Apparently somepony has already started working on a MLP game.

As much as I love Trollestia, this is really sweet.

Ninja'd. You watch Ponibooru too?

Yep. Although I'm getting pissed off at all the wank at black Twilight going around.

The site isn't that bad; just have to watch the tags to avoid the really bad stuff. I mean, Pony Nazis? Really internet?

• twiddling his toes and looking down*

I... sh... should I really check this show out?

• blushing*

I'm a grown man, and yet the demographic is primarily male, but I still feel uncomfortable about the potential that my weekly life may be taken over partially by a children's cartoon full of girly rainbow sunshine ponies.

I'm more disturbed about fans applying sexuality to a children's show that has none.

"Girly rainbow sunshine ponies", lawl...

...

...wait, you were serious?

To be fair there's only one "rainbow" one, and none revolving around sunshine.

that, and your 'weekly life' isn't in danger for another...six months or so? what with the first season having ended now.

All that said, of course every person here is going to recommend it, and we aren't here for no reason. It's cleverly written, well animated, and has excellent production costs - really, the only detriment is the brand.

^^ What about Princess Celestia?

Your daily life may be threatened, though, if it becomes an obsession.

oh fuck forgot about that

If you go on a show specific thread and ask if that show is worth watching, you really shouldn't expect any answer except yes. Give it a shot, and if you find your love of ponies embarrassing, you wouldn't be the first to watch in secret.

In other news, its only a matter of time until she's free.

D:

As fun as that would probably be, her hyperactiveness might cause chaos.

^^ Hey! Those plans were supposed to be top secret!!!!!

I wonder what would happen if Pinkie could fuck with our reality too.

It would be horrible and yet insanely fun at the same time.

Now I wonder what sorts of things she'd do. Probably the same things she does in the show, like manipulating her friends' actions through song.

I imagine she'd throw lots of parties. And enforce secret keeping with extreme prejudice.

Alright, since no one objected, here's a link to my MLP:Fi M / FF 13 crossover screen: [1]◊

I did get a little lazy in some places, especially with matching up the text and stuff, but this was originally supposed to just be a gag mock-up. It's kind of telling that working on this has made me seriously consider getting my hands on and learning Photoshop so I can make a better version. >.>

EDIT: Ok, one sec, trying to figure out how to get my link to show up as a link and not have TV Tropes try to display it...

EDIT 2: Ok, I guess that works, sorry about that. You can probably tell I'm not used to the syntax here.

There's room for two in this universe!

Speaking of which guys, I decided to set down a few ideas and here's the Plot Bunny that I dug up for a hypothetical MLP J-RPG. Here, for your perusal:

It starts out, Celestia is sick with a seemingly incurable illness, and without her to run things (I'm still trying to capture a plot bunny for Luna) the weather is going haywire. Celestia manages to get out a message to Twilight, saying that the situation is even worse than she knows and there is only one way to fix everything: she and her friends have to find a being known as "The Mother Pony, " but this pony lives "beyond the borders of Equestria."

Zecora also tells Twilight that there's this weird rock in the Everfree forest that she always sees lights and hears strange sounds coming from. When the mane cast walk around this rock they wind up in the human world, which is also being affected by weather anomalies and strange goings-on. They bring the Elements of Harmony with them, but one of the Elements gets stolen and the ponies discover that if they're not wearing an Element while in humanspace, they become human (Spike doesn't change, for whatever reason).

...I've kind of got writer's block beyond this point, but a few more niggling little kittens:

They meet characters from the G1 series, but the G1 characters are all thirty years older than in the old series. Also, the Equestria ponies are considered gods by the Ponyland ponies.

I kind of want Nightmare Moon to return in some capacity, but I don't want Luna to be evil (actually I'd like to see Luna as a sort of advisor character). I'm trying to think of ways Nightmare Moon could be a totally different person from Luna.

It eventually turns out that "the Mother Pony" is the Horsehead Nebula and also the final boss, but there's a trick to it: to get the best ending, you have to let it win. I'm ironing out the explanation for this right now, but its related to the fact that you have "will to fight" instead of "hit points."

So, critiquify please?

I wonder what would happen if Pinkie had Suzumiya's powers...

...

Why do I suddenly feel the urge to write fanfiction?

@Dantes: The setup is good, and keeps Celestia from being a Deus ex Machina, but I don't know about bringing the ponies to the human world. A big draw for any pony related game is playing around in Equestria, so I don't know if taking the plot away from there is a good idea. I like that the show doesn't bring humans into the mix like the older shows did.

Bringing in older generations of ponies works as long as they don't steal the spotlight too much. It seems like most fans of the show aren't that familiar with them, and would probably rather see the ponies they know, even the ones who are mostly characterized by fan works.

As for Nightmare Moon, I've seen that some outside force was manipulating Luna, so you could go that direction with it and have anyone be possessed. (Nightmare Derp!(Okay, probably not))

And, as someone upthread suggested, you should pick something other than will to fight for your HP equivalent. The idea is fine, but you don't want every character to have a "WTF" bar.
