First thing that came into my head when i read the first gage <y> also plz plz plz keep the name
Theres worse references in game alreadySE 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
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.
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.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:

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...
