BLU Confirmed?

[Cylla]

That's the concept art for Blue Mage in Final Fantasy XI.. not XIV.

Way to ruin the joke dude lol

...amidst the squall

Final Fantasy VIII cross-over confirmed. Primals were Guardian Forces all along. The Echo actually made all the Scions forget they went to the same school. Minfilia IS Ultimecia!

Like others have mentioned already, that proverb means (at least to me) is that Heavensward is at end and Stormblood is coming.
"Azure" means Heavensward because Heavensward in Japan had the title "Azure Skies of Ishgard". The "Crimson" means Stormblood and Stormblood in the Japanese version has the title "Crimson Liberation".

Well the one thing I got from that Spider Man shirt was that it was colored RED and BLUE and that Peter Parker was always late when it came to deadlines. So hopefully the latter is a hint to Storm Blood's expansion.

I hope that was not a hint that 4.0 get delayed

If it's just a poem on how HW is ending and SB is coming, then it's fairly redundant. We know that. Everyone knows that. But these poems have always had hints about future things. I don't see why they would break the mold now and state "Oh yeah, Heavensward is ending, Stormblood is coming, please look forward to it", when that's been known for a very long time now.

There must be something else here.

Here's a theory...

We know that red mage will be unlocked in or around one of the starting cities. Presumably the second job will be as well. Perhaps this is letting us know that Red Mage (crimson) will be unlocked in and around Ul'dah (embers = Immortal Flames) which is in the east (sun rise), and that Blue Mage (azure) will be unlocked in and around Limsa Lominsa (squall = Maelstrom) which is in the west (sun set).

We know HW is ending and next is Stormblood, but what this poem may be saying is that the story of Stormblood begins in 3.5, leading to 4,0, the same way as they did with ARR to HW.

And I think you can relate those two sentences to two characters.

Crimson = the woman in the teaser
Azure = Steinien. (Azure lost amidst sqall may means that he is traveling with no destination as we noticed after the end of Dragonsong War)

But I bet this poem is only related to where the main story is turning and none to do with Jobs.

Another poin that states what I said in my previously post. Look at Eorzea´s Map

West = Ishgard (where we were in ms)
East = Ala Mhigo (where the ms is going now)

It could apply to either scenario. The MSQ/expansion tack is the obvious meaning, but there could also be a hidden meaning below the surface.

If we're lucky, Blue Mage will be based on its original design and not its awful outfit from XI.

Hmmm, looks alot like a Superhero. If we do get this version, how will they make the capes work?
