Stella has been removed from Final Fantasy XV.

Actually, all related tweets (credit to @Nova_Crystallis):

-It sounds like he just want to be able to play the game soon.

-Nojima has issued a statement.

-The black haired woman we saw in 2013 and the dragoon lady from 2011 are still in the game.

-The city party scene is completely removed.

-They're also changing the original party scene we saw in the Versus trailers.

-Instead they created a new heroine with Luna, who has a different story.

-They're still trying to be faithful to Nojima's original vision for Versus XIII.

-Sounds like sequels are out, for one. They want to do a complete story in one game.

-The story has been changed from Versus XIII....

-Many Kingdom Hearts staff are still working on FFXV from the Versus days, but they've added some new staff from XIII/XIV.

-Her name is Itamuro.

-The script writer who worked on Dissidia Final Fantasy is working on FFXV.

-Roberto Ferrari created the character design for Cidney.

-Underwater fights may be DLC for FFXV if it does happen.

-You'll be able to buy and sell in bulk in the final game.

-Now live!

Exactly. A game is worth nothing if it won't be finished.

This scene's not gonna happen now, is it...

If they make her just some damsel in distress... ugh.

 

[Nirolak]

That's not too surprising. Luna seemed very similar conceptually.

 

[Veritigo_X]

Wasn't she in the latest trailer?

Edit: Oh Luna. Different person I guess. I can see why they got rid of her then.

 

[Mesoian]

God, how much of that old trailer was real?

What is FF15?

 

[spindashing]

Figured as much, but I guess this is nice confirmation.

 

[Blablurn]

o h no

 

[Jigolo]

The nomura dream is deas. Shitstorm incoming...

Post if you're okay Kagari

 

[TheGreatDirector]

RIP Kagari's Avatar for all eternity.

 

[Hatchtag]

I liked Lunas design more. Stella just has that TWEWYish city artwork going for her.

 

[Isotope]

Are you OK, Kagari?

 

[Kinsei]

Was that black hair or blonde hair?

 

[Shmuppers]

 

[Nirolak]

I remember duckroll mentioning the dialog in Dissidia was horrible:

"The script writer who worked on Dissidia Final Fantasy is working on FFXV."

 

[BatDan]

Her FF Wiki article for those unfamiliar

The article also mentions she was likely re-imagined into Lunafreya.

 

[Piers]

She changed along with Versus XIII.

 

[woopWOOP]

e: dangit, Shmuppers!

 

[CronoShot]

 

[Rush_Khan]

This is... pretty shocking, to be honest. Replaced by Luna?

 

[DJIzana]

I can smell the salt now but I do feel bad for those people. It doesn't bother me all that much, personally.

 

[LiK]

RIP Kagari's Avatar for all eternity.

Kagari is my Stella forever

 

[Redhood]

No! So from potential lovers they have changed it to childhood friends? How much has the story changed?

 

[Super Rookie]

Stella!!

 

[Ghost Slayer]

Kagari am cry

 

[Aeana]

I think we all knew this was going to happen. Some of us cautioned about it a few months ago, even.

 

[lonely]

It's okay the female Dragoon is still in though.

 

[spindashing]

e: dangit, Shmuppers!

There really IS a Seinfeld situation for everything, WTF.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Stella isn't dead she's just another character now.. Luna

 

[QuantumZebra]

They keep piling dirt on the coffin at this point.

Its amazing to think how hyped I was at the FFXV E3 announcement, and now we've come to this.

 

[Wishmaster92]

Thanks Obama.

 

[Shahadan]

Interesting female replaced by generic female.

Japan wins again

 

[Dark_castle]

I remember duckroll mentioning the dialog in Dissidia was horrible:

"The script writer who worked on Dissidia Final Fantasy is working on FFXV."

I'm more troubled by this. What else has Itamura work on?

 

[Slowdive]

A bit of a shame but not really surprising.

 

[Shift Breaker]

Ah, shucks, now what am I going to drink?

 

[AAK]

Seems more like Luna replaced Stella

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

I looked up Stella.

Then I looked up Luna.

Then I saw they were basically the same.

 

[ohlawd]

Stella > Luna tho

 

[Rymuth]

Poor Kagari.

 

[Breakfast at Noon]

who what why?

 

[dragonzdogma]

Stella was a much better name stellar from the Latin costellacion
meaning constellation of stars.

Luna is just singular ( one moon)

well whatever I am sure it was Nomuras Idea.

 

[Kagari]

I already knew about it. I'm just sad Tabata had to lie about it for 9 months.

 

[Newtype-001]

3D: Dreams do Die.

 

[AAK]

Interesting female replaced by generic female.

Japan wins again

What is the difference between them other than hair style?

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

I already knew about it. I'm just sad Tabata had to lie about it for 9 months.

just put some blond highlights in the hair, you'll never know the difference.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I remember duckroll mentioning the dialog in Dissidia was horrible:

"The script writer who worked on Dissidia Final Fantasy is working on FFXV."

that would explain the dialog in the demo

 

[PirateKing]

They keep piling dirt on the coffin at this point.

Its amazing to think how hyped I was at the FFXV E3 announcement, and now we've come to this.

My hype died when Vs 13 was canned. Goddamnit i wanted that game

 

[klaushm]

Damn it.

Looked similar but they've could let her...

 

[diffusionx]

 

[Glass Rebel]

Black haired girl is still in? Good. Good. Couldn't give two shits about blondie #1.

 

[Lights and Waves]

Generic passive blonde JRPG girl replaced by generic passive blonde JRPG girl.

 

[Kinyou]

I looked up Stella.

Then I looked up Luna.

Then I saw they were basically the same.

I dont think I even realised they were different characters. Just took Luna as the graphically updated version .
