Theres worse references in game already

Oh wait, hold on, let me look up all the copyright lawsuits that popped up over other references. Oh wait, I can't. Cuz there are none.
Who are you to say what belongs in the game or not?

Actually Lauren Faust and Hasbro have refused to file suit against people who have broken copyright on My Little Pony. They view it as free publicity. As long as your not selling hand made toys based directly off the characters in the show (You can sell rebranded characters you made yourself) they dont care. Thats why all those parody and edited videos on Youtube are all still up.

Obviously we all want our game to succeed, in a way, it's like a second home for us. But in order to make that happen, we do need way more subs. So we need to be mature and stop to think "Is this really going to benefit the future of this game or is it just another passing fad that will be funny for a while then just get old?". Don't get me wrong, I feel that MLP and all it's glory has a place, but I just don't think that place is FFXIV.

[wakka] Makes sense, ya? [/wakka]

People rage about My Little Pony reference when there is DBZ and other references already in the game? sad sad sad! I say keep the My Little Chocobo! name. Heck I think there is a quest even in WoW that plays on the My Little Pony.... people just are too prudish and "manly" and would be to embarassed to be associated with anything that is POPULAR in pop culture. Get over yourself if you have a problem with it... All you complainer's want to do is take away from any fun people could have with a little joke...

they did this in XI with all the parodies (BCNM's anyone?) i say let them keep it, WHO CARES WERE GETTING CHOCOBOS!! cant ppl be happy for that AFTER PLAYING THIS FOR A YEAR STRAIGHT?
