What do you think the name of the next expac could be?

[Seraphor]

I'm guessing an Allagan/Dragon/Meracydia focused expansion myself, considering Yoshi P suggested we brush up on our HW lore for the next expansion.

As for the name... I just hope it isn't abbreviated to SB.

Apparently SE filed a new trademark for

'Crossblade'

this year in the same month they applied for the 'Shadowbringers' trademark back in the day - May.
Make of that what you will.

EDIT: Just to make sure, a TM in the same timeframe does not point to it absolutely being the next expansions's name. For all we know it could be the name of the other game that Yoshi's division (Creative Unit 3) is developing.

I really like that name and hope that is indeed the name. Most importantly, it doesn't start with S.

Well, just checked the US Trademarks system, TESS, and I do see that word registered by two companies, neither are Square Enix, and both are almost a decade old, with one of them being no longer valid. I Check what Square Has Registered recently, and frankly, I saw nothing to suggest a future Expansion. Unless ...

COLLECTIVE

... is the next expansion, but something tells me it's unrelated.

note doing further investigation, that is in their own words...

...is a division of Square Enix Ltd, based in London, UK, but working with development partners all around the world.

so still looking and I got nothing.

list of most recent US Trademarks... picture in spoilers.

Yes, I’m actually on the lookout of this myself. The expansion name is usually trademarked a year before the release around the time of The Rising event. Though like that other question, where does one actually check these trademarks?

As for my own guess of what the name would be, I think of something with finality, since the next expansion is supposed to end the Ascian arc... so I’m thinking GODSLAYERS.... I think it’s far fetched and not sure what an equivalent Japanese translation related to the ivory and white color would be but I can only take a stab like everybody else. Lol.

Where did you see this Crossblade trademark? I don’t see it in the US site

Ah my apologies, it seems I forgot to specify that the trademark was in Japan.... which is an admittedly big reason why we shouldn't put all our eggs in one basket for this. Sorry about that lack of information.
