STORMBLOOD

I'm not a fan. It reeks of trying too hard to be edgy in a game that rarely let's "shite-hit-the-fan" in a meaningful and lasting way.

The title doesn't make too much sense, I think. At least Heavensward is similar to "Upward" as its a direction, but "Stormblood?" Maybe Bloodstorm would make more sense.

I guess we'll have to wait and see till 3.4 and beyond to see where the story is heading. So far we've got the Ala Mhigans being themselves and now they might have a leader to unite them. Then there's the Warriors of Darkness. And Garlemald just ... there.

A storm is brewing and one with a lot of bloodshed, it seems

yes it does make sense first heavensward meant to the moon and stormblood mean across the seas.

let take the risen before heavensward first there talk about upward which heavensward stormblood is and across the deserts

each risen has answer a question but also open up question each hint toward the next expansion

there talk about moon and across the desert we know warrior darkness was on the moon and we know that stormblood maybe across sea or across sea of sand

sometime a desert can be called a sea of sand

Agreed. It looks more like a new title attatched to Maelstrom players.

Saying it out loud sounds silly.

But it is what it is. If it is 4.0, I'll deal. I'm curious on the double means we'll get with it as we did with Heavensward.

Yeah, it'd kiiinda fit right in.

Not realy liking it, but I did not like Heavensward either and that name was likeable in time.

Uuuuh I'd love that :D
For several reasons.

Obviously because I'm a Maelstrom player and generally in love with the whole theme of wind as a synonym for freedom and a bringer of change.
When I read Stormblood, I don't think of bloodshed, I think of someone born with the power to bring change to..something.

Also, ofc, it makes me think of the sea.
And maybe Ixal. But preferably the sea xD

So I'm super exited because it gets my hopes up that we'll go to Othard instead of Ala Mhigo (which I was not very exited about, tbh).
And maybe we'll even get swimming if we have to cross the ocean <3
And underwater temples like in old FF games!

Aaaah man, now I'm way too hyped :o

Has almost a Norse ring to it.... I suddenly have an urge to become a viking kitty.

That wanted to go with Blood Ocean, but Dethklok already did that.

Though if you want a laugh. . . just pretend this is the theme to the next expansion

Well if the next xpac does have water/swimming and all that, the Maelstrom probably would be front and center if the GCs are helping to take back Ala Mhigo.
