Yeah. My dude was playing safe tbh. Because I dont think Azeroth needed the a almost second comming of Deathwing. So keeping himself in HM out of confort and keeping himself out of dragon afairs cuz shame was a good call (even if it was for a long time)
@@Sossingro He was a purified black dragon so no the players don't 'know know the game better' as he actually had to be specifically corrupted just like any other being and wasn't at the same risk as other black dragons.
Both Ebyssian and Emberthal have incredible and emotive voices. I love a heavy female voice full of character. Sylvanas had one too. One of the best voice actors in the game
One of the things that stand out so much with Ebyssian in this scene is that he embodies a virtue that is so often forgotten; humility and how it can be an extroardinary strength. Like anyone else when accused of not having done enough would have screamed and protested (or in the case of some characters blubbered about how shitty they weree), but in his case, Ebonhorn understood his limitations and the results of his actions and how he needs help just as much as Emberthal; they are equals in this.
I love the pain in Ebyssians face.. These cutscenes I need more of this Blizzard I want to feel the sadness feel their pain be on the edge of my seat when there is good action I loved every bit of this
imagine the revolt there would be if the only dragon you couldn't support in the black dragonflight campaign turned out to be the next aspect LOL anyways i support Ebyssian for sure
There's no doubts in my mind anymore, the Sabellian/Wrathion faction rivalry in launch content was indeed a red herring, Ebyssian is gonna be the new Aspect of Black Dragonflight.
@@VDA19 I mean, Krexus was on the Shadowlands loadscreen and that motherfucker died off-screen during Maldaxxus leveling. At least Wrathion actually got featured somehow.
A red herring is essentially a obvious distraction to draw away from the real goal, in this case, Wrathion and Sabellian were the red herring distracting from the fact that ebonhorn is the obvious choice.
How is this a minor patch?? the lore and the production feel so good and it's so much better than so many major patches in recent years, I was not crying with this cutscene in-game but now rewatching it and talking about it with friends brough me to tears, I want to hug those two because they have suffered so much and lost so many, thank you blizzard, my most honest thank you for this patch.
It's more like a 10.1 patch being split into two patches. New story and zones are added rn and the new season, gameplay features and raid are coming later. Actually a very smart move. I was worried that there will be a content drought once again, but my worries are gone now.
Imagine going from the Shadowlands cutscenes to this. People mention Garrosh's cutscene but that one was made by one guy as a quick passion project so it makes sense but there is no excuse for everything else. Now we get hit with this jewel, their faces have as much emotion as the big in-game cinematics from SL, maybe even more.
This cutscene is the proof we need, Ebyssian must be the Dragon Aspect of the Black Dragonflight, his wisdom, knowing his mistakes and most importantly the union of family
Yes, Wrathion can remain the "Black Prince".. I'm hoping he can agree to Ebyssian as an aspect though.. I really hope they won't turn Wrathion into a "bad guy"..
That or share the power in 3 as a Triumvirate, all 3 of them have qualities that work better in combination. Wrathions cunning, Ebyssians wisdom, and Sabellians experience with the flight.
The Tauren were among the first to have defied and overpowered Deathwing: Huln Highmountain would be the one to toss The Aspect into Deepholm and claimed an Egg from his clutch that was purified by Huln to become Ebonhorn.
Jesus christ, the facial expressions, the emotions they give, the voice acting, definitely an upgrade over shadowlands and bfa. Dragonflight is doing pretty good in storytelling bliz 👍
To be honest, these quality cutscenes were introduced in late Shadowlands. One of the final patches had a few cutstenes that wrapped up some of the storylines and they all were animated this way. There was one scene of the Undead forming a council and reclaiming Undercity, one where Anduin found Sylvanas and asked her how to move on, i think there was another with Tyrande and Winter Queen i dunno, don't remember.
Wow, this is the most emotional scene I ever saw, and I was about to burst into tears because of it. And I might wanna give both Emberthal and Ebyssian a hug for this one.
if deathwing were to come back and fall to corruption again or come back still corrupted i imagine blizz could pull an effective "execute order 66" plot line that turns all the dracthyr (except the player character's evoker if they are one because they're special or something idk) against the other aspects.
@@baronfuath5872 Or better yet have Noone escape it not even the player imagine it.Horde and alliance players having to nor kill each other and hold off or kill some of the dracthyr till it could be fixed
This was a very touching scene. I think seeing the dragons up close and personal like this shows just how cruel the Old Gods were; not only did they turn friends into monsters who posed a threat to the world, but because they forced the extinction of the corrupted, it left survivors like this, who escaped corruption, but have to live with the memory of what their corrupted kin did. Keep in mind; corruption pushes the corrupted to see certain desires and actions as more appropriate, or necessary, and distorts their cognition of the world, but it doesn't necessarily CREATE those feelings unless it's a straight brainwashing (which in most cases here it wasn't). The Old Gods whispers meld with one's own thoughts, drawing parallels to schizophrenia, and where one's own ideas end and the whispers' begin is hard to tell. As an analogy: Someone who does something crazy while drunk and dies, how much of it was the drink and how much of it was them? It's hard to say sometimes.
i'm so happy that we have touching and emotional moments in wow at last. it makes the story finally alive. Terran Gregory and his team are just killing it
We still got some of those low budget cutscenes, but maaan these main story cutscenes are on another level! They're of the same kind of quality as cinematics, but they feel like they fit so much better in the world
Hey, in the defense of the Garrosh cinematic, that was the passion project of literally one animator who wanted to give Garrosh the badass ending he deserved. Cut that one some slack lol.
*[Emberthal & Ebyssian Having Their Moment To Reflect]* Horde Champion: "Uuuuhh, can I get my boots now? Its a literal stat upgrade from my current ones I'm wearing.."
honestly this cinematic is of the highest quality blizzard has yet to produce (in game cutscenes) the voice acting, the music, the animations. this is the type of cutscene that makes you feel something
I am genuinely so surprised by this cutscene. Very few times in my 15 years of playing Wow have I ever been this excited from seeing an in-game cutscene. Everything is just so incredibly perfect. The music was serious, and the animations were absolutely PERFECT. The VOICE ACTING!!! God damn. The sigh from Ebonhorn. The absolute rage and vengeance-ridden look of Emberthal when they pointed at Ebonhorn at 00:33. God damn, if this is what we will expect in the future of wow then my god I will change my view of Retail. I've yet reached the Sindragosa storyline, but I heard that it was perfect so I will return to make an edit on what I think :p
Tauren keep getting Ws. Ebyssian/Ebonhorn ( and yes, he is a Tauren, in anything but his true form ) reminds me so much of Baine during the BfA cutscene with Jaina and Derek.
This is top-tier cutscene material. The animated gestures and lip synching, voice acting, music, character development. Delivering an incredibly impactful moment that the old cutscenes with mere in-game emotes could never do.
I came back just for dragonflight and immediately rolled Dracthyr. Seeing Emberthal's journey from pre-patch to this is just so moving. I really hope this is the direction Blizzard decides to continue in
I really... click with Emberthal. Last year I lost my brother... this year I lost my sister. He was 24, she was 17. I'm trans, and my family disowned me when I came out. I lost my family... the things she said in this cinematic just... the emotions are... a lot. I can't even imagine.
In a 2 min Cutscene, I care more about a character more about a story, more about the future, then the Entire storyline of shadowlands Now this is how it should be
This is probably one of the best cut scenes they’ve ever done. It’s perfect in a low key sneaky way. Probably second only to the Found Momento Legion cinematic.
Ebyssian really should be the black dragonflight aspect... He is smarter and more patient than his brothers, he is also a new voice and has reason and is capable of thinking things over twice, he is the best choice for the aspect.
Believe it or not, I was not particularly found of Dragonflight's story arc. Not terrible mind you, just not my cup of tea. But doing this questline, watching this cinematic... I don't know what it is but it made me feel. It was a feeling I had forgotten...
Emberthal & Ebyssian conversation might be a real foreshadowing of the New Black Dragon Aspect. There is a strong possibility that Ebyssian might become the new aspect or Emberthal, because they both chose to build a new legacy away from Deathwing's crimes.
Oh god, this made me tear up. Edit: 0:57 My GOD you people like to pick bones that are not even there! It's not ignoring his situation that he couldn't do anything to help the world! It's more him expressing he should have done more => his desire to do more. Old gods here or there, have you NEVER had an experience where you were so ashamed that you felt like it's better for others if you just remove yourself from the situation? Wether it was truly your fault or not? If not i honestly hope you won't ever because let me tell you it's a really horrible feeling, when you want to correct a mistake but you are sent away "you've done enough".
Oh well ok, here I was thinking "oh neat new WoW cutscene, let's give it a watch". Didn't realise I would have my heart split in two as I watched two long-lost siblings struggle their way through living in the legacy of their destructive father.
Damn who let those onion cutter ninjas in? This moment of Ebyssian and Emberthal reflecting was so good and emotional.... I wanna give them both a big foxy hug
I haven't kept in touch since BFA but I heard Baine and Ebonhorn got some new stuff so I came to check these out. Damn, Dragonflight is looking good. I think I might have to come back.
I really do wish that Neltharion (Deathwing) would just come back, but be on our side this time. A corrupted version of him. I feel like he could've been so great! He'd probably rival the Lich King in terms of lore.
@@blahara He's such a badass, dude! I feel like we didn't get enough of him in Cataclysm... and the artwork on the walls of him in the new raid is just... WOW! I need those as wallpapers asap!
@Justin B But Neltharion was corrupted by N'zoth, so you can't really say that he was "EVIL" or anything... A redemption arc is definitely within the realms of possibilities I think
@@polybius9089 You forget that Arthas also succumbed to the evil plans of the forces of evil and forces beyond his understanding. He did not know what Frostmourne would do to him, even though he had heard from Muradin that the sword was cursed (hey, damn it, saying that the sword was cursed is too little argument given the situation that Arthas had at that moment), he did not knew what was going to happen to him and Malganis was leading Arthas to it all the time, acting as a triple agent, always actually serving Denathrius by slipping the Jailer's artifact into the clutches of a Mortal so that he would become a good tool for death on the planet. And when all the cards lay down successfully - Arthas became that very tool, and could not resist the consequences that happened to him because of the sword. The sword did to him what it did to Sylvanas. Even Matthias Netler appeared in the plot of Icecrown in WOTLK, it was the second good part of Arthas' soul that was torn and separated inside the sword, so that it would not prevent evil from acting against the whole world
@@polybius9089 In Warcraft lore, an external “corrupting force” that negatively influences characters is a common theme, but outright controlling their actions is a rarity. Blizzard has explicitly stated that Arthas was in complete control of his actions the entire time he was Lich King. I believe the same is true for Neltharion after he became Deathwing.
The amount of emotion they squeeze out of dragon-y and tauren-y faces is just ... chef's kiss. The animators are killing it. The voice actors are killing it. The writers are killing it. It's so good to give a damn about these characters and just enjoy any time they say or do something.
This confirmed to me that Blizz intended to make Ebyssian the Black Dragon Aspect all along. I wonder if they will have Wrathion throw a tantrum or not.
He will I have no doubt though I hope they don't turn him into a bad guy because of it he isn't just going to undo all he attempted to do to protect Azeroth over some title that would be injustice to him in my opinion.I would actually expect him to become a little cold and feeling alone and unrecognized and it falls to the players and Ebyssian to help guide him and see things....I hope
Wth, this is like.. On another level. This is the same game, not one expansion ago, a poorly lip synced Garrosh made his last voice line before Alt-F4.
It's insane that Ebonhorn started out as a mistake and an insert character trying to fix a continuity error, and now he's our Black Dragonflight aspect. So happy that they went with Ebonhorn, and how he turned out.
It's kinda crazy how much Presence Neltharion/Deathwing has in this expansion despite being dead in universe for years now, like he feels more important than he did in Cataclysm, the expansion he was literally the big bad of.

Same with sabellian. His Outland self also has them.

They've REALLY improved the facial animations. That little eye tremble on Emberthal, you feel it.

God this cutscene was beautifully animated... and voiced... and Ebyssian looks SO GOOD NOW!
I so agree with you on that!
Hell yeah, Ebyssian for aspect!
They finally got a clue about what FFXIV and Guild Wars 2 have been doing forever. Looking good.

Man, I am loving all of the love for Ebonhorn so much.
Ebyssian is a gem and must be protected at all costs
To be fair to Ebonhorn he technically couldn’t leave or he’d get corrupted by the old gods.
Ebyssian better be the next Aspect of the Black Dragonflight
or sabellian or wrathion.
@Seriously? against moo people?
I can imagine a Scenario where he would be chosen to be the aspect for his personality and caring to others.
@Seriously? oh, pull my utter

He is. As he should be.
Dang! I have zero context about this interaction, but I LOVE this! Great voice acting, subtle character acting… all so good!!

Believe it or not, I was not particularly found of Dragonflight's story arc. Not terrible mind you, just not my cup of tea. But doing this questline, watching this cinematic... I don't know what it is but it made me feel. It was a feeling I had forgotten...
It's because we've seen the wringer the Black Dragonflight's been put through. And the Blue's.

There is more acting, expression of emotion, and progress of character arcs in this two minute cutscene than in the entirety of Shadowlands

And when all the cards lay down successfully - Arthas became that very tool, and could not resist the consequences that happened to him because of the sword. The sword did to him what it did to Sylvanas. Even Matthias Netler appeared in the plot of Icecrown in WOTLK, it was the second good part of Arthas' soul that was torn and separated inside the sword, so that it would not prevent evil from acting against the whole world
@@polybius9089 In Warcraft lore, an external “corrupting force” that negatively influences characters is a common theme, but outright controlling their actions is a rarity. Blizzard has explicitly stated that Arthas was in complete control of his actions the entire time he was Lich King. I believe the same is true for Neltharion after he became Deathwing.
Ebyssian is black dragon with no connection at all to Neltharion which is what the flight needs...a clean slate
He feels shame because he thinks he did not enough. He is not Arthas or Illidan who had done too much in their journeys.
The amount of emotion they squeeze out of dragon-y and tauren-y faces is just ... chef's kiss. The animators are killing it. The voice actors are killing it. The writers are killing it. It's so good to give a damn about these characters and just enjoy any time they say or do something.
This played in my game with no dialogue audio was so shattered haha
Still hard to believe ebisian isn't running for the earth aspect
wowhead is literaly the best channel that u can get update with WoW!
Ebyssian's VA did a perfect job here. You can just hear the shame and compassion in there.
dragon eyed ebonhorn is character of the year
Ebyssian for the seat of the Black Aspect!
Ebyssian for Dragon Aspect!
Wow the pep up of ebyssian is amazing I love the updated model
In-game animations have come a looooong way since several years ago.
ya.. Ebyssians gonna be the new aspect, I think that most likely the best choice out of the options for the black flight tbh
Titans know they deserve the chance to be more after the literally hell their flight's been through.
I want absolutely the soundtrack :o
Ebyssian is my black dragon aspect
This confirmed to me that Blizz intended to make Ebyssian the Black Dragon Aspect all along. I wonder if they will have Wrathion throw a tantrum or not.
He will I have no doubt though I hope they don't turn him into a bad guy because of it he isn't just going to undo all he attempted to do to protect Azeroth over some title that would be injustice to him in my opinion.I would actually expect him to become a little cold and feeling alone and unrecognized and it falls to the players and Ebyssian to help guide him and see things....I hope
The voice acting was so good , I got emotional ngl
Wow this is a really moving scene.
Wth, this is like.. On another level. This is the same game, not one expansion ago, a poorly lip synced Garrosh made his last voice line before Alt-F4.
Finally making Tauren cool again - And its a dragon in disguise.
It's insane that Ebonhorn started out as a mistake and an insert character trying to fix a continuity error, and now he's our Black Dragonflight aspect.
So happy that they went with Ebonhorn, and how he turned out.
This cut scene is brilliant from start to finish. The voice acting, the emotion and the music. PS Ebyssian for Black Dragon Aspect please.
This cutscene is so good!
It's kinda crazy how much Presence Neltharion/Deathwing has in this expansion despite being dead in universe for years now, like he feels more important than he did in Cataclysm, the expansion he was literally the big bad of.
Can we just all agree how good the expressions are?
Ebonhorn for leader of the black dragon flight!
