During my playthrough of Star Wars: The Old Republic's Knights of the Fallen Empire expansion, I thought to myself "I wonder how My Little Pony would play out if this kind of RPG was implemented into the series?"

This is how my idea would play out. The main story involves a colt emperor from a far away land invading Equestria with an army that dwarfs the Equestrian army. Even with allies like the Yaks, the Griffins and the Dragons, the Equestrian army is no match for the Imperial army. Even the likes of the three Alicorn Princesses, the Spirit of Chaos Discord, and the Mane 6's Rainbow Power is nothing compared to the magic of the Colt Emperor.

In her defeat, Twilight was stripped of her status as Princess by the Colt Emperor and banished from Equestria to the Imperial lands. Even more so, she lost her cutie mark, her wings, her strength, and even her unicorn horn, reducing her to an ordinary pony(Even less than an Earth Pony).

There, Twilight embarks on a quest across this beautiful, but dangerous, land to locate those who would oppose the Emperor's will and form a Rebel Alliance. Upon completing the introductory areas, Twilight will have a world map to explore alongside 5 new companions in hopes of bringing down the Emperor and saving her homeland of Equestria.

But that doesn't mean her old friends can't be involved. In fact, after locating her faithful assistant Spike, Twilight would explore the land to relocate all of her friends: Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy. In fact, all 5 of them are key to restoring her unicorn horn. With the help of Starlight Glimmer and Discord, Twilight can relocate all 3 missing Alicorns(Also stripped of their Princess Status, as well as being de-winged and de-horned) and only by restoring their alicorn magic can Twilight get her Alicorn magic back.

In addition to the Mane 5, Starlight, Discord and the Alicorns, Twilight can recruit many familiar faces from Equestria(Like Maud Pie, Derpy Hooves, Spitfire, Ms. Pommel, Dragon Lord Ember, Gilda the Griffin, Trixie, Thorax, Sunburst, Moondancer, Sunset Shimmer, Tree Hugger, Big Macintosh, Shining Armor, Daring Do, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders) to many newcomers that Twilight will befriend.

Of course, it's possible to beat the entire game with only the 5 newcomers that will aid Twilight by just choosing to confront the Emperor. However, it will be hard without grinding your level to 99. Speaking of which, everyone's level is tied just to one huge level. Meaning you don't have to grind each character that you unlock. In fact, the whole purpose of the game is to recruit as many companions as possible and get them out into the battlefield. You can also strengthen the rebel base by locating supplies. And if one were to collect all of the companions and beat the Emperor, a new area awaits with a unique final boss.

As for the gameplay, while many enjoy the more action-based style of Real Time RPGs like many MMOs, Star Wars: KOTOR, Final Fantasy XII, and Dragon Age, I would make it more like the oldskool Final Fantasies or Chrono Trigger. As Twilight gains more and more companions, they join in on the combat, with the limit being only the number of companions the player unlocks. Heck, you can even have a certain pony lead as opposed to Twilight.

These are my ideas for a My Little Pony RPG. If I could choose a developer for this project, it would be Obsidian Entertainment due to Bioware and Bethesda's dedication to other projects.
