Too Soon...

Friday, which if you are from around here means it is time for the Reader Post. You know the post of the week where I leave it to one of you to send something in which you would think everyone would be interested in. Well this week I chose a rant from Ravenmoon. Now I will say I think this rant is rather early since we don't know much about Legion yet. But if it comes to pass then it certainly has a point. So will leave you with that, enjoy!

Amidst the information packed expansion, lore, zones, grand scale invasion, and what seems to be the start of the massive legion plot, something I think they and us have all missed and will become quite painfully clear once the news is digested... is the big hole where OUR night elves should be.
Where are they? and why are they absent from their homecoming? Why are they not taking centre stage in the narrative? ... this is their land, they're most familiar with the territory, secrets history, every other one of us [horde/alliance] is blind in comparison and they are the leading race against the Legion .. shouldn't we have been seeing Tyrande instead of Varian in that cinematic?

... most followers of the lore will begin to notice this soon... how would night elves like Tyrande Whisperwind, Mordant Evenshade, the priesthood and druids and those who've been around for 10,000 years - and lead the world twice against the Legion ...

Tyrande's homecity is Suramar, she'd know it so well.. you would definitely want to see their reaction to seeing it was saved, and delight to see survivors thriving and that turned to horror when they learn they opened up to the legion after standing against it for nearly 10,000 years .

Why is it Varian leading the charge and not Tyrande ? I can understand Varian being in the thick of it, not expecting to comeback and writing to his son, but on the ground, I would expect it would be Tyrande and our night elves marshaling and leading the factions against the Legion they know so well on HOME turf they know so well.

It's a huge omission - what have they planned? or did they actually forget? I was a bit surprised they used Dalaran and not some campaign to reclaim Suramar after which it becomes a night elf lead neutral city they launch the final thrust against Gul'dan and the legion from...you're going to read and play Warcraft story and wonder why our night elves are not at the centre of our offensive.

So what do you think? Is this something to worry about or should we wait and see? Guess we will all just have to wait and see. Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Whatever I May Be - Whatever I May Become In This World - Know That I Will Always Look Out For You

So here I was getting for what list I was going to do this week. When I was getting flack from all of these people for my list last week. Why aren't such and such part of it? Why not them? Well then when people started naming couples I was thinking were they even really a couple. Then it got me thinking what about those that shit just happened and it never ended how you would have thought it should have. Now just so I am covering myself this is not going to include those who broke it off and never got a chance to get back together. I am looking at you Arthas and Jaina! So with that in mind here are my choices for the couples that never got their chance!

5. Balthier and Ashe - Final Fantasy XII

So some may even argue this was never going to be a thing. Balthier just has other things on his mind like saving the world and being the leading man. I would argue though that the ending when he gives back the ring just makes you think.

4. Raynor and Kerrigan - Starcraft Series

When Wings of Liberty ended you thought this was finally going to happen. She was finally no longer and evil murderous killing machine hellbent on killing everything. Except now she had to get her Zerg ways back to save the world and live Jim hanging. Who knows what we are in store for in Legacy of the Void, but I hoping to some form of ending to this.

3. Cloud and Aerith - Final Fantasy 7

Boys meets girl. Boy saves girl. Boy vows to protect girl. Girl runs off and tries to save the world. Crazy guy with giant sword kills girl in front of boy and all his friends. In one of the saddest moments in gaming history if you know the backstory you can actually feel the characters pain followed by the burial and just wow sucks to be Cloud. 

2. Ezio and Christina - Assassin's Creed

Now if the death of Aerith was sad I am not sure there is a word for Christina's. Ezio has to leave her behind after his family is killed to protect her. He later ensures she can have a husband that is worthy of her. He comes back when all the fighting he needed to was done only to have her die in his arms. Ya it still hurts.

1. Illidan and Tyrande - Warcraft Series

Now I am sure we can all agree that Cloud and Ezio got the short end of the stick. At least they could have had some form of peace finding others for themselves. Illidan saved the world twice, along with Tyrande's life, only to be imprisoned for 10,000 years, banished, exiled, and not to mention, she ended up choosing his twin brother over him. All he has for his efforts is a memento of her which he magically imbues so that it never fades. This is not only tragic, but awful in every possible way you can think. Poor guy, always doing the right thing, the wrong way.

There it is. So is there any complaints for this week's list? I am sure there will be so go ahead and let me know what they are!
