Crimson is Red Mage announcement. East comes before west as the sun rises and sets in the evening.
Azure is Blue. West comes second and would be the second announcement.

I think it's pretty clear it's Blue Mage.
No, Crimson is Stormblood, and Azure is Heavensward. The titles of both expansions in Japanese are Azure skies of Ishgard and Crimson Rebellion (or Liberation, I dont remember lol).
