| Wildcard36qs said: I understand they ditched Stella and basically made her into Luna (at least physically). But you guys have what, a few minutes of trailers and some promotional material to go on? How deep of a character development did you get from that? Someone saying they could tell her personality and how different she was from Luna based upon a few seconds in a cutscene? For real? It's just quite outrageous to me lol |
Stella not being in the game is more a symptom of the greater changes they're obviously making to the game. Over the last few years they've moved further and further away from the concept trailers and material they showed off. The darker tone and what was presented as the basis for the main story/game have now gone. It's not just a simple character change people are complaining about, but what it represents.
Problem is, SE's recent track record with managing FF titles is really quite bad. It's like they're developing based on popular trends; changing main characters to suit a set demographic; simplifying game traversal and hiding lore from players; releasing a buggy online game that ignored all advancements in the online space and forced them to rebuild the whole thing.
