FF14: Crimson Liberators (Rough Japanese Translation for Stormblood)

Nothing says "Maelstrom" as much as "Stormblood".

It's why I like the current title of the expansion - it makes it sound as if the expansion was about Merlwyb and the Maelstrom instead of Doma and Ala Mhigo.

This was the reason. Koji Fox actually told a story about it during an interview at one of the Fanfests. They actually had quite a bit of trouble finding a good name they could copyright.

Crimson stuck in the duty finder for 3 hours again fighters. >.> I kid I'll be rolling a sam just like a lot of people.

On a somewhat related note, Heavensward is "The Azure Skies of Ishgard" in Japanese....that sounds pretty cool too.
