Kinda what I was thinking. Seems to obviously allude to the Ascian presence, but overall sounds weak for an expansion name. Would've expected something a bit more subtle.
If you say so.
Titles usually have a multiple meanings to them.
Heavensward:
1) Reference to Dragoons (Kain in Dissidia shouted Heavensward! when he used his Pride of the Dragoons EX Burst)
2) Flying mounts
3) The Heaven's Ward faction
4) The WoL, having fallen from glory is trying to regain his/her blessing of Hydalyn once more
Shadowbringers might refer to us going to the moon and/or the ascians who are the opposite of the WoL (Which are "light bringers", also the ultimate sword in FFXI was called Lightbringer)
I thought it was also because the WoL is a ward of heaven...Titles usually have a multiple meanings to them.

We need to bring the shadows to the hunters so they can hunt them, clearly :P
