SHADOWBRINGERS

SE has a lot of other trademarks going on. Plus "Prelude to Violet."


I doubt it would be Shadowbringers. That doesn't sound like the name of an expansion, but that's just me.

It's "Prelude in Violet", not "to Violet".

With the whole daycycle theory (ARR for Morning, HWs blue for Day and SBs red for Sundown), the Prelude to the next Expansion being in Violet before fading into a Black/monochrome colorscheme, the name "Shadowbringer" seems at least like a viable option to me.

This is why: Shadowbringers sounds like what you'd call the Ascians if you were a child or superstitious old crone. It doesn't fit, in my opinion.

Why not, though? We'll have to deal with the Ascians sooner or later anyway. And if it actually ends up being the name for the new expansion it'll likely mean more then we think it does; after all, neither Heavensward nor Stormblood are as one-dimensional in meaning as they sound at first.

Whoops. Thanks for the correction.

And I'm not disagreeing that fading to black/monochrome could happen. I just think calling it Shadowbringers is dumb and it's not a good name.

Could Shadowbringers be 4.5 patchname?

I could still see a Shadowbringers expansion with a violet color sceme and lightning elemental start screen. (many dark elemental effects associated with Ascians are purplish)

It sounds kind of awkward. Too many syllables?

The other expansion titles are also more of an abstract concept, while this would refer to a person or thing. (I think this is what Aerlana is meaning as well.)

[Hazama999]

Lol. You know what else sounds awkward?

Stormblood.

Stormblood.

I don’t know. It sounded epic to me - stormblood. Same with heavensward. Shadowbringers though sounds like a job posting...

Bloodstorm sounds epic.
Stormblood sounds new agey.
Shadowbringers sounds....eh. Watch the logo be an umbrella.

Well, We each have our own preference of what sounds epic, hence the words “to me”. If I remember correctly ,the titles have been used in the in-game text and when I came across them the tile just made sense to me.

Yeah, I didn’t mean anything by it.
Shadowbringers does leave things up in the air though, which is always what this game needs more of.
