"See azure lost amidst the squall."
While back in XI azure stood for BLU, here it DRG. It could simply mean that DRG story is coming to an end as we say goodbye to Heavensward and start our descend into Far East patches/Bloodstorm.
Though one can hope and trust me, I'd love to see BLU come into this game but, I don't think it'll be in Bloodstorm.
I think you need to check the definitions of "confirm" and "hint"
and also think about if its a 3.5 hint or a 4.0 hint.
This, this, forever this. If it is 'confirmed' then Yoshi P would come out and say 'The next job is Blue Mage'.
It does however amuse me when all he has to say is a colour and people immediately look far too much into it. What next, he looks at his watch and suddenly OMG TIME MAGE CONFIRMED everywhere?
I think it's just referring to the next expansion. Heavensward had a blue colour scheme so we say goodbye to it and welcome Stormblood with its red colour palette.
The red consuming the blue is for me just Stormblood replacing Heavensward. Can we stop with BLU now? It's not gonna happen c:
I agree, RDM is real, SAM is all but confirmed, and that may be it or maybe another. Red Mage and Samurai are pretty huge as Final Fantasy jobs go, I just don't see Beastmaster or Blue Mage, or any other big jobs as I think they are planning this game to go ten years or so and so they cant use up all the good jobs at once.
Note, I am not against the idea of Blue Mage, its just my opinion of how I would do it. I would pace my jobs, but I'm not a DEV and they may very well add it.
The shirt was red and BLACK. There was no blue in the shirt he was wearing lol.
Yoshi-P is just trolling everyone.
OP is right Blue Mage is confirmed here is some concept art *wink*

If we're lucky, Blue Mage will be based on its original design and not its awful outfit from XI.

We all know BLU would be awesome, but is anyone else wondering if that bird thingy he's riding in the picture of him as a RDM is what the Kirin bird will look like? :'D
Like others have mentioned already, that proverb means (at least to me) is that Heavensward is at end and Stormblood is coming.
"Azure" means Heavensward because Heavensward in Japan had the title "Azure Skies of Ishgard". The "Crimson" means Stormblood and Stormblood in the Japanese version has the title "Crimson Liberation".
If it's just a poem on how HW is ending and SB is coming, then it's fairly redundant. We know that. Everyone knows that. But these poems have always had hints about future things. I don't see why they would break the mold now and state "Oh yeah, Heavensward is ending, Stormblood is coming, please look forward to it", when that's been known for a very long time now.
There must be something else here.
Here's a theory...
We know that red mage will be unlocked in or around one of the starting cities. Presumably the second job will be as well. Perhaps this is letting us know that Red Mage (crimson) will be unlocked in and around Ul'dah (embers = Immortal Flames) which is in the east (sun rise), and that Blue Mage (azure) will be unlocked in and around Limsa Lominsa (squall = Maelstrom) which is in the west (sun set).
We know HW is ending and next is Stormblood, but what this poem may be saying is that the story of Stormblood begins in 3.5, leading to 4,0, the same way as they did with ARR to HW.
And I think you can relate those two sentences to two characters.
Crimson = the woman in the teaser
Azure = Steinien. (Azure lost amidst sqall may means that he is traveling with no destination as we noticed after the end of Dragonsong War)
But I bet this poem is only related to where the main story is turning and none to do with Jobs.
Another poin that states what I said in my previously post. Look at Eorzea´s Map
http://www.ffxivinfo.com/images/maps...aps-eorzea.jpg
West = Ishgard (where we were in ms)
East = Ala Mhigo (where the ms is going now)
It seems hinky to me, too. We had a red and blue reference when HW was barely out and there was no red to connect with anything with the 2015 Rising event. Since then we've had the colors in the trailer, a T-shirt with a superhero who is famous for those colors in his costume, and now a poem mentioning the colors again.
