Clueless Gamer: Conan plays FFXV, "Why would someone play this?"

Seriously, people raving about Stella literally only have these info to go by:

"Stella was a member of the wealthy Fleuret family and resided in the land of Tenebrae. She was shown meeting Noctis at an aristocratic meeting, and it was said the two would share a connection. After a near-death experience early in her life, similar to Noctis, Stella could see the light from the Kingdom of the Dead, which granted her special powers. Although the two did not wish to fight each other, they were forced to do battle as a result of unknown circumstances. Magazine articles drew similarities between her situation and that of Celes Chere from Final Fantasy VI.

There was no new information on Stella since the game was rebranded Final Fantasy XV. 

According to staff comments Stella would have been an integral part of the story of Final Fantasy Versus XIII and would have had a strong link to the Fabula Nova Crystallis mythos, though she ultimately had little screentime.[3] Stella would have first met Noctis at the signing ceremony between Lucis and Niflheim, where a great deal of their connection would have been revealed.[4]

[And here's the interesting part:]

She was shown to reluctantly fight Noctis in a trailer, but it has been said the first trailers were conceptual and some elements, like the opposition of Stella and Noctis in the streets Insomnia, were no longer in Final Fantasy Versus XIII as of 2011.[3] Her relationship with Noctis was to have been platonic rather than romantic.[5] Rescuing her from danger, and learning of her role in the greater scheme of things would have been the central narrative arc of Final Fantasy Versus XIII."

To me, this infatuation with a character they know so little about comes off as obssessive and misguided.

 

Hynad, and Lurkerj, I find both of you obsession about other people's "obsession" to be quite disturbing.

Lurkerj, you need to stop with these ridiculous theories about "Without Tabata, we wouldn't have got FF15" Look, I cannot comment on speculations so just quit.. Here is something both of you might find offensive though, even though it shouldn't; The concept of FFvXIII, and Stella looks a lot better than Tabata's FFXV/Luna, it's what got me and possibily many others interested in the game.

 Hey look, you're free to have your opinions alright, but don't make a mockery, or tell others not to like what you don't like.. I mean c'mon, all I said was "never forget about Stella", and both of you, and the chocobo dude BasilZero, got a rack attack.

What a weak response.

You are not the only one who commented this way about Stella. You are not even the one who was quoted about it to begin with. So who's got a "rack attack"? 

You obvioulsy haven't read anything of what I brought up. If you had, you would know this: the first trailers were conceptual and some elements, like the opposition of Stella and Noctis in the streets of Insomnia, were no longer in Final Fantasy Versus XIII as of 2011.[3] Her relationship with Noctis was to have been platonic rather than romantic.[5] Rescuing her from danger, and learning of her role in the greater scheme of things would have been the central narrative arc of Final Fantasy Versus XIII.

Indeed, the changes to Stella and other concepts you so like, were made before Tabata was brought to lead the project. 

The more you know, right?
