    And we want the devs to know that we support their tongue in cheek jokes, but sometimes they become so fitting they should just implement them in game. Half the content in XI and XIV are both named after popular culture items.

    The whole reason Corsair became the job it was in FFXI was because of Pirates of the Caribbean.

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.

    SE can carry on with all the jokes their little hearts desire, and I encourage them to do so. But it ends there. This does not belong in-game. There are two issues here:

    - Copyright infringements
    - My Little Pony references appear childish to outsiders, and may steer new players away from this game

    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.
