From Yoshi-P's New Year's Letter I got in an email this morning.

Look ye where the sun doth rise,
See crimson embers, dark'ning skies,
Look ye where the sun doth fall,
See azure lost amidst the squall.

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.
