If you talk Bullshit like that then let me add more bullshit. I bet FF14 stole the light vs dark trope from Alan Wake in 2010
damn pyroman..glad to se not only me getting good ol feeling while watching this!...good to have this shit back on track! ..and glade to have you back man!!
Excited to see your lore content man its always great to learn more about it with you
Goddamn it's good to see you doing wow stuff again even if it is sporadic. I missed your wow videos dude.
Welcome back Pyro!! I just loved how you became emotional, it's been such heartbreak for you and the community as a whole with regard to the lore and all things WoW prior to today. Great to see you've uploaded this video. I teared up with you.
Man.. My eyes were teary and I can only imagine how Pyro must have felt. Youre a legend, Pyro
im so confused, teary from what?
Looking forward to having you back Pyro. Miss your lore vids
I remember Pyromancer doing extensive analysis on the lore and gameplay, down to small seemingly irrelevant items found all around WoW with texts, hints and clues. Putting two and two together, connecting the dots and explaining in detail what is going on. And all this was happening during Legion and Battle for azeroth. Great analysis, you were literally 5 years ahead. Somebody should hire you as an analyst.
Glad you're back Pyro!! Been waiting your lore video for a long time.
I am rooting for you Pyro, this turn in WoW's narrative opens many more opportunities for you
The Pyro Saga pog. We were all denied of true storytelling after Legion, but now Metzen is back to save us from Denuzer’s incompetence. Glad to see you back bro
You're acting like Danuser isn't the one responsible for much of this current narrative...
@@preds43 Denuser with metzen holding his hand will surely be better, that much is pretty easy to predict
It's good to see you so involved in this pyro... love it. Nobody will EVER be able to question your fandom after seeing your reaction to this.
Thanks for the vid!
Loved how you’re excited for wow again. I hope we get that story again and how you have your take on the story. Really loved how you explained it. Chris is back and that means wow is finally back!
Wow I didn't believe I will see you reacting to that! A surprise to be sure but a welcome one! 😄
First of all... thanks to your editor that wrote me a comment under your last video :D
And then... Pyro, i was just as devastated as you after what happened during shadowlands. I was always coming back to your channel to watch your newest theory about what will happen in the future of WoW. It struck me really hard that you stopped to do WoW stuff, even tho i understood you.
Seeing Chris now returning and announcing this Saga reignites my hope for the story of a game that i fell in love with since 2006. This is the shit i wanted to see since the end of Legion back in 2018! Im hyped, hopefully you are too :) As someone said it in your comment during the stream: This is for you!
I really hope this saga thing they are going for will make a more cohesive and comprehensive story. Also the quality of the cinematic was stunning.
Not gonna lie, tenatively excited. If they pull it off, this could go great. It could also go horribly, really hoping that's not the way it goes though.
Same, but I have more faith with metzen back.
@@phatymcdaddy Metzen is the only reason I have any hope that they can pull this off tbh
Metzen is back. We’ll be fine.
First thought, WoD promises 2.0? But I do very much hope they pull it off successfully and not just end each of the 3 part story with “but you don’t know what’s coming!”
It's definitely a money grab to get people to pre purchase for years. But as always it's exciting AF.
pyro i probably watched every lore video you ever made, need you back in this space ASAP!
Seeing you get excited over wow again warms my heart, I missed you bro, your presentation on lore has always been the best, seeing u leave broke my heart as a fan, but as a human I understand needing to walk away for a bit, recoupe, recover and regroup. Keep it up bud 😊
Missed you Pyro, welcome back!
I'm glad to see you talking about wow stuff again, I missed your videos!
Glad to see you reacting to WoW again Pyro, your theory videos were always top notch.
as a former wow player that loved this world. as a developer that started his journey in warcraft. as an avid theorycrafter in Pyros chat long ago... i too teared up at this. the father of warcraft is back. the desire for change is prominant. the air of adventure may have returned. We may have been scorned, forsaken, cast out, and betrayed... but we are still the saviors of Azeroth.
I cannot describe how happy i was to see your video pop up on my screen, whether you are back or not WELCOME BACK to reacting warcraft lore materials. When i was watching it live i was saying to myself "Pyro was fucking right AGAIN!". Good to see you again man.
Much love, Pyro. I cried as well. So much finally lining up!
Appreciate you, man.
AgentVamp.
Man your reaction to this made me emotional, I love listening to you talk about WoW.
Good to see you excited about Wow again!:) Cheers!
Thank you for your video reaction. Loved it 👍❤️❤️❤️
It is only appropriate that Pyro returns with Metzen's return, two GOATs of WoW Lore. I'm very excited for the content that is coming.
Glad I wasnt the only one who was getting teary when chris showed up. 😂
I see im not the only one who was tearing up. Chris his speech made me emotional and then the cinematic came. They knocked it out of the park
I've now watched this announcement and reactions from many sources and I have to say that yours was the most heartfelt. It was the most honest and the best. Like others, I have missed your lore videos. My daughter, who I play WOW with, wants us to start playing FF as well, so I will watch your videos on that as well. I look forward to seeing more of your theory's and videos.
Pause at 26:20. I'm pretty sure that is Kalimdor breaking apart starting from Silithus. The locations of the fissures are really interesting. Plus, if that is Kalimdor, what is that large mass near Feralas? You can also see the Maelstrom at the 2 o'clock position at 26:19 (another fissure appears there as well as to the south which I think is in Pandaria).
Edit: Pausing at 26:21 you can make out an island that looks like that Isle of Thunder near that top of the text which is not far from the Pandaria fissure (aka probably Mohu'shan vaults). The fissures appear in several places where there are titan facilities as well as places that Old Gods were imprisoned. The Maelstrom fissure is probably the prison of N'zoth.) The one I personally find the most interesting is the fissure that is probably Terramok because that would prossibly tie in with the new allied race.
I don’t play WOW but I am now. That Chris fella is a hype machine and the world needs more positive hype.
I hope we get to see that sea of molten metal and the war of the mecha gnomes underground. I think that's what it was at least. The stuff hinted at by the blingtron items over the years
Chris is our DM for the greatest home brew story adventure of D&D.
Bro i teared up too listening to Chris talk Pyro. Good to see we share that.
100% been on board with your theories.
Every week 40 min videos of lore talk with pyro while i drive home 40 mins from work
So pleased for you man. Could tell you were getting emotional at the thought of getting the WOW storytelling you fell in love with back. Here's hoping they do a good job of it, and happy theory crafting if they do 🙂
Great reaction Pyro, can tell how much you love wow and it's story and lore
you have no idea how happy I am seeing you posting wow content again and being happy and hyped again for wow , you almost made me cry
I really missed your theories and wow contents man ❤❤
Blizzard should hire Pyro alongside Chris Metzen. They'd make the greatest possible storytelling duo.
I swear, besides the laughs in between, hearing Holly talking much reminded me of the opening of lotr. Where galadriel gives an Introduction
Looking forward to lore videos, really miss them :D need more than just Bellular
I loved metzen being back on stage. I dabble in both ff14 and WoW and came back for Dragonflight but this man has such a great stage presence.
Imagine getting a wow + 14 collab with him and yoshida on stage. Would be hype overload.
Gotta respect your passion Pyro. Look forward to you picking it all apart
A new journey with all new lore videos from you :)))
LET'S GOOOOOO PYRO'S BACK!!! I'm so here for it! We had a watch party with a couple of friends and we were so hyped all the way through we were cheering in this one room flat like crazy! Feelsgoodman
Im so happy you are back Pyro ;)
I always loved your story videos. Your passion for the story of WoW is so contagious :)
gotta love the amount of trolling that happened this blizzcon lol the "what sword" meme, the WAR within after all the jokes about world of peacecraft. love that Metzen is back!
I have hope that this announcing the three expansions means they are commiting to story as a first party concern. It frustrated me for years that mechanics and end game content had seemed to grow to the point of rendering the world as an open lobby waiting for multiplayer. That the RPG part had been forgotten.
So hopeful and hyped.
YOU.WERE.RIGHT ! I'm so happy to see your work rewarded ! You got me hooked to WoW's lore, you showed us that there's always been more to what the eye can see ! So, thank yous are in order Pyromancer !
Glad you're back man you've been missed
Pyro! You're back on WoW content! We missed you
damn. i watched your other video of you talking about the titans, the void vs light, sargeras etc while watching a FF14 panel and seeing your reaction now about how you basically called or at least suspect sussy stuff going on behind the scenes, this must actually feel so rewarding/validating!
As a long term fan, you couldn't hide the tears from me after hearing Chris Metzen reference a big conspiracy that will affect everything we knew previously about the Titans. What an incredible experience to see you outpour the emotions of YEARS of theorycrafting, to finally get the closest thing to confirmation possible. You read the tea leaves, read between the lines, understood the stories inside of the stories, and you were right. By God, YOU WERE RIGHT. It's been a hell of a journey all these years, and I can't wait to see you come home to see the conclusion of a story you poured so much into for so long.
I love how you care so much and arent affraid to show it bud. As someone who has been there from the beginning...i get it. New sub...new fan.
Hey Pyro, been watching you since the legions days, and seeing your reaction to Chris' invite back to "home". It got to me too dude, the endless grind of the game we loved for years. Feels good to finally look forward to Wow's future. Cant wait to witness your speculations all over again.
boyy im so happy that you recorded this!!!!
been long - glad to see you come back to wow
It is my first video of you I’ve ever seen. Thank you for this reaction video. It made me feel like at good old days when WoW felt like home, full of passionate people. You made me believe that we are still there. Scattered but with all those memories in our hearts. And cose of this, Chris, lore, your and chat reaction I started to believe that WoW can be my home again. Thank you for this
Bruh, I teared up when last I saw you, now you appear to me as Anduin, Rough around the edges and with PTSD, I hope to see you back into the lore ones more man ( Pre-written before watching the full vid, just REALLY happy to see you in this community again )
Loved seeing your reaction
Good to have you back on wow my friend
I'm so proud of you dude. You've come so far in the last few years!
@Pyromancer - does it mean you are getting back to lore videos? I really liked those deep dives into lore and spculations you made, and apprently they are coming true... well done man, well done
Thank you Pyro that I could join you on this journey and look at it with you. That was sweet, emotional and you earned it all. Thank you and blessing from all my heart ❤️ 🎉 you are such a sweet character
I love how we're going back to Old World locations- Quel Thalas and Northrend. I really appreciate not just adding new and new but actually developing the lore that is already there
A couple of years ago I miraculously stumbled upon your channel, and since then I have always watched and subscribed every one of your wow lore videos and theories, and I swear, through your content has positively been the only way in which I've been able to feel like I somewhat understand the entirety/lore of the world of warcraft universe (which without a doubt have carried my childhood), in a way where it all comes together and makes sense and becomes the "real" lore of the game, if that makes sense. I've always felt like you were the only one who got it all right, especially when it seemed like even blizzard didn't and constantly fucked it all up. Now with Chris back though (and probably because of your content), hopefully the game's lore will get back on track to how it in my opinion - thanks to you - should be. Seeing this makes me so happy, this is literally your work!
So many callbacks in the trailer, the we don't get to hide, the lich king sword point by anduin sucha emotional trailer
After Blizzcon I was searching around for "reaction" videos of Blizzcon and stumbled across this video. Its the first Pyro video I've ever seen. I loved how passionate he was about the game. I knew nothing of his previous work, "the rant", or his hiatus. I then started to go through his video history and watching his other lore theories. Then I learned about his hiatus, which also brought me to his rant video. I've since rewatched his more recent WoW videos with a new light. Now re-watching this video, everything seems 100% more impactful. Even watching his chat live when they say things like, "Chris is speaking directly to you Pyro...". Its all so cool! I'm glad the WoW community has him back, and I'm glad I've come across his video and can follow his theories to fruition over the next 3 expansions.
Welcome back brother.
Man, pyro’s reaction to this has got to be the best I’ve seen. Super happy to see him back and excited for wow again.
Metzen picking up after the sword says to me: "Ignore whatever hippy nonsense the writers were doing since then."
Borrowing from Anduin's trauma of course. Sadly we can not just completely ignore BFA and Shadowlands
I wonder if Anduin will have something to do with pulling Sargeras' sword out of the land. The cinematic seemed to focus for an extended amount of time on Anduin's sword pushed against Thrall's leather strap. Within that moment you see Anduin slowly pull his sword from Thrall. Thrall will help Anduin with this and help with his ptsd.
Welcome back. We’ve missed you
This presentation was a fkn emotional ride for sure , and now Im like ok chris ... I'm coming home. Pyromancer , your knowledge in this lore and story is so good .. I hope you help be a beacon to usher the community through catching people up.. tell them small stories of lore in pieces , help us all know wtf has happened and what could be coming.
Not to say Pyro wouldn't do an awesome job of that, but there is a ton of good content that can catch you up out there. Pyro is top notch lore content though. Such a joy every time.
The cinematic gave me some real WC3 or Diablo vibes and something about that cutscene is always a tear jerker man
Feels like WoW's attempt at MSQ. I'm nervous as their personal story telling with big characters has fallen pretty flat in DF. Additionally, the quick succession of expacs would bode well if not for the already feature-lite announcement with TWW. No new class? No new unique race? No player housing (something that was okay not announcing in DF but now...)? Since limited new gameplay elements, the narrative is going to have to do some serious heavy lifting for once.
I won't knock trying to copy a winning recipe, but can't disgaree with what I heard about DF. Maybe DF was a rushed attempt to get something out and they had a lot more time to plan and write for this saga? Who knows.
I am glad you coming home, Pyromancer. I know it's been a range of emotions over the years but I always knew man that to be that frustrated with the story it had to mean a lot to you and the time you invested had to be long. I have to say that it has not been the same without you these past years. I look forward to your future man.
04:35 I tried to find when the tear starts forming out from this guy's eyes, i think this is the moment. maybe few minutes sooner.
I didnt know you where back doing wow content, glad the great youtube algorithm in the sky put this in my feed
I see two possibilities after they finish the world soul saga. Either they are introducing the 3 expack storyline as a marketing transition to support more frequent expansions or they’re planning to end the titan storyline and transition to a wc4 and/or WoW 2 world reboot afterwards. I really hope it’s the latter. As someone who left in cata, I’ll likely stick with classic and other games until that reboot, but I’m definitely interested in how this story pans out.
I met Chris Metzen at his neighbors Bday party in Laguna Beach when I was 17 in 2007, it was unbelievably awesome. One of my best memories of all time lol.
a pyro return to wow would make me so happy, always loved your titan theories!
Welcome home Pyro :')
21:33 - No, it wasn't. I thought so as well. I believe the What's Next panel explained that it's been there for ages.
Missed you buddy 😍
Welcome back ❤
I like how Midnight might actually be patch 12.0 xD
As soon as he mentioned the titans conspiracy I immediately thought to myself "Oh pyromancer is going to love this".
I cried too, Metzen is the top dog writer!
