SHADOWBRINGERS

[Stormfur]

Oh I'm sure there will be some other evil-doers to replace the Ascians.

[Alleo]

Which begs the question "Are WE the Shadowbringers?". Will we be put in a similar position to the Warriors of Darkness, now that we understand that the imbalance of light can be equally destructive?

I doubt it (and hope that this wont happen) because we were on the losing side since we had quite a few calamities already. The WoL is kinda bringing the balance back towards the middle ground since we are the crystals last hope. If they suddenly turn around and say that we are just destroying the planet with our action I would kinda facepalm..because "what exactly do we do then? But thats just me.

Isn't it obvious? We should ditch the Scions, let Eorzea fend for itself, and go roam the world doing whatever we want instead of helping people.

I'm glad that guy posted the link to the Stormblood name speculation and seeing all the people saying how horrible it is and how it doesn't fit and people saying the same things now. It's very funny to see. lol However, it's time for speculation and fun yay!

[EorzeaHero69]

Most likely gonna involve Ascians more often.

It's like I told that lala journalist from the Rising Event.


Adventurers should not be participating in wars.

Would it matter even if they named it FFXIV: Peanut Butter and Jelly?

It's just a name. :P

[Berteaux_Braumegain]

I like it, makes me wonder who exactly these "shadowbringers" will be. Is it referring to the Ascians perhaps? Would be nice to finally take the fight directly to them after so long.

I would care very much about fighting the Ascians were it not for the fact that the only named ones that aren't dead are... Elidibus.

I do recall the Stormblood trademark was filed at around this same time two years ago, but I also remember that the Stormblood reveal was just a week after during the NA fanfest that year as well. Might be a bit early this time around. Hmm.

Only Lahabrea, Igeyorhm, and Nabriales are dead. And a few nameless ones. Loghrif, Emet-Selch, Mitrod, Fandaniel, Pashtarot, Halmarut, Emmeroloth, and Deudalaphon are all most likely still alive. While I am pulling from the list of opposing light scions from FFXII, several of them are named in the cut scene that follows your first completion of The Praetorium that never again show up. Pashtarot actually does show up in the scene. All except Lahabrea are unmasked with Igeyorhm being a blue haired midlander female with long hair, and Pashtarot being a blond male with the basic spikey hair.

Link to that cut scene at the start: https://youtu.be/Gx7vkh6KUhM?t=14m48s

I would say if ANYTHING, they still have Pashtarot at minimum before they're out of ones who actually have been named, but it's most likely that in bringing him back in, at least 1 or 2 more would also be showcased. They might end up being fodder for Shadow Hunter though.
