Stella was just so cool. Luna seems very unimpressive by comparison. I still feel like it's BS that Stella couldn't be integrated into the story like Tabata claims. It was pretty clear that she was going to be torn between her feelings for Noctis and her countries' loyalty to Niflheim, there's no reason why that couldn't have fit into the final story for FFXV. 


"Within the overall theme of the journey, the team reasoned on what position a heroine should take, and thought that rather than having a more passive and weak heroine that needs to be saved, it would be much better to have a stronger and more determined female character, who actively engages with the events in the story, and to play that role they thought they needed a different character than Stella."
