You know what I haven't gotten to do in a while? A full-on post with nothing but Rarity in it. And now I have a legitimate excuse to do so.
Ahem.
The Fighting is Magic team has released several pieces of Rarity-related news that you should all be interested in. Firstly, her stage music has been released, and it's just about as awesome as you'd expect the best pony's music to be. You can find that embedded after the break.
As a small addendum to that bit of best pony news, Rarity's voice actress for the game has also been chosen. She goes by the name of Hnilmik, and I must say, she does an excellent job capturing the character of the best pony. You can also find her audition after the break, and the announcement post from Mane 6 here.
Lastly, the team will be hosting a livestream on Tuesday, February 21, at 8pm EST. The developers and a few people from their internal QA testing program will be playing a few matches, showing the game's progress, and talking about the behind-the-scenes development process. You can find more information on that stream, including an FAQ, here.
And some more Rarity, just for good measure:

Fighting is Magic is best game.
VastaKustutaAnd that's how Equestria was made!
VastaKustutaOoh livestream
VastaKustutaAwesome, can't wait for the game to be out.
VastaKustutaBack into the closet Cereal
VastaKustutaI loved that music, and the VA sounded spot on.
VastaKustutaNext tuesday can't come any sooner. Oh my God, so many things happening all of a sudden!
Y U NO RELEASE DEMO?
VastaKustutaWhat was that about Rarity? I didn't quite catch that.
VastaKustutaIn all seriousness this game is shaping up to amazing.
Can't wait to play it. And she is easy on the eyes. But not THE best pony out there. ;)
VastaKustutaI find it interesting that you choose to use "an" with FAQ. I've always pronounced it as a word ("fack"), rather than pronounce each letter ("eff ay queue").
VastaKustutaAlso I am so excited about this game you have no idea.
Satisfied Rarity fanboy is satisfied.
VastaKustutaHmmm, don't like the new theme as much as the last two. Can't deny it is very Rarity-ish.
VastaKustutawa haha
VastaKustutaSeriously looking forward to this...
VastaKustutaMilady is too much of a lady to fight.
VastaKustutaThe music is great, it fits very well with Rarity. Sophisticated but powerful.
VastaKustutaThat voice is virtually perfect. This is going to be an amazing game.
Celestia dammit, Cereal...
VastaKustutaRarity aside, I still can't wait for this game. That Rarity voice is incredible. If I didn't know any better, I might say it were Tabitha herself.
This game is going to be seventeen kinds of reality-shattering awesomeness, and they still have barely released anything about Fluttershy.
VastaKustutaThe day that they do give us more information about Fluttershy, every single one of you will hear me squeal like a...something that squeals.
CANNOT. WAIT. FOR. THIS. GAME.
It's similar to Sburban Jungle.
VastaKustutaEven the Wahaha's are spot on!
VastaKustutaThis is the most truthful post I've seen in a long time. =)
VastaKustutaRarity IS the best pony.
Wohoo Rarity!
VastaKustutaI approve of your post Cereal!
VastaKustutaSpot on performance by Hnilmik! That's a pretty amazing Rarity right there.
Fighting is magic just keeps me on the edge, can't wait to see more out of them.
Rarity<3
VastaKustutaFANTASTIC VA for her!
The audition was flawless. A good VA for the game no doubt. The theme song isn't bad, it certainly fits Rarity. But as personal taste goes I still prefer the Twilight and AJ themes just a bit more.
VastaKustutaSeriously can't wait for this game.
I guess this game might actually be released by midsummer or so.
VastaKustutaThey say they'll release it when done with the mane 6.
AJ has programming, animation, VA, stage, and music. Twilight has all that as well.
Rarity now has everything except possibly some animation. The livestream hopefully will reveal more.
Pinkie's got some programming and animation done, and has a VA, but no music or stage.
And the two pegasi are still in the early stages I think.
So I'm guessing we're about 65-70% of the way there now.
Rarity is best pony, no doubt. I still like Applejack's theme the best though.
VastaKustutaThe Rarity is overloading my mind! Ah the pain!
VastaKustutaThe voice actress is spot on, nice work!
VastaKustuta@MyBoyJ
VastaKustutaYet another first comment!
... have you been f5-ing excessively today?
The music sounds pretty good, as expected. :) I like the VA for her too. She matches quite well and she seems to have good emotion and projection.
VastaKustutaRARITY!!! :D
VastaKustutaBUCK.
VastaKustutaYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
This, plus the Tara Strong twitter stuff, PLUS plus getting my Blind Bags I ordered today, have made this the best Pony Day in a while for me.
Only thing that could make it better would be to get my fic accepted.
...should probably get around to submitting that, now that I think about it.
CURSE YOU PONIES FOR DISTRACTING ME FROM PONIES.
Dat Rarity V.A. Is excellent.
VastaKustutaThat is a very good actor.
VastaKustutaWait, the same artist who drew the Rarity sitting on a Piano also drew the Sexy Twilight Tara Strong posted?
VastaKustutaMind Blown.
Tabitha St Germains gonna Tabitha St Germain
VastaKustutaThat VA is scary good....
VastaKustutaSo much excitement. It's almost uncontrollable!
VastaKustutaAlthough that best pony bit may be a tad off, Rarity's music is DA BOMB. Even better than Applejack's! (Who is best pony)
VastaKustutaHoly voice actor of the gods!
VastaKustutaAlthough all indications point to this being a fun game, even if it isn't, it'll definitely sound great.
VastaKustutaIf Hnilmik reads this, what kind of training have you had and how do you get ready for an audition? Because it's working.
@Mike
VastaKustutaI am a mediator.
I am the mid-afternoon.
I am MYBOY!
But seriously, it's the one superpower I have, and I use it to ensure that the first comment is relevant.
LOL Cereal.
VastaKustutaYou just HAD to have an excuse to post those pictures, didn't you?
Cannot get enough pony games. I almost typed gasms completely by accident. Thank god for spell checker. Really. It was an accident, bros. You believe me right?
VastaKustutaGood theme but its missing subtle moments that would make it a fighting theme.
VastaKustutaI always worry about Rarity, almost as much as Fluttershy, even though Fluttershy it's more obvious why. I always feel like nopony will treat Rarity as fancy as she deserves. And again with the ninja sword ad banner. Are these ponies preparing to conquer everything? Oh wait, they already have!
VastaKustutaI can't wait to for this game to come out it. Did check out the rainbow dash theme created by Rainbowcrash88 himself, this was on the brony show. It's only 36 seconds but if 36 seconds needed to be 20% then here is your answer!

Excellent music!
VastaKustutaExcellent voice acting!
Excellent animation!
This game is going to be So Awesome!
This game is going to be awesome. I kinda want to hack there database just to play the game right noaw :D
VastaKustutaRarity VA was spot on. I think I'll have to let the song grow on me, as I'm not terribly fond of it yet.
VastaKustutaThis game is going to be awesome!
VastaKustutaRarity is best pony.
Rarity's theme is a bit too "trance genre" for my tastes. The voice acting is excellent, if a bit squeaky at times.
VastaKustutaThat stage music was not what I was expecting, like at all. I was expecting something with more of an Art of the Dress motif to it, and while I've been told it's there, I'm still personally finding it hard to catch. Oh well, it's not bad, I'll just have to give it some time to see if it grows on me, but as of right now this is by far my least favorite stage music, which disappoints me so very much.
VastaKustutaThe VA, however, now she is quite spot on. Simply fabulous darling.
Quite a good actor, I'd like to see some gameplay of her though, and yes Rarity IS best pony
VastaKustuta...
VastaKustutaRarity is the new Dudley!
┌─┐

ಠ_ರೃ
I hope they do fluttershy soon
VastaKustutaIs it just me, or are the comments on youtube really messed up? Like, it will explode every comment the video has received at once for some reason.
VastaKustutaAnd I still think Applejack has the best stage theme so far.
UGH! I thought I had escaped Hnilmik when I left the Machinima community!
VastaKustutaThis theme is so hype.
VastaKustutaVoice actress is also the voice actress for Ms. Fortune in Skullgirls. All of the hype faces.
VastaKustutai'm really hoping for the ability to spectate matches. Bronytv is going to be hosting fighting is magic tourneys, and we would like to be able to stream the final matches.
VastaKustutaWonderful news, also amazing VA
VastaKustutaThe composer is a genius!
VastaKustuta> Said this post was all Rarity
VastaKustuta> Multiple occurrences of the term "best pony"
You said Rarity, Cereal, not Twilight Sparkle...
The trance seemed a bit to 'tech' sounding in the synths to be rarity's music style. Perhaps something with more chromatic percussion would be her style. Music that sparkles like gemstones instead of sounding like sin-waves and oscilloscopes.
VastaKustutaOh, and Dainty Dish is being best pony. Mikoyan said so himself.
Thank you Cereal, I haven't had enough Rarity lately. Seth's wallpaper compilation almost brought me to tears due to lack of Rarity.
VastaKustutaClearly the best way to listen to the theme and audition is to listen to both of them at the SAME TIME! It's awesome.
VastaKustuta*gasp*
VastaKustutaRARITYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY(gasm).
*squee*
I'm worried for Pinkie's theme, since it was said in the comments this guy might be working on hers as well. :<
VastaKustutaRarity's is not bad - far from it, but it definitely did not give me the "WOW" like Applejack and Twilight's did.
Guess I'll just hope for the best.
RARITY'S STAGE THEM YEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR MORE STAGE THEMES FOR AAAAAAGES! :D
VastaKustutaOff to put this on my mp3 player and listen the heck out of it. <3
Rarity for the epic win.

VastaKustutaDat voice and theme!
VastaKustutaI guess she sounds acceptable. I'll still turn off the voices if it's an option, though; I'm a massive perfectionist when it comes to these things. The music is fine, but I like the other 2 themes better. Anyway, I'm glad to see Fighting is Magic get one step closer to completion!
VastaKustuta@Solarsail Yes! I'm not going crazy! I heard that too!
VastaKustutaImpressive voice talent!
VastaKustutaThey found a very good voice actor and I like the music too but I like Twilight Sparkle's theme better.
VastaKustutaCan't wait for this game to get finished. Also, you are a Heretic. Pinkie Pie is Best Pony.

VastaKustuta@two_eyes
VastaKustutaI pronounces it like "fa queue".
The Mane6 guys are incredible!
VastaKustutaI'm totally going to buy the game when it comes out.
