Active Time Report 6.0, Episode Duscae 2.0 release date, Story updates

I'm happy with the changes. I thought Stella seemed a bit cliche, if i'm being honest. She was like an Aerith to Noctis's Cloud. Feminine, strong, but not too strong, and most importantly, not cynical like the male hero. In fact, now that I think about it, I don't think the media ever depicts women as brooding and cynical. But I digress. Lunafreya is more interesting to me. At the end of the FFXV demo, the news reports that King Regis, Lunafreya, and Noctis are all dead. But we at least know that Noctis and Luna are not. It's obvious why we know Noctis isn't dead, and we see Luna escaping a ravaged Insomnia. Gotta say... i'm intrigued. I don't know a lot about Luna, but I am getting Ashe vibes from her. I think she will be part of some kind of insurgency, and will be mysterious to the player for a good chunk of the game. But like Ashe, she will be key to the conflict, and I think Noct and his gang will be assisting her in her mission. In the scene with her at the dinner table, I don't think she looks vapid. If I were to give a word for the vibe I got from her... it would be "dutiful"... She looks like she's got a duty to fulfill and that she's waiting for the right time before she goes into action. She also seems to have some kind of magic power? I say that because of the flickering lights she seems to produce in that scene. That may very well play a role in the plot.

Anyway, that being said, I do sympathize with those who wanted both Luna and Stella. I think there is a lot of great potential and possibilities with the story if both women existed and we're equally strong characters.

Welp, that's my two cents.

I am personally not too worried about it, but we definitely need to get more info on the story and world of the game (as well as the rest of the characters). The E3 2013 trailer they did was amazing and it really hyped me up for the game and boosted my confidence in it. But after that we have seen little on that side of things and most of the info has been about technical details related to gameplay and graphics; all of which is fine but just as with playing the demo, you end up wanting more. We need another story driven trailer of the same caliber as this...



That, along with a detailed synopsis and character bios/details would go a long way in giving us a better picture of the game.

A note regarding Stella, given the character portraits shown in the above trailer it seems that Stella had already been taken out and Luna had been included by then. Really looking forward to what they will reveal at Gamescon in August.
