STORMBLOOD

Skulls for the skull throne where?

But in all seriousness, the name seems apparent to me that we will be sailing the ocean breaze and/or cleaning up another of Limsa Lominsa's "necessities". I'm intrigued however, considering the Ala Mhigo focus on what is left of 3.xx. We'll see in a few weeks in Vegas.

Are we sure this isn't that rpg in development right before Tanaka departed? It sounds dark.

That was a console game cancelled. Months later, it became Bloodmasque, a mobile game.

I like it, but mostly because I'm associating "blood" to lineage instead of bloodshed. The word blood itself tends to cause some controversy and leads to a more dark and edgy approach but I think it's mostly a cultural thing, since I don't think the name "STORMBLOOD" causes the same impact on the eastern players.

Plus there's the whole 'true meaning' thing. In the beginning Heavensward was a meaningless name just for the shivers until we got to see the story to why Heavensward is named Heavensward. On a heavy-story-based game such as XIV, I'm pretty sure that even the title STORMBLOOD has potential to grow on people if there's an in-dept meaning to it; and knowing this game it's pretty sure it'll have.

I still think the whole "blood" thing centers towards a lineage instead of a massive bloodshed, anyways.

Totally agree with all of it. But we shouldn't forget that the japanese title won't be stormblood. Heavensward is actually Blue Skies of Ishgard for them if I know correctly.
