A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

Yeah this is why you keep stuff quite till it's done. Granted that makes it more likely the people making it might not go through with it, or not finish if they don't have support of people waiting but, you need to balance things. Also, something as minor as name changes, someone will have a patch made for that before it's even released.
Oh so your a speciest? Would you be upset about her deciding to start dating a Zebra?

Starswirl Academy looked pretty far removed from the source material anyway, so changing the names is all that's really required. With Fighting Is Magic, the characters looked exactly like they did in the show; just a name swap wouldn't have done it.
Reaction Image RepositoryWhat?! No! I mean, it'd certainly be unexpected, but a zebra's still pretty close to a pony as far as I can tell. But humans might as well be lizard monsters from Pluto compared to ponies.
Imagining my sister as another species doesn't really help matters any.
I'm not a lawyer, but if I had to guess, I'd say it was because Fi M was using the actual pony designs, which are presuambly trademarked too. In Starswirl's case, only the names are trademarked since the rest is just humanizations.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayThe Pope himself crowned the makers with the Iron Crown of Lombardy during Mass on Christmas Day, declaring them to be the developers of a My Little Pony fangame. They then proceeded to invade the Caliphate of Cordoba, an act that would later be memorialised in the Song of Roland.

My pragmatic guess: because they were going to make an H-version of it too and human-school-girlized is the devs' fetish.
And yes, despite the lessons that should have been learned, everyone is quite eager to shoot themselves in the foot with a fully automatic machine gun.

Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayFUCK. I just got done dealing with the most irritating customer EVER at my moms shop.
She was here for over an hour and a half. After about an hour, she brought me a pile of small items to buy. After 5 minutes adding it all up I told her what the total was.
She came back 15 minutes later with ANOTHER pile. So I added THAT in, and by that time she had MORE items, one of which had no tag so that was a pain to deal with. Then the calculator had turned itself off so I had to add it all up AGAIN.
Then, when that was all done, she had me make an ITEMIZED receipt. Which we have to do by hand. So that took ANOTHER ten minutes.
AND SHE BROUGHT ANOTHER ITEM AFTER THAT.
http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/Yeah it would the character will have the same personalities as the show ones. So really just add in a patch to replace the names and boom.
Also, anyone have a link to the list of numbers Meghan tweeted? Given the first number was 5, looks like that was the a list of the episodes with songs in them.

IP holders are legally obligated to shut down anything that looks like it's gaining steam. The legal teams watch Equestria Gaming. They try not to be too heavy-handed on everything in sight for the sake of PR, but if something looks like an unlicensed project is going to move out of the sandbox and be finished, they have to act.
Personally I don't think anything of value was lost this time because fucking visual novels. But...I mean really now. This is not a hard concept to grasp and you'd think it would've been clear enough after Fighting is Magic and MLP Online.
