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?

Did I hurt your feelings or something? I responded to you because the guy you quoted responded to me, and we share the same views about Stella. So yeah, your rack attack is confirmed based on that, end of discussion there.

Secondly. I never said anything about Nomura, or Tabata, so I don't know where you get this idea about we're saying it's Tabata's fault this changed etc, nobody even made such a claim. I know all about the background of Stella and such so I don't need a history lesson. Are you that pissed off we like Stella more than Luna?

you guys just have to go back and bring up those feels, those emotional memories..

Never forget Stella.

LOL. I didn't reply emotionally the way you have so far. I stated my opinion that the way sopme people like you still stuck with what they think they knew about Stella, the way people like you blow out of proportion what her role was to be in the original concept, etc... comes off as obsessive and misguided. No rack attack there. LOL

And yeah, let me quote you: Stella looks a lot better than Tabata's FFXV/Luna, it's what got me and possibily many others interested in the game.

Also, I am not pissed in the slightest. I don't need to be pissed to find something ridiculous. xD

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.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.  xD

You should read the definition of obsession. But I understand why you throw it at me. It was thrown at you, so someone like you, the only thing you can do is try to send it back at the other, instead of forging an argument all by yourself. Hence why I said, and reiterate, how weak your response has been so far, weak, and emotional. 

But hey, again, whatever helps you sleep at night. My stance about Stella and the people who keep bringing her up isn't going to change. So I suggest that unless you have anything substantial to say about Stella and the changes whe went through, you let all this rest. In the end, it's not like you know a whole lot more about the character replacing her, Luna. So your opinion still won't have much weight. In both case, what you have to say about it will come from incomplete knowledge.
