Ahhhh yes... I was beginning to wonder when you would make this thread Moose. Thank you.

Indeed, I read the news of the registered trademark "Shadowbringers" this afternoon and my mind immediately began associating a bevy of elements to the word. First off, there is the signature "violet" aura that the Ascians are known for; however, lets also keep a very secondary and (insignificant?) bit of information on a loose but nearby leash... lets keep in mind that violet (or purple) is the colour of Emperors.

This leads me to think that maybe...just maybe... patch 4.4 and 5.0 will also deeply explore the political underpinnings in Garlemald (a notion that has me very interested). Plus, I remember from the Stormblood opening cutscene, there is a brief moment when the camera pans over the new map of Hydaelyn... and we see Garlemald already enshrouded in dark thunderous clouds (with a violet hue, no less).

Which makes me agree with you that there is progression of Violet into Twilight.

Yep.

Plus, I really can't wait to see Shadowhunter gradually become a central figure in the coming storyline... including Lucia, Maxima and Nero. And this is also the patch (or expansion) where I hope to see Cid really face the reality of his weighty responsibility as the empire's foremost intellectual (arguably).

This is going to be excellently wicked.
