STORMBLOOD

[Savagelf]

as will Raubahn Aldynn even though Raubahn Stormblood has nice ring to it

i wonder if Raubahn had give up his last name

To those saying Stormblood didn't make much sense, I am rather inclined to read it in the sense of blood = family, lineage, rather than literally. I think "Stormblood" may be referring to a person or a family, like a title of some kind.

It does sound like a title, much like Estinien Wyrmblood. So it would not surprise me if there was a person or organization with it. Kinda like Heaven's Ward being a pun of Heavensward.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was either the name of the Ala Mhigan resistance, or the masked dude in the 3.4 trailer who seems will be central to said resistance.

[Heliantheae]

I love it. I hope it is a title. Remilia the Stormblood, I like the sound of that.

[CaptainLagbeard]

Well... We ARE getting a new GC Rank according to the producer letters, and if Stormblood has to do with Maelstrom titles, the other equivalent titles would be Serpentblood and Flameblood...

[Dualblade]

I love it. I hope it is a title. Remilia the Stormblood, I like the sound of that.

First Scarlet Devil now Stormblood? Why does Remilia get all the good names!

Thing is, 3.4 story hasn't even come out yet, which is where where the story starts building towards the next expansion. If that is the name of the expansion, it should make more sense after going through 3.4 and 3.5 story. My opinion of the name is pretty neutral, but I'm not quick to judge and I'm going to wait and see how it all pans out.

STORMBLOOD sounds nice and the ocean in the poem makes me believe we will see an aquatic world in the next expansion!...

Is there any source on this? I mean, SE registers names as trademarks all the time but it doesn't mean they ever actually do anything with them (remember they also registered the name 'Chrono Break' as a trademark years ago and similarly the fan community erupted thinking that it was 'proof' of a third Chrono game.... only to be bitterly disappointed when the anticipated third title was never announced and the name was never used at all.).

All I'm saying is, don't be so quick to assume that just because a name is trademarked that it automatically means that will be the 4.0 expansion title (it could be a whole new game un-releated to FFXIV for that matter).
