Firstly, let me state that, purely from my personal preference and perspective, I'm not happy at all with this news. I was really hoping this would just be a rumor. I also agree with Jair, mostly. This does change things. Originally, I could hope that alicorn Twilight may be a temporary thing, or that maybe she won't be a full powerful alicorn. But now she's meant to be a Princess too? Why!? This isn't something that can last for an episode.
These things, alicorns and titles of royalty, they were things of reverence in this universe, and that was understood. Princess Celestia. Princess Luna. Movers of the sky itself. Suddenly, now, Twilight is an alicorn and as Princess too? There's absolutely no reason for any of this.
Secondly, let me state that while I don't like this, I won't freak out or overreact. I'm happy to see you guys are not either. If it happens, it happens. That's life. As well, too be completely fair, there have been numerous times before when episode spoilers made everyone scream and worry (super duper girly wedding in season 2, anyone?), yet I noticed in many cases these episodes turned out to be the better ones. The team behind the show has proven they can make this stuff work.
Still, as Jair said, even if the episode itself is good and enjoyable, this still changes everything from this point on. I worry in that regard.
EDIT: The Phoenix Wright crossover (Turnabout Storm) part 4 is being processed by Youtube AS I TYPE. There is a loving God!
I was under the impression I may have been the only person in the thread who cared for this; which is odd, as I normally don't enjoy these sort of things, nor do I know of or enjoy Phoenix Wright. I guess it's because this one is so well done. Whatever it is, thanks for letting me (us) know.
I really wouldn't mind if it was a one time thing. She gives up her wings and her princesshood to stay with her friends. Not terribly original, but way better than having her stay an alicorn. Hercules references get made, we all go home, the end.

I think I've started deluding myself into believing that this HAS to happen. Welp, I'm 100% GREAT with that. I LOVE that idea. It sounds likely! I'm rolling with it.
lalalalala
Actually, it's because the points against full transformation are VERY sound. And Twilight is the element of friendship, she would NEVER abandon her friends and the MLP staff are smarter than this. (I hope. Maybe cast change. I'm fine with that and it makes as much marketing sense.)
I'm calmed down now. I really am.

Ohai. I'm THAT guy. You know me.
Something something Fimgaming. Shameless Z. Plug out.
I love how Saberspark and ACRacebest managed to create pretty much the same exact thing within one hour of each other.
Seriously.
LOOK AT HOW SIMILAR THEY ARE. I bet it was planned.
generic thoughts:
This entire season has been really iffy, with a good amount of people who hate or love each episode separately. This'll be the topping on the cake, and I'm just going to wait 'til it comes out before I ragequit fandom
this is not a spoiler about this in any way storywise
"To be concluded in part 5/4"
Oh I hate you. Yet I can't. You had me on the edge of my seat, and that's a lot of.. how should I say... BULLCRAP.
Then again, it's been too long to make your fans wait. Good on them, and still a little annoying. You promise four parts, well here comes part SIX. Yeah, Twilight/Phoenix split earlier and now this.
EDIT: Immortal Game just ended.

Hm... Was it any good? I haven't really been caught up on that.
I think it's really funny though, I'm on /mlp/ right now in the background and sad Arabian Knights sort of music is playing in the background, the title, "WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?". They're all freaking out. I for one like the idea she'll give her Alicornhood up, but what if it goes the other way, and they all become Alicorn princesses. Just saying that it could happen, if only for one episode.
I literally haven't been on here for two months I think. But I'll try and come on here a bit when I have time. In recent news I do have a confirmed brony at my school, but I don't really like him. He seems to be on the side of the scale that is extreme in that regard.
Hm... Was it any good? I haven't really been caught up on that.
It was rather casual and quickly done. It also didn't wrap everything up, but I can't mention what specifically as you said you haven't kept up with it lately, so I don't know what you have or have not read yet. There's some loose threads, and overall the ending was unsatisfactory for me. Endings usually suck anyways, but I was hoping for better.
Moving on:
No, Lyra, I honestly don't think you can.
I am gone for just one day and a lot of stuff happens. Very well...
Long time no see falox. About a year. Hope you have a nice time while you are around here.

For those who care
The next realease was scheduled for January 16 but was delayed. Probably will come out january the 30° or Februrary the 6° i may "stumble" upon it 2 or one day later. At least that is what my not very reliable source says.
So i came here for some confirmation and found the news. Lets go by parts:
I do not really like this decision but i wont go ranting over it besides now i am genuinely curious about how this will be handled in the show. Before i just had an idle curiosity about how the end product (finale) would be. the same curiosity i have when i wondering how the climate will be today.
However one thing i am enjoying is the huge amount of ranting and bronies flipping out everywhere. I would be lying if i say i am not having lots of fun watching everyone freak out. It made my day. In fact in a small latin brony forum i am a part of the topic sprawled 6 pages in less than a day. And the comments are hilarious
Yet i would have rathered they not telling us. tomorrow all this fuss will be over and the fun along with it. Imagine if they had kept this as a surprised and revealed it in the middle of the episode! The backslash would have been titanic. And as fun as possible. As a matter of fact i wanted this to happen just to see that.
I am such a terrible person
I do have a few more comments on the topic but alas it is late and i have college tomorrow so maybe some other day.
Besides everyone is reading Inmortal Game now so i am probably talking alone....

It was good. It felt a little unnecessary, since it didn't really resolve any of the really big questions, except what happened to Twi, but still, it was good, and I did get a few warm-fuzzies.
Gorramit, Sherclop Pones. You tried to tell us. You tried to warn us. Why didn't we listen?
Oh yeah, I forgot. Hi Faloxx! I already sort of said hi on dA but oh well. Nice to have you around again.
And then this happened.
totally not rubbing it your faces
Also, I'm taking an art class, as I mentioned WAY back Mayish of last year. And now I have it for second semester, and I'm not doing so terribly. Just gotta wait til we learn how to draw animals/humans/faces/living things, and then I'll be able to attempt it. AND, I'm also taking a communications class, where we basically learn how to use CS4 to edit stuff. So hopefully I'll learn how to use that properly and I'm set to start doing stuff and making pony drawings!
Also, (spoilers and for SSky
My day was already in my top 10 worst days ever today. So I didn't really need confirmation that the third worst trope of terrible fanfiction had been added to season 3. I guess it was inevitable. They already did Trixie returns to Ponyville (and it was just as bad as the fanfics) and Discord comes back (surprisingly not as bad as fanfiction). I have one hope. I said it here: >>769002 (edit: link again) Baring that, I think I know what episode is finally going to beat That (yay forum censor bleeps) Owl. Twi had better stay with her friends. Having her going off and being a princess in Canterlot/Crystal Kingdom/Hasbro's toy Department while the other five stay would be utter (bleep). It's not the wings, it the >princess part that's going to (bleep) (bleep) up. People talk about being excited to take the series in a new direction, which is doubelspeak for screw up a good thing. To be blunt: I don't like the adventure eps near as much as the slice of life eps. Had Mrs Faust's original vision of weekly adventures (which Zecora as the quest giver) been realized, I'd never had made it past episode 3 or 4. I'm not /quiting the fandom yet, but they have managed to kill any enthusiasm I had about the remainder of the season. Yes, it's only two eps, but I can hardly be (bleep) to give any (bleep) anymore.
Yes, I've decided to come back. See what's going on in here. It's been a while. I brought a vector I finished not too long ago. I worked so long on it :s Feedback always appriciated
Looks nice, though spotted a little misalignment below the left goggle on RD "one beside RDs hoof". The darker outside line of the goggle does not go into the brighter rim in front. You will see it when you do. It is a tiny line sticking out. "Yes I can spot things like this, just me, but you ask for feedback and I gave".
The other one has a similar issue also just to say.
I really do like that Octavia. The Celestia a bit too, even with the slightly off face.
Yes, not to happy with Celestia, but it is good enough I cannot bother anymore. I left SAI for shading and coloring and moved to Photoshop. Octavia was the first in Photoshop I ever have painted/colored.
However do note since that post, I have revised her a bit, mostly that is the eyes. The previous eyes bothered me enough to fix them.

CS4, thankfully if that is what they use or so then moving to CS6 will not be a issue as not a whole lot of the GUI is changed. Though filters menu got a annoying rework.
You have a long road, depends how much practice and study, of those you want to be able to do. I have done doodles and stuff since 2007, quit in 2009 to late 2010, started again in 2011+ and still not gotten to far. I mean yes my shading is quite nice for me, but not exactly nowhere near perfected. Sketching of various things still need to work.
I will say this, the Mixer Brush is a wonderful brush, given the computer or so you are using can handle it. Even with my i5-2500k here, it can drive it to 80% and work "slowly" when brushing. However it is insanely nice for making various things, such as hair, clouds, and many other things.
The image I finished awhile ago took I say maybe 10-13 hours "lots of slacking", but I made quite a bit of usage of the mixer brush for it.
Side note, I am no Photoshop pro.
I raise a Surprise with a Surprise.
As for this Twilight Sparkle "thing", I partake in no discussion of it at all. I knew this day would come, and I knew the results it would have. However again, I partake in no discussion on it, nor give a valid thought on my view on it.

Where have I seen this before?
Why is there no superrep button?
But among Background pony and Turnabout storm and this, I think my day averaged a "Bluh." Not awful.
Anyways, I think I'll quiet down about the issue after one post.
Mr. Larson, I respect you and (most) of your work, please shut up.
You are trying to dispel fears. Stop confirming them.
If you're worried that TS can't hang w her friends bc of this, @KeatingRogers is the Alicorn of animation writers and we're still friends.
We're still in the "Denial" stage Larson, and we like it here, it's quiet. We are perfectly willing to deny you'll have to pull such a suish move, and that's what's keeping us calm.
Anyways, today's "Resume work on the last few chapters of With Wings as Eagles and first few of Out of Obscurity" day, so probably will be out of here for a while.
Maybe tomorrow will be "Re-begin to read Dangerous Business FINALLY" day. It's been almost two years, yeesh.
