Cinematic-Palooza!

Blizzard has unleashed all the pre-rendered cinematics for 6.0 on their website. I caution anyone who is sensitive to spoilers that these videos contain some of the absolute biggest plot developments in the leveling process, and so I suggest caution and resistance. It contains cutscenes for the beginning and end of the Tanaan Jungle experience, as well as key moments for questing in Frostfire Ridge, Shadowmoon Valley, Talador, and Nagrand, all of which are... well, big moments, though that's all I'll say.

The only ones I wouldn't really consider spoileriffic at all are the Garrison cinematics. Each time you upgrade your garrison, you get a nice little endorsement from important people from your faction.

I really want to delve into all of this, but I'd basically just be summarizing them, with full spoilers. So if you don't mind the spoilers or you've already done the associate quests on the Beta, go check them out.

I'll say this: the cinematic team is doing great work. It's also pretty exciting that the new character models are pretty much what we're seeing in the cinematic. In WoW's first cinematic of this sort, Bolvar did look basically like human males did in-game, which is to say... a little dated. But then it was jarring to see Arthas and Tirion with far more up-to-date looking faces at the end of ICC. Now, however, our characters really do look that good.
