"
A crystal pony clearly calls her 'the crystal princess' during the scene. This is an interesting thing to call her, because we can say with some amount of accuracy that Cadance was not alive a thousand years ago when the Crystal Empire vanished, because we see her much younger when she was babysitting Twilight."
anyone else think this is interesting? and not only that...
"Behold, the Crystal Princess!" - random crystal pony: 37:07
Cadence's Cutie mark IS the Crystal Heart. (This pretty much confirms that Cadence is the descendant of the last ruler of the Crystal Empire before the Evil King showed up. Also begs the question if the throne holder truly remains the same, or if they pass on their rule once in a while.)"
so....with that in mind do you think theres more behind this pink alicorn then we know?

Either that or she just looks like the old crystal princess and they have her confused. There are a few similar examples like this in other shows and films, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.
you may be right but that still doesnt explain why her cutie mark is the crystal heart.
thats something to think about y'know

I really think that this plot would have been better suited for a feature length MLP:FIM film.

If she is implemented in this we will surely know it during s3
But it would make sense.
The Empire needs Love and Hope to spread and her Magic is the pure Love
But it can also be since shes so nice and full of love = cutie mark Crystal Heart

Her cutiemark is not the crystal heart the cutiemark or her talent is spreading love or whatever so its just a coincerdence that the cutiemark and crystal heart are blue

Friendship is Magic has always been about building something greater than the sum of its parts, and as those parts grow in number, the potential for the series continues to grow. Season 3 looks to be heading in very new and different directions from its earlier roots, and only time will show us exactly where that is. Of course, when it does come to light, we'll be here to dive in deeper and poke at all the little things that makes it tick.
So I guess what I'm saying is, fanfic writers? Get to work.
I copied this from EqD but i would've said it exactly this way!

The Season 3 premier is what I would refer to as a "world building" episode. The primary purpose is to expand on our understanding of Equestria and its borders, denizens, and history. By painting with broad strokes, it accomplishes this and sets a foundation for a large number of stories to come. Will we see more of the Crystal Empire? Ultimately, it doesn't matter. We've already learned huge amounts about the way the setting works. We've established new ways for the powers of love and harmony to be used to power magic outside the Elements of Harmony, while at the same time reinforcing the things we knew about characters old and new.

I disagree. The season premiere was a "come buy our new crystal pony toys" episode. World building expands on what is already there and/or connects new things to the old world. The Crystal Empire is neither of those, and it will probably get little more than a mention or two in later episodes; that's not world building.

So i was looking at the season 3 episode 1-2 recap on equestriadaily and noticed something quite interesting...
"
A crystal pony clearly calls her 'the crystal princess' during the scene. This is an interesting thing to call her, because we can say with some amount of accuracy that Cadance was not alive a thousand years ago when the Crystal Empire vanished, because we see her much younger when she was babysitting Twilight."
anyone else think this is interesting? and not only that...
"Behold, the Crystal Princess!" - random crystal pony: 37:07
Cadence's Cutie mark IS the Crystal Heart. (This pretty much confirms that Cadence is the descendant of the last ruler of the Crystal Empire before the Evil King showed up. Also begs the question if the throne holder truly remains the same, or if they pass on their rule once in a while.)"
so....with that in mind do you think theres more behind this pink alicorn then we know?
Just because she wasn't alive at the founding of the empire doesn't mean she can't rule it. Royal blood, derp herp.

I'm sorry Tsar, but the Crystal Empire fits exactly what you said that I have highlighted. It's a region of equestria (new thing) that was previously unknown to the rest of Equestria(old world).I disagree. The season premiere was a "come buy our new crystal pony toys" episode.

I do however agree with you on the fact that the Crystal Empire was largely a marketing ploy.

I think we all are thinking too superficially. Either that or too deeply. Obviously if they stuck with a linear Equestria, things would get boring eventually. Yes, the kingdom did appear out of nowhere, however it was there the whole time. Nopony knew of it though under Sombra's curse. I digress, there may be some marketing plot to this. I don't think that is the main drive behind this episode. A whole company does not invest so much money, time, effort, story boarding, and writing just to sell a toy. That's just impractical even from a conglomerate standpoint who can throw money around.I'm sorry Tsar, but the Crystal Empire fits exactly what you said that I have highlighted.

I'm just sitting back and enjoying this season after such a long break. Why do we have to overanalyze EVERYTHING? I'm just grateful we are able to watch the show in the first place.

Hasbro is a toy company first, and a show producing company second. They introduced a brother to Twilight who had not been mentioned ever before, and a third alicorn never mentioned before no other reason but to sell wedding toys, and both the wedding and latest opener were designed to sell toys.

He still looks like a train wreck of an OC, though.

Maybe, we'll never know. I love the idea of a Crystal Empire. I don't really care about the drive behind it. It was a damn good episode.[/font][/color]
